"2 Kool 4 Skool"

Hello Blank Page Muse Fans!

I'm back with my second post for this month and it's another "Back to School" themed project!

I've teamed up a Blank Page Muse Stamp with some Rick St Dennis digis for this creation!!

Rick also designs rubber stamps for Blank Page Muse and they are just as fab as his digis so make sure you pop over to the store and check them out!

Supplies:

• Blank Page Muse Rubber Stamp: Numbers Collage
• Rick St Dennis Digital Stamp Sheet: Mall Girlz
• Black Journal Page or Black Card or Black Gesso Painted Page
• Gelli Print or Painted Paper
• White Card to Print Digital Images
• Embossing Ink Pad and Fine Black Embossing Powder
• Copic Markers or Any Colouring Medium
• Embellishments: ink sprayed muslin cloth, cardboard letters or any of your choice
• Tools: heat gun, glue, scissors

Instructions:

Start with your gelli or painted paper and Numbers Collage Stamp.

Stamp the Numbers Collage multiple times over the painted page with the embossing pad and heat emboss with the fine black embossing powder and cut out each of the stamped images.

Arrange the cut out stamped images over your black background page and when you are happy adhere them to the page. Once dry cut off any overhanging bits.

Next step is to print your digital images onto white card and colour with your choice of colouring medium and fussy cut.

Use little cardboard letters and numbers (or whatever you have in your stash!!!!) to spell out your phrase or wording - "2 Kool 4 Skool".

Arrange all your elements on the page background using any embellishments you have on hand. Used here ink sprayed muslin cloth and cardboard letters.

Happy Stamping

Sharon

Pockets full of inspiration

Hi Everyone,
Jess here today.  I am a huge reader.  I love everything about books.  Remember when you used to have to sign out your books at the library by writing your name on the card in the pocket?  Today I have a project for you using library pockets.

Blank Page Muse Products:

 Small Crackle

Correspondence 

Feathers

Sequin Waste

Pointing Hand

Small Butterfly

Hot Air Balloon

Other Supplies:

Library Pockets

Paper Dolls

Photobooth Photos

Distress Inks

Distress Oxide Ink

Archival Inks

Adhesive

Chipboard Sentiments

Bronze Paint

Vintage Sheet Music

Heavy weight thread

Milk Cap

Die Cuts

Mini flashcard

fabric tape

Frosted Crystal Embossing powder

Cardstock

Paper Distresser

Start by using a piece of silver cardstock. Coat the cardstock using Distress Ink and Oxide Ink.  Once the ink is dry use archival ink to stamp the  Small Crackle stamp.  Using a paper distresser rough up all the edges and cover the front of your library pocket.  

Stamp a piece of vintage sheet music with the postal stamp from the Correspondence  set.  Slide the paper into the pocket and glue it in place.  Add your 3d embossed border to the top of the pocket.  Stitch a small "x" onto your photo and glue it onto the crackled background.  Glue on the milk cap and chipboard sentiment. 

Stamp out the small Butterfly using archival ink.  Add bronze paint to the edges and cut the butterfly in half.  Add the wings to a paper doll and slide her into the pocket. 

This will complete your front cover. 

 Line a second pocket up to the backside of your first pocket.  Using a piece of fabric tape attach the pockets together.  Line the backside of your first pocket with a vintage airmail envelope.  Use postage stamps from the Correspondence  set in various spots.

Using archival ink stamp a Hot Air Balloon.  Color the balloon using various shades of blue distress ink.  Fussy cut your balloon and use the bronze paint to cover your raw edges.

Adhere the balloon to the page.  Add a paper doll, chipboard sentiment, and die cut globe.  Using the smallest  of the Feathers stamp them all around your page.  

   Use patterned scrapbook paper to cover the pocket on your next page.  Add the Pointing Hand and Feathers to the top of the pocket.   

Use the   Small Crackle stamp to add age to a tiny flashcard.  Use bronze paint around the edges. 

Add paper doll with die cut suitcase into the pocket.

Here are the middle pages. 

For the back of the second page(your back cover), stamp on a plain piece of cardstock. Use the script stamp from the Correspondence  set, the  Small Crackle stamp, Sequin Waste, and the  Feathers.  I used various shades of archival inks in browns and reds to create my background.  Glue the paper to your pocket.  Rip a piece of patterned scrapbook paper and add it to the edge.  Stamp out a couple Feathers using archival ink and fussy cut them,  Add the tiniest hint of blue using distress inks to the feathers and edge in bronze paint.  Cut a small slit in your photo and slide the feathers in to make them appear to be wings.  Glue remaining pieces to complete your book.     

I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Jess

Mechanical Bird Card

Welcome to my bright and colorful semi-steampunk card. I love the look of gears and the mechanical bird image but I'm not always a fan of the dark and dreary colors that are typical of steampunk....so I opted for a non-traditional mix of colors.  I used three distress inks: lime, cranberry, and purple.

Mechanical Bird Card

Blank Page Muse Stamps:

Birds & Clocks Rubber Stamp Set
Cogs & Gears Steampunk Background Rubber Stamp
Metal Screw profile view Art Rubber Stamp

Supplies:

• Black ink pad
• Distress Ink Pads (lime, cranberry, purple)
• Spray bottle
• Clear mounting block
• Silver ink
• Black marker
• Brads

Directions:
1. Gently swipe a distress ink pad across a non-stick craft mat and then lightly spray with water until small beads form. Place a piece of white cardstock onto the wet ink and wipe it through the ink until all the puddles have absorbed.  Continue to add different colors of ink + mist to create the background.  Repeat the process until you have covered the whole bit of cardstock.

2.  Apply black ink the gear stamp and press it over the background of blended inks.

3.  Use a sponge applicator to add more ink as needed.  (I darkened the purple and added more lime.)

4.Stamp a bird image with black ink and color in using lime distress ink.  Stamp a screw with black ink and carefully cut out both shapes.

5.  Adhere the stamped background to a cranberry card base.  Apply the bird and screw to the lower right corner.

6. Use silver ink to stamp multiple clusters of small hexagon shapes.  Finally, add brads to the center of some of the gears.
