Blank Page Muse Blog: Llama

Wednesday, July 3, 2019

Hello Llama!

Our DT Member Sharon has created these fabulous decorated envelopes which are perfect for you to use in your crafty swaps or regular snail mail letters!
Who doesn't love to receive a colorful stamped envelope in the mail? Especially when envelopes are so quick and easy to "adorn" there is no excuse for sending boring snail mail ever again!

Sharon used blobs of paint and an old gift card to cover the envelope background then embossing ink and black embossing powder to stamp the images.
She used stamps from the Happy Day Llama Set by Pam Bray on the long envelope and a little flower from the Petals and Flowers Set by Michelle Frae Cummings.

The great thing about decorating envelopes is you can use any of your Blank Page Muse Stamps!!!

We hope you feel inspired to have a go!

"Seasons Greetings" Tags

Seasons Greetings to Everyone

Today I have some really quick make tags for you if you are running late with getting organised for Xmas!

If you pop to my Blog Post here from 29th November you can see how the backgrounds were made as I have used the same technique!!

Here's a quick run down for you:

Start with some clothing tags - I've used some nice thick card tags - a perfect size and nice and sturdy! Also grab some paper towel that has been used for "mopping up" ink sprays as per my blog post link above!

Cover the tags with the ink sprayed paper towel and add a piece of kraft paper to the back of each tag - this covers the overlap edges of the paper towel and gives you and area to write you greeting!

Add the gesso with a spatula through your stencil - see the blog post link above. Allow to dry.

I love using non traditional stamps for Xmas themes so yet again I've used the "Llama" by Pam Bray CLICK HERE to find this stamp in store. Stamp with black archival ink onto kraft coloured paper along with the "Seasons Greetings" stamp CLICK HERE for the store link. Fussy cut the Llama and tear out the sentiment.

Add the Llama, some muslin cloth, paper flowers and the sentiment to the tag base along with some string tied through the hole at the top and your tags are finished!
