Admit One!

 Hi Stamping Fans!

Today I am sharing some tags made with some leftover "masterboard" card. I made this at an art journal class I attended here in Australia - I love making background papers with paint, stencils and stamps!

I used stamps available in store on this piece of card - there are so many great little stamps to choose!

And the focal images n the tags are some fabulous vintage style stamps - perfect for small projects and adding interest to anything!

Here are links to a few I used but really there are endless choices in the stores:

Diamond Border by Pam Bray

Background Grunge Set by Pam Bray

Ornate Medallions by Michelle Frae Cummins

And for the focal images these vintage style stamps:

Photobooth Girl in Dotted Dress

Photobooth Portrait of a Woman

Admit One Ticket Stubs

Spare 38 39 40 41 Pattern Art

Home Décor with Stencil Butters

 Hello again from design team member, Heidi!

I am making more projects with the Stencil Butters that are available in the Blank Page Muse store.  Part of this post will be me playing around with them and then I will use a couple of the backgrounds for projects.  

The first thing I did was to stencil over some of the Pam Bray patterned papers.  These papers are definitely thick enough to stand up to the stencil paste.  I really liked the nice opaque coverage. 

I then stenciled some of the apricot colored paste of the paper bag my order came in.  I messed up and a bunch got under the edge of the stencil.  So I went over it again with a metallic gold paste.  This one looks really cool in person and I plan to use it!

As I was going along, I randomly was using some excess paste onto scrap paper (this is the back of an order sheet, so just regular copy paper).  It was looking like this in the end, so I decided to thin out some of the red paste and just paint over the top. (This is one of the neat things about the paste, you can watercolor with it!) I wiped the excess off with a wipe and the parts that were dry resisted the paint and I think this is the coolest background.  You can see the result in the finished piece below.

The top piece is a home décor item that I finished using Ephemera from Pam Bray’s Masquerade line. 

The stamps for the finished card are from the Woodland Stamp set and Petals and Flowers stamp set, both in the Blank Page Muse shop.

I hope this gave you and idea of some different ways to use your stencil butters!  I will be back with more ideas another day.  Right now, I ‘d better go clean off my craft desk!  Have a great day!

Petals & Flowers Birthday Card

  Hello from design team member, Heidi!  

I love this stamp set with what my mom would call the “pieces-parts” of flowers.  They are so fun to mix and match.  I have to tell you, I sat down to make a spring garden-style card, but what I ended up making was a sort of rich fall color medallion!  
Oh well, that is how creativity seems to work!

My background was made with distress oxide inks for the base shade, and then I pulled a print from my gelli plate over an old stencil.  

Over top, I stamped directly with the large flower outline, and then used foam tape to built up the flower center.  I kind of went crazy with the glitter glue in gold and iridescent glitters.  I don’t use glitter often but I do like glitter glue since it stays put!

The stamps can be found in the Blank Page Muse or I Brake for Stamps stores.  I will link them below.
