Thoughts of Autumn

Hi, friends!

It's design team member Walter on the blog today.  The temps here in New England have started to drop into the 60's, which means that Autumn is starting to creep in.  I love this weather - it's my favorite tome of the year.  I was thinking of this as I was trying to come with an idea for card and, naturally, leaves came to mind.  I was looking through my stamps and saw the IBFS Woman's Head stamp and thought . . . bingo!  What if I used her as the base of the image and then had fall colored leaves on top of her head in place of hair to symbolize thinking of Autumn?  I grabbed the stamp and started to create.

Here's what I used to create it:

• Woman's Head stamp from I Brake for Stamps
  
• Autumn Leaves dies from Kat Scrappiness
• Piece of brown shipping paper
• Piece of word patterned paper from stash
• A2 size card base
• Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Antique Linen, Tea Dye, Vintage Photo, Old Paper, Fired Brick, Rusty Hinge, Scorched Timber
• Brutus Monroe Ornament Gold Chroma Mist
• Gold Acrylic Bubbles
• Old fashioned label maker

Here's how I made it:

• Stamped the image with black ink and fussy cut it.
• Took the piece of shipping paper and crumpled it up; smoothed it out and then adhered to the A2 card base with double sided tape and craft glue.

• Ran the Scorched Timber ink pad around the edges of the card; used a blending brush to add some Tea Dye and Vintage Photo inks to the card.

• Used double sided foam tape to adhere the stamped image to the card.
• Ink blended the word patterned paper with Old Paper, Fired Brick, Rusty Hinge, and Antique Linen inks; spritzed it with Ornament Gold Chroma Mist

• Used leaf dies to cut out leaves from the patterned paper.

• Glued the leaves down to the image starting at her hairline and building up until all leaves were used.
• Used a label maker to create the sentiment, "Thoughts of Autumn."

• Glued down three gold acrylic bubbles.

I really like the symbolism of the leaves with words on them coming off of the top of her head!  It's such a fun depiction of thinking about Autumn.  Sometimes the best ideas come to life when you just let your mind wander!

Thanks for spending some time reminiscing with me today!  See you again soon.

Day of the Dead Banner

Hello! I created a banner using two sugar skull stamps from Blank Page Muse in preparation for the Day of the Dead which is celebrated on November 1 to November 2. 

The Blank Page Muse stamps I used are:

• Sugar Skull Male Mustache Day of the Dead Art Rubber Stamp
  
• Sugar Skull Floral Flourish Day of the Dead Art Rubber Stamp
  

I prepped a black cardstock with an anti-static tool before stamping the image using an embossing ink. This step limits the amount of stray powder on the cardstock. 

I poured embossing powder to the inked panel. I am using different neon colored embossing powders. I brushed off any stray embossing powder using a dry paint brush.

Using a heat tool, I melted the embossing powder. I usually start with the heat gun pointed towards the back of the powdered image. This somehow prevents the powder from being blown off. After which, I melted the rest of the powder with the heat gun pointed directly on the powdered image. Make sure to move the heat gun frequently to prevent over melting the embossing powder. 

I wiped off the anti-static powder from the embossed panel with a dry cloth. I fussy cut the image leaving a small border around it. 

I added details to the embossed image with neon gel pens. 

I added gems to the eyes keeping the colors the same for a monochromatic look.

I temporarily adhered the skulls to a trim with a piece of tape. To make this permanent, use a glue gun to adhere the skulls to the trim.

You can create more skulls depending on how much you need to decorate your home.

Sugar Skull Halloween

 Sugar Skull Halloween

Good day, fellow crafters. It's Tamara once again, with a new post where I am going to be showcasing my latest card created using I Brake for Stamps and Blank Page Muse products! 

Sugar skulls, known as "Calaveras de Azúcar" in Spanish, are a traditional part of Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) celebrations, particularly in Mexico. These colorful, decorative skulls are made from a sugar paste and are often adorned with vibrant icing, beads, and foil to create intricate designs. They hold a deep cultural significance, symbolizing the deceased and serving to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away.

When life give you Lemons!

 I have always loved the phrase, "When live gives you lemons, make lemonade!" I also love the combination of yellow and black.

Thinking about You

 Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today.

Today I am using some amazing products from Blank Page Muse.

Blank Page Muse Stamps:  Let's Get Away, Special Day Clear Stamps

Using a white card base, adhere brown cardstock.

Add a dotted panel to the card, then add a striped panel to the left side, placing a strip of cardstock between the 2 panels.

Add orange cardstock to the card. 

Stamp a truck on cream cardstock then die cut.

Next, I die cut another shape and stamped the phrase, placing it on the card with foam adhesives for dimension (note, I didn't fully stamp the truck, so the phrase hid the error!).

Thanks for stopping by.

Steph
