Mini Stamps Big Impact

Hi Chris here today sharing this cute Easter tag using the mini stamp from the Anime Fairies 2 Stamp set.  

Supplies needed to create this tag:

Manilla Tag

Sin City Stencil Template #20

Tim Holtz Distress Inks -Old Paper, Walnut Ink

Tim Holtz Distress Markers- Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, Pickled Raspberry, Shaded Lilac, Stormy Sky

Embossing Folder-Darice

Sizzix Die- bunny

Vellum

Staz-on Ink

Copic Markers - B24, Y15, YR04, R04, V06

Scenic Route Stickers

Ribbon

Liquid Pearls

I started by inking over the Stencil #20 template using the Old Paper Distress ink.

I then embossed the tag with my embossing folder. A little hint, I partially cut along the fold of the embossing folder just enough to allow the tag to slip through the embossing folder.

 Here is the result.

I then stamped some mini flowers on the embossed image using the mini flower stamp from the Anime Fairies 2 collection.  I used the Distress markers to color directly on the stamps .  I stamped the flowers in multiple colors.  I added Liquid Pearls to the center of each flower. 

I then stamped the mini butterfly from this set onto vellum with Staz-on and then colored the back sid of the image with Copic markers. After fussy cutting the butterflies I attached them to the tag. 

I trimmed off the bottom of the tag that was not embossed.  I die cut out the bunny and inked edges of the bunny with Walnut Distress Ink and added the bunny to the bottom of the tag.

I added some ribbon and Baker's twine and matted the tag on card stock to finish off the tag.

 I had so much fun creating this tag I decided to use the same techniques and stamps to create this card.

I sprayed Glimmer Mist all over the tag.  After embossing the tag I "painted" the vines and flowers with distress ink and my water brush.  The butterflies were stamped on cardstock and then punched out with the Martha Stewart butterfly punch.  I  layered the flowers from Petaloo with Fabri-Tac from Beacon Adhesives and added microbeads to the centers of the flowers using Gem Tac from Beacon Adhesives. I hope you are inspired to create some project using mini stamps.

The Perfect Composition

Hi Everyone,
Jess here today.

One of my favorite times of the year is back to school time.  I love school supplies.  Pens, pencils, notebooks, markers, oh my! Today I made made a mini altered composition notebook.  These are great for little gifts and the perfect size to pop in your purse.

Blank Page Muse Stamps Used:

Typewriter Keyboard

Sequin Waste

Correspondence Set

Soulful Words Sentiments

Other Supplies:

 Archival Inks

Distress Inks

Distress Crayons

Distress Spray Stain

Alcohol Inks

Vintage Sheet Music

Tim Holtz Photo booth photo

Sewing Machine

Tim Holtz 3d Embossing Folder

Muslin

Adhesive

Cut a manila tag just smaller than the cover of your journal.  Stamp the pens from the Correspondence Set, Sequin Waste, and the Typewriter Keyboard in Jet Black Archival ink.  Don't worry about empty space because you will be covering it with your photo.   Use various shades of blue DIstress Ink to color your tag. 

Stamp your sentiment from the Soulful Words Sentiments set.  Use a different shade of Archival Ink to add interest.  Rip the edge of the tag and color it using a Distress Crayon.  

Use a piece of vintage sheet music to cover the front and back of your composition book.  Add you tag so it is right up against the spine.  Using the Tim Holtz 3d embossing folder make your border and glue this on top of the book.

Using the script from the  Correspondence Set stamp a piece of muslin using Archival Ink.  

Spray the muslin with Distress Spray Stains. Dry with your heat tool.  Glue the muslin to the spine of the notebook. 

Adhere a photo booth photo that has been colored and stitched to the cover. Add a vintage paperclip for added visual interest. 

  

Happy Creating! 

Jess

Baby Animals....

Hi Blank Page Muse Fans!

Are you enjoying this month's "embossing" theme?

So many fabulous projects from the DT to inspire you to get creating and join our monthly challenge!

Today I am sharing some "dry embossed" cards using tamps from the super cute "Baby Animals" sets available at the Blank Page Muse Store!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamp Sets: Baby Animals 1 & Baby Animals 2

Blank Page Muse Stamp: Happy Birthday - several available in store - (used here from the Steampunk Circus Set)

Embossing Folders

Watercolour Paper

Brushos Pigment Powders or similar

Base cards

Scrap white card for stamping
Scraps of muslin cloth

Tools: embossing machine, water spritzer, scissors, paper trimmer, edge distresser

General supplies: glue, double sided tape, mounting tape, colouring mediums (Copics used here), black ink pad

Instructions:

Start by gathering your items for embossing so the embossed pages have time to dry whilst you are stamping and colouring.

Open your embossing folder and sprinkle several colours of Brushos on the front flap.

Spritz with water. Don't you just love the effect??!!

Place your watercolour paper onto the spritzed side and close the folder ready for winding through your embossing machine.

You will get a lovely result from embossing with the water and ink through the machine. Depending on how much water you spritzed you will probably be able to achieve another embossing or if you think you need to add a little more colour sprinkle some more Brusho over the folder and emboss again. A great way to emboss scraps of paper for small projects like ATC's etc. You can use tags as well for a great background effect.

Below are a few different designs. You can get some really interesting colour combos if you refrain from cleaning the folder in between colour changes! Once dry you can then cut these pieces to size for your creation.

Now to stamp the cuties from the Baby Animal Sets using your favourite black ink pad. I have used stamps from both sets for my cards. Great for cards for new borns and kids! and you will notice I've used the "Koala" seeing as I am an "Aussie" - perfect LOL!

Colour the stamped images with your favourite colouring medium in co-ordinating colours. I have used Copic Markers to colour these little babies. Then fussy cut your stamped images ready to use on your cards.

Using the Black Ink stamp the "Happy Birthday" (or sentiment of your choice) onto white card and cut out.

Now to assemble all of the elements to complete the cards! Trim the dry embossed card to slightly smaller than your card front and distress the edges.

Edge the "Happy Birthday" sentiments with co-ordinating coloured markers.

Use double sided tape or glue to attach the embossed card to your card front along with a scrap of muslin cloth. Add tape to the sentiment. Add mounting tape pieces to your Baby Animal. Arrange and adhere to the card front.



Just love how these turned out!!

Hope you have enjoyed my post today! Make sure you have some fun embossing and join this month's challenge!

Remember we always share our creations in the Facebook Group along with updates, new releases and fun!!

Happy stamping with "Blank Page Muse"!!!
