Sharon's Showcase: 2023

Blank Page Muse: Easy Colourful Birthday Cards

October 18th 2023

Today I have some cards inspired by an online art journal class I did last month through my local store - fab class by Naomi Alchin!

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

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!

Blank Page Muse Stamps: Digital Creativity!

October 6th 2023

Today I am sharing some cards using digital files - yes you heard correctly there are some fabulous digital download products available in the store!

Here's the link to the Digital Section of the Store CLICK HERE

I'm using the "Fall Teal Flowers and Leaves" Set - the colours of this set are so gorgeous.

I've made 2 greeting cards - combining the digital images, red rubber stamps and clear stamps - perfect to show you how you can combine different items from the store on your creations!

Products used:

Fall Digital Files

Special Day Clear Sentiments Birthday Stamps Set by Pam Bray

Special Day Clear Sentiments Flowers Set by Pam Bray

Vintage Farm Receipt (red rubber)

Book Page (red rubber)

Digital files are great because you can print on different papers to get different effects! For my cards I printed the "tags" on plain white card and although they had some printed texture I also decided to use some the red rubber stamps listed above to add more interest to them - I used black ink on one and vintage brown on the other - love the different looks - you can use any ink colour depending on the theme you are creating!

I printed the leaves on glossy photo paper and fussy cut some out to add individually - the colours are so gorgeous - they "pop" on the glossy paper - the glossy paper would be perfect for using the whole image as a background.

I stamped sentiments from the clear stamp sets onto kraft card.

I added all the stamped elements to the card fronts and added some little Tim Holtz vintage people and bits & pieces to finish off . I love how these turned out!

Blank Page Muse/I Brake for Stamps: Wish it Dream it Do it!!!

Hi Everyone

Sharing my latest DT creation for BPM/IBFS:

I have another mixed media creation to share today in one of my journals.

I've used washi tape to make a background - I've used this technique before on my journal pages - washi and gesso vertically on the page in strips - this time I've used the washi horizontally after watching my local lady (where I go for classes!) create a journal page using washi.

Stamps and stencils used:

Fashionista Half Sheet

Small Diamonds Pattern Stamp

Cat Bowl Half Circle Stencil designed by Donna Gray

Cross Stitch X Stencil designed by Stephanie Eaton

Blank page Muse Stamps: Fantastic Plastic in Pink!!!

Hi Stamping & Crafting Fans

Hope everyone has been enjoying the crafting inspiration from the DT here at the Blog!

I've been making time for crafting lately and it has been great - even doing a few classes and an ATC swap which has inspired my post for today!

I love using acetate to make things and recently I participated in an Aussie swap Pink/Plastic themed ATC swap so I decided to make a few more using BPM stamps and accessories available in store!

To start I cut some thick acetate to ATC size and used shades of pink and gold alcohol ink - alcohol ink I've had for years and never used! I love the effects of the different colours moving and blending with each other!

Stamps used:

Correspondence Set by Katy Leitch - Script stamp

Lady with Butterfly Wings

Smile Winged Muse Stamp

Queen Word Stamp

Crown Stamp

I made the tags backgrounds with stencils, texture paste and Lindy's Magicals.

I then added Tim Holtz vintage "heads', some vintage ephemera, hessian, lace, acetate embellishments - they are a bit of a mix of vintage and modern which I love!
