Cabin in the Snow

Hello, hello. Samantha here and today I am showing you an idea for getting more use from your Blank Page Muse stamps.

I wanted to use the beautiful House with Trees Sketch Style Art Rubber Stamp to create a winter scene but I felt like the trees on either side of the house were a bit too full to bring my vision of a winter wonderland to life.

Determined to make it work I soldiered on, stamping the image to white cardstock and coloring it in; making sure to give the windows a warm glow. While I fussy cut the image out inspiration struck. I chopped the trees out of the image by simply snipping them away with my scissors.

I created a starry night sky on a white cardstock panel using Distress Oxide inks, water, and white paint splatters.

I created my snow filled background and foreground by cutting white cardstock with a hill border die, inking along the edges in a blue ink.

I layered my snowy hills and my cabin onto the ink blended cardstock panel and added the entire thing to a teal, A2 sized card base.

I opted to stamp my sentiment to the inside of the card so as not to detract from the beautiful scene on the front.

For this I used the Let it Snow with Snowflakes Word & Image Art Rubber Stamp and a basic black ink.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Take a look at your BPM stamps and see how, just by altering various elements, you can use them in new and wonderful ways.

Until next time,

Samantha

Window to the Sea

Hello Friends,

I am building a card using bits and pieces from multiple stamp sets.  

I have so many stamps that I have wanted to use, I decided to take stamps from different sets to create one card.  

Thus I am able to justify to myself why I needed to buy so many different sets.

  (I know I am not the only one to feel this way. Right?) 

 I think this shows how versatile Sin City Stamps really are!



Supplies:
   Sin City Stamp Set - Mountain & Beaches
   Water Stamp
   Bird Stamp
   Sand Stamp
   Beach Grass Stamp
   Sentiment Stamp
   Brick Stencil
   Texture Paste
   Window Die
   Foam Tape
   Window Sheet
   Ink:  shades of blue, green and brown

Step 1:  Using texture paste, create a brick wall effect on card layer.  This will give texture to the card.
Tip* It helps to use re-positional tape to hold paper in place. 

Step 2:  Stamp water and sand on the layer that should be cut to be slightly larger then the window panes of the die.

Step 3:  Cut the window sheet to be slightly larger then the window pane openings.  Die cut the window out.

Step 4:  Ink blend over the water and sand to fully color the card layer.

Step 5:  Stamp beach grass in green on the sandy beach creating realism.

Step 6: Stamp the Sin City Beach Life Guard Stand and cut out.  (I used my electronic cutting machine for this step.)

Step 7:  I cut out the inside of the stand legs using a cutting blade and ruler.

Step 8: Color in the stamped image to make it look weathered.

Step 9:  Stamp a sea bird in black so that it will be seen through the window pane.  Tape the window sheet to the back of the window die cut. Using foam tape affix beach stand to layer.

Step 10: Using a double layer of foam tape to affix the window die over the card layer creating depth and realism to the scene.

Step 11:  Stamp sentiment to a co-coordinating banner and use foam tape to secure under window.

I think this mix and match approach to creating cards has opened many doors to new and exciting possibilities. (Can't wait to buy more Sin City Stamps!)
