Janna Werner’s Creative Jump Start

CJSLogo_500

It is fun to have an awesome German Scrapbooker and Paper Crafter pale that you can see in person once in while. Janna Werner has an amazing trendy style and is also very sweet. Finally last year we were able to see each other in Germany..two times…and two times it was über* fun. Hope the third time happens soon 🙂

Janna-Werner-Jumpstart-4

My name is Janna, I am a 34 year old papercraft and mixed media artist from Germany.
I grew up in Oldenburg and moved back after living in Leipzig for 6 years. I am a “real” Northern German girl, treasuring the flat country and a cup of tea in the afternoon 🙂

I live in a house with a small garden and a pond, together with my Danish husband Jesper, our dog Sindri, two rabbits and a few “foster”goldfish. I spend a lot of time in my studio which is in the first floor of our house. Here is where I craft, paint, take photos and work on the computer.

My love for paper crafts and mixed media art evolved in 2010 when a friend introduced me to scrapbooking. Since then I have been working together with well-known papercrafting companies, magazines and artists. Furthermore I am teaching scrapbooking and mixed media online classes and in-person workshops.

I started my blog in June 2010. Originally it was called “Papiersalat und Wollmäuse” and was ment to be a blog about my papercrafting and sewing adventures. As it turned out, I am too impatient for sewing and the “Wollmäuse” (dust bunnies) were promptly decomissioned. Papiersalat is now a place where I share comissioned and “just for fun” work, as well as cooperations, private insights, tutorials, videos and art.

1,2,3… use your sprays!

I am a huge fan of sprays… they are versatile, colorful and nice to look at (even if they are only standing on the shelf..). There are many ways how to use them, in this video I am showing you three different techniques how to apply sprays to your project. Enjoy!

  68. deborahl591 says:

    wonderful … i love the different ways to get the splatters onto the pages/projects as well as the different looking splatters. thanks Janna.

  69. Love the splatters

  70. I love Janna’s work and read her blog regularly so it was great to hear her talking. Just when I think I know everything about a specific tool or technique along comes someone and shows me something new- I hadn’t seen the plastic wrap mist technique before and I love the idea to use an acrylic block- that should have occurred to me already! Both are interesting for backgrounds since they add a lot of color and random shapes without the mess direct misting usually leads too. Will be trying both!

  71. very informative! Love the book binding for your mini-album! Would have loved to see more of it!! (big smile!)

  72. Thank you Janna, loved your video.

  73. Oooh more messiness!! Can’t wait to have a go 🙂

  74. Love it! I have tons of sprays and love to use them. Janna has given me some more cool techniques to play with them. thanks!

  75. Thanks for sharing your ideas! I love the splatter techniques. Also, your mini album was awesome!

  76. Great idea about using the caps. I have a couple of sprays that are clogged up and I’m happy to learn I can still use them by pouring some in the cap, or with a brush. The plastic and the stamping block are new to me too. Thanks for sharing!!

    Carmen L

  77. I would have never thought to spray into the cap or dip a brush right into the bottle. The technique using a piece of plastic gives a neat water color look. Thanks for sharing these great techniques!

  78. Thanks for reminder of what you can do with the color sprays! 😉

  79. I’ve done splatter; but would never have thought of the acrylic block method. Thanks!

  80. Christina says:

  165. Thank you Janna for sharing your interesting spray techniques. I enjoyed the video very much.
    My only problem with misting is that the sprays continuously get blocked, especially if not used every day (even if I upside down spray/clear out the tube). Do you have a suggestion to keep the spray bottles functioning?

  166. A great inspiration to pull my sprays out. Thank you for sharing your finished project. beautiful. I especially liked how you used the alpha stencil on the fabric. Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
