More Stencil Butters & Projects

 Hello again from design team member, Heidi!

I am making more projects with the Stencil Butters that are available in the Blank Page Muse store.  Part of this post will be me playing around with them and then I will use a couple of the backgrounds for projects.  

The first thing I did was to stencil over some of the Pam Bray patterned papers.  These papers are definitely thick enough to stand up to the stencil paste.  I really liked the nice opaque coverage. 

I then stenciled some of the apricot colored paste of the paper bag my order came in.  I messed up and a bunch got under the edge of the stencil.  So I went over it again with a metallic gold paste.  This one looks really cool in person and I plan to use it!

As I was going along, I randomly was using some excess paste onto scrap paper (this is the back of an order sheet, so just regular copy paper).  It was looking like this in the end, so I decided to thin out some of the red paste and just paint over the top. (This is one of the neat things about the paste, you can watercolor with it!) I wiped the excess off with a wipe and the parts that were dry resisted the paint and I think this is the coolest background.  You can see the result in the finished piece below.

The top piece is a home décor item that I finished using Ephemera from Pam Bray’s Masquerade line. 

The stamps for the finished card are from the Woodland Stamp set and Petals and Flowers stamp set, both in the Blank Page Muse shop.

I hope this gave you and idea of some different ways to use your stencil butters!  I will be back with more ideas another day.  Right now, I ‘d better go clean off my craft desk!  Have a great day!

Petals & Flowers

 Hello from design team member, Heidi!  

I love this stamp set with what my mom would call the “pieces-parts” of flowers.  They are so fun to mix and match.  I have to tell you, I sat down to make a spring garden-style card, but what I ended up making was a sort of rich fall color medallion!  
Oh well, that is how creativity seems to work!

My background was made with distress oxide inks for the base shade, and then I pulled a print from my gelli plate over an old stencil.  

Over top, I stamped directly with the large flower outline, and then used foam tape to built up the flower center.  I kind of went crazy with the glitter glue in gold and iridescent glitters.  I don’t use glitter often but I do like glitter glue since it stays put!

The stamps can be found in the Blank Page Muse or I Brake for Stamps stores.  I will link them below.

Peek-a-Boo Owl Note Cards

Hi everyone! Michelle here with a super cute card I actually made up quite by accident! 

I was playing around with a flower-frame stamp and started reminiscing of a old TV game show I used to watch called Hollywood Squares. Remember that show?

 With all our favorite celebrities too! Funny right?

Well that's how this'peek-a-boo' card came about, so I hope you will enjoy my tutorial. :)

Supplies used:

Owls, Nothing But Owls Stamp Set

Petals and Flowers Stamp Set

Blank Card

White card stock scrap

Stamping ink pad

Colored markers

Scissors

1.  Ink and stamp this stamp (from the Petals and Flowers-set)  all over the front of your card.

2.  Stamp onto the scrap paper and cut out just the center of the design. This will create a 'mask'.

3.  Align the mask over each of the flowers, then stamp your "owl" every which way and that. 

Lift 'mask' to reveal your peek-a-boo-owl!

 4.  Upside down, right side up,side ways, ears first, feet first... Have fun with it!

 5.  Color in as shown. Add some dots to the background if desired.

I'm pretty sure once you get started, you wont be able to stop making some of these

'Peek-a-Boo' Owl Note Cards!

They are just so dang cute!

Mixed Media Amethyst Druzy Tag WIP Oct 25

Want to learn how to create this sparkling Druzy effect?

 Check out the tutorial  below.

The Blank Page Muse Phoebe Art Doll Stamps 

The Blank Page Muse Flowers and Petals 

Stencil mask

Modeling paste

Card

Ink pads

Mist sprays

Crackle glaze

Glitter

Gems

Spray a blank tag with purple mist sprays, then use a variety of purple colored inks to stamp randomly around the tag. 

Apply the modeling paste with a stencil and leave to dry.

Stamp out the flowers on to scrap card that has been sprayed over with mist sprays. 

Cut them out and apply some glue to the centers of the larger flowers. 

Sprinkle still wet glue with glitter, then seal with crackle glaze. 

This will take a few hours to set before you can add them to the tag.

Add burlap and a die-cut background to the center of the tag. 

I buy white burlap and either paint or ink it to match the color scheme. 

Decorate with gems and sequins.

Once the crackle glaze has set, a faux druzy effect will appear..
