Quick and Easy Love Card - Stamping on Shiny Card Stock

 Greetings !  I am here today sharing this quick and easy card I created using Blank Page Muse's Love Faith & Family Vintage Art Rubber Stamp Set.   I admit I was on a vintage kick when I created this card. I also admit to being a little inspired by Willy Wonka and those MAGIC Golden Tickets! 

This card was a lot about what happens if I try this?   I had scraps of gold shiny card stock and white shimmer ink on my desk (because I never clean up!!!! but rather move the piles around until I am all done!  It pretty rare that my card require so little "steps" to finish!  But the impact of stamping on the gold shiny card stock was just "WOW!" 

Supplies needed to recreate this card include:

Blank Page Muse's Love Faith & Family Vintage Art Rubber Stamp Set. 

Shiny Gold Card stock

Tsukineko Brilliance Pigment Inkpad, Matte Moonlight White

patterned paper, paper doily, flowers Card base

Stamp LOVE from the Blank Page Muse's Love Faith & Family Vintage Art Rubber Stamp Set using  

Brilliance White ink. This ink dries fast, even on shiny card stock, but I did speed it up a bit with my heat gun. I just love how cool this looks!   

Add stamped image onto doily and add to patterned paper on card base. card. 

Add flowers to finish your card. 

I hope you are inspired to get creative and try new things with your stamps! Be sure to follow us at

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!

Now you have the theme and a lovely project, come on back on April 10 when the new link will be live!

A Patchwork of Love...and January's Challenge Winner!

Hi BPM Fans!!

We're already into another month for 2020! Can you believe it?

Our theme this month is using multiple stamps - hope you are going to play along with our challenge and show us how you can use lots of yummy rubber stamps on your creations! Use at least 3 real rubber or clear stamps, no digis.

I've made this romantic card - perfect for this Valentine's month! 

Remember way back when this was a technique for creating a card background with stamps? It's fun to play around with the "old" way of stamping haha - I always thought this was an effective way to create a background!

Hope you feel inspired to have a go!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamps: Love Potion #9, Small Book of Love, Love is a Burning Desire

White Card Base

Sticky Note Pad

Ink Pads & Sponge for adding Colour

Dark Coloured Ink Pad for Stamping

Instructions:

Use your sticky notes to create a "frame" in the middle of your card front as shown below in the picture.

Use your sponge or applicator and cover the exposed card with ink.

Using your choice of stamp and a dark ink pad stamp onto the coloured square.

Repeat the above steps over the rest of the card front changing your ink colours and stamps!

You will end up with a patchwork looking card front which is perfect on it's own or you can add a feature stamp to the front or even just a bold sentiment!

A main feature stamp was added to the card as an option to add more interest: Romance Classic Couples used for this card. Lots of possibilities for adapting your card to any occasion!

Thanks for joining me today - hope you will play along with our challenge this month - we can't wait to see what you create!

Make sure you pop back here to the blog to get some more inspiration from the DT!!!

Happy stamping!

Love Signs

Hey BPM Fans!

Mercy here again with another project that is sure to brighten a room, wall, or shared area.  

Many chain stores as well as online outlets, have a variety of compressed wood pieces that are perfect for decorating.  In my example, the Love sign was found in the holiday section of Dollar Tree. 

 It's smooth porous surface is great for inking, stamping, collage, and general altering. 

Really, the sky's the limit with these forms and stamping with permanent ink really showed up remarkably well.

Steampunk themed stamps were used for this project, however any themed stamps would look really great on them for a variety of rooms, seasons and uses. 

Supplies:

Steampunk Man with Wings

Mystical Hybrid Birdman

Birdcage Woman

Octopus Girl

Airship Sail 

Butterfly mini Silhouette

Mini Butterfly

Small Bird in Flight

Pocket Watch with Bat Wings

Flower Shape with Butterflies

Dylusions Inks: Yellow and Red

Composite Wood Sign

Permanent Archival Black Ink

Vintage Gold Wax by Prima

Post-it Notes

Inexpensive Sponges

Scissors

Instructions:

1. Spray lightly at the top of your composite sign some of your yellow ink.  Use the sponge to rub in ink, and wipe off, pulling the yellow down the letters.  Dab any excess yellow ink to some scrap papers to reuse later.  Once the yellow is dry, spritz the bottom of each letter lightly, blending with the same sponge the ink there, pulling the red up into the yellow.  Intermingle the inks for a rainbow like affect from the top of each letter, down to the bottom.  Allow to dry.

2. Organize each of the stamps to figure out the best layout for each to be added to the letters.  Try to visualize where the best placements are along the letters for each image. In this case, the stamps were flipped over for spacing, arranged by size as well as theme, making sure as much of the image would be shown on the letters.  Once you decide on best placements, move the stamps off the sign so that you know exactly where to stamp each on the project.

3.  Ink up your stamps with the black archival pad, making sure the stamp is completely covered in it.  It's important to make sure all the stamps, before you stamp, are inked evenly since you have one chance to really get this right.  Once confident the stamp is loaded perfectly, carefully stamp directly on the letters.

4. Stamp all the images to the surface, making sure not to overlap.  If you want overlap or layering, use the post-it notes and mask off the images you wish to protect as the top layer image.

5. Once all the inks are dry and surface is completely decorated, use Vintage Gold wax and apply to all the edges.

Check to see that everything is dry to touch before hanging on a door, standing on a table, or wherever you are needing a little love.

A Valentine's Wish...



Hi Blank Page Muse Stamps Fans! 

Have you been enjoying this month's "Valentine's" themed creations and inspiration?

I'm sharing a mixed media semi vintage style card today - perfect for you to make for that someone special!



Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamp: "Make a Wish" from the Dandelion Wishes with Butterflies Set
Blank Page Muse Stamp: Vintage Style Man & Woman from the Romance Classic Couples Set
Black Base Card
Card 1cm smaller than the front of your base card
Old Book Pages
White Watercolour Paper/Card & Small piece white card
Heart Stencil & Texture Paste
Ink Sprays and/or Brea Reese Glitter Ink or like Product
Black & Pink Archival Ink
Gold "Smooch"
Watercolour Pencils and Water Brush

Embellishments: ink stained muslin cloth, corner charms, diamante
General supplies: glue stick, glue, spatula, heat tool to speed up drying process, scissors, double sided tape, mounting tape

Instructions:
Start by cutting your base card from black card or using a pre-made card base. Use your glue stick to adhere torn pieces of old book pages over your card front piece which is cut to 1cm smaller than your card front. Cover the entire front with the pages and then trim excess from sides of card.

Use a "love" themed stencil to apply texture paste to the card front. Note: I didn't cover the entire front - it looks more effective to "miss" bits!! The stencil used here was cut from a piece of acetate on a Cameo Silhouette. We all have our favourite stencils- this I one of mine! Allow to dry.

Once the texture paste is dry spray some pink ink spray and Brea Reese glitter ink and spread over the page by spritzing with a bit of water and "moving" the ink around on the card. Gold and Pink colours used on this card. Allow to dry.

To add a finishing touch to the card front "edge" the piece with gold Smooch or like product. Allow to dry. Remember you can speed up any of the drying processes carefully with a heat tool.

Stamp the Romantic couple onto watercolour paper with Black Archival ink. Stamp the "Make a Wish" wording onto plain white card. Cut around the wording and edge with Pink Archival ink.

Colour the Romantic Couple with watercolour pencils and a water brush and when dry fussy cut the image ready to use on the card front.

Use double sided tape or glue to adhere the card front to the card base. Gather all your stamped images and embellishments ready to arrange and adhere to the card.

Adhere all the elements to the card - use mounting tape to adhere the main Vintage Couple.



Happy Stamping!

Sharon
