Christmas Angel ~Christmas in July

 Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today using some amazing stamps from Blank Page Muse.

Stamp: Avie

Stamp and emboss the image in black ink.

Using Copic markers, color the image.

Using dies, die cut around the image and mat with a larger die cut.

Create a 5 1/2" square card from purple cardstock.

Cut black cardstock 5 1/4" square and the pattern paper at 5 1/8" square.

Ink a wood snowflake and add to the left corner and adhere the stamped image on top.

Finish by adding stickles to the stars.

Use the same sized papers inside.

I left the die cut center blank so I could add a personal sentiment once I decide who is getting this card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Steph

Angelic Mermaid Ornament

Hi BPM Fans!!

 It's December and Xmas is looming ever closer!!!

Hope you are enjoying our Quick Makes and Xmas ornaments so far this month!

I'm sharing a stamped fabric ornament - it's a little bit fiddly but so worth the effort when you see the end result!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamp: Kai Lana Mermaid designed by Stephanie Eaton

Scraps Calico Fabric

Brown or Black Ink Pad

Coloured Pencils

Sewing Machine

Stuffing/Hobby Fill

Sparkly flower ornament or puffy wings etc.

Fishing Line

Tools: strong clear glue, scissors, large eye needle, chopstick or poker to push stuffing in! 

Instructions:

Stamp "Kai Lana" onto the calico fabric with the brown ink pad and colour with coloured pencils. Colour to match your Xmas theme!

Layer the stamped coloured fabric piece onto another piece of scrap calico and using your sewing machine sew all around the stamped image (through both layers of fabric) as shown in the photo and trim as shown below.

Next step is to separate the two layers of fabric so you can carefully snip a slit in the back layer. Use this slit to add stuffing and use a chopstick or the like to push into the cavity.

Use your needle and fishing line to make a loop for hanging the ornament.

Use your strong glue to attach the wings. For this project I used the "petals" from some sparkly gold tree ornaments. This step covers the slit in the back of the ornament - saving you from having to sew it up!

Your angelic mermaid is now ready for hanging on your tree! 

Seasons Greetings

Mannequin, Clocks, & Roses Card

Hello BPM Fans,
Today's card has a stamped background, as well as, stamped embellishments.  The background was done simply in black & white. Black & white plus one additional color is a great choice for this style of genre.

The key to creating a layered effect is to use the technique called masking. Masking enables you to achieve the effect of one image behind another. Stamp the same image a second time on scratch paper and cut out. Place the mask over the first stamped image which serves to protect it and then stamp a design overlapping it. Part of the image will be on the mask and when removed, you reveal that one image appears behind the other creating a layered look. Take the plunge and create your own distressed vintage masterpiece.

Blank Page Muse Stamps:

Birds & Clocks Rubber Stamp Set

Mannequin Tags 2 Rubber Stamp Set

Angel Feathered Wings Heart-shaped Art Rubber Stamp


Romantic Rose on Music Art Rubber Stamp


Faded Page Text Words

Other Supplies:

• black ink pad
• pink ink pad
• sponge applicator
• clear mounting block
• paper roses
• gems 
• liquid adhesive
• pearl dimensional paint
• card base 5x7"

Directions:
1. Stamp the mannequin image and the set of wings onto white cardstock using black ink. Stamp the rose image twice onto white cardstock once using black ink and once using pink ink. Carefully, cut out all the images and set aside.

2.  Tear the edges of the rose image and apply pink ink.  Mount the pink rose over the intact black image.  Apply pink ink around the edges of the mannequin using a sponge applicator.

3. Use black ink to stamp 3 different size clocks directly onto the distressed card base. Make masks of the clocks on scratch paper, cut them out, and place them over the clock. Next, stamp the script image overlapping the mask to fill in the open spaces between clocks.

(Practice assembling the cluster of elements but do not adhere them yet.)

4. Tie a faux bow with pink organza ribbon and attach it vertically on the left side of the rose embellishment adhering the tails to the backside.  Add 2 clocks behind the stamped embellishments and assemble the cluster of elements but do not adhere them.  Add small accent words to the background by stamping them with black ink.

5. Adhere all the main elements in the center of the card to create a cluster. All elements should be touching and/or overlapping to create interest and added depth.  Embellish with paper roses (1 large & 3 small) and a selection of small daisies. Adhere gems to the centers of the daisies. Use dimensional paint to create faux pearls and add a generous scattering of random clustered dots.

Angel Ornament

Hi gang,

The project for today is a Christmas ornament. Yes I made an ornament using the Phoebe Art Doll Rubber Stamp Set from Sin City Stamps. I knew the moment I saw this stamp that I wanted to make it into an ornament for my tree.

Supplies:

  Sin City Stamp: Phoebe Art Doll Rubber Stamp Set

Other Supplies:

  Copic Markers

  Sentiment die cut

  Angel wings die cuts

  Gold twine 

Step 1: Die cut the three layers of the angel wings.

Step 2:  Using Copic markers in shades of gray, I colored the wings.

Step 3:  I assembled the wings using foam tape to add dimension to the wings.

Step 4:  I stamped the Phoebe Art Doll and cut her out.  I colored the stamp using Copic markers.

Step 5:  Next the wings were attached to the back of the angel in a manner to show flight.

Step 6:  The final step was to attach a piece of gold twine to the backside of the ornament for the hanger.
