Silhouette Stamped Cards

 Hello from design team member, Heidi.  

I recently was playing with this set of stamps from the I Brake for Stamps store simply called Silhouettes #1.  It has a variety of old-timey, maybe Victorian silhouette images. I find them so charming!  I had out this set of watercolor-looking modern patterned papers, and I decided they were going to work together!  I think they did!


The sentiments are from Half Sheet 138B.

I simply stamped the images over top of the patterned paper.  Some I die cut and some I added a little sponged ink.   The green card was put over a background that I created with the flourish stamp in the set. 



The purple card was put over top of a watercolor background I had made with Shimmer Colorbursts. 


This last card I decided to make a mini Slimline card and the image was just the perfect size!  I also added some bakers twine as trim.


 So cute! I really like how these turned out!



It was fun to create several cards all at once using the same set!  Which one do you like best?

Happy Birthday Wishes

 Hi Everyone!

Today I am excited to share with you this floral card I created -



The stamped florals look so pretty on top of the Sweet Passion - Paper Pack 




Start by stamping with thelarge flower onto the masking papers.  Cut out your the flowers. 

Next, stamp the flower repeatedly over the plaid papers from the paper pack, using the flower masks you created earlier. 
The masks allow you to layer the stamps to create a dimensional design.
Use double stick tape to hold them in place while stamping.
Continue stamping until your entire background is filled up. 


Addd some highlights to the flowers using dimensional paint. Matte the stamped background onto your choice of paper from the paper pack and adhere to a card base. 

Stamp the Birthday greetings onto a strip of paper from the paper pack.


Adhere greeting strip to card. 

Finish your card by adding a punched butterfly. 

I hope you enjoyed this card and are inspired to get creative.

It's Never Just Black or White!

 HI IBFS Fans!

Today I'm sharing a mixed media art journal page combining products from IBFS and BPM!

To create my journal page background I used a stencil designed by DeadSeaToons and available at the BPM Store along with ink sprays, charcoal pencil & posca pens.


The main focal image of my page is a stamp available at the IBFS Store which I stamped onto an old book page covered with gesso.


***Remember to us the code BPMSharon at the store for 15% off ***
So many fab stamps to choose from!
Note: you can use the code at either the IBFS Store OR the BPM Store - why not do an order from each and increase your stash!


Pop over to My Blog and you can see all my stamping creations!

Larkspur Floral Card

  Hello from design team member, Heidi.

 I would love to share with you, this pretty floral stamp!

  The I Brake for Stamps store carries stamps that I call Flower of the Month Stamps.  This Larkspur is for July.  Each of the Flower of the Month stamps comes in a regular size and a Jumbo size.  


The stamp I used for this card is the regular size, but if you often make cards that are larger than A2, or if you like to fill up most of the card front, you may prefer the jumbo size as well.   

Both stamps can be found in the  HERE .


As I stamped and colored my image with alcohol markers, I did emphasize the flower centers with a white gel pen.  My background is a gelli print made with an embossing folder.  I didn’t put the sentiment on this card yet because I think it can be used for anything and I don’t yet know to whom I will send it.

Transparent Stamped Card

  Greetings!  Today I am excited to share this cool technique I discovered to create a "transparent" stamped image.  Now this may not be new but it was definitely new to me.  And all because I really wanted a wood grain birdhouse for my card but was too lazy to fussy cut the stamped image.  




To recreate this card you will need:


Start by stamping and embossing your Large Summer Time Birdhouse from I Brake for Stamps onto the wood grain paper from Sweet Passion 6x6 inch sheets Paper Pack designed by Pam Bray .  These papers are shiny which helps with this technique! (if papers were not shiny the inks would absorb much more into the paper and not look so transparent!) 


Color your image with Copics or other alcohol markers
You can just see how the "wood grain" shows through your colored image.  The image almost looks like stained glass!

Trim your image and add mat onto other papers from the Sweet Passion 6x6 inch sheets Paper Pack designed by Pam Bray

Add trimmed paper doilies to corners if desired!


I hope you are inspired to get creative with your stamps and papers from Blank Page Muse and I Brake For Stamps.
