Sweet Scented Flowers!

Hi BPM Fans!!!

You know Xmas is coming so I have a quick gift idea to share with you today - super simple and only a few supplies required!!

Hope you feel inspired to have a go - I always love decorating soaps and using them as gifts!

One of the best things is you can use any stamps, card and coloured embossing powder for this project!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamp: Whimsical Daisy by Pam Bray Designs

Oatmeal Coloured Card

Embossing Ink Pad

Black Embossing Powder

Heat Gun

Handmade Soaps

Scissors, double sided tape, string, ruler, cutter

Instructions:

Start with your card, stamp and embossing supplies. Randomly stamp over the card with your stamp, cover with embossing powder and heat set.

Cut the embossed card into strips slightly smaller than your soap as shown below so when you wrap the soap you can still get the colour contrast as well as the embossed strip. Use string or fibres of your choice to tie a basic knot or bow around your soap. You may want to use double sided tape to secure the embossed card before tying the string.



Make several at a time so you can have a set to use as a gift! Quick and easy but a really great way to be creative with your gift giving. Make some spooky Halloween themed ones for the Trick or Treaters!

 

Thanks for joining me today!

Happy Stamping!!

Sharon

Romance Candle...

We have a great romantic creation to share today made by our DT member Sharon - a fun altered candle which is so quick and  easy but makes a perfect gift for any occasion.

Sharon has used one of the flower stamps from one of the new stamp sets by Pam Bray Designs "Scribble Hearts & Elements".

This technique is so easy with limited supplies required.

All you need is a plain colored candle, tissue paper stamped with colored ink and a heat tool!

Simple stamp the images you want to use, tear out from the tissue paper, place over the candle and use the heat tool to "melt" the tissue into the candle.

Finish off by tying a bow of sheer ribbon around the candle and you have a lovely gift!

Starry Scented Soap Gifts!

Hi Blank Page Muse Fans!

Hope everyone is enjoying all of our wonderful and fun Xmas ideas here at the blog!

I'm really a bit "Bah Humbug" about Xmas but I did enjoy creating these little soap gifts to share with you! They are nice and quick and make a great last minute gift idea!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamps:

Whimsical Happy Smiling Stars by Rick St Dennis

Natural Soaps

Corrugated Card (metallic/shimmer used here)

Raffia and string

Scraps of White Card

Ink Sprays

Black Archival Ink

Fancy Safety Pins

Scissors

Instructions:

Gather your bits & pieces to get started.

Cut your corrugated card to size to wrap around the soaps - the ends stay exposed so you can see the soap colours.

Use various coloured strings and raffia to tie around the soap and card. Set aside while you do your stamping.

Spray your scrap white card with ink sprays in co-ordinating colours and allow to dry.



Use the Black Archival ink to stamp the Stars onto the ink sprayed card and fussy cut.

Use some fancy safety pins in co-ordinating colours to attaché the stars to the raffia bows.

You now have some cute and fun and quick little gifts to give for Xmas! Perfect for last minute creating as they are nice and quick!
