Easter Egg Ribbon Card

 With Easter just around the corner, you can easily create just the right greeting or table setting cards with this easy tutorial! 

Tissue Paper Transfer Cards

One of my favorite things to do when creating cards, is to use common household items!

I love showing people that you don't need to spend much money to making something beautiful.

Ready? Lets create!  

Supplies used:

• Petals and Flowers By: Michelle Frae Cummings
• Medallions Ornate Patterns By: Michelle Frae Cummings
• Ink pads in coordinating colors
• White gift wrap tissue paper
• Saran or plastic wrap
• 2 large pieces of parchment paper
• A iron set to cotton, no steam
• A heat proof surface
• Cardstock paper 

1. Your tissue paper will have 2 sides. A slightly glossy side and a matte side. Place the tissue paper matte side up onto a large piece of card stock. The card stock will absorb any excess ink while you are stamping. 

2. Randomly stamp all over the tissue paper, with the various stamps and coordinating ink pad colors.

3. When you have finished stamping, Place one piece of parchment paper onto the heat proof surface. 

4. Next place your card fronts. If you don't have room for more than 2 cards, consider making a bookmark or small tags instead of wasting the tissue paper! 

5. Carefully lay down the plastic wrap over the cards. Its ok if there are few wrinkles in the wrap- you won't see them in the end.

6. Lay your stamped tissue paper onto the plastic wrap. It doesn't matter the its matte or glossy side up.

7. Lastly, place the 2nd piece of parchment paper on top of the stamped tissue paper.

8. Quickly iron over the parchment paper. Make sure to get all the card corners. 

9. Remove the parchment paper and trim off the excess tissue paper and plastic wrap from the cards. 

10. Trim the cards slightly to fit on a card base. 

11. For good measure, before finishing your cards, sandwich your trimmed cards in parchment paper and iron quickly to set any loose areas. 

12. Adhere to your card blanks and then create some more! 

So much fun, right?

Winged Skeleton Halloween Card

Hi Everyone, Michelle here with a card to portray my favorite Holiday...Halloween!

I know it's late, but I could not resist. I hope you'll enjoy and be inspired to create your own!

 Supplies:

• Winged Skeleton and "Dead men Tell No Tales" from Halloween Bingo Stamp Set
• Dew and Diamond drops
• Vintage news print
• Scrapbook Paper
• Assorted washi tapes
• Pumpkin Smooch
• precision scissors
• Black stamping ink
• Adhesive, foam tape, and a pen.

Start by trimming your scrapbook paper to be a card size of 4"x6".

Next attached several torn pieces of the vintage news print. 

Place some decorative washi tape in the center of the card and some pleat a bit near the bottom.

A few more strips of washi tape were placed on the card before I added decorative detail with the liquid smooch.

Stamp the winged skeleton and the saying onto the back side of the vintage newsprint paper. 

Cut out and color lightly with the smooch.

 I added a criss-cross of washi tape to the center of the card before adding the skeleton with foam tape.

Decoratively add the dew drops and saying.

Happy Halloween! 

-Michelle

Glittery Owl Thank You Card

Hi Everyone!
This is my first post of the year for Blank Page Muse, formerly Sin City Stamps.
Every month on the 10th, all the Inspiration team members will participate in group blog hop.
Each month, the hop has a theme.
The theme for this months hop is Turquoise, silver and sparkle!

For my project, I made up this glittery, shimmery owl card.
Enjoy!

Supplies:

• Blank Page Muse Stamps- Nothing But Owls  (My stamps!)
• Blank Page Muse Stamps-  Medallions  (My stamps!)
• Blank Page Muse Stamps-  Thank You 

 

• Blank card plus white cardstock cut to size of card.
• Ink pads- Turquoise, Pink, Purple and Black
• Make-up sponges
• Inka Gold- Turquoise, Violet and Silver
• Tsukinko Champagne mist ink
• Glue pen and water brush
• Glitter and bling
• Black pen

1. Ink the cardstock square using the make up sponge and turquoise ink. 

2. Ink the card edges.

3. Use the sponge to add pink onto one side of the card, follow up with the purple ink.

4. Use the sponge to ink the card edges in some purple.
5. Use the water color brush to add the turquoise and violet inka gold to the card.

6. Stamp the Medallion with each color ink onto the card. 

* To create the 'fading' effect, once I stamped the image with fresh ink, I stamped again elsewhere on the card with what ever ink was still on the stamp, this created a 'faded' effect.*

7. Repeat the same process with the Thank You stamp. 

8. Use the black ink pad to stamp your Owl and Branch.

9. Accent Owl and Medallions with the silver inka gold.

10. Refresh some outlines with the black pen if desired.

11. Adhere the painted card to the front of your blank card. 

12. Accent the border of the card with champagne mist ink.

13. Finish your card with glitter and bling!

Don't like glitter? Here's another version of the same card!
