Paper Dolls

 Hello crafty friends! Kelly Parker on the blog today with Blank Page Muse using several of their people and photobooth stamps which are listed below.  I love using people and face stamps, they are so versatile and a fun way to make all kinds of projects!

Supplies -

Photobooth Woman

Lady with Butterfly Wings

Smile Winged Muse

Collage Lady and Lace ATC

Vintage Lady with Wings

Steampunk Gentleman with Wings

Various pieces of collage papers

 - gelli prints

 - magazine pages

 - old book pages

 - washi tape

 - stickers

White Cardstock

Versafine Clair Ink

Stamp out the images onto the white cardstock, draw a body and cut out the images. Stamp the Vintage Lady and Steampunk Gentleman, cut out the wings for use on the dolls. 

Glue assorted papers to the bodies of the dolls and embellish with stickers, lace, washi tape, sequins, and hats. At this stage, you can use anything you want to decorate and embellish your dolls. You can also use a paint pen to create more texture and marks on each doll. When you are finished, you can ink the edges with a crayon, ink pad or pen or even do some stitching on the body of the doll. 

Here is each doll up close, Enjoy!!

I am My Own Women Art Journal Page

 Greetings Chris here and today I am excited to share this art journal page I created.  I am trying really hard to create at least one page a month. 

 Looking back at the page, I see that I must have been thinking about climbing this uphill battle of life of a working mom and wife  in a currently very high stress job who loves to create but has trouble finding the time while trying not to slip back down the slope of life.  So let's get started.  

To recreate this Project you will need:

Blank Page Muse Supplies

 Newsprint Paper Doll Large Art Rubber Stamp 

I am my own woman Sentiment Art Rubber Stamp

Photobooth Woman Portrait Photo Style Art Rubber Stamp

Alphabet Letter Set Sheet Art Rubber Stamp by Terri Sproul

Other Supplies

 Kraft, brown and Cream Card Stock, wide and thin width lace, jute, brown archival ink

Start by stamping your  Newsprint Paper Doll Large Art Rubber Stamp , I am my own woman Sentiment Art Rubber Stamp and Photobooth Woman Portrait Photo Style Art Rubber Stamp Images onto cream card stock with brown archival ink.  Note: I did not use the male photobooth image. 

 

Stamp L I F E using your Alphabet Letter Set Sheet Art Rubber Stamp by Terri Sproul across the bottom of your art page. 

Adhere wide width lace along the left edge of your journal page. 

Create "tightrpoe" by adhering thin width lace going uphill across the page. 

Tie jute around your art journal page as shown. 

Cut Photobooth Woman Portrait Photo Style Art Rubber Stamp image and mat onto brown card stock. Adhere to wide lace are as shown. 

Detail cut your Newsprint Paper Doll Large Art Rubber Stamp  and assemble on your page. 

Finish your art page by cutting your I am my own woman Sentiment Art Rubber Stamped image and matting on brown card stock.  Adhere to your page. 

 

I hope you are inspired to get creative with your Blank Page Muse Stamps.

Inked up for School!

Hi Blank Page Muse Fans!

 

Who can believe it's already September?

Here in Australia I am looking forward to the warm weather arriving as soon as possible.
- I am so over Winter LOL!

As you know our theme here at the Blog is "Back to School" for those of you who have kids returning to school after Summer Holidays!!!

I hope you enjoy the altered quirky "ink pot" character tags I have to share today - I think they are fun and would make good bookmarks for kids to use at school!

Supplies:

• Blank Page Muse Stamp Set: Correspondence Pens, Ink & Postage Art
• Blank Page Muse Stamp Set: Fairytale Fantasy Figures
• Black & White Embossing Powder
• Embossing Ink Pad
• Manilla Tags: Size used for this creation 6cm x 12cm
• Scraps of Gelli Printed Card
• Old Puzzle Book Pages
• Acrylic Paint
• Collage Paper Doll Elements: used for this creation Art Tea Life "Little Paper Dolls"
• General Supplies: scissors, glue, heat gun
• Embellishments: washi tape, muslin cloth, string, wool, sticky mesh

Instructions:
Start by gathering your supplies so you have everything at hand - these are really quite simple to make even though there are a few "layers" and "elements" to them!

Start by making your little paper doll ink pots! Stamp the "Swan Ink" pot into your Gelli prints with embossing ink and heat emboss with the black powder. Fussy cut the stamped ink pot.

Next step is to cut out your paper doll elements. Use here are little round faces with "hair" and a bow along with some legs! Glue them all together. LOL too cute!

Next step is to prepare the tags ready to add your little Ink Pot Characters. Using the pages from the puzzle book or any text book or old school book cover the entire tag using a glue stick. You can fold the edges over and glue to the back for a neat edge or just trim around the tag once dry.

Use 2 colours of paint for each tag and use a spatula to spread a very thin layer over the tags. Use paint colours that match your ink pot backgrounds. Allow to dry.

Use your choice of stamps from the Correspondence Set to cover the tag backgrounds. Use your embossing ink pad and the white embossing powder.

Add some fibre/wool to the tops of the tags along with some torn washi tape, bits of sticky mesh and muslin cloth. Tag backgrounds are now complete and ready to add the Ink Pot Paper Doll collages!

Adhere your little paper doll characters to the tag backgrounds and you have the completed tags!

Thanks for joining me today - hope you feel inspired to get stamping!

I will be back later in the month with another fun creation!

Sharon

The Golden Days of Travel

Hi Blank Page Fans,

Jess here today.  

Remember when people used to get dressed up to go on vacation? You never used to see people on airplanes in pajamas and yoga pants.  I can't imagine these ladies not looking put together.  I pictured them shopping in Paris and sending a postcard to a friend back home.  

Here are the supplies you need to gather to create your own postcard.

Stamps used:

Dress Form Stamps

Pen Nibs

Postmarks

Script

Typewriter Keyboard

Travel Stamp

Adventure Stamp

Butterfly

Other Supplies:

Jet Black Archival Ink

Archival Ink in Coffee and Hydrangea

Distress Collage Medium

Distress Markers

Distress Collage Paper

Distress Ink

Cardstock

Stabilo Pencil

Clear Gesso

Let's get started!

Stamp out your main images across the postcard using Jet Black Archival ink.

Create masks, using post it notes, and stamp all over to fill in white space. 

Once you have finished stamping your background use Distress Collage Medium to apply Distress Collage Paper to various areas of the postcard. 

Add your paperdoll and color in the dresses using Distress Markers(to make sure the ink stays on the image coat your paper doll in clear gesso).   Add Distress Ink to the edges to make the postcard appear to be vintage.  Use your Stabilo pencil to add shadows around the paper doll and around the edges of the collage paper.  

Turn your postcard over and add the Script and postmark stamp to the back.  Use Distress Ink to age the paper.  Color in the postmark using Distress Ink. 

Just like that your card is complete.  

Here are a few more glamour shots.

It was really fun to see how many stamps I could add to the collage feel of the card.  I haven't done a masking technique in a long time and it was fun to play around with it again.  

I hope you feel inspired to play with your stamps too.
