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.

Taking Flight Card~Beauty in Botanicals

 Hello, Blank Page Muse Family! This month, our theme is Beauty in Botanicals. With spring in full swing, I thought I'd create a card that has a beautiful flower. The hummingbird thinks it's beautiful, too! I started by using the Leaves Collage Stencil and a very light green ink. I applied the ink lightly with a large blending brush onto a piece of white cardstock. I then added a hint of blue ink around the edges of the panel. 

I stamped clouds, a hummingbird, a flower, and a sprig from You Make Me Happy Hummingbird Clouds Flower Stamp Set in an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I colored the sprig, hummingbird, and flower with Alcohol markers. I lined the clouds in a very light blue alcohol marker. I stamped the sentiment, then trimmed down the panel to 4 x 5 1/4 ", mounted it onto an A2 piece of black cardstock. I adhered the entire panel to an A2 card base. 

 

Products used:

Leaves Collage Stencil

You Make Me Happy Hummingbird Clouds Flower Stamp Set

Alcohol markers

Color me Perfect Gift Bag

Lyneen here with a DIY gift bag idea.  I rarely buy beautiful gift bags.  Instead, I pick up bags at the dollar store and decorate them with papers, tags and ribbons.  

Today I have a bag using the Color Me Perfect Art Doll stamp collection and Bedazzled Diamonds Stencil, both created by Pam Bray.

Warm Sun and Gentle Breezes

Good day, fellow crafters. it's Tamara once again, with a new post where I am

going be showcasing my latest card created using Blank Page Muse products! 

As soon as I saw the sets I am showcasing today, I thought of someone special

who loves sunflowers, butterflies, and the color yellow. I ordered them right

away and added them to my craft stash. This card is beautiful yet simple to

make, so let's get started.

You will need the following:

 Blank Page Muse

 Butterfly Breezes

 Blank Page Muse

Blocks Pattern Stencil

 Black ink pad

 Yellow ink pad

 Cardstock –white and yellow

 liquid glue

 masking

 paper trimmer

To craft your card, start by selecting a background panel. You can use one you’ve previously

created or make a new one based on your preference. For this project, the

chosen panel features light pink and various shades of yellow. This panel will

serve as the basis for your stamped images, so choose colors that appeal to

you.

Next, use black ink and the Butterfly Breezes stamps to stamp the images onto

the panel in the colored area of your choice. You can either let the natural

color of the background panel stand out or add additional coloring to the

images. Once stamped, or stamped and colored, fussy cut the stamped images

and set them aside for later.

For the background panel, you will need a piece of white cardstock, the 

 Blank Page Muse Blocks Stencil, and some masking tape. Because the stencil

is smaller than an A2 card, masking is necessary. First, secure the white

cardstock to your work surface and then secure the stencil in place. Mask off

the area where you don’t want ink, and use yellow ink and an ink blending

brush to apply the color. Once completed, remove the stencil, realign it on the

opposite side of the panel, secure it, mask, and ink blend this side of the panel.

Allow it to dry fully.

The last stage is to assemble the card. Using a paper trimmer, cut the inked

background panel to its final dimensions. Trim a piece of yellow cardstock

slightly larger than the finished background panel to create a mat. Once both

sheets are to size, use liquid glue to adhere the background panel to the mat,

then adhere the composite to a white card base. Once dry, orient and adhere

your sunflower and butterflies to the panel. Finally, using the sentiment from

the Butterfly Breezes stamp set and black ink, orient and stamp the sentiment.

With that, your card is complete.

The stamps I used can be found by following the links in the materials list or

you can find them with a quick search on www.blankpagemuse.com.

Striped Card Design Using Border Stamps

Hello! Welcome back to the BPM blog. I am so glad you are here. Cutting strips of paper and incorporating it to the card design is pretty much on trend these days. This technique is showcased in today's card. To step it up, I added a border design to each strip.

I used the Blank Page Muse Beyond the Border Mixed Media clear stamp set on this card. I used all of the 5 border stamps included in the set. After I chose the colors of cardstock for my striped design, I heat embossed each border stamp to the cardstock. I used a pearl powder for embossing powder which adds a subtle but elegant look to the stamped impression. 

I glued the strips on a scrap piece of paper. I made sure that each strip is butted to the next one so that is looks like one continuous piece of paper. I die cut this into a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel.

A bold sentiment and gem embellishments completes this card. 

I encourage you to look into your stash and use those border stamps to create a striped panel design. 

I hope you like today's project. Please visit my blog, Maria Giselle's Creative Cuts, for more details.

Creative Ways of Using a Stencil

Hello! Welcome back to the BPM blog. Today's project is about how to extend the use of stencils. I also created a DIY stencil which might interest you. Best of all, while my craft supplies are out, I was able to create a bonus card. 

 

I am using several Blank Page Muse products on this card:

• Blocks Pattern stencil
  
• Butterfly Breezes clear stamp set
  
• You Make Me Happy clear stamp set

I used the stencil as follows:

1. I applied Deco Transfer Gel over the stencil for foiling.
2. I pounced Versamark ink over the stencil for embossing.
3. I traced the open areas of the stencil so I can color it with glitter and metallic pens.
4. I traced the open areas of the stencil and doodled some diagonal lines on it.
5. I used the stencil for embossing to add an impression on the gold vellum.

Foiling, Heat Embossing, Coloring, Doodling using a Stencil

For the DIY stencil, I stamped extra two flowers on scrap cardstock. I fussy cut the flower on one of the stamped images, and I fussy cut the flower center saving this piece and both negative cuts. I used these pieces so I can blend the ink to the stamped flowers giving it a more softer look compared to flowers colored with markers.

Since I have a left over piece of the stenciled panel (which I did not want to put to waste), I cut this left over piece into several pieces to create a frame for another card.

I hope you like today's card. If you have another way of using a stencil, please make a comment so I can also try it out. Please visit my blog, Maria Giselle's Creative Cuts, for card details.

Paper Doll Dream!

Hi Stamping Fans

 Happy New Year! Can you believe it's now 2024? Time flies!

Hope one of your new year's resolutions is to make more creative time for yourself!

Today I'm sharing a journal page using some of the fabulous "clear" stamps available in store - have you seen them? Lots to choose from and a great range of little "planner" stamps for those of you who love to decorate your diaries!

I've used these items for my "arty doll" page today:

Whatever is Good Dreamer Art Doll 1 Set by Pam Bray

Sweet Passion 6 x 6 Paper Pack by Pam Bray

Dots & Spots Stencil by Donna Gray

Hearts Stencil by Magda Polakow

I used collage paper from my stash and paint for the background along with patterned stamps from the clear stamp set. 

I stamped the "corner" stamp and main doll image onto patterned paper from the Sweet Passion paper pack - just love the pink colours!

I used a "head" from a Tim Holtz paper doll and adhered to the paper doll.

I adhered all the stamped paper to the journal background and stamped the "dream" word onto the page.

Some splatters and a page border to finish off!

Check out my blog for more inspiration!
