Happy Monday, STAMPlorations friends! April is nearly over but we have one more special event this month: the addition of a new stencil designer. I'm excited to welcome the super-creative Helen Gullett and her line of fun stencils designed exclusively for STAMPlorations/ARTplorations!
If you've been following our blog for a while now, you'll know that Helen is on our mixed media design team and CUTplorations design team. She makes some of the most gorgeous
mixed media projects and tutorials, especially the coffee-themed ones. I'm thrilled she has decided to design stencils exclusively for STAMPlorations. In fact, her first 6 stencil designs are already in the store under her stencil line,
Helen G. Designs.
I asked Helen to share a little bit about herself and her new stencil line.
"Hello everyone! My name is Helen Gullett. Today, I'm so thankful, honored and thrilled to be share this amazing news! I am joining the STAMPlorations family with my stencil line, Helen G. Designs, as part of the ARTplorations collection. I would like to thank Shery for giving me this great opportunity and a place to share my designs and taking me on board.
Designing has been something I've been dreaming of doing since I was at middle school when I started with dress sketches. I never thought that this designing dream would come true now. This idea of designing stencils was started with my love for mixed media projects when I joined the STAMPlorations team. I love using stencils to create some backgrounds for my projects so I started to make my own. I sketched some shapes on my tablet using one of the sketch apps, and then I turned them into some stencils that I cut with my electronic cutting machine. I am still at learning stage of designing but I love doing it! I hope that through this opportunity, I can keep learning, growing, and continue designing more.
All of my designs are inspired by drawings that you can do with a pencil or marker on projects. The sky is the limit to use my first 6 stencils and with them creating backgrounds will be easier!!! Hope you like them and enjoy creating with them. Thank you so much for your support and love. I cannot wait to see your projects!"
On Wednesday, Helen will lead the STAMPlorations girls in a fun stencil hop where her stencils take the spotlight. So make sure to stop by here again on Wednesday, April 24, at 7 a.m. Pacific because there will be 3 prizes up for grabs :o)
So see you again in a couple of days for some stencil inspiration, okay? Until then, happy crafting!
