Vellum is not a new product to the craft market by any means, but this product has been making a comeback into the paper-craft world as a new trend, especially in card making.
Vellum is a paper that was originally made out of calfskin instead of pulp like traditional paper. Vellum is a translucent or semitransparent paper that can be printed on, stamped on, torn and manipulated much in the same way as regular paper and transparencies. It’s a great product to use in place of either paper or transparencies.
The Basics With Vellum
Standard vellum is white, but you can also find it in different colors and even printed with designs. There are specialty vellum papers that even have great foil and glitter finishes applied to them. In a nutshell, what you can find in traditional paper, you can find in vellum.

It was so satisfying to be able to complete a card with any creative technique I felt like using at the time.

One of my favorite things about this time of year is that nearly everything takes on a holiday shine.

Gelli Plates Printing
A few years ago, the only way to make a gelatin print was to make a gelatin printing plate. The process was tedious, and the plates were temperamental, often disintegrating within an hour. That’s all in the past. Thanks to Gelli Arts, the soft and spongy Gelli Printing Plate is here to stay!
Let's Color! Paints & Pastes
It’s only appropriate that this issue’s coloring column is inspired by autumn. Natural aging effects, rustic textures and colorful leaves are the influences for the following techniques using chalk paints and pastes.

Project note: Refer to photo and Quilled Shape diagrams when forming quilled shapes. Use a fine-tip glue applicator or toothpick to place glue on ends of quilling paper when securing quilled shapes. Tweezers can also be used to place quilled shapes onto card.
