Bookmark From Snippets

If you often find yourself with leftover snippets of card, why not turn them into fun bookmarks? That's what Charlotte did here, using the Background Roses stamp and some quick alcohol marker colouring. Round the corners, punch a hole and add some twine, and you have a bookmark ready to go!

Ombre Butterflies

     Hello, everyone! Samantha here and today I'm going to be sharing a quick and pretty card with you. I'm tired of winter and so I've been making lots of spring themed cards as of late.

(Be certain to use code BPMDtSamantha2019 to save 15% off your next order!)

     For this card I used one of the sentiments as well as the butterflies from the Dandelion Wishes with Butterflies Art Rubber Stamp Sheet by Terri Sproul. This is such a gorgeous stamp set and I highly recommend it.

     I stamped the butterflies in shades of blue (darkest on the lower portion and getting lighter as I moved up the panel) and heat embossed the sentiment onto a strip of vellum.

     To finish I added three small gems.

     I hope that you like my card and that it inspires you to make one yourself. Have a beautiful day!

     Until next time,
     Samantha

Steampunk Art

Hello, I have been busy playing with that Ultra Tick Embossing Enamel(UTEE) again. This time I printed directly in it with the rubber stamp. Look at the results! Truly amazing!

Now it's time to show you how I made this:

Blank Page Muse Stamp used is: Cogs & Gears Steampunk Background Rubber Stamp

Other supplies used are:

• Black UTEE
• Pebeo Patinating Wax - King Gold
• black and silver cardstock
• Golden Heavy Gel

Begin by melting the UTEE. While that is melting, completely cover your rubber stamp with VersaMark Watermark Ink. This will prevent the UTEE from sticking to the stamp so it is very important that you cover it properly!

Pour the melted UTEE on a heat proof, non stick craft mat and immediately press your rubber stamp in it.

Remove the stamp and allow to cool.

Now color it any way you choose. I used Pebeo Patinating Wax in King Gold. Other options would be metallic paint, Gelatos or Distress Crayons. Anything that is very pigmented would do.

Mount it on cardstock using Golden Heavy Gel.

Your are done! Look at that beautiful masterpiece!

Thank you so much for stopping by. I do hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Remember to subscribe so you don't miss a post and look us up on social media (links below).

Happy crafting!

Inspiring Creativity Mixed Media Art Journal Pages

Hello all

I am back with a quick idea using the one of the new stamps released this month. This gorgeous background stamp is called Dare to Dream and i also used the Scribble Daisy Background stamp both of these are available in May's releases. 

Paint the pages with gesso to stop the paint bleeding through to the page.

Paint the pages with a pale yellow acrylic Then allow to slightly dry before adding a light orange acrylic paint over the top.

Blend the colours a little before drying off fully.

Stamp the Scribble Daisy Collage Background stamp over the pages in embossing ink. 

The background does not have to come out perfect and it adds to the grungy look.

Sprinkle on orange embossing powder and once it has melted, allow to fully set before adding the Dare to Dream stamp.

Colour in sections with watercolour paints and once dry, take the Creativity word stamp and randomly stamp bits of it onto the pages. Finish off the page by adding a few sentiments.

Thank you for visiting

Old Fashioned Love

Hello BPM Fans! Mercy here with a blast from the past of sorts.  As a fan of all things vintage, this project really was something that allowed me to use Victorian inspiration (and my stash!) to create a card for Mother's Day.

Supplies:

Love Word Rubber Stamp

Corner Curvy Flower Stamp

4 Small Red Roses

Black Pigment Ink

Black Embossing Powder

Page Corner Rounder punch

Alcohol Ink Pens in green, purple, orange, & red

Tim Holtz Alterations Sizzix 3D Impresslits -Scallop

Yellow Dylusions Spray Ink

Red Glossy card stock

Velum with decorative star bursts

Purple A6 Greeting Card blank

White Cardstock postcard (4.5" X 6.5")

Instructions:

1. Stamp the corner curvy flower stamp, centered on the top of the card (right up against the edge) with pigment ink, corner pointing up.  Rotate the card 180 degrees, add a corresponding corner stamp facing the first stamped one like a mirror, placing that one centered up against the edge of the card.

 2. Stamp the "Love" stamp with the pigment ink in the center.

3. Pour black embossing powder across the card and heat emboss.

4. Spray a few spritzes of the Dylusions Yellow ink across the card. Leave some of the white cardstock showing.

5.  On either scrap paper or on other white cardstock, stamp and emboss in black embossing powers a few more "Love" stamps.  Color those in red and one in purple.  Fussy cut each letter out from the scrap ones.

6. Color the rest of the flowers/vines. Glue roses to be just above and below the "Love" stamp in a square (in my case, I ended up spray dying white roses I had to red). Using foam tape, layer the letters over the base "Love" to add more dimension.

7. Using the Tim Holtz 3d Impresslits border, emboss four strips of the glossy red card stock.  Cut those down to wrap around the postcard base. Glue them to create a border around the stamped image.

8. Mount a 5X7 cut of the velum to the card base.  Once that is mounted, use foam tape to glue down to the velum card, centered.  Use a page rounder to trim the edges.

9. Add a note or greeting to the inside of the card. 

This project is definitely themed to fit for a variety of holidays and reasons to create.  Changing out the messaging on the inside of the card is key towards versatility.

Vision Art Tag

Our DT Sharon has a quick make tag for you today!

Yes - we know she has a slight obsession with making art tags but she does share lots of ideas for using all of our fabulous range of stamps!

Sharon's tag background was made using chalk paints "finger painted" on and the wording stamp from the "Correspondence" Stamp Set which she embossed with gold powder.

She used one of the fab stamps designed by Rick St Dennis "French Pierrot" as the focal image which was stamped onto kraft card with brown ink and fussy cut.

To finish she added some braid to the top of the tag along with a mask charm and "vision" wording.

We love the soft tones of this tag!

Alcohol Ink Panels

 Hi everyone! Charlotte here, and today I am sharing a card using alcohol ink paneling. My aim was to make a clean and simple design with a slight steampunk feel.

Blank Page Muse products used:
Ribbon Lacing Corset 

(Shop now and save! Use code BPMDtCharlotte2019 to save 15% off your total order!)

Other materials:

White card base

Black card

Alcohol ink card

Alcohol inks in Coral and Sunset Orange

Alcohol blending solution

Air puffer

Gold foil

Paper trimmer

Vellum

Embossing ink

Black embossing powder

Stamp positioned or acrylic block

Heat gun

Liquid glue

Foam tape or squares, preferably black
Scissors

Instructions:

Begin by sprinkling Coral alcohol ink randomly onto the alcohol-ink cardstock. Add drops of Sunset Orange sparingly, and alcohol ink blending solution as required. Use an air puffer to move the ink around as desired. Continue working in layers until the preferred look is achieved.

Allow the ink panel to dry for a moment until there are no wet areas but still some tacky areas. Press a piece of gold foil onto the panel, and gently rub.

Carefully peel up the foil. If any areas appear tacky but have not taken the foil, press it back down and tub into those areas. Once the panel is ready, use a paper trimmer to trim three narrow rectangles from the panel. Keep the remains of the panel for a future project. Mat each of the rectangles onto some black card.

Using embossing ink stamp the ribbon laced corset onto a piece of vellum. Coat with black embossing powder and heat set. Fussy cut the stamped image out. Place very narrow pieces of foam tape behind the embossed areas of the corset.
Use liquid glue to adhere each of the matted alcohol ink panels to the card base, slightly staggering them to create flow across the card. Remove the backing from the foam tape on the corset and pop it up overlapping two panels.

I hope you enjoyed my blog post! Alcohol inks are really fun to create with and can give some really stunning backgrounds, especially when combined with foil. I hope you'll give it a try, and I'd love to see what you make!
