Happy Halloween

Do you decorate for Halloween? I love Halloween. October has to be one of my favorite months of the year!  Today I took several of the tags from the Creepy Cute Halloween Digital Papers Printables and made them into a card that could also be Halloween decor. The accordion of tags will fold flat for mailing; it may need additional postage. 

This project is a combination of Blank Page Muse Creepy Cute Halloween digital papers, a few Halloween Stamps and some dies from my stash.

First stamp the sentiments and images you want to use on the tags with black ink. Fussy cut the number of tags desired for the project. The tags above do not have any of the dies added. The tags below have Halloween dies added to them.

Add random Halloween dies to the tags to add dimension. Off the top of the tag with the flying witch add a yellow moon. This made the two center tags about the same height.

Edge the tags and sentiments with a Wide tip black Sharpie or Acrylic marker

Create the base

• For the base cut black paper 2 1/2 inches by however long it will need to be to mount all of the tags.
• Lay all the tags on the black paper leaving an equal gap between each tag.
• Adhere the tags to the black paper.
• In between each tag score the black paper.
• Fold the score lines creating an accordion fold.

Adhere the sentiments to the tags as pictured

Staple ribbons to the four tags without anything at the top.  

I just love how this little Halloween accordion turned out. Hope it inspires you to print out this great digi collection.

Wishing you a Happy Birthday

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 crafting this stunning birthday card featuring a cluster of vibrant crocuses! This project showcases the beauty of these elegant flowers, brought to life with rich purples and soft accents. The hand-stamped design, framed by a delicate wire-like border, adds a touch of whimsy and charm, making it a perfect handmade gift to celebrate any special birthday. Let’s dive into the steps to recreate this floral masterpiece!

To create this project, you will need the following:

Stamps

• Special Day CLEAR Sentiments Birthday Stamp Set 
• Flower & Bird Sketches Art Rubber Stamp

 Paper

• (1) Watercolor paper panel - 4.25" x 5.5"
• (1) White A2 Card base - 4.25" x 5.5"

Watercolors

• Watercolor pigments (brand of your choice, mine is an older Altenew set)

Inks

• Black ink

Tools

• Sticky mat (optional but very useful to hold work in place without using tape) 
• Scissors
• Liquid glue
• Paper Trimmer
• Lable die(s) of choice (I chose a sticthed edge die to frame the image)
• Die-cut machine
• Stamping tool (I use a Misti)
• Anti-static bag
• Gold embossing powder 
• Heat tool
• Flat-backed pearls
• Double-sided adhesive - Low tack
• Watercolor paint brushes
• Paper towels
• Cup of clean water  

Process: 

Place the watercolor panel on the stamping platform and secure it with the stamping tool.

• Attach the Crocus stamp to the stamping platform, centered over the panel, using double-sided tape if needed.
• Dust the watercolor panel with an anti-static bag to prevent stray embossing powder.
• Ink the Crocus stamp with watermark ink and stamp the image onto the panel with even pressure, repeating 1–2 times for complete coverage.
• Remove the panel from the stamping platform, sprinkle Gold embossing powder over the stamped image, and use a heat tool to emboss, creating “wells” for pigment.
• Secure the panel to a work surface (e.g., an old wooden clipboard) for painting.
• Moisten watercolor pigments with a paintbrush and water to activate them.
• Use a clean paintbrush to apply the lightest watercolor pigment to the desired areas of the embossed image, starting with light colors, and let it dry completely.
• (Optional) Place the dried panel back in the stamping platform, secure an oval border stamp, ink it with black ink, and stamp the border, repeating if needed for clarity.
• Remove the border stamp, position a sentiment stamp, ink it with black ink, and stamp the sentiment, re-inking and re-stamping if necessary.
• Remove the panel from the stamping platform, secure it to the work surface, and apply a background color (e.g., soft blue) with watercolor pigment, then let it dry completely.
• Adhere the completed panel to a card base using liquid glue.
