Happy Birthday Quick Idea~ Fun Art Tag by Sharon!

This tag has a great quick background technique using stamps from the Steampunk Circus Set and has been created by DT Member Sharon.

The thing we love about this quick technique is you can use any sentiment stamp you have to create not only tag backgrounds but ATC's, ATcoins and greeting card backgrounds and is perfect for any occasion. Your base card can be painted or inked prior to stamping to add some colour.

Add another feature stamp and some embellishments and you have a quick creation that can be whipped up at the last minute! No need to colour you main image either which makes an even faster creation - just leave black & white or print on kraft card for a different look!

Make a Wish........

Hello Blank Page Muse Stamps Fans!!!

Here we are already into the new year!

Are you enjoying our "Happy Birthday" theme so far this month?

A great theme to start 2020 with lots of inspirational ways to use your BPM Stamps!

I'm particularly excited because January is my birthday month so I've been having a lot of fun creating my blog posts!

Today I am sharing some gift tags using BPM Stamps and some quirky collage elements. I love that these have a rustic and sort of messy feel to them.

Not only do these tags fir perfectly with our challenge theme this month but can also be adapted for Xmas and any other occasion - "Making a Wish" really relates to any occasion and we can always do with a guardian angel!

Hope you enjoy my post today!

Supplies:
Blank Page Muse Stamp: "Make a Wish" from Dandelion Wishes with Butterflies Stamp Set
Blank Page Muse Stamp: "Stars"
Collage Angels: Art Tea Life Collage Sheet used for these Tags
Manila Tags
Chalk Paints
Embossing Ink & Gold Embossing Powder
Black Archival Ink Pad & Scrap White Textured Paper
General: heat gun, scissors, glue, spatula
Extras: Smooch Gold Ink, Scrap muslin or gauze, ribbon or twine

Instructions:

Gather your bits & pieces - grab multiples and make several tags in the one sitting!

Start by painting the tags. Use a spatula to scrape "blobs" of the coloured chalk paints onto the background.  Allow to dry. Note: I love using a spatula because I am too lazy to clean a paintbrush and I love the messy rustic look!

Using the embossing ink pad and star stamp on the tag backgrounds emboss with gold powder. No need to be neat! Use the black archival ink pad to stamp "Make a Wish" onto white paper and tear out.

Edge the tags with gold Smooch and allow to dry. Arrange the collage angels, wording and gauze on the tags and adhere with glue. Tie a piece of ribbon or twine to the tag tops and you are done!

Happy Stamping!

Sharon

Bees and Sunshine

Today our DT Sharon has a really quick and simple tag to share with you that can be adapted to any creation you are making ie. greeting card, artist trading card or coin, journal page.

She started with a blank tag and used decorating chalks through a stencil.
After spray sealing the chalks she added a fun "Bee" stamp by Pam Bray along with a "Sunshine" word stamp from the Sunshine Cherub set!
To finish the tag was edged with a black Posca pen and string tied at the top.

An alternate idea is to stamp onto kraft card and fussy cut the images and adhere to the tag!

A great idea for any BPM stamps you have!

Smile When You Remember........

Hi Blank Page Muse Fans!

I hope you have been enjoying the DT creations so far this month! Always so much creativity and inspiration being shared here at the blog!

Today I am sharing some vintage style tags made with rubber stamps and collage elements!

I love combining rubber stamping with collage - a great way to compliment each other!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamp: Background Roses by Pam Bray

Blank Page Muse Stamp Set: Art Journaling #2 by Terri Sproul - "Remember When" & "Smile"

Blank Page Muse Stamp: Background Grunge Art Sheet by Pam Bray - "Single Rose"

Blank Tags

Collage Characters - used here Art Tea Life Collage Sheet

Ink Sprayed "Mop Up" Paper Towel

Embossing Ink & Gold Embossing Powder

Black Archival Ink & Distress Inks

Gesso

Kraft Paper Scraps

Scraps Muslin Cloth

Cloth Ribbon & Fancy Pin

Tools: heat gun, scissors, glue, sponge, spatula

Instructions:

The first step is to decorate your tag background.



Use a glue stick to cover the front of your tag and adhere the paper towel to the tag. Cut out around the tag leaving a border to fold over and adhere to the back of the tag to give a neat finish to the tag front. Then use a spatula and the Gesso and apply a very thin layer to the tag front. As you can see in the picture above the Gesso helps to tone the colour ready for the next step.

Ink the Rose Background Stamp with embossing ink and stamp onto the tag. Use gold embossing powder and a heat gun to set. the effect of this stamp over the background in gold is beautiful!

Decorate the plain cloth ribbon to add to the top of your tag. Use a sponge and some Distress inks to colour the ribbon and then stamp the Single Rose with Black Archival Ink randomly over the ribbon.

Stamp your wording stamps onto Kraft paper and tear out.

Fussy cut your collage elements and arrange on the tag along with the scrap of muslin cloth and wording stamp and adhere with glue. Attach the printed ribbon to the top with a fancy safety pin.

Hope you have enjoyed my post today!

Always so many ways to use your Blank Page Muse Stamps!

Enjoy!

Sharon
