Creative Ways of Using a Stencil

Hello! Welcome back to the BPM blog. Today's project is about how to extend the use of stencils. I also created a DIY stencil which might interest you. Best of all, while my craft supplies are out, I was able to create a bonus card. 

 

I am using several Blank Page Muse products on this card:

• Blocks Pattern stencil
  
• Butterfly Breezes clear stamp set
  
• You Make Me Happy clear stamp set

I used the stencil as follows:

1. I applied Deco Transfer Gel over the stencil for foiling.
2. I pounced Versamark ink over the stencil for embossing.
3. I traced the open areas of the stencil so I can color it with glitter and metallic pens.
4. I traced the open areas of the stencil and doodled some diagonal lines on it.
5. I used the stencil for embossing to add an impression on the gold vellum.

Foiling, Heat Embossing, Coloring, Doodling using a Stencil

For the DIY stencil, I stamped extra two flowers on scrap cardstock. I fussy cut the flower on one of the stamped images, and I fussy cut the flower center saving this piece and both negative cuts. I used these pieces so I can blend the ink to the stamped flowers giving it a more softer look compared to flowers colored with markers.

Since I have a left over piece of the stenciled panel (which I did not want to put to waste), I cut this left over piece into several pieces to create a frame for another card.

I hope you like today's card. If you have another way of using a stencil, please make a comment so I can also try it out. Please visit my blog, Maria Giselle's Creative Cuts, for card details.

Welcome by the Blank Page Muse Blog today, everyone.  It's your stamping friend, Karen Letchworth, here today sharing a bright and FUN card with you that features the Pam Bray Scribble & Scratch Mixed Media 2 Stamp Set.  This gorgeous stamp set was used on the background as well as for the flower and leaves.  The Blessings sentiment is found in the Fall Rubber Stamp Sheet by Pam Bray.

Isn't it AWESOME that ONE stamp set can make this FUN card?  And to be honest, I haven't even used all of the cool stamps in this amazing stamp set.  It's truly a great one with endless possibilities.  Blank Page Muse has SO many great stamps to help your creativity.  I just LOVE that fun background stamped in bright colors.  I'll be using that again and again for sure.

Only the sentiment (Blessings) is from a separate stamp set which is the Fall Rubber Stamp Sheet by Pam Bray.  You can read complete details and see additional photos, etc. here on my blog, My Cup Runneth Over.  I also hope you'll take time to visit these great spots for further inspiration.

Paper Doll Dream!

Hi Stamping Fans

 Happy New Year! Can you believe it's now 2024? Time flies!

Hope one of your new year's resolutions is to make more creative time for yourself!

Today I'm sharing a journal page using some of the fabulous "clear" stamps available in store - have you seen them? Lots to choose from and a great range of little "planner" stamps for those of you who love to decorate your diaries!

I've used these items for my "arty doll" page today:

Whatever is Good Dreamer Art Doll 1 Set by Pam Bray

Sweet Passion 6 x 6 Paper Pack by Pam Bray

Dots & Spots Stencil by Donna Gray

Hearts Stencil by Magda Polakow

I used collage paper from my stash and paint for the background along with patterned stamps from the clear stamp set. 

I stamped the "corner" stamp and main doll image onto patterned paper from the Sweet Passion paper pack - just love the pink colours!

I used a "head" from a Tim Holtz paper doll and adhered to the paper doll.

I adhered all the stamped paper to the journal background and stamped the "dream" word onto the page.

Some splatters and a page border to finish off!

Check out my blog for more inspiration!

A Visit from the North Pole

 Merry Christmas!   I hope Santa came to visit you!
Today I am sharing this cute North Pole Holiday card using one of my favorite holiday stamp sets. 

This card features  the North Pole Holiday Line Art Rubber Stamp Set by Rick St Dennis from Blank Page Muse. These images are so fun to color!  And would even be perfect to stamp and leave for a younger recipient to color. 

Stamp by stamping your image onto your stamping card stock.  I chose to use archival inks because I love to color with watercolor markers and a water brush. 

Start by coloring your image with your watercolor marker and a water brush. This create a lighted muted color. You can see the light greys in the sign and the light brown in the bear. 

I decided I wanted some bolder colors in my image as well. To create the bolder colors I used my markers directly on the paper with no water brush. You can see the difference in the colors on the image. 

Finish coloring your image as desired. Double matte your stamped image as shown and adhere to your card base. Finish your card with a few adhesive gems and a sticker greeting. 

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.

A Merry Pink Christmas

Hello! Welcome back to the BPM blog! We are one day close to the big day. The hustle and bustle of the holidays are almost done. In behalf of the BPM team, we all wish you a Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays! 

Today's card is a Christmas card using a non-traditional Christmas color which is pink. I hope you like it.

I used BPM Beyond the Border Christmas set on this card. 

I used the snowflake border for the background. It was repeatedly stamped and embossed. 

I stamped the trees with the leaf garland border stamp from the stamp set. I used a sticky ink to stamp this repeatedly. I pounced some pearl powder to the inked impressions.

I did the same technique for the snow slope. I used the oval garland border stamp from the stamp set. 

I hope today's project inspires you.

Hugs - Stamping and Stencils

Hi there, stamping friends.  It's Karen Letchworth posting today, and I have a FUN all-occasion card to share with you.  What I absolutely LOVE about the Pam Bray Special Day - Birthday Hugs Stamp Set is that it has the best (4) sentiments and the most amazing (5) images that allow you to make awesome Birthday cards as well as all-occasion cards like this one.

This card also uses the beautiful Butterfly Trails Stencil.  I moved (re-positioned) the stencil with each color change.  This lovely circle stencil is a great one to have on hand for creating quick and easy backgrounds that really look great.  You can read further details about my card on my blog, My Cup Runneth Over.

As you can see, combining just this one amazing Stamp Set from Blank Page Muse with this one FAB Stencil from Blank Page Muse allowed me to quickly and easily create a card with texture, color and beauty.  I hope you'll visit Blank Page Muse, I Brake for Stamps, and these great spots for inspiration:
