Body Positive Mermaid Memorydex Card

Hello, hello! Samantha here again sharing a fun project with you all today. I am in love with the mermaid stamp from the Kai Lana & Friends Mermaid Jellyfish Starfish Art Rubbers stamp set by Stephanie Eaton. She's unlike any mermaid stamp I've ever seen. Typically mermaid stamps feature slender, slim mermaids. It's so refreshing to see a beautiful, full figured mermaid and I wanted to create something expressing that.

I created a MemoryDex card with my MemoryDex punch that measures 4" wide by 4.5" tall. I stamped and masked the mermaid twice, both times off the edge of the card.

Using clear embossing ink I then stamped the Waterdrops Background Rubber Stamp stamp over the MemoryDex card and heat set it using silver embossing powder.

I did very basic ink blending over the embossing with shades of blue. Before I removed the masks and colored the mermaids in with alcohol ink markers I added some small drops of water to the blue ink blended background.

I added a small chipboard sun of which I covered the center in blue glitter. I created a sentiment with my label maker that reads "Every body is a beach body".

That's all! Thank you very much for stopping by to check out my body positive Mermaid MemoryDex card and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Until next time,
Samantha

Fairy Galaxy Memorydex Card

Hello, hello! Samantha here to share my newest project with you; a fairy galaxy MemoryDex card. What is a MemoryDex card you ask? Well, it's kind of like a Rolodex card except bigger and better. Today I'm going to be using a punch to create the notches in mine but if you don't have a punch or a die there are many tutorials over on YouTube that show you how to make the notches by hand.

Remember to use code BPMDtSamantha2019 to save 15% off of your next order!

For this project you will need the following supplies:

A MemoryDex card punch, die, or some other way to create the notches
The Fairy Poem Sentiment Word Art stamp
The Fairy Sitting Fantasy Art Rubber stamp
A piece of white cardstock measuring 4" x 4"
Inks for blending; yellow, teal, purple, and red violet (I used Distress Oxides in Mustard Seed, Peacock Feathers, Dusty Concord, and Seedless Preserves)
White and Black paint
An old toothbrush
A coloring medium of your choice (I used Spectrum Noir markers)
Black pigment ink
Clear embossing powder
Clear shimmer brush

Stamp and color the fairy. Use your clear shimmer brush on her wings. Fussy cut her out and set aside.

Now we're going to make our galaxy. First apply your yellow ink.

Then your teal ink.

Followed by your red violet ink.

Finish with your purple ink.

If you used Distress Oxide inks spritz your card with water and let dry. Use your preferred method to create the notches in the bottom of your Memorydex card. Round the corners.

Squirt a bit of white paint onto your toothbrush. Rub your thumb across the bristles to get the paint to splatter on your card.

Repeat with your black paint.
Stamp your sentiment in black pigment ink and heat set with clear embossing powder. Adhere your fairy.

That's all for today. I hope that this will inspire you to create something new with your Blank Page Muse stamps. Be sure to head on over to the BPM Facebook fan group and tell us if you've ever made a MemoryDex card before.

Until next time,

Samantha
