Fantastic Plastic (in PINK)!!!

Hi Stamping & Crafting Fans

Hope everyone has been enjoying the crafting inspiration from the DT here at the Blog!

I've been making time for crafting lately and it has been great - even doing a few classes and an ATC swap which has inspired my post for today!

I love using acetate to make things and recently I participated in an Aussie swap Pink/Plastic themed ATC swap so I decided to make a few more using BPM stamps and accessories available in store!

To start I cut some thick acetate to ATC size and used shades of pink and gold alcohol ink - alcohol ink I've had for years and never used! I love the effects of the different colours moving and blending with each other!

Stamps used:

Correspondence Set by Katy Leitch - Script stamp

Lady with Butterfly Wings

Smile Winged Muse Stamp

Queen Word Stamp

Crown Stamp

Say it by Journaling It!

 Hi Again BPM Fans!

Hope you are enjoying the creations the DT have been sharing so far this month - always such a wide range of inspiration and different ways to use our Blank Page Muse Stamps!

Today I am sharing a couple of tags using a gelli plate and stamps to follow our "Say It" theme for the month!

Hope you enjoy!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamps: Correspondence Pens, Ink & Postage Set designed by Katy Leitch

Blank Page Muse Stamps: Art Journaling #2 Set "Journal It" stamp designed by Teri Sproul

Small Gelli Plate

Acrylic Paint & Brayer

Black Ink Pad

Tags

Washi tape

General supplies: glue, scissors, scrap black twine, scrap washi tape.

Instructions:

Start by stamping the ink pot, pens and journal it wording onto white card and fussy cut.

Brayer your acrylic paint over the gelli plate.

Use the wording stamp to stamp over the gelli plate.

Lay your plain tag over the gelli plate and pick up the stamped paint. Allow to dry.

Stamp the excess paint the wording stamp has picked up off the gelli plate and stamp it onto a plain tag - this way you actually create two tag backgrounds at once!

Edge the tags with the black ink pad along with the "journal it" wording. Add a scrap of washi tape and arrange your stamped images onto the tag and adhere. finish off with a piece of black twine at the top of the tag.

Happy Stamping!

Sharon

Vintage Slim Romantic Card

Greetings!  Today I am excited to share my tag I created to go along with this month's challenge  theme at Blank Page Muse which is ROMANCE! I admit I was inspired by all the vintage goodness that was created for last month's challenge.  I also decided to hop on the slim line card trend and make this card slim!  

To recreate this card you will need:

Blank Page Muse Rose Flower with Leaves Art Rubber Stamp by Terri Sproul

Blank Page Muse Correspondence Pens, Ink & Postage Art Rubber Stamp Set by Katy Leitch

Blank Page Muse LOVE Fancy Word Art Rubber Stamp Small

Other Supplies - Distress Inks, Water Color Markers (to stamp images), Card stock, Tag, patterned paper, and ribbon

Start by creating your slim card.  Cut a piece of white card stock to 7 x 8 1/2 inches.  Score and fold to create a 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch card. Cut a piece of patterned paper slightly smaller than your card base and adhere to your card. 

Stamp Script from Blank Page Muse Correspondence Pens, Ink & Postage Art Rubber Stamp Set by Katy Leitch repeatedly on tag. 

Using Blank Page Muse Rose Flower with Leaves Art Rubber Stamp by Terri Sproul, color stamp with markers and stamp repeatedly onto your tag. 

I just love the vintage look of this tag!  Stamp Blank Page Muse LOVE Fancy Word Art Rubber Stamp Small onto bottom of your tag.   Mat your tag onto cardstock. 

Add matted tag to your card and finish with a satin-y ribbon to complete that vintage look!

I hope you are inspired to get creative with your Blank Page Muse Supplies.  For more inspiration, be sure to follow us at

Just a Note

Hello there all our fellow BPM fans! Jess here today sharing with you a note card using some of those fabulous red rubber stamps!! This month, I'm going for a more masculine appeal. I just love this stamp set by Kate Leitch too! Come along, let's craft some fun pieces for the guys in our lives!

Products used:

Blank Page Muse: Correspondence Pens, Ink Postage Rubber Stamp Sheet by Katy Leitch

Blank Page Muse: Seth Apter Rocky Road embossing powder

Here is a fun photo of the stamp sheet I used!

You cannot tell me that this script stamp is not GORGEOUS! I just had to show it off a bit!

1. Cut your desired note card size

2. Begin by distressing the edges of your paper with a pair of scissors or other tool of your choice

3. Get out your stamp, embossing pad, and powder

4. Emboss your script stamp directly in the middle of the card

5. Heat emboss your stamped script using your heating tool

6. Stamp and cut out your images using black ink

I like leaving a very thing white line surrounding the images to make them POP.

6. Now get out your distressing tool of choice and some ink. We are getting inky!

7. Start blending from the edges inward

The idea here is to have the inner part of the note card the lightest, making the stamped images the focal point. 

8. Finally, use some foam dots or cardboard pieces to mount your stamped images.

Here we are! We have our finished notecard! 

Here are some close-ups for you to enjoy

 Thank you for stopping by today!
We look forward to seeing you next time!

Pockets full of inspiration

Hi Everyone,
Jess here today.  I am a huge reader.  I love everything about books.  Remember when you used to have to sign out your books at the library by writing your name on the card in the pocket?  Today I have a project for you using library pockets.

Blank Page Muse Products:

 Small Crackle

Correspondence 

Feathers

Sequin Waste

Pointing Hand

Small Butterfly

Hot Air Balloon

Other Supplies:

Library Pockets

Paper Dolls

Photobooth Photos

Distress Inks

Distress Oxide Ink

Archival Inks

Adhesive

Chipboard Sentiments

Bronze Paint

Vintage Sheet Music

Heavy weight thread

Milk Cap

Die Cuts

Mini flashcard

fabric tape

Frosted Crystal Embossing powder

Cardstock

Paper Distresser

Start by using a piece of silver cardstock. Coat the cardstock using Distress Ink and Oxide Ink.  Once the ink is dry use archival ink to stamp the  Small Crackle stamp.  Using a paper distresser rough up all the edges and cover the front of your library pocket.  

Stamp a piece of vintage sheet music with the postal stamp from the Correspondence  set.  Slide the paper into the pocket and glue it in place.  Add your 3d embossed border to the top of the pocket.  Stitch a small "x" onto your photo and glue it onto the crackled background.  Glue on the milk cap and chipboard sentiment. 

Stamp out the small Butterfly using archival ink.  Add bronze paint to the edges and cut the butterfly in half.  Add the wings to a paper doll and slide her into the pocket. 

This will complete your front cover. 

 Line a second pocket up to the backside of your first pocket.  Using a piece of fabric tape attach the pockets together.  Line the backside of your first pocket with a vintage airmail envelope.  Use postage stamps from the Correspondence  set in various spots.

Using archival ink stamp a Hot Air Balloon.  Color the balloon using various shades of blue distress ink.  Fussy cut your balloon and use the bronze paint to cover your raw edges.

Adhere the balloon to the page.  Add a paper doll, chipboard sentiment, and die cut globe.  Using the smallest  of the Feathers stamp them all around your page.  

   Use patterned scrapbook paper to cover the pocket on your next page.  Add the Pointing Hand and Feathers to the top of the pocket.   

Use the   Small Crackle stamp to add age to a tiny flashcard.  Use bronze paint around the edges. 

Add paper doll with die cut suitcase into the pocket.

Here are the middle pages. 

For the back of the second page(your back cover), stamp on a plain piece of cardstock. Use the script stamp from the Correspondence  set, the  Small Crackle stamp, Sequin Waste, and the  Feathers.  I used various shades of archival inks in browns and reds to create my background.  Glue the paper to your pocket.  Rip a piece of patterned scrapbook paper and add it to the edge.  Stamp out a couple Feathers using archival ink and fussy cut them,  Add the tiniest hint of blue using distress inks to the feathers and edge in bronze paint.  Cut a small slit in your photo and slide the feathers in to make them appear to be wings.  Glue remaining pieces to complete your book.     

I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Jess

Ink

Hello Peeps,

  Today's card is one of my favorites.  I think it can be used for many different occasions. I like the old time effect that the Sin City Stamp Set Correspondence Pens, Ink & Postage gives to the card. I have created the card using the collage technique.

Supplies:

  Sin City Stamp: Correspondence Pens, Ink & Postage

  Grunge stamp

  Various collage pieces

  Brown  and black ink

  Cream colored card stock

  Foam Tape

Step 1:  Stamp the background using the script background stamp in brown.

Step 2:  Using brown ink blend/ink the edges of the card layer.  Add grunge spots to age/fill in the layer.  Not shown in this picture but, added to layer was additional stamping of the flourish stamp from this set to fill  in the open spaces.

Step 3:  Stamp in black ink various stamps: pen, ink well, postage stamps and cancellation mark.  Cut out all of these stamps to be added to card.

Step 4:  Start assembling card layer by adding various collage pieces using foam tape to give the layer depth.

  I even stapled one of the pieces onto the layer.

Step 5:  Continue to layer on the pieces including the stamped pieces from the stamp set. Placement of collage pieces is always by personal preference.  I choose to rough up the edges of this layer to give it an even greater aged look.

Step 6:  Attach to cream card base.

I hope you like this card as much as I do.  As always, feel free to take this design and make it your own by adding which ever pieces you like.
