The Blank Page Muse Live Love Laugh Tag

Hello all

I have a tag to share using the new stamps by The Blank Page Muse.

Take a blank tag and apply acrylic paint to the tag base with a makeup sponge

Use texture stamps to add a few extra layers to the base.

Stamp out the flowers and colour them in with watercolour paints. 

Cut them out and cluster them together on the tag.

Use 3D foam pads to raise them up a bit so that they layer together easier.

Add a sentiment to the center

Decorate with lace and ribbon to finish

Craft Consortium Herbarium mini album

Hello all

I have a mini album to share using the new Herbarium Collection by Craft Consortium. I have a flip through video to share too.

Products used

Vintage Emporium

Gypsy Gypsy

The Herbarium 12 x 12 paper pad

The Herbarium Clear Stamp Set Utensils

I used a die to cut out the pages.

The Postcards are from the Vintage Emporium Paper pad and Gypsy Gypsy Pad.

I just cut them out and used them as pockets or to mount photos onto.

I created the clips by using little tag and bunting dies. I just cut them out of paper scraps,Then added lace and gems. I folded the paper over the paper clip and added pva glue to hold it. 

I used the stamps to create a planner clip. I stamped it out onto thick card so it was more sturdy.

I made a pocket using wide lace trim. 

It is just glued into place with pva glue.

Fallout Themed Altered Bottle Caps Nuka Cola, Nuka Quantum and Sunset Sarsaparilla.

Hello all

I am back with another set of props from the game Fallout. The various games use a few different currencies to trade goods and caps are one of the main currencies from the series whether they be Nuka Cola or Sunset Sarsaparilla. 

DecoArt Multi-Surface Paint in Red Hot,Dark Scarlet,Cobalt,and True Blue.
Bottle caps
Sand paper
Caps print out
Circle punch 1.5 inch
Strong glue Best Glue Ever
You can find all the caps printouts here https://www.deviantart.com/emptysamurai/art/Sunset-sarsaparilla-caps-202580432

Print out the caps using this sheet.

 I sanded the caps with sandpaper and then used DecoArt multi-surface paints.

I used two shades of red for the Nuka Cola and Sunset Sarsaparilla caps. This is so you get a grungy layered look when you sand back a bit of the paint.

I used a 2inch circle punch to get the tops of the caps round. I the sanded them down a little to distress them.

I used a mixture of Tim Holtz Vintage Photo and Tea Stain to get the grungy look.

These are from Fallout New Vegas

Craft Consortium Hackney & Co Wildflower Meadow Mixed Media ATC Set

Hello all

I have a set of ATCs made using the new Wildflower Meadow collection from Craft Consortium. 

Start off by covering the ATCS with gesso and then spray over the top with lime green, Blue and pink mist sprays. Allow one colour of ink to dry before spraying on the next colour.

Next add some stamping around the background.

Cut up pieces of lace, material and even dry baby wipes before spraying with ink and gluing onto the ATC.

Experiment with the layers until you are happy with them before gluing down.

Stamp out the insects from the Wildflower meadow stamp set and the mushrooms from the Winter Woodland set. Colour them with ink and then cut them out once the ink has dried.

Place the pieces onto the ATCS and once stuck down, decorate with gems and sequins.

The Blank Page Muse March Challenge Spring Butterflies ATCs

Hi All

I am back with a new challenge and tutorial for The Blank Page Muse Team. All links and challenge rules are posted below and on the team blog.

Visit us on the 10th of each month and the crazy creative Muse Team will have loads of inspiration to share, each with projects following a theme. Each project will have a link to the Muse's blog for more details. Come back throughout the month as we share more fun and creative ways to play with your rubber stamps!

Start off by coating the blank ATCs with gesso and then adding layers of different inks. Allow each layer to dry before adding another colour to prevent it going muddy.

Next stamp a few background stamps onto the ATCs

Take a sheet of white card and stamp out a few butterflies from the Make A Wish stamp set. Colour them in using inks to create a watercolor look. 

Apply crackle paint onto the ATCs and then add another layer of ink once it has set.

Add dry wall tape to this ATC and then glue down the butterflies.

This one is similar but with resin flowers and buttons.

The last ATC i added burlap and thread.

Goofy Sweary Unicorn Greeting Card For Adults

Hi all

I have an inappropriate greeting card for you all today.

I used the Ice Cream Unicorn By Bloobel which you can buy for $1 by clicking the image below. 

Sentiment is available here

The base of the card was created with a Gelli Plate which i have dusted off and spent a whole afternoon messing with. It was like those days in school where you create a giant mess and then take it home to show mum. Only this time i have a better understanding of how colours work.

I used a stencil on the Gelli Plate with white paint to create highlights which sort of worked but i may need more practice.

I used an alphabet background stamp with the worn grid stamp around the edges and stamped a few around the card allowing the ink to fade a little. 

I somehow resisted the urge to add glitter.

i used a mixture of paints and marker pens to colour the image. I got the sorbet look by mixing Rose Red Brusho Crystal Powders with White Gesso.

Kori Kumi Far Away Tag Shaker Card

Hi all

I have another shaker card to share using the Kori Kumi collection.

I used a tag nesing dies and just placed a smaller one inside a larger sized die. Fix them in place with washi tape and then cut out one from paper and one from craft foam. You can cut extra foam pieces if you want a deeper box. Next cut out the largest die from paper and then again from acetate. Glue the craft foam frames to the base and fill it up. Then glue the acetate top on and the paper frame over the top.

I used an embossing folder on the top part of the card and navy blue paper on the bottom.

The characters are cut out of one of the 8 x 8 sheets.
