Paintstik Rubbings 3: Joyfully Messy Rubbings

December 19, 2013 ShellyStokes

by Shelly Stokes, Founder and Creative Mentor Today I want to take a HUGE step away from everything I have ever said about making Paintstik rubbings. Today, we’re going to talk about making “messy” rubbings. And not just a little bit messy — we are going straight for the joyfully messy version! (By the way, […]

Paintstik Rubbings 2: Sticky Stuff Alternatives

December 12, 2013 ShellyStokes

by Shelly Stokes, Founder and Creative Mentor Last week, we talked about my favorite method for creating clean, clear paintstik rubbings. To do this, I shared my fondness for sticky mats and sticky spray. Well, that’s all and good if you happen to have these items on hand. But what if you don’t? I am […]

Paintstik Rubbings 1: Clean, Crisp Images

December 5, 2013 ShellyStokes

by Shelly Stokes, Founder and Creative Mentor One of the comments I hear most frequently from readers, students and shop owners is “wow, my paintstik rubbings don’t look anything like that!” Rather than telling you what I think is the right way to make rubbings, I thought it might be a lot more fun to […]

Stamp, Squish and Spritz!

January 30, 2012 ShellyStokes

No, we’re not going to run and jump into puddles, but we are definitely going to play with water — and a few really cool water-based products.

Paint a Doodle-ooo!

The fabulous new Doodles Rubbing Plates are finally in the warehouse and ready to ship. Hooray! I had hoped to have them a month ago, but they are certainly worth the wait. As always, the plates are packaged with a header card that has a series of thumbnail images, so you can see what’s in […]

We’re One Step Closer to a Doodle Fest!

October 3, 2011 ShellyStokes

Oh my gosh! I just finished a quick test of the new Doodle plates and I am thrilled beyond words. OK — not quite beyond words — obviously, I’m still typing. The images are simply fantastic. (I’ll refrain from using the word “awesome” — my graphic artist would hang me!) But the new plates are […]

Sneak Peek: Metal Embossing

July 25, 2011 ShellyStokes

I’ve been reading articles in Cloth Papers Scissors for several years about embossing designs on metal, and I’ve often wondered if I could transfer the designs from our rubbing plates to metal. Happy me — the answer is definitely “yes!” This technique will definitely be included in my new Rubbing Plate Roundup book. Here are […]

Oops! Now What? — Cleaning Up Paintstik Rubbings

June 20, 2011 ShellyStokes

Even though I’ve been making paintstik rubbings for a gazillion years now, I still find myself running off the edge of a plate and putting paint where I don’t want it. Or dropping my paintstick on the fabric, or something that causes me to say “Oops!” (Yes, sometimes I say something other than “oops” but […]

Are You Allergic To Single Colors?

June 13, 2011 ShellyStokes

I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely a “multi-color” girl. What ever I do, what ever I create, I want LOTS and LOTS of color! Why would I confine myself to one or two colors when I can use a bunch? Today I’ve got tips on how you can make multi-color rubbings. With the […]
