Horizonal Fun Fold

 

Hi, Sue here today with another fun fold card. 

Here's a close up view of the card standing. 

I like that this fun fold can stand on its' own even though the front is shorter than the card itself.

The Perfect Composition

Hi Everyone,
Jess here today.

One of my favorite times of the year is back to school time.  I love school supplies.  Pens, pencils, notebooks, markers, oh my! Today I made made a mini altered composition notebook.  These are great for little gifts and the perfect size to pop in your purse.

Blank Page Muse Stamps Used:

Typewriter Keyboard

Sequin Waste

Correspondence Set

Soulful Words Sentiments

Other Supplies:

 Archival Inks

Distress Inks

Distress Crayons

Distress Spray Stain

Alcohol Inks

Vintage Sheet Music

Tim Holtz Photo booth photo

Sewing Machine

Tim Holtz 3d Embossing Folder

Muslin

Adhesive

Cut a manila tag just smaller than the cover of your journal.  Stamp the pens from the Correspondence Set, Sequin Waste, and the Typewriter Keyboard in Jet Black Archival ink.  Don't worry about empty space because you will be covering it with your photo.   Use various shades of blue DIstress Ink to color your tag. 

Stamp your sentiment from the Soulful Words Sentiments set.  Use a different shade of Archival Ink to add interest.  Rip the edge of the tag and color it using a Distress Crayon.  

Use a piece of vintage sheet music to cover the front and back of your composition book.  Add you tag so it is right up against the spine.  Using the Tim Holtz 3d embossing folder make your border and glue this on top of the book.

Using the script from the  Correspondence Set stamp a piece of muslin using Archival Ink.  

Spray the muslin with Distress Spray Stains. Dry with your heat tool.  Glue the muslin to the spine of the notebook. 

Adhere a photo booth photo that has been colored and stitched to the cover. Add a vintage paperclip for added visual interest. 

  

Happy Creating! 

Jess

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.
