Crafting in Bloom: Forget-Me-Not Card Creations
Crafting in Bloom: Forget-Me-Not Card Creations
Good day, fellow crafters. It's Tamara once again, with a new post showcasing my latest card created using Blank Page Muse products! Today, I’m thrilled to share a step-by-step guide to creating a stunning forget-me-not greeting card using the beautiful stencil from Blank Page Muse. This delicate floral design, with its vibrant purple blooms and intricate details, is perfect for adding a personal touch to your handmade cards. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just starting out, this project will inspire you to "live life in full bloom" with every brushstroke and layer. Let’s dive into the process and bring this charming design to life!
- Forget Me Not Floral stencil from Blank Page Muse
- Light blue cardstock panel - 4.25" x 5.5"
- Light Purple cardstock panel - 4.25" x 5.5"
- White A2 Card base
- Inks in preferred colors (I chose purple, blue, green and forget-me-not blue)
- Ink-blending brush(s)
- Sticky mat (optional but very useful to hold work in place without using tape)
- Scissors
- Liquid glue
- Paper Trimmer
- Sentiment of choice (I chose to use a sentiment along with a Better Press)
- Edged die of choice
- Die-cut machine
- Water color pigments
- Flat back pearls (I chose a light yellow)
Process:
For this project, I am featuring the Forget Me Not floral stencil that Blank Page Muse created at my request, and I have to say I am extremely happy with the result of their efforts.
- Using the light blue cardstock and the sticky mat, secure the cardstock in place and the stencil over top in the orientation most pleasing to you.
- Using the purple ink and an ink-blending brush, add ink to the petals until satisfied with the resulting hue.
- Using the forget-me-not blue ink and an ink-blending brush, add ink to the center/interior edge of the petals until satisfied with the resulting hue.
- Using the green ink and an ink-blending brush, add ink to the stem and leaves until satisfied with the resulting hue.
- Using the die-cutting machine and the edged die of choice, cut the image panel to size. For this project, I wanted a large reveal for the mat, so the size I chose may be smaller than yours.
- Using the forget-me-not blue ink and an ink-blending brush, apply ink around the edges to create a vignette.
- Add the sentiment of choice, I chose a sentiment from my stash, blue ink, and my Better Press to achieve the look featured
- Using the water color pigment of choice, apply a splatter effect.
- Adhere the flat-backed pearls with liquid glue.
- Adhere the image panel to the light purple mat with liquid glue.
- Adhere the composite to the white A2 card base with liquid glue.

Crafting a Vibrant Birthday Masterpiece with the Jacobs Ladder Technique
Crafting a Vibrant Birthday Masterpiece with the Jacobs Ladder Technique
Good day, fellow crafters. It's Tamara once again, with a new post showcasing my latest card created using Blank Page Muse products! If you're ready to dive into creating a stunning "Happy Birthday" card using the Jacobs Ladder technique, you're in for a treat. This vibrant project combines the fluidity of water-based inks with creative manipulation to craft a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned crafter, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the essentials to get started—gathering your materials, setting up your workspace, and unleashing your creativity.
- Fantasy Flourish stencil from Blank Page Muse
- White cardstock panel - 4.25" x 5.5"
- White A2 Card base
- Water-based inks in preferred colors (I chose red, green, blue, and purple)
- Ink-blending brush(s)
- Sticky mat (optional but very useful to hold work in place without using tape)
- Scissors
- Liquid glue
- Paper Trimmer
- Sentiment of choice
- Die-cut machine
- Watermark ink
- Black ink
- Heat Tool
- Clear embossing powder
Process:
- Apply the white card stock to the sticky mat securely.
- Use the water-based inks and ink-blending brushes to blend the chosen color palette to the desired hues for each. Allow the ink to dry.
- Apply the Blank Page Muse stencil over the inked cardstock and secure to the sticky mat as seen in the image on the right.
- Use the watermark ink and ink-blending brush to fill in the stencil.
- Remove the stencil and the inked card base from the sticky mat.
- Apply a generous amount of clear embossing powder to the card base, tap to remove excess, and then heat set with the heat tool. This will act as a resist for the next inking.
- Return the card base to the sticky mat and secure it in place.
- With a pouncing motion, generously apply the black ink to the entire card base.
- Using the micro-fiber towel, gently wipe the ink from the embossed areas.
- Allow to dry completely.
- Using the sentiment of choice, in this case a die cut of Happy Birthday, adhere the sentiment to the panel with liquid glue.
- Lastly, to complete the card, adhere the panel to the white A2 card base.
