Clean and Simple Card~Friendship~Kindness~Gratitude

Hello! Welcome back to the BPM blog. We are glad you are here. The theme this month is on Kindness-Gratitude-Friendship. I created a generic card that can work on any of these themes since I did not add a sentiment.

The Blank Page Muse products that I used on this card are:

I stamped the flower image on watercolor cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I used a stamp positioner so I can restamp the image. Since the watercolor paper I used is textured, I did not get a crisp image on the first stamping. The stamp positioner helps in making sure that I stamp on the same spot.

I heat set the flowers to dry it before applying ink.

I colored the flowers using watercolor markers. I only applied the pigment on the inside end of the petals.

I used a waterbrush to spread the pigment to the tips of the petals.

I used another color for the stamen.

I dried the ink with a heat gun.

I fussy cut the flowers.

I die cut stems on green cardstock. I adhered the stem to the flower.

I adhered the flowers to the card front of an A2 white note card. I positioned the leaf stencil and blended ink to add leaves to the stems. I masked any open areas that I don't need to apply ink on.

I was going to ground the stems but decided against it. I like the white space. How about you?

Keeping this card without a sentiment allows me to customize it later on or just leave it like this.

I hope you like today's project.

Love is a Burning Desire

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 a beautiful and heartfelt card for someone special. Let's Dive in!

To create this project, you will need the following:

Stamps

Dogwood Flower on Stem stamp
Love is a Burning Desire stamp
Heart-shaped stencil (I used one from my stash)

Paper

(1) Black Cardstock - 4.25" x 5.5"
(1) White Cardstock - 4.25" x 5.5"
(1) White A2 card base

Tools and Consumables

Sticky mat (optional but very useful to hold work in place without using tape)
Scissors
Liquid glue
Paper Trimmer
Die-cut machine
Border die (I chose one from my stash)
Black Ink
Red ink (Shade or your choosing)
Ink-blending brush
Clear block

Process:

Secure the white cardstock to the sticky mat.
Secure the heart-shaped stencil over the cardstock.
Use the red ink and the ink-blending brush to fill in the stencil to your desired hue. I choose to make areas a little darker than others for additional interest.
DO NOT remove the stencil; it will act as a mask.
Adhere the Dogwood stamp to the clear block with low-tack adhesive.
Ink the stamp with the black ink and then stamp the image onto the heart, making sure to leave enough room for the sentiment.
Repeat for the other side of the heart if desired.
Remove the stencil.
Adhere the Love is a Burning Desire stamp to the clear block with low-tack adhesive.
Ink the stamp with the black ink and then stamp the image onto the heart.
Use the die-cutting machine and border die to cut the heart panel to its final dimensions. I wanted just a slight reveal, so the one I used took 1/8th inch off all sides.
Secure the background panel to the black cardstock with liquid glue.
Adhere the completed panel to the A2 card base with liquid glue.

The stamps I used can be found by following the links in the materials list, or you can find them with a quick search on www.blankpagemuse.com. Visit our social media sites for more stamping fun!

Merry Christmas-Lori

It's almost that time again! The first snow has fallen, the turkey is about to be eaten, and people everywhere are getting ready for a visit from the jolly ol' elf himself! Today's card, has a blustery backdrop to Santa on his way from the North Pole.

I started with an A2 panel of white cardstock. I inked it, from light to dark, using Altenew ink pads. Ink blending can be a workout, but if you use a larger brush, you cover more area and it goes more quickly.

I took the Butterfly Trails Circle Pattern Stencil and placed it on my panel, I pounced white pigment ink through it several times until it stayed white.

The stencil is thin, so I had to apply it twice, side-by-side. I then drew in snow flakes with a white acrylic paint pen. Then stamped Merry Christmas from Steampunk'd Christmas Holiday stamp set.

After completing my snow storm background, I stamped Santa from Steampunk'd Christmas Holiday stamp set in Memento because I'm going to use my alcohol markers. I cut around the Santa with a postage die from my stash.

I colored the Santa and added a postmark from the same stamp set.

Final card. I popped up the postage area with foam tape.

I'm thankful for you by Cathy N

Good morning, Cathy here with a fun card for you.

Stamps from I brake for stamps

For the birds stamp set

* Start out with cream cardstock. Stamp large bird postage stamp. Use distress inks to make the background. Cut out and use a small hand circle punch to make it look like a postage stamp.

* Take another piece of cream cardstock and make the background with the same distress inks as you did the large bird postage stamp. Stamp the bird feather in a dark brown distress ink. Edge the card with the same distress ink.

* Add some jute around the stamp and some foam tape and add it to the middle of the card.

* Take a brown card base and the stamped card pieces to the center. Add a saying to the bottom of the card.

Repeated Stamping to Create a Background~Friendship-Kindness-Gratitude

Hello! Welcome back to the BPM blog as the DT continues to celebrate Friendship/Kindness/Gratitude this month.

I used the Blank Page Muse Kindness Changes Everything stamp set on my card.

I adhered the stamp to an acrylic block. My stamp is mounted on a cling foam so I did not have to use any adhesive. You can purchase this stamp mounted with an additional fee.

I inked the stamp with a red interference ink.

I stamped the image on a white cardstock.

I repeatedly stamped the flower to fill the panel and create a background.

I prepped a wine colored cardstock with anti-static powder.

I inked the sentiment stamp with white pigment ink.

I stamped the sentiment on the cardstock.

I poured white embossing powder to the inked sentiment. I heat set this to melt the embossing powder. I usually start heating on the back before moving to the front.

As you can see on the photo, I have two stamped sentiments on the cardstock. I did not do a good impression on the first one, so I stamped the sentiment again. I still have some imperfections on my second stamped sentiment. I filled the gaps with a white gel pen.

One of things I do to save on cardstock is instead of using a full panel for a matte, I die cut this into a frame so I can use the negative cut for something else. I used the extra to die cut the sentiment. I trimmed the white stampd cardstock at 5 1/4" x 4".

I trimmed the sentiment into a strip and adhered this to the panel. I adhered the die cut sentiment below the sentiment strip. I added details to the die cut sentiment with a white gel pen.

I hope you like today's project.
