How to Create and Elegant Stamped Sympathy Card

 Greetings!  Today I am sharing this elegant sympathy card. Lately I have been playing around creating slimline cards. They are simple to create and fit into a standard business sized envelope!




Simply cut your cardstock to 7 x 8.5 inches. Score at 3.5 inches and fold and you have your card base!

For this card I  die cut my patterned paper to fit onto my card base.  Stamp your flowers from the Florals Sheet Flowers for you Bouquet Happy Birthday Thank you Set from I Brake for Stamps onto cardstock with coordinating ink.  Cut out the flowers and adhere to your card. 



Add your greeting to finish your card.  I even added Liquid Pearls to my flowers to add more elegance. 

I hope you are inspired to get creative with your stamps and papers from Blank Page Muse and I Brake For Stamps.  Don't forget to use my discount code BPMChris.

You Belong to Me

 

Hey there, crafty friends!

I'm back on the Blank Page Muse blog today with a card that shows off my hopeless romantic side.  Today’s share is all about L-O-V-E, and was inspired by the song "You Belong to Me."  No, not the Taylor Swift one!  I'm talking about the amazing ballad from the 1950's that was made famous by Jo Stafford:

See the pyramids along the Nile 
Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me



The couples in these photobooth stamps made me think of that song as soon as I saw them.  Paired with a classic car stamp and some romantic words and the result is a beautiful card for Valentine's Day, an anniversary, or to say I love You on any day.

I used the following Blank Page Muse products to create it:




 
I hope that it makes you think of someone you love and that you smile.  And, if you're not familiar with the song, give it a listen!  You may read more about my creative process on my blog.
 
Thank you for spending some time here with me today.  See you again soon!

Let's Flamingo! Shaker Card

Hello! Welcome back to the BPM blog. Today's project is all about Flamingos. Do you know that flamingos get their color from their food? I guess after learning that fun fact, we can color the flamingo any color we would like, right? I only found out about this after I was done with my coloring. Maybe next time I will use a non-traditional color for the flamingo. 


I am using the Flamingo Row Red Rubber Arts Stamps on my card. I stamped the row of flamingos first to create a background. To make the coloring quick, I created a paper mask to apply the inks to the flamingo's body by blending in the color. I used the same technique on the large flamingo. except for its legs. I used a color pencil to color the flamingos' legs. 



I made this into a shaker card. I have not created one for a while so I thought this will be a good time to make one. I hope you like it.

Thinking About You

It's your stamping friend Karen Letchworth sharing here today.  I'm excited to share this FUN Valentine's Day/Love themed card that incorporates both Digital Paper Packages and Stamps from Blank Page Muse.  The patterned paper packs I combined to create this sweet card include the Vintage Gingerbread Festive Holiday Digital Paper Pack (the pink floral) and a plaid and teal blue pattern from the It's Your Birthday Party Digital Pack.  I also used various blue/teal papers from the It's Your Birthday Party Digital Pack for the sentiment strip and the pieces onto which I stamped the hearts.
Besides the fabulous Digital Patterned Paper Packs I used on this card, I was also able to use the two different sizes of beautiful shabby chic hearts found in the Scribble Hearts & Elements Mixed Media Stamp Set by Pam Bray.  The sweet sentiment can be found in the Special Day - Birthday Stamp Set by Pam Bray.
I used an image from the same stamp set to stamp my coordinating envelope so that it's cute inside and out.  I mean, who doesn't love receiving a cute envelope in the mail?  Blank Page Muse makes it so easy.  For the rest of my photos and to read further details about my card and envelope, you can visit My Blog here.  And then, for even more fabulous inspiration, check out these social media stops:

Blessings,

Forever February!

 Hi Creative Fans!

Today I am sharing an altered index card along with new digital download images available in store!


Products used:
Blocks Pattern Stencil designed by Deadseatoons
"Forever" word stamp from the Romance Classic Couples Set

I've used a 6 x 4 index card which already had a "painty" background from excess paint from another project! I used the block pattern stencil and added some texture paste.
I printed the digital page onto light cardstock and fussy cut the images I wanted to use.
I stamped the word "forever" onto fabric and sewed onto a piece of scrap patterned card by Pam Bray.
I arranged all the collage images and stamped wording onto the index card along with a vintage focal image (Tim Holtz paper doll).
To finish off I zigzagged a border with my sewing machine.


Hope you feel inspired to try something a bit different with the calendar download!


Check out my blog for more inspiration!

A CAS Flamingo Card

Hello! Welcome back to the BPM blog. Today's project is clean and easy to remake. I also created a stencil for this project that I can keep and reuse for future projects.



I used the following Blank Page Muse products for my card:
I used watercolor pencils to color the birds. These images are not hard to color at all. You can also use any color medium for coloring. I fussy cut the image after I colored the birds leaving a thin white border around it.

I created my own heart stencil by repurposing one of the plastic dividers of my son's broken accordion file folder. There might be some difficulty die cutting through this plastic despite adding a metal shim to the die cut machine sandwich. Just reinforce the cut with a craft knife, and you are set to go. You just created your very own DIY stencil. 


After I blended ink on the open space of my DIY stencil, I positioned the Clouds & Drops stencil over the DIY stencil. I used the same ink for blending to make this card very simple. 

An embossed sentiment completes this CAS card. Very easy, right? Another option is to stamp the birds on the card front and masking it to protect the birds from the ink blending. In doing so, this card will truly be a one layer card.

Thank you for visiting the BPM blog. Please visit my blog, Maria Giselle's Creative Cuts, for card details.
