Grow Old Friends

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

Stamps: Old Friends, Butterfly Breezes Clear Stamp Set

This card is one that was created from one sheet of double sided pattern paper.

I loved the floral pattern, but didn't want to cover it in any way.

I began by fussy cutting the floral pattern, then matting on cardstock and fussy cutting that.

Using the reverse side of the pattern paper, cut a diagonal shape and mat with cardstock.

Cut the orange panel to fit the card base, then adhere the diagonal shape in the right corner.

Place the floral panel next with foam adhesives for dimension.

Use the same papers inside the card.

Stamp the phrase, mat with cardstock and add to the card.

Stamp and punch out the sentiment for the front panel.

Slip a small tag behind the floral image.

Finish by adding stickles about the panel.

Thanks for stopping by.

Two Romantic Hearts xxx

 Hi BPM Fans!

Here we are approaching the end of another month! I hope you have been enjoying our month of "Romance" and have felt inspired by the DT creations!

Today I am sharing an idea for a romantic card - perfect for lots of occasions depending on what sentiment you use! Always great to have an idea for any occasion cards using the same stamp!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamp: Vintage Style Dancing Couple

Blank Page Muse Stamp: Heart from Scribble Hearts & Elements Set designed by Pam Bray

Blank Page Muse Stamp: Two Hearts One Love Phrase

Blank Page Muse Stencil: Hearts and Broken Hearts designed by Stephanie Eaton

Base Card

Card front covered with ink stained paper towel OR Patterned Paper

White Paint

Stamp Pad & Scrap Card

Glue or double sided tape, spatula and scissors 

Embellishments

Instructions:

Cover your card front with paper towel. I use the paper towel I have blotted excess ink sprays with. Alternatively use patterned paper or gelli prints cut to slightly smaller than your base card front. Use your stencil, white paint and a spatula to apply the stencil design randomly over the card front. Allow to dry.

Stamp your BPM stamps onto the scrap card using your choice of ink colour and your choice of card stock colour. I have chosen kraft card and a red ink pad to co-ordinate with my paper towel background. Have fun with different coloured inks for your main images no need to stick to just black! Fussy cut your stamped images.

Adhere the hearts, vintage couple and wording along with any embellishments to the card front. 

This card works well with any romantic wording/phrase stamps. Perfect for a wedding or engagement card or for your valentine/special person!

Happy stamping and creating and thank you for joining me again today!

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

Happiness Blooms from Within

Greetings!  Chris here today, and I have been obsessed by watercolors lately as you will see by all my projects this month, as each features watercolors.  I just love that watercolors are a little messy and outside the lines! 

For today's project I chose to highlight two new Blank Page Muse stamp sets - Happiness Blooms from Within words & Henna Floral Motif Decorative Art Rubber Stamp designed by Shaloo Webster and Heart of Nature Butterflies Bees Art Rubber Stamps designed by Donna Gray

Start by stamping the flower from Heart of Nature Butterflies Bees Art Rubber Stamps designed by Donna Gray repeatedly on watercolor paper. with archival ink.  Stamp butterfly on upper left corner. 

Using a wet watercolor brush pick up distress ink to roughly color your flower petals.

 Repeat with a darker ink color.

 Paint flower centers.

 Paint butterfly with blue and purple inks.  Stamp greeting from Happiness Blooms from Within words & Henna Floral Motif Decorative Art Rubber Stamp designed by Shaloo Webster  and mat to finish card.

 I hope you are inspired to use watercolor inks on your cards! Be sure to follow us
