Digital Card Making

 Hi Fans!


Today I am sharing a little booklet made using pages from the *NEW* "Self Care" Digital Journal Set available at the BPM Etsy Store!

Digital files are great to create with - you can resize them, print on your fave paper or cardstock and have lots of fun!



I've printed pages from the set onto cardstock, distressed the edges, "aged" the edges with distress ink, punched holes along the spines and assembled as a little "Self Care" booklet to carry n my handbag!
Great for notes, thoughts or just getting your frustration down on paper and out of your head LOL!!!


These pages print beautifully, nice and clear and I love the soft colors of this set!


Digital files are great to use in conjunction with your stamps and stamped images so stay tuned I have some more digi ideas to share with you!

Stained Glass Flowers Card

 Hello from design team member, Heidi.  The I Brake for Stamps shop has a wonderful selection of Stained Glass stamps.  I decided to use this one today because the diamond shape really caught my eye!



I heat embossed the stamp with white powder on watercolor paper.  I then colored in the sections with Tombow water-based markers.  I then blended the color, section by section, with a paintbrush dipped in water that I had mixed with Perfect Pearls.  It is really obvious in person, but only the close-up photo shows the lovely shimmer!  

I was in a bit of a traditional mood, so I finished off the card with old patterned papers from my stash and some gems.  

This stamp is part of MS89 Full Plate, along with 8 other images, in the I Brake for Stamps shop.  The sentiment is from Quarter Sheet Dahlia.

Thanks for visiting today and have a wonderful day!

A Little Birdie Told Me...

 Hello from design team member, Heidi.   I love birds, in fact, I was just out at a park looking at them.  So many cute baby birds, learning the ropes, this time of year!  So I always am drawn to the great bird stamps!


This card using stamps from three different sets that I will link below.  The bird and branch were stamped in brown ink and colored in with pencils and markers.  The blue circle behind them is die cut from my sheet of paper that I brayered all the extra acrylic paint on when I was doing some gelli prints.  Finally, the background was done with a stencil and the shaving cream/re inker technique.  They all happened to get pulled together with the stamps!

Bird Sheet 141A and Bird Sheet 141B (From I Brake for Stamps shop)

I hope you might be inspired to mix and match your stamp sets!  Have a wonderful day!
