It's Better with Color, Part 6: Claudine Hellmuth Studio Product Line

It's time for a new installment for our "It's Better with Color" series. Today, the E-Team is taking on Part 6: Claudine Hellmuth Studio Product Line. We love this fabulous collection of acrylic paints, Sticky Back Canvas, brushes, & more.


With the holiday season fast approaching, gift giving with handmade items for special people are on the top of the list. You have to plan for these special gifts and want to make sure that you use the best stuff out there. Acrylic paints are a staple of seasonal art supplies for its color options, ability to go on many surfaces, its permanent feature, and overall value. 

Visit the E-Team during this blog hop and you'll see the variety of projects they have created. You'll get inspiration from surfaces they used and how they used the paints to create their final piece. Check out the vibrant colors and texture that the Claudine Hellmuth Studio Product Line really brings out in a project.

New E-Team Blog Hop + an eclectic Challenge

IT IS TIME for a new E-Team Blog hop plus a new challenge for you. 
I challenged the e-Team by giving them three materials to work with. I knew that they had these supplies on hand and were easily accessible. I gave them the following supply list to work with:

1. Distress Inks (could be a combination of Distress Ink Pads or Distress Stains)
2. Any kind of die (could be Spellbinders, Sizzix, Cuttlebug, Circuit, etc...)
3. and an EGG CARTON - incorporate into your project somehow. You could flatten it out, cut it up, or use it as a surface.

Visit the e-Team this weekend to see what they created. Leave one comment per e-Team blog participant beginning today - Sun, August 14th. Two winners will be chosen randomly from the e-Team blogs to win some of the new 6x6 paper pads that have arrived along with some other eP goodies.
