Little Boy Imagination - Colorful Crowns and Pet Dragons

Greetings Chris here and I am excited to share this imaginative card I created using Blank Page Muse Stamps and stencils.  

I used the Crown Stencil to create a resist background.  When I added the watercolor mists, they bled into my watercolor paper softening all the crown edges!  When I looked at the crowns they reminded me of "crown" clouds and of a little boy sitting back and dreaming that each cloud looked like a crown and imagining himself as king!  and just like that I decided to add the pet dragon on a leash!   what little boy (or girl) doesn't dream of having a pet dragon on a leash????

BLANK PAGE MUSE SUPPLIES

Crown Stencil

Anime Fairies & Baby Dragons Fantasy Art Rubber Stamp Sheet Set

Other Supplies

Watercolor Paper

Mixed Media Gloss

Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists 

Ink

Alcohol Markers

Chipboard Paper Doll

Sentiment Stickers

thread

Adhesive

Start by securing your stencil onto watercolor paper.

 Layer stencil with Mixed Media Gloss and let dry.  Any inks you add now should wipe right off the crowns.

Mist the background with Glimmer Mists.

You can see that the crowns show up really well.   Because I used the watercolor paper, some of the mists bled under the edges and softened the edges.  Once your background is dry, mat onto card stock and adhere to Card. 

Stamp baby dragon from Anime Fairies & Baby Dragons Fantasy Art Rubber Stamp Sheet Set .   Fussy cut dragon.  Color dragon as desired.

 Add dragon to background.  Add you little boy (or girl) and leash.  Add sentiment to finish you card!

A Fairy Magical Bookmark!

Hello!  Susie on the blog today with a "Magical" bookmark!

"Once upon a time..." is a phrase that brings back so many happy memories.  I remember the Christmas my parents gave me my first real book - a huge collection of fairy tales.  This was a book that was heavy on words and light on illustrations so my imagination was instantly engaged.  That was (and still is) a book that deserves a very special bookmark!

Time to play...

Supplies:
Blank Page Muse Anime Fairies & Baby Dragons Fantasy Art Rubber Stamp Sheet Set SC62
Fabric Tag
Archival Black Ink
Walnut Hollow Colored Pencils - Jasmine, Pink Rose, Green, Celadon Green, Deco Blue
Stickles - Lavender, Icicle, Lime Green
Clearsnap ColorBox Blends - Pansy
Seam binding
Stamping platform

Directions:
Select desired fairy stamp from set and position in stamping platform with sentiment stamp.

Tie seam binding onto top of bookmark.

Enjoy the sparkle and shine of your "magical" fairy creation!

DIY Party Games

Hello!  Susie on the blog today with a DIY twist on a traditional party game!

Most of us have played "pin the tail on the donkey" in our lifetimes, right?  It's a simple party game that is fun for all ages.    I remember a fairy themed party I had for my daughter when she was in 1st grade and we adapted that game to "put a flower in the fairy's hair" with a store bought poster.  I have re-created the game for you today using a really cute winking fairy from one of the Anime Fairy rubber stamp sets!

Time to play...

Supplies:
Blank Page Muse Winking Fairy Fantasy Art Rubber Stamp 
Blank Page Muse Flower from the Scribble & Scratch Mixed MediaSet 2
Projector for tracing
White paper
Black ink
Poster Board
Permanent Black Marker
Acrylic Paints - Skin tone, Bright Green, Purple, White, Blue
ColorBox Blends 2 - Melon, Sunshine, Pansy, Tutu, Stop, Wildberry
Therm O Web Zots
Scissors

Directions:
Begin by stamping the image of your choice onto white cardstock with black ink.

Project stamped image onto a poster board.

Using a pencil, trace the image onto the poster board.

Using a permanent black marker, trace over the pencil lines being careful not to smear your work as  you go.  Color as desired using acrylic paints.

Stamp flower image onto cardstock multiple times.  Make each flower a different color then trim them out with scissors.  (Option:  Allow party guests to color their own flowers)

Add an adhesive dot to the back of each flower.

Using a permanent black marker, place a small "x" on the fairy poster to mark the target spot for the party-goers.

Follow the rules for "pin the tail on the donkey" and have fun!

A lot of birthday parties these days seem to have themes so be sure to check out your rubber stamps to help decorate and plan for fun.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to play today!

Shrink Plastic Embellishments

Hello!  Susie here with a quick idea to add a little dimension to your crafting - literally!

Not all card makers or scrapbookers like to add dimension to their projects, but I do.  I also like to get the most out of my craft supplies so when I find a way to do both using my rubber stamps you can bet I am going to go for it!

Time to play...

Supplies:
Blank Page Muse: Anime Fairies and Baby Dragons Fantasy Art Rubber Stamp Sheet Set
Archival Black Ink
Stamping platform
Shrink plastic
Scissors
Hole Punch
Markers
Misc beads and findings

Directions:
Begin by stamping fairies and dragons onto shrink plastic using Archival black ink. When the ink is dry, trim out the shapes and punch holes as desired.

Color images on the reverse side of the shrink plastic with markers or colored pencils - follow directions provided with your shrink plastic.

Bake according to directions.

If desired, string together with beads to create fun dangles for craft projects or to wear as jewelry.

I find it so relaxing to make these charms. It is perfect to do while sitting in front of the TV.  I stamp out lots of images and then take my time coloring and trimming them out.  I bake them up when I have a big batch.  I love having them at my fingertips when I am looking for a little accent piece!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to play today!

Galaxy Love Tag

Hello all Cathy here with a Galaxy Love Tag.

 This was such a fun tag to make. It really does look like a galaxy!

Stamps used:

  Faded page text 

  Anime Faeries and Baby Dragons Fantasy set

Other Supplies:
Tag
Assorted colored inks
White acrylic paint
Pink and white pad
Pink cardstock
Heart die or punch
Holographic twine
               
                     
Start out by die cutting some hearts from pink cardstock or if you have a large punch it would work.  I used 2 different size heart dies for this.

 Stamp the hearts with  Faded page text by Terri Sproul and with pink ink. Edge them with the same pink ink. Set aside.

 Now we are going to start to make our galaxy tag. I used a pink, purple, 2 blues and a yellow to make the colors for the galaxy.

 This is what it looks like when you are done adding color.  After you are happy of how the colors look, then you can start  blending some black around the colors to create the galaxy.

Next add splatters of white paint and begin stamping the star with white paint, randomly around the tag.

 Adhere the couple to the side of the tag along with the hearts we made earlier. Use the holographic twine to make them look like they are suspended.

I hope you enjoyed this galaxy love tag.
