Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers - T is for Tags!

June 20th 2022

I haven't created anything for awhile so I thought I would pop over to the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Blog and see what their current theme was as I love entering their challenges and love their themes!

I created this mixed media "Love" themed tag using some corrugated tag as the tag base along with paint, muslin cloth, other bits and pieces - great to use up some odds and ends in my stash!!

Main focal image by Xquizart @Etsy - fun printable collage elements.

I Brake For Stamps/Blank Page Muse Stamps: It's Never Just Black or White

June 16th 2022

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.

Blocks Pattern Stencil

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.

I Brake For Stamps/Blank Page Muse Stamps: Welcome New Baby!

April 17th 2022

Some quick kraft cards to make for a new baby - boy or girl or both! You could also adapt these for Baby Shower invitations! Pop over to the IBFS Blog and BPM Blog for lots more fabulous inspiration from the Design Team!

For those of you who know my style you know I love to use kraft card for stamping - always an effective look and if you don't have time for colouring you still get a fantastic looking card!

I used kraft base cards. I stamped the focal images on kraft card and fussy cut. I used ink sprays to colour some muslin cloth and then arranged all the elements directly onto the card with an added safety pin embellishment!

Blank Page Muse: Feeling Colourful!

March 12th 2022

My latest creations using stamps and stencils from Blank Page Muse which I am also linking up to the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Blog for their "V is fir Vibrant" theme!

I wanted to create my own textured background card to use for multiple projects so I had fun with paint, embossing powders and stamps to cover an A4 piece of card. If you pop over to the BPM Blog you can find the links to the stamps and stencils used which are available in store!

I used the background card to cut squares with my sizzix dies to use as the background interest on my completed cards. Love that I have lots of this card left over to create ATC's and ATCoins!

I stamped Perfume Bottles and sentiments onto textured paper with pink ink and fussy cut to add with the "quirky" collage gals available at the Itkupilli Etsy Store.

I layered the sizzix cut squares and used my sewing machine to add some "fanciness"!!! I arranged all the elements and adhered to the base card. Perfect Birthday cards for a trendy funky gal!

Remember if you use the code BPMSharon at the store checkout you can save 15% on your stamp order - what better excuse do you need to go check out the huge range and nab some rubber stamps to create with! AND remember you can also use this code for discount at the "I Brake for Stamps" store as well!

Blank Page Muse Stamps: Feel Like Having a Purple Day?

February 17th 2022

A couple of altered index cards using stamps from Blank Page Muse - Click Here to find the links to the stamps and stencils I used!

I've teamed the stamps with collage gals by Xquizart - available at Etsy!

The backgrounds were quick to make - I started by stamping onto a painted gelli plate and pulling a print on the index card. I have lined index cards - I like the lines showing through for extra depth and interest!

I used stamps and stencils and inks to stamp/stencil over the printed card. I created a border around the edge of the cards with embossing ink and sparkly embossing powder.

I then added the collage gals and embellishments to finish off - would work great for making greeting cards too!

Blank Page Muse Stamps: Love U xxx

February 12th 2022

Sharing a creation for Blank Page Muse Stamps! If you pop over to the BPM Blog you can see the list and links to stamps used for this journal page!

Here's a quick outline of how I created my page!

I started by stamping the large alphabet letters onto kraft card and fussy cut.

Next I chose a range of stamps to create some patterned tissue paper to use on the background of my page!

I used gel medium to adhere torn pieces of my patterned tissue paper to the page background and allowed to dry.

I used gelato watercolour crayons to scribble around the border of the page - spritzed with water and smooshed with my fingers!

I then arranged and adhered my large fussy cut stamped letters and collage image - available from this Etsy Store: Xquizart - perfect gal for my "love" themed page!
