Easy Colourful Birthday Cards!

  Hi Stamping Fans!

Hope you have all been enjoying the creations this month! the DT have made some great projects for your inspiration!

Today I have some cards inspired by an online art journal class I did last month.

I've used Lindy's magicals to create the shiny coloured strips on the cards.

Here are the supplies I used and links to them in store:

You Make Me Happy Hummingbird Clear Stamp Set

Butterfly Breezes Clear Stamp Set

Numbers & Flowers Half Sheet Set

Steampunk Circus Stamp Set

Honey Bee Honeycomb Stencil by Miss Rach

These cards are really easy! Cut some strips of watercolour paper and use whatever you have on hand to colour them - I used Lindy's Magicals - you could use watercolours, any ink sprays you have - delve into your stash!

Once dry stencil with black paint - lots of stencils in store you can use for this step! I used the "dots" from the Numbers & Flowers half set to add a few spots of black to the coloured strips.

Stamp your images on watercolour paper and colour with Lindy's Magicals or whatever you used for your strips then fussy cut.

Add some white outlines and paint splatters along with your stamped images and your cards are done!

Thanks for joining me today - make sure you pop back regularly to see what the rest of the DT are creating!

Happy stamping!

Sharon

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.

Journal Ephemera!

 Hi Stamping Fans!

Hope you are all getting in some creative time! I've been busy working in my journals which seems to be my go to creative outlet at the moment!

So today I am sharing some quick little word and image ephemera for adding to your journal pages or you could also use them on cards and tags - whatever you want!

All supplies available in store:

Colour me Perfect Art Doll by Pam Bray

Whatever is Good Dreamer Art Doll by Pam Bray

Butterfly Breezes Set

Special Day Sentiments by Pam Bray

Masquerade Paper Pad by Pam Bray

Cyan Consortium Paper Pad by Pam Bray

I've used word stamps and small image stamps from the clear stamp sets - any words and small stamps will word from any of the huge range of stamps available in both stores!

I love the 6 x 6 paper pads by Pam Bray - I cut strips and layered them on double sided sticky paper - makes it quick and easy and less mess than glue! Plus when you cut out your pieces you can just peel off the backing and stick straight on your project!

Hope you have fun with this quick little project! We would love to see what you create so remember to tag us on social media or make sure you have joined our Facebook group so you can share your creations!
