Cabin in the Snow

Hello, hello. Samantha here and today I am showing you an idea for getting more use from your Blank Page Muse stamps.

Use code BPMDtSamantha2019 to save 15% off of your next order

I wanted to use the beautiful House with Trees Sketch Style Art Rubber Stamp to create a winter scene but I felt like the trees on either side of the house were a bit too full to bring my vision of a winter wonderland to life.

Determined to make it work I soldiered on, stamping the image to white cardstock and coloring it in; making sure to give the windows a warm glow. While I fussy cut the image out inspiration struck. I chopped the trees out of the image by simply snipping them away with my scissors.

I created a starry night sky on a white cardstock panel using Distress Oxide inks, water, and white paint splatters.

I created my snow filled background and foreground by cutting white cardstock with a hill border die, inking along the edges in a blue ink.

I layered my snowy hills and my cabin onto the ink blended cardstock panel and added the entire thing to a teal, A2 sized card base.

I opted to stamp my sentiment to the inside of the card so as not to detract from the beautiful scene on the front.

For this I used the Let it Snow with Snowflakes Word & Image Art Rubber Stamp and a basic black ink.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Take a look at your BPM stamps and see how, just by altering various elements, you can use them in new and wonderful ways.

Until next time,

Samantha

A Little Birdie Told Me

Hello, hello! Samantha here with another quick and easy card to share with you all today. It's no secret that the bird from the Flower & Bird Sketches Art Rubber Stamp Set is one of my all time favorite stamps. That's why I reach for it as often as I do and I hope that my love for it will inspire you.
Remember to use code BPMDtSamantha2019 to save 15% off of your next order!

For this card I stamped my bird onto white cardstock with black ink. I colored it in using alcohol based markers but decided that it was too dark. So I colored over the marker with crayons! Regular old Crayola crayons.
Next, completely experimenting, I applied odorless mineral spirits over the crayon and it blended. So super cool. I did a bit of stamp surgery to the "A little birdie told me..." Phrase stamp and stamped it below the bird.

I layered the panel to a card base on which I'd adhered a background die. Then I added some feather die cuts to cover a huge boo boo.
Remember that mistakes are really just opportunities for embellishment!

Easy enough, right? Make sure you check out the video I did featuring this gorgeous bird stamp and don't forget to subscribe to the blog!

Until next time,
Samantha

What a Hoot

Hello, hello. Samantha here with a card that's "owl" you'll ever need. I love making open ended cards that can be used for any occasion and that is what inspired this one.

For this project you will need the following:

• The Whimsical Owl Pair Sitting on a Branch Line Art Rubber Stamp by Rick St Dennis
• The letter stamp from the Correspondence Pens, Ink, and Postage Art Rubber Stamp Set by Katy Leitch
• White cardstock cut to 3.75" x 3.75"
• Black card base measuring 4" x 4"
• Masking paper
• Embossing ink
• Clear embossing powder
• Inks for blending
• Coloring medium of your choice

Stamp your owls to your white cardstock. Cover with masking paper.

Stamp your letter stamp down the length of the white cardstock with black embossing ink. Cover in clear embossing powder and heat set.

Using blending inks of your choice blend over the cardstock. I used Distress Oxide inks in Chipped Sapphire and Faded Jeans. I also added a few droplets of water to the cardstock.

Remove the masking paper and color the owls in with a coloring medium of your choice. Place your craft foam on the back of your cardstock and adhere to your card base.

Optional; add sequins and brush over owls with a clear shimmer pen.

Easy and effective. I hope you will give this a try yourself. Head on over to the Facebook fan page and show us what you were inspired to create.
Until next time,
Samantha

Pumpkin Princess Halloween Wand

Hello, hello! Samantha here with a fun Halloween surprise you can easily make with your favorite ghouls and goblins. Sometimes we want to do something a bit less sugary for Halloween and while this project won't cause cavities it's still pretty sweet.

You will need the following:

• The Create a Pumpkin with Faces and Handprints Halloween Rubber Stamp set
• Cardstock
• Coloring medium of your choice; I used colored pencils and Gamsol
• Black ink
• Tulle
• A paper straw
• Washi tape
• Ribbon
• Hot glue gun

Let's begin. Stamp the pumpkin stamp onto white cardstock and color it in with orange colored pencils. Totally optional but I chose to use a bit of Gamsol to blend my coloring a bit.

Fussy cut your pumpkin and transform it using one of the fun Jack-o'-lantern faces, black pigment ink, and clear embossing powder. Much less messy than actual pumpkin carving!

Trace your jack-o'-lantern onto black cardstock and cut out.

Wrap your tulle loosely between your thumb and forefinger. Cinch tightly in the center. Cut the looped ends.

Glue the center of your tulle to the back of your jack-o'-lantern with hot glue.

Wrap a paper straw in washi tape of your choice and adhere ribbons to the top using hot glue.

Here is a close up photo showing how I glued the ribbons to the straw.

Attach your jack-o'-lantern with hot glue to the top of your paper straw and glue the black cardstock behind it so that the straw is sandwiched in the middle.

That's it! Pretty easy. Head on over to the shop to check out this fun stamp set and don't forget to stop by the Facebook fan group to share your art. You could win a prize!

Until next time,
Happy haunting,
Samantha

Butterflies and Kitties Photo Brag Book

Hello, hello. Samantha here to share my latest project with you; a super cute brag book featuring some of the beautiful butterflies from the Dandelion Wishes with Butterflies Art Rubber Stamp Sheet by Terri Sproul. I love having physical photos and what better way to share them than with a fun and unique brag book?

To create this project I created my brag book and pocket folder. I stamped the butterflies all over the pocket folder.

Then I stamped the butterflies onto white cardstock, fussy cut them out, and used them to decorate the photos of my cats in my brag book.

Thanks so much for stopping by to check out my project. I hope you like it. Make sure you head over to the Blank Page Muse Facebook Fan Group for Fan Art Friday!

Until next time,
Samantha

PMS

Hello, hello! Samantha here with a quick and easy project for you. One of the things I love to make are snarky cards and that is why this PMS stamp was right up my alley.

Let's get started. For this card you will need:

• The PMS: Pretty Mean Stamper Phrase Rubber Stamp
• The Dandelion Bursts Background Nature Art Rubber Stamp by Michelle Frae Cummings
• Shades of blue ink for blending. I used Chipped Sapphire, Faded Jeans, and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks.
• Sticky embossing ink pad
• Gold embossing powder
• Black card base, final size measuring 4" x 5.5"
• White cardstock 
• .25" wide low tack tape for masking

Using your sticky embossing ink pad stamp the Dandelion Bursts stamp onto your white cardstock and heat set with gold embossing powder. Mask along the border using your low tack tape.

Using your blue inks do some basic ink blending on your panel.

Remove the low tack tape. Trim your cardstock so that a .25" border will exist all along the stamping. Finished size will be 3.75" x 5.25". Adhere to your card base.

Using a shade of blue ink stamp the PMS stamp onto white cardstock. Cut into a sentiment strip and glue to the bottom of your card.

Pretty easy, right? I absolutely love this card and I hope it will inspire you. Make sure you head on over to the shop to check out all the great snarky stamps that Blank Page Muse has to offer. How many can you find?

Until next time,
Samantha
