"OWL" always love you!

Good day, fellow crafters. It's Tamara once again, with a new post showcasing my latest card created using  Blank Page Muse products! Today, I’m crafting with this beautifully detailed stamp and colored pencils. Let's Dive in!

To create this project, you will need the following:

Stamps

• Large Owl on Branch stamp

 Paper

• (1) White Cardstock  - 4.25" x 5.5"
• (1) White A2 card base 

Tools and Consumables

• Sticky mat (optional but very useful to hold work in place without using tape)
• Scissors
• Liquid glue
• Paper Trimmer
• Blue Ink
• Brown ink 
• Ink-blending brush(s)
• Stamping tool (I use a Misiti)
• Colored Pencils
• Masking sheet - 4.25" x 5.5"
• Low-tack adhesive 
• Sentiment of your choice (Mine came from my stash) 

Process: 

• Secure the white cardstock to the stamping tool.
• Align the owl stamp in the center of the panel.
• Use low-tack adhesive on the back of the owl stamp and then secure it to the stamping platform with some light pressure.
• Ink the stamp with the Brown ink, and then stamp the image. Reapply ink to the stamp and restamp if required for complete even coverage.
• Remove the stamped panel from the stamping platform and secure the masking sheet in its place.
• Ink the stamp with the Brown ink, and then stamp the image. Reapply ink to the stamp and restamp if required for complete even coverage.
• Remove the masking sheet and trim it along the edges of the image with scissors.
• Peel the masking sheet back and apply it over the image previously stamped on the cardstock panel.
• Secure the masked panel to your worksurface or the sticky mat.
• Use the Blue ink and an ink brush to ink blend a blue sky around the image to the desired hue. I like to go light with the sky in my cards to keep the focus front and center.
• Once the ink has dried, slowly peel the masking sheet off at a 45-degree angle to minimize the chances of tearing the image below.
• Remove the panel from the sticky mat and secure to a work surface.  I prefer my glassboard because it is ultra smooth, but I have also found a clipboard to work well.
• Use colored pencils, Browns and Greens, to color in the image.
• Secure the panel into the stamping platform, align, secure, ink, and then stamp the sentiment.
• Remove panel form the stamping platform.
• Secure the background panel to the black cardstock with liquid glue.
• Adhere the completed panel to the A2 card base with liquid glue.

Stamping on Wood - Timeless Romance Classic 2/20/2024

Hey, friends!

I’m back on the Blank Page Muse blog today with a unique, fun project.  I knew the minute that I saw the Romance Classic stamps that I wanted to make a card that was a vintage looking book with wooden pages.  These images lend themselves so well to a vintage wood burned look when stamping with a dark brown ink on wood.  There is plenty of space on the inside of the front and back covers to write a message to the recipient.

 

 

Here's what I used to make it:

• Romance Classic Couples Line Art Rubber Stamp Sheet Set SC92
• Birds & Clocks Rubber Stamp Set for the embossed clock on the cover
• LOVE word art rubber stamp SC88-08
• Timeless with Floral Spray Word Art Rubber Stamp 
• Everlasting Fancy E Art Word Rubber Stamp
• World Map Global View with Compass Art Rubber Stamp 
• Brutus Monroe Gilded Embossing Powder
• Various Tim Holtz Distress Ink Sprays
• Tim Holtz Walnut Staun and Tea zdue Distress Inks
• Wooden rectangle plates

Here’s a closeup view of a page:

This was a really fun, outside the box project for me.  What do you think of it?  Let me know in the comments!  You may read more about this project on my blog.

 

Thank you for spending some time here with me today.  See you again soon!

Dream BIG Art Journal Page

Hi everyone! It's me, Tonya and I am here to share my art journal page I created using the Clara and Dream Big Stamps, Heart Stencil and the feather stamp from the Flower and Bird Sketches Stamp Set.

I started by watering down blue ink, adding a wash of color to the page and letting dry.  I placed the Heart Stencil on top of the page and taped it down with washi tape to hold it in place. Next I inked up several Art Daubers in different shades of blue and inking over the stencil.

I placed the Clara stamp onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked and stamped onto a Watercolor Paper Rectangle Diecut.

I used an assortment of inks that I watered down to watercolor the stamped image and once dry I went back over it with Colored Pencils.

I stamped two feathers from the Flower and Bird Sketches Stamp Set, watercolored and once dry fussy cut both out. I cut a slit on both sides of the image, added a little adhesive and placed the stamped feathers into the slits. 

I adhered the Clara image to the journal page and I placed the "dream BIG" stamp onto the MISTI Stamping Tool and stamped onto the upper journal of the page.  

I finished off the page by adding washi tape under the sentiment and on the Clara diecut. Be sure to stop by Balnk Page Muse to pick up these stamps and stencils which can be found HERE. As always if you have questions about this project please let me know.

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

Sharon

Sketchy Post Card

Hello again! Stephanie here sharing this sketchy postcard using the beautiful BPM stamps designed by Pam Bray! A fun trick to try is making a blocked project. It can be used as a focal point on a mixed media journal page, scrapbook page or like I'm sharing here today...a postcard. So let's get started!

1. First step is to decide arrangement. Think of each piece being in it's own little box (we will sketch those in later ;)

2. Color in the lovely stamped images. You don't have to be perfect...sketchy is good!

3. Create a light wash of color over the entire postcard. White space is ok!

4. Last step is to add some depth to the images by layering some colored pencil over them. Choose a color close to your ink that you stamped the images with and draw loose sketchy lines to make boxes around each image. I also added the word Hi in a similar sketchy style.

Check out the detail in these gorgeous stamps below! Absolutely LOVE them!! So much scribbly goodness!

I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I enjoyed making it! If you want to see more BPM goodness check out the links below.
