Journal Ephemera!

 Hi Stamping Fans!

Hope you are all getting in some creative time! I've been busy working in my journals which seems to be my go to creative outlet at the moment!
So today I am sharing some quick little word and image ephemera for adding to your journal pages or you could also use them on cards and tags - whatever you want!


All supplies available in store:



I've used word stamps and small image stamps from the clear stamp sets - any words and small stamps will word from any of the huge range of stamps available in both stores!

I love the 6 x 6 paper pads by Pam Bray - I cut strips and layered them on double sided sticky paper - makes it quick and easy and less mess than glue! Plus when you cut out your pieces you can just peel off the backing and stick straight on your project!


Hope you have fun with this quick little project! We would love to see what you create so remember to tag us on social media or make sure you have joined our Facebook group so you can share your creations!

Photograph & Remember!

 Hi Crafting Friends!

I can't believe we are half way through the year - time is flying!


Today I am sharing some vintage tags using stamps and stencils available in the store along with vintage collage elements and bits and pieces.

I made the tags backgrounds with stencils, texture paste and Lindy's Magical.
Stencils used: 
Eye Stencil & Blocks Pattern both designed by Dead Sea Toons


Stamps used:
"Dots" on tag background from the Half Sheet Numbers & Flowers
Window Frame stamped onto white card and fussy cut


I then added Tim Holtz vintage "heads', some vintage ephemera, hessian, lace, acetate embellishments - they are a bit of a mix of vintage and modern which I love!

Clean and Simple with Ephemera

 Hello from design team member, Heidi.  Today I wanted to make another clean and simple card, but this time, using some patterned paper scraps and ephemera.

I punched out three 1.25 inch squares of patterned paper.  I then cut white cardstock at 4 x 5.25 and embossed it.  This is optional, but I then used my paper scoring tool to scores some lines to be my guide for adding the square patterned paper pieces in a straight line.  It also adds a decorative border.  

After that, I just chose something from the coordinating ephemera pack to finish off my card.  Not ever card needs to be difficult!  

The paper pack and Ephemera is from Pam Bray’s Masquerade Line.

More Stencil Butters & Projects

 Hello again from design team member, Heidi!

I am making more projects with the Stencil Butters that are available in the Blank Page Muse store.  Part of this post will be me playing around with them and then I will use a couple of the backgrounds for projects.  

The first thing I did was to stencil over some of the Pam Bray patterned papers These papers are definitely thick enough to stand up to the stencil paste.  I really liked the nice opaque coverage. 



I then stenciled some of the apricot colored paste of the paper bag my order came in.  I messed up and a bunch got under the edge of the stencil.  So I went over it again with a metallic gold paste.  This one looks really cool in person and I plan to use it!



As I was going along, I randomly was using some excess paste onto scrap paper (this is the back of an order sheet, so just regular copy paper).  It was looking like this in the end, so I decided to thin out some of the red paste and just paint over the top. (This is one of the neat things about the paste, you can watercolor with it!) I wiped the excess off with a wipe and the parts that were dry resisted the paint and I think this is the coolest background.  You can see the result in the finished piece below.




The top piece is a home décor item that I finished using Ephemera from Pam Bray’s Masquerade line

The stamps for the finished card are from the Woodland Stamp set and Petals and Flowers stamp set, both in the Blank Page Muse shop.


I hope this gave you and idea of some different ways to use your stencil butters!  I will be back with more ideas another day.  Right now, I ‘d better go clean off my craft desk!  Have a great day!

Quick cards with Ephemera and Patterned Paper!

 Hello from Design Team member, Heidi!  I would love to share with you some cards I made with the *new* Masquerade Ephemera Pack and 6x6 Patterned paper pack.  

I did use a die and a stamp, just for finishing touches, but there are simply so many combinations to play with with the Ephemera and patterned paper. I made these cards in no time, I am sure it was less than an hour after my package arrived.  It was so fun to make these no-stress cards!





You can find these at the Blank Page Muse store.
