Steampunk Sunflower Card & Tag

Hello BPM Fans!

As I was driving home from the grocery store yesterday, I took a different route home and spotted several rows of sunflowers in front of a house. These flowers were at least 7 or 8 feet tall and I had to stop to admire them. 

That inspired me to make this sunflower steampunk card. I hope it inspires you too to play along in this month's challenge theme, Steampunk.

"Steampunk is Victorian Science Fiction"

Hi BPM Fans

How are you all enjoying this month of Steampunk inspiration?
I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I really love the concept and the fab images that are around!

For my creation today I've gone more "traditional" steampunk as opposed to my post earlier this month with the Creepy Cute Kids turned into Steampunk characters!
I've created a large tag which could also be used as a bookmark!

Hope you can play along and link up your Steampunk creations to our current challenge!

I love this quote by G.D. Falksen:

"Steampunk is Victorian Science Fiction"

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamps: Vintage Steampunk Gentleman with Wings
Blank Page Muse Stamps: Steampunk Circus Set 

Plain Kraft Tag
Kraft Card
Chalk Paints
Black Ink Pad
Embellishments
General supplies: scissors, glue, double sided tape, spatula

Instructions:

Stamp your main steampunk image and sentiment onto kraft card and fussy cut.

Use your spatula and chalk paints and swipe over tag. Allow to dry.

Use stamps from the Circus Set and stamp directly onto tag background with black ink.

Arrange main stamped images and any embellishments onto tag and adhere. Add some string or fibres to the tag top. This technique works for cards, ATC's etc so have fun!

Thanks for joining me today!

And remember there is still time to play along with our challenge this month!

Happy Steamy Stamping!

Vintage Couple on a Steampunk Stroll

Greetings, Chris here and today I am excited to share this art-sy page I created to play with this month's Steampunk challenge at Blank Page Muse. My vision was to imitate  a romantic looking "art" piece except using steampunk images, all while playing with my new watercolor markers. 

This project features

Blank Page Muse Up Up and Away Steampunk Airships Balloons Wings Art Rubber Stamp Set

Blank Page Muse Octopus Time! Steampunk Art Rubber Stamp Set

Blank Page Muse Vintage Steampunk Gentleman with Wings Line Art Rubber Stamp

Blank Page Muse Zebra towing an Airship Steampunk Art Rubber Stamp

Other supplies need to re-create this project:

Mixed media paper, card stock, alcohol markers, water brush, archival ink

• Stamp images onto mixed media paper with archival ink.
  I chose mixed media paper (instead of watercolor papers) for this project because the images have fine detail that tends to get muddied when stamping on textured watercolor paper. 
• When stamping the Blank Page Muse Zebra towing an Airship Steampunk Art Rubber Stamp,    I masked off the zebra because I wasn't sure where my horizon line was going to end up. 

• Using watercolor markers, draw in your "lane".  I did end up expanding my lane to the horizon. 

• Draw in hills and add ink to grassy areas. Blend with a water brush. 

• You can see the blended finished look.  

• Color in your couple as desired. 

• Color in and blend you sky and flying vehicles.
  Add dots of red ink and soften by dabbing with a waterbrush to imitate the look of field of flowers. 

I hope you are inspired to get creative with you stamps!

Celebrate Today Card

Hi everyone! It's me, Tonya and I am here to share a quick and easy card I create using the Aster Creepy Cute Kid and Life is Short Rubber Stamps and leftover scraps from previous projects. 

I started by cutting and folding a piece of kraft cardstock, 4 1/4"x5" to create the base for the card. I layered and adhered scraps of patterned cardstock to the base. From my stash of diecuts I glued on top of each other added Foam Pop Dots to the back before placing on the card.

I printed from my computer the "celebrate today" sentiment. I cut out a banner, adhered the sentiment on top and added to the card.  I stamped the Aster Creepy Cute Kid and Life is Short Rubber Stamps onto a piece of watercolor paper. I watercolored, used colored pencils on the girl and fussy cut the girl out. I cut a party hat from a piece of scrap cardstock, adhered to the stamped image along with trim and a sequin to the hat. I also added googly eyes and mini gems to the eyes and the dress before adding foam pop dots and placing on the card.

I finished the card by gluing several thread bows to the underside of the diecut. As always if you have any questions about this project please let me know. If you aren't following Blank Page Muse on their social medias you can find them at the links below.

Steampunk Halloween

Hello Blank Page Muse Fans!

This is my first blog post as a new Design Team Member for BPM. I am so excited to be part of the team and to share my creations using BPM stamps and other products!

Halloween is just around the corner and with the current pandemic, there won’t be too many parties this year. Wouldn’t your friends just love to get a Halloween card from you? Today I am sharing my Happy Halloween steampunk card. This card is perfect for either a male or female friend. I hope this inspires you to join our monthly challenge theme, "Steampunk."

Supplies:

• Blank Page Muse Stamp: Fall Collection 2 Rubber Stamp Sheet Set by Pamela Bray Designs or single Pumpkin stamp.
• Distress Inks
• Cardstock and patterned papers
• Alcohol markers or markers of choice
• Gear and Bat die cuts
• Foam squares or dots
• Black Twine
• Halloween charm
• Wink of Stella (clear)

Instructions:

Start by stamping and coloring your pumpkin stamp. I used a stamp positioner and lined the bottom with a piece of craft foam instead of gluing the foam on my stamp. I put a piece of cardstock on the foam to keep the foam clean.

*Place some washi tape on the back of the stamp to adhere it to the cover of the stamp positioner. Most stamp positioners use magnets to hold your paper in place while stamping. By sandwiching them in painters tape, makes for easy placement of the magnets as needed.

Used distress inks to color a piece of white cardstock before cutting out the gears. 

I am using my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the gears, but you can use metal dies or a hand punch.  

Next, cut out two more gears, bigger than the others. 

Then color them in with your distress inks. 

Cut out the cardstock and patterned paper to fit on a 6” x 6” card.

  My patterned paper already had a sentiment, but you can stamp or write your own. 

Adhere everything to the card with liquid glue and use foam squares to add dimension to the pumpkin. Add a fun charm with a bit of twine.

 

I took the extra gears and I glued them to the inside of the card along with a strip of 

patterned paper. 

Lastly, I added some bats I found in my craft stash to the card and I accented all the gears with a little bit of glitter from the Wink of Stella. 

I hope this card inspires you to make a steampunk card and enter this month’s challenge! Thank you for visiting!  

Betty

Steampunk, before it became the full-blown sub-culture it is today, started out as a science-fiction sub-genre in the 1970s.
