Dream Big Dreams!

 Hi BPM Fans!

Here we are in another new month yet again - this year is flying by!

Today I am sharing a Summery card to match our "Beachy Vibes" blog theme this month! 

Of course here in Australia we are coming into Winter and not Summer but I'm still happy to create something that makes me feel warm!

I've combined stamps designed by Pam Bray with some beachy collage squares I came across in my "scraps" container and thought they all worked well together!

Hope you like my card!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamp:

Blank Page Muse Stamp:

White Card & Ink Sprays 

Scrap Kraft Card

Black Ink Pad

Square Base Card

Beach Themed Collage Squares - Alternatively cut squares from Beach Themed Patterned Cardstock

Embellishments

General: scissors, glue

Instructions:

Start by stamping the surfboard stamp onto white cardstock that has been sprayed with coloured ink sprays and fussy cut. Stamp the sentiment on kraft card and tear out.

Add some glitter glue to the flowers on the surfboard for some added sparkle!

Arrange six collage squares onto one side of the card and adhere. Adhere a piece of hessian to the opposite side.

Add some muslin/gauze scraps along with the surfboard and the sentiment stamp - adhere all the elements.

If you want to add any other beachy embellishments you can. To change the "occasion" of your card add a sentiment that matches - makes a versatile card!

Thanks for joining me today!

Happy Stamping!

Make a Wish!

 Hi BPM Fans!

Hope you are all enjoying the "Nature" theme this month which is just perfect for soooooo many of the fab stamps available at the BPM Store!

Today I'm sharing some nature/natural feel cards using some of my scraps from my post here at the blog last month along with some new stamps I recently nabbed from the store!

Click here to see how I made the Floral Patterned Kraft Card used on these cards.

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamp: Lady with Butterfly Wings

Blank Page Muse Stamp: Smile Winged Muse

Blank Page Muse Stamp: "Make a Wish" & "Butterfly" from the Dandelions Wishes with Butterflies Set

White Card and Black Ink Pad

Colouring Mediums ie. Copics or Pencils

Kraft Card Bases

Torn Scraps of Stamped Kraft Card

Embellishments

General supplies: scissors, tape or glue

Instructions:

Start by stamping your Main Winged Ladies and Butterflies on white card with black ink. Colour in and fussy cut. I had fun doing some pretty basic "gawdy" colouring to make the images stand out and look quite bold!

Stamp the "Make a Wish" sentiment on white card and tear around the stamp.

Grab some "scraps" of leftover stamped card - link above for how to make patterned paper using BPM stamps!

Gather your base cards, some hessian or fibre ribbon or the like and any other embellishments you want to use.

Arrange your coloured stamped images, patterned card strip and embellishments on the card front and adhere. 

Hope you feel inspired to create your own nature feel cards!

Remember we always love to see what people are doing with their BPM Stamps - we love to get inspiration from BPM "Fans" as well as sharing our creations with you!

Happy Stamping!

Sharon :)

Pretty in Pink for Xmas!

 Hi BPM Fans!

I hope you are enjoying our Easy Holiday posts this month and that we are inspiring you to get motivated for the upcoming holidays - we know time is always short at this time of the year so quick makes are always a bonus!

Today I am sharing a card that has a super quick but effective background to use with your BPM Xmas stamps! And I've gone "non" traditional with the colour scheme because it's more FUN than traditional!

Hope you enjoy!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamp: "Holli Winter Season" designed by Rick St Dennis

Blank Page Muse Stamps: "Seasons Greetings"

Base Card

Scrap card slightly smaller than base card front & scrap card for stamping focal image

Scraps of patterned and textured papers

Embellishments

General supplies: glue stick, glue, scissors, double sided tape, black ink pad, colouring mediums

Instructions:

Start by stamping your main image onto white card, colour with your fav colouring medium and fussy cut. Stamp a Xmas sentiment as well!

Next step is to "decorate" the card front. Tear your scrap patterned/coloured/textured papers into strips approx 1cm wide. Use a glue stick to adhere the strips over the scrap card which you have cut slightly smaller than the card base front. Make sure to overlap each torn strip so you cover the entire piece of card. Trim the edges and adhere the decorated piece to the front of your card base.

Arrange your main focal image, stamped sentiment and any embellishments onto the card front and adhere in place. You have a completed card! 

Super quick, super easy and super effective!

Thanks for joining me yet again!

Have fun creating your Holiday Cards!
