Mini Stamps Big Impact

Hi Chris here today sharing this cute Easter tag using the mini stamp from the Anime Fairies 2 Stamp set.  

Supplies needed to create this tag:

Manilla Tag

Sin City Stencil Template #20

Tim Holtz Distress Inks -Old Paper, Walnut Ink

Tim Holtz Distress Markers- Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, Pickled Raspberry, Shaded Lilac, Stormy Sky

Embossing Folder-Darice

Sizzix Die- bunny

Vellum

Staz-on Ink

Copic Markers - B24, Y15, YR04, R04, V06

Scenic Route Stickers

Ribbon

Liquid Pearls

I started by inking over the Stencil #20 template using the Old Paper Distress ink.

I then embossed the tag with my embossing folder. A little hint, I partially cut along the fold of the embossing folder just enough to allow the tag to slip through the embossing folder.

 Here is the result.

I then stamped some mini flowers on the embossed image using the mini flower stamp from the Anime Fairies 2 collection.  I used the Distress markers to color directly on the stamps .  I stamped the flowers in multiple colors.  I added Liquid Pearls to the center of each flower. 

I then stamped the mini butterfly from this set onto vellum with Staz-on and then colored the back sid of the image with Copic markers. After fussy cutting the butterflies I attached them to the tag. 

I trimmed off the bottom of the tag that was not embossed.  I die cut out the bunny and inked edges of the bunny with Walnut Distress Ink and added the bunny to the bottom of the tag.

I added some ribbon and Baker's twine and matted the tag on card stock to finish off the tag.

 I had so much fun creating this tag I decided to use the same techniques and stamps to create this card.

I sprayed Glimmer Mist all over the tag.  After embossing the tag I "painted" the vines and flowers with distress ink and my water brush.  The butterflies were stamped on cardstock and then punched out with the Martha Stewart butterfly punch.  I  layered the flowers from Petaloo with Fabri-Tac from Beacon Adhesives and added microbeads to the centers of the flowers using Gem Tac from Beacon Adhesives. I hope you are inspired to create some project using mini stamps.

Be Fierce

We recently lost my grandma and I had the pleasure of being by her side at the end of her journey.  Towards the end, she was becoming afraid to be alone, mostly that no one would come when she called.  As I was talking to her, I told her to be fierce like a lion or dragon. ROAR so that they would hear her.  We even practiced roaring together!  I reminded her it was OK for her to ask the staff for things when she needed them! She continued her roar until close to the end. This project is my tribute to her.  Reminding me to fight and speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves!

The Joy of Christmas card

Hi everyone,
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.  I wanted to show you one of the Christmas cards I created this year.  Although Christmas is over, you can use this technique year round.
You don't need a ton of stamps to create a beautiful card.  This lovely  card uses just one stamp.
Blank Page Muse Products used:
Holly and Branches Stamp

Other Products Used:
Distress Markers
Distress Ink- Pumice Stone
Emerald Creek Embossing Powder in Charred Gold
Tim Holtz Holiday Words Script Die and Funky Festive
Chipboard Doily Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts
Stamp Platform
Circle Punch
Ribbon
Cardstock
Adhesive

Start by trimming your card to the size you want it to be or use a precut card.
Mount your stamp to your stamp platform.  Color the stamp using various markers.

Don't be afraid to layer your colors.  The leaves will all turn out just a tad different and add a more realistic feel to your card.  If the marker dries as you are coloring just breathe on the stamp and it will rehydrate the ink.

Cover the entire piece of the card.  Once the holly is all stamped cover the entire card with a bit of Pumice Stone Distress Ink to age it.  

Mount the base to the card.  Add a bit of ribbon.  

Punch a circle out and color it using a bit of Pumice Stone Distress Ink.  Use the outer ring of the Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Doily and emboss it.  Attach the doily to the circle.  Attach the circle to the card. 

Use the Tim Holtz Script to die cut the word "joy" and adhere it to the center of the circle. 

Add some holly cut from the Festive Funky die set to finish off the corner. 

This will be my final monthly post for Blank Page Muse.  I have so enjoyed my time with the team over the past year.  I absolutely love the product, so this will not be the last you see of me!

Have a wonderful New Year,

Jess

Son of a Witch!

'Tis the season for witches, but let's not forget the Warlocks! This dapper dude just screams Halloween to me.

Blank Page Muse Products Used:
Steampunk Gentleman
Halloween Bingo Board
Oh, Son-of- a-Witch

Other Products Used:
Distress Inks in Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet, Shaded Lilac, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn Crushed Olive, and Black Soot
Distress Oxide Ink in Hickory Smoke
Distress Markers in Mowed Lawn, Dried Marigold, Hickory Smoke, Antique Linen, Dusty Concord, and Mustard Seed
Archival Ink in Jet Black and Coffee
Sizzix Die Tattered Banners
Cardstock
Adhesive
Waterbrush
Sewing Machine

On your craft mat smoosh on the purple shades of ink and run your paper through so the entire surface is covered. Wipe your ink up( wipe ink up between each layer)  Dry the base layer and smoosh more purple on the craft mat to get splats and dots. Dry this layer.

 Smoosh greens on the craft mat and tap the paper into the ink.  Don't rub or you'll get mud.  Dry the greens.

Smoosh on Hickory Smoke Oxide ink and tap the paper into the ink.  Let this layer air dry.  It's important to let the Oxide air dry to get the oxide effect.  Stamp the Halloween Bingo Board on the background using archival ink.  Edge the paper with black soot ink.  Stitch all around the edge of the cardstock.

Cut out the banner and stamp on the Oh, Son-of- a-Witch stamp.  You can alter your stamps by either not inking the word or snipping the saying apart.  For this card the "oh" wasn't used.  Stamp the saying onto the banner.  Adhere the banner to the bottom of the background. 

Stamp the Steampunk Gentleman on heavy watercolor cardstock.  Color in the gentleman using a waterbrush and Distress Markers.  Cut out the gentleman and then ink all the edges with black soot ink.  Glue the Steampunk Gentleman to the background.

The rest of the card is just layered up with various cardstocks.
