Vintage Inspired Altered Notebook

Hi everyone, Monique here, with an easy to make gift idea.

 I love notebooks, you can never have enough notebooks. Not sure what it is what I like about them, , but mostly it is the feel of the book when you hold it in your hands or it's just a nice looking cover, but they always make me happy.

That is why even in the digital age a notebook is a great gift, and if you personalize the covers to the receivers taste, it is usually a highly appreciated gift. Everyone needs notebooks in their life, even if you don't use them to write in them, they are just nice to look at :-).

This one started out as a kraft covered small notebook, the perfect size to carry with you in your purse or pocket, and it fits in an envelope so easy to send as happy mail!

Supply list:

the following Blank Page Muse stampsets;

*Correspondence Pen Ink, Postage set, by Katy Leitch (SC001)

Vintage Corset Card

Happy New Year! I can hardly believe 2021 is here... 2020 has definitely been... a year. December was a particularly hard month and when I sat down to create I felt so discouraged. 

There is something so exciting about having a blank canvas in front of you.... 

So I started with just a blank piece of cardstock that was cut down to 4" x 5.25" and one of my go to products: Distress Ink. From there I let go of the stress and got lost in the creating. . .

Begin by inking a embossing plate before running it through.

It embosses the ink into the paper to create a beautiful background: 

Now, time for the stamping! 

Stamps Used: 

Leaves Rubber Stamp Set Sheet SC44

Vintage Style Corset Steampunk Art SC0076-01

The Vintage Corset is one of my favorite stamps. The detail is beautiful. 

Try stamped it using Archival Ink onto Kraft cardstock. 

Then using Distress Ink Pine Needles, stamp the leaves. Fussy cut them all out and and use Copic Atyou Spica markers to add a little sparkle.

Using the Pine Needles Distress Ink and oval stencil, create a oval shape on the background. Adhere the corset and leaves using glue and some pop dots for dimension. 

Supplies Used: 

I love all thing vintage and really enjoyed working with the Vintage Corset Stamp!
What Vintage things have you made? 

Happy New Year!

Let Your Dreams Take Flight

Happy New Year BPM Fans! Betty here to share a vintage/classic card. You have probably heard of the saying, "Let Your Dreams Take Flight." What does this really mean? What I think it means is that you can still achieve your dreams and goals even if you have come across many challenges. As we enter 2021 with renewed hope and inspiration, it's time to achieve some of these dreams and goals. I made this card to inspire a special person in my life who has had some recent challenges in his life. 

I used two Blank Page Muse stamps. One is called World Map Hot Air Balloon Steampunk and the sentiment, Let Your Dreams Take Flight, is from the Vintage Transportation Steampunk set. These are the perfect stamps to use for entering a project in the Blank Page Muse January challenge, “Vintage/Classic.” 

Supplies:

• Blank Page Muse Art Rubber Stamps:  World Map Hot Air Balloon Steampunk and Let Your Dreams Take Flight sentiment from the Vintage Transportation Steampunk set.
• White cardstock (base card) - 12"H x 6"W folded in half 
• White cardstock (card front) - 4-1/4"H x 5-1/2"W
• White cardstock (to stamp balloons) - 4-1/4"H x 5-1/2"W
• Gray cardstock (card mat) - 5-7/8"H x 5-7/8" W
• Newsprint Patterned paper - 5-3/4"H x 5-3/4"W. I used paper from Pink Paislee called Indigo Blue. Substitute with any matching paper.
• Postage meter patterned paper (cut 2)- 1-7/8"H x 5-3/4"W. I used Kaisercraft, Miss Empire Collection, Steampunk. Substitute with any matching paper. I also used this paper to cut out 2 tags.
• White cardstock (sentiment) - sentiment trimmed to 3/4"H x 2-5/8"W
• Vintage postage stamps - I used real ones, but you can also use clip-art.
• 3-1/2"H x 4-1/2"W rectangular die (I used an edge that looked like a stamp, but you can use any style)
• Waterproof Black ink pad - I used StazOn
• Distress ink: Black Soot
• Distress ink: Stormy Sky
• Distress ink applicator
• Distress Collage Medium - vintage
• Paint brush to apply collage medium
• Glue stick
• Favorite adhesive
• Scissors
• Paper trimmer

Optional items for the tags:

• 2 brads
• 2 eyelets
• Crop-a-dile or hole punch and eyelet fastener
• 2 pieces of brown twine - 5" each

Instructions:

• Cut all the cardstock as indicated in the supplies list
• Using a 3-1/2"H x 4-1/2"W die, use a pencil and trace the inside of the die to mark a guide for placement of stamps onto the card front (white cardstock). If you don't have a die, use a ruler and mark the dimensions as stated.

• Using a glue stick, put a layer of glue onto the white cardstock. Add some glue outside of the lines as well.

• Arrange the stamps on the cardstock, making sure each piece has glue. Make sure the stamps go over the edges of the guide lines.
• Apply a thin later of Distress Collage Medium (vintage color) over the top of the stamps. Let this completely dry.

• Use the die and cut out the stamps. If you don't have a die, use a paper trimmer to trim where the guide lines are.
• Using a waterproof black ink pad, such as StazOn, stamp 2 balloon images and the sentiment on white cardstock (the picture only shows one balloon. I decided to add two balloons at the end of the project)

• Using Distress Ink Stormy Sky, ink your balloons and sentiment. Fussy cut the balloons and use a paper trimmer to trim the sentiment. 

• Using Distress Ink Black Soot, ink the edges of the balloons, sentiment, card front, mat, and base card.
• Using the Kaisercraft, Miss Empire Collection, Steampunk paper or paper of choice, cut off the strip that has the postage meter stamp and adjoining border. One piece will be for the outside of the card and the other will be for the inside. Distress the edges with Black Soot.

• Cut two small tags using the Kaisercraft, Miss Empire Collection, Steampunk paper. If you don't have a die, use a paper trimmer. Distress the edges with Black Soot. Punch a hole and add an eyelet and twine to each tag.

• Add brads and foam tape to the back to the sentiment. 
• Time to assemble your card:
• Adhere the gray cardstock onto the base card
• Adhere the newsprint patterned paper on top the gray cardstock
• Adhere the postage meter patterned paper to the bottom of the card, but leave the top edge unglued so the stamps and tags can be added. Adhere the extra strip to the inside of the card.
• Adhere the card front with the stamps to the card. Slip the bottom corner behind the bottom strip.
• Using double-sided adhesive foam tape, adhere the balloons and sentiment
• The tags are NOT adhered, instead, they are to be slipped underneath the strip. This way, the recipient can remove them to see the vintage stamps.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you give this card a try. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below. ~Betty~

Just Quickly Before We Say Goodbye to the Festive Season..........

 Hi BPM Fans!

Well another silly season is over with! And Welcome to the New Year - 2021 - can you believe it?

It is very unusual for me to be creating something in advance of Xmas for this year BUT this is just a super quick idea for you to be able to recycle some of the Xmas cards you received and save adding them to landfill or if you had leftover store bought cards! This is a great way to "jazz up" store bought cards!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamps: Joyful Gnome Set designed by Pam Bray

Store Bought Xmas Cards/Recycled Xmas Cards Received!

Black Ink Pad & Scrap Card plus Colouring Mediums

Base Cards if using Recycled Card Fronts - Not Required if you have left over Store Bought Cards

General: tape, glue, scissors, colouring mediums, washi tape 

Instructions:

If recycling received cards cut off the card front and adhere to a card base. If you are using unused store bought cards you are ready to decorate!

Stamp your images onto white card with black ink, colour and fussy cut.

Add some strips of washi tape to the card front.

Add your stamped images along with any embellishments to the card front and adhere.

Such a quick way to make multiple cards ready for the end of this year!

Thanks so much for joining me for the first time in 2021!!!

Happy stamping!

Sharon

Snow Globe Ornament

Looking for more decorations or a last minute gift? This project is so fast I found the snow globe pattern here. Only I don't have any craft buttons. So I made my own using these adorable penguin stamps.

Rubber stamps used:

1. Penguins on ice, holiday sheet. This sheet is so awesome I also used the snowflakes from it.

2. By Pam Bray Classic Christmas set I love this little reindeer.

Additional items needed:

Imagination

A pair of good scissors

Shirk Film

Ink - StazOn

Color pencils- Faber-Castell

Hot glue gun and sticks

Mod Podge Dimensional Magic

Step 1: Start by stamping your stamps on the shirk film the ink will need time to dry before coloring.

Step 2: Once the ink is dry color in the stamps with color pencils. Then cut them out carefully.

Step 3: Follow the instructions on your Shirk film to shirk them. Once cooled you will want to use your Mod Podge to seal in the color pencils.

Step 4: Crochet the snow globe, pattern can be found here.

Step 5: Assembling it all together! Once you've crochet your snow globe and the Mod Podge is dry. It's time to heat up the hot glue gun and glue down all your pretty pieces. Take a piece of yarn about 8" long to make a a big loop to hang on your tree. I used the lark's head knot in the top middle part of the fishbowl, then tied a basic knot on the top making the loop. 

Pro tip: Tweezers are you best friend when you have to hot glue tiny pieces like this. I may or may not have learned this the hard way. ♥

Hope you enjoyed this mix medium snow globe ornament. If you have any questions feel free to message Lasheet and if you choose to make your snow globe ornament tag her and Blank Page Muse. Thank you, happy crafting!! ♥
