Courage, Silver & Gold

 Good Morning! Today I have a card to share using one of my favorite techniques... Embossing! I don't think watching Embossing Powder melt into the design. For this card I used Metallic Silver on Black Paper. I love how it pops off the paper! 


For this card you will need the following stamps: 
    1. Handwritten Note
    2. Pocket Watch with Flowers
    3. Courage - the difference in success and failure

Stamp the Handwritten Note using Versamark down the black strip of paper. Sprinkle with Embossing Powder and melt with a heat gun.


On a separate piece of paper, stamp the Pocket Watch, twice. Then fussy cut them out and use pop dots to adhere one on top the other. 


Stamp the Courage stamp on Black Paper and use Gold Embossing powder. Now, put your card together. Use pop dots to adhere the Courage Stamped Image to the card. Distress the edges of the card and ink the edges with Silver Ink.

Altered Book with Photo Stamps

 Hello friends! Today, I am on the blog with Blank Page Muse and I have created an altered book using an old book and stamps along with paint, stencils, and papers. 




Supplies used - 

Several Sentiments stamps from Blank Page Muse
Old book
Handmade paper
Assorted papers
Stapler
Art Glitter Glue
Gesso
Paintbrush
Acrylic paint in various colors

First of all, you will need to prep the book. To start this process, I tear out every other page so that the spine is not overloaded with pages, then glue two pages together for a less tear-resistant surface to work on. Coat each page with gesso and let dry.

While the pages are drying, stamp the images onto a mix of papers. I generally just stamp out my images onto several colors of paper then I have them ready when I am working on building the pages. 

After the pages are dry, paint them with acrylic paint in a variety of colors, let dry, then make some marks with tools such as a credit card, stamps, pens, etc. with a contrasting color of paint. Let this dry. While your pages are drying, look over your assorted images and papers and start to piece them together in layers for the book pages. These pieces can be stapled or glued together or even stitched on before placing them in the book. 

Now that the pages are dry, using large stencils and white or black paint or your choice of color, stencil over the book pages. 
For the orange page above, I used the Water Cloud Masks by taping them down with painter's tape. After the stenciled pages are dry, keep adding marks, splatters, dots, and more. At this stage, the pages are ready for the images and papers that are layered. You can use ink on the edges or a water-soluble pencil and draw along the edges for emphasis. Also, add any sentiments that you like at this point. Your book is now finished!

Here are the finished pages. Just remember that if you don't like a page or colors you used, just keep adding layers! 







Here is the cover, it had been painted with acrylic paint then crackle medium then layered with acrylic paint again to create the crackle, then using archival ink on the edges along with a glaze of paint over the top.

Butterfly Breezes Slimline Card

I just love all things butterflies. In Chinese culture, butterflies symbolize love, beauty, and good luck. You will almost always see butterflies in Chinese paintings. I am lucky to live in a state that has lots of butterflies. All I need to do is step into my backyard to see them.  

I love butterfly stamps and this set from Blank Page Muse called Butterfly Breezes Clear Stamp Set is so beautiful! It comes with three butterflies, a large sunflower, and a sentiment! I used two of the butterflies on my slimline card, the sentiment, and the sunflower three times. 


Please visit my blog for a full tutorial on how to make this card and all the Copic marker colors used.

Ginko Leaf Card Thinking About You

 Hello crafty friends! Hope your day is going well, I am on the blog today with Blank Page Muse using the Ginkgo Leaf stamp, I love Ginkgo leaves! There are lots of different leaves on their website, check it out!


Supplies used - 

White cardstock
Black cardstock
Gold embossing powder
Cosmic Shimmer
Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink

I love making CAS cards and this one was quick to put together! First of all, I cut my cardstock down for the card front. I then squirted some Cosmic Shimmer on my table and spritzed it with a little bit of water then dipped in my card, drying with a heat tool between layers of color. I like to dry my card to get the most of my color on the paper and to create some depth to the color. 

I then set this aside to dry a bit more on its own or naturally. I then stamped my sentiment (my sentiment is from Blank Page Muse but it is one that I cut from other words. I have a tendency to cut my words up so they are more versatile) and embossed it with gold embossing powder. Then assemble the pieces and you have a card ready for that special someone on your list.

Cactus Blooming Card

 Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here with a flip card today.


Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamps -
 Set of 3 Potted Cactus & Succulent, 
 Flower & Bird Sketches

Blank Page Muse Stencil -
 Eyes Stencil

Cardstock

Stamp the cactus on white cardstock and color with Copic Markers.



Die cut green cardstock to create the card flap.  Fit the stamped images behind the flaps.  Mat with black cardstock and add to a white card.  Using the stencil, place it over the green panel and ink with brown ink.  Move the stencil around the panel until it inked.  Reminds me of the rings a flower pot leaves.

ATC COINS

Hi everyone, Monique here on the blog with some Artist Trading Coins to show.  ATC coins just like ATC cards are small works of art that are traded and collected. The size of a coin is 2,5 inch, other than the size there are no rules. Usually they are made in sets with a theme but that is no rule either, so if you want to make just 1 that is fine too.

I made a set in a theme that reminds me of summer holidays. I hope you like them.

Wild Life Zebra Lion Giraffe Elephant collage stamp SC 0017
