Autumnal Season Cards

Hi everyone! 

It’s Emilie here. 
I’m showing you today two simple and quick cards for this autumnal season.

    

Both of my cards measure 4 ¼ x 5 ½ inches.

For the first card, I started to stamp the motif “Tree Rings” on two third of my card. I stamped on white cardstock the motifs “Dark Fern Leaf” and “Short Ginko Leaf” using respectively “Space moss” and “Black hole” Moonlight Duo Ink pads. Then I cut them out. 

Next, I arranged the way I wanted the motifs to be. Once I was happy with the placements of all my elements, I glued them down and stamped the sentiment “True Free Spirit”.

For the second card, I used a yellowish watercolor that I simply spread out for the background. Then I stamped the Artfoamies stamp “Marrocan Tile” with the same color. 

Next, I added text texture with the “Spark joy” stamp with a same color tone using “Sunshine yellow” Moonlight Duo Ink pad.

I chose this “fantasy flower” stamp for my focal image than I colored with watercolor and watercolor pencils.

Once again, I arrange all my elements before gluing them down.  I laid down first a piece of torn-edged vellum, a piece of light burlap and a piece of ribbon. I added some thread and stuck down my flower on top. At the end I added some yellowish watercolor splatters and stamped my sentiment “Sending you love and light”.

Have a great weekend and see you in December!

Vintage Photo Album

 

Hi everyone! 

It’s Emilie here. 

I’m showing you today how to make a simple "Vintage Photo Album". Making handmade books is one of my favorite things to do. This book is basic and can be used to store notes, birthdates, photos, quotes, etc…

I started to apply a coat of grey color acrylic paint on a 9x12 canvas sheet. I let it dry completely. This is going to be used as cover of the book.

Then I applied some off-white acrylic paint with a sponge through the “botanical backdrop” stencil designed by Kae Pea.

I added more texture by stamping first with some “Watering Can” (grey color) Archival Ink pad, staying in similar color tone, then with a bright green acrylic paint color. The stamps I used are “Handwritten Letter 1788”, “Twig Cross Section 1”, “Paris Cancellation”, “Simple Post Card” and “Spry Evergreen Branch” from 100 Proof Press. 

The next step was the preparation of my pages. I cut 3 sheets of cardstock (Beige color) in half to get 6 pieces of 8 ½ x 5 ½ inches. I scored each piece at 4 1/8, 4 ¼ and 4 3/8 inches. This is to give some flexibility to the pages. 

I embellished my pages by stamping “Dandelions” ArtFoamies stamps by Red Tin Roof with the white part of Moonlight Duo Ink pad first, then with “Watering Can” archival Ink. I just like the look of it.

I also stamped few pages with the 100 Proof Press stamps previously used and a new floral stamp called “Bouquet”.

For making the hinge of the book, I chose a “kraft” color cardstock. I cut my cardstock in half and stamped with two previous stamps from 100 Proof Press using again some archival ink. It gives a vintage look that I like. It is also a great way to make your own patterned paper. The reason why I cut my cardstock in half and used two different stamps is because I didn’t know which one I wanted to choose for my hinge at the beginning. Finally, I used the one with the floral pattern. I cut a piece of 2 x 5 1/2 inches and scored at 5/8 of a inch and 1 3/8 inches.

I cut 2 pieces of 4 1/8 x 5 ½ inches from my canvas sheet for the front and back cover. At that point I was not completely satisfied how the cover looked like so I added more stamping using again the “Dandelions” ArtFoamies stamps with a different green color.

The last part is the assembly of the book, see video below. 

Please be aware that my oral English is imperfect as it is not my birth language (I’m French). Nevertheless, the visual instructions are clear enough to follow along. 

Voila! 

The assembly instructions of the book I showed you today are really basic and simple. You can now let you imagination and creativity go to make your own. The possibilities are endless. 

Have a great weekend and see you next time!

"Stampy Fishes" Frame

 Hi everyone!

It’s Emilie here with you today.

 

I’m happy to share this frame showing off a scene of "Stampy Fishes". 

Let me show you how fun and easy is this project to make.

I started to apply a generous among of watercolor on my cold press watercolor paper with a wide flat brush.  Then I wet my “Fine Vine” foam stamp with only water and stamped it on my shiny (still slightly wet) surface leaving the foam stamp on the paper while applying a light pressure for 10-15 seconds. 

Kae Pea showed this technique during the World Watercolor Month challenge last month. I love this technique that allows getting a kind of “ghost” print look.

Then, I added some texture by stamping “Handwritten Letter 1788” and “Twig Cross Section 1” stamps from 100 Proof Press with some “Aurora Teal” Moonlight Duo Ink pad, staying in similar color tone but darker than the watercolor I used for bringing some contrast.

Next, I made my fishes tracing some different fish shapes on hot press watercolor paper. I used hot press watercolor paper because it is easier to get a crisp stamped impression.

Tip: If you want to use cold press watercolor paper I recommend using a stamping platform. It is the best way to get a crisp impression particularly on textured paper.

Then, I stamped inside the fishes with the stamps “Rosa” and “Mixed Media Hatch Marks” from Rubbermoon and “Twig Cross Section 2”, “Small Sprig with Leaves”, “Twig Cross Section 1” and “Spry Evergreen Branch” from 100 Proof Press. I used different stamps for the tail and body parts. As you can see possibilities are endless to decorate these cute fishes especially with your favorite Rubbermoon, 100 Proof Press and ArtFoamies stamps.

PS: I have to mention that I got the idea of making these fishes from a french artist named “Pinklola69” that I found on Instagram. I thought it was a great idea to share.

I chose to paint my fishes with watercolor and brought a touch of lightening with a white posca pen.

To finish it up, I glued down my fishes and added more stamping using the “Dot Maker” stamp and the three words “Cursive Create”, “Cursive Imagine” and “Cursive Inspire” stamps from Rubbermoon on top of each fish with some “Moonlight” VersaFine Clair ink pad (just a matter of color preference).
