Quick and Easy Fun Stamped Bookmark

Hello, Everybody Vishu here today, to share a Quick & Easy Fun Stamped Bookmark project with you all, made entirely using Ann Butler Designs Crafters Ink by Clearsnap and her 1″ Square Faux Quilting Stamps.

I am not ready to say good bye to summer yet but at the same time I love Fall cause its time for baking and curling up in a blanket and reading tons of books, so to get ready I made this quick & easy fun stamped bookmark to escape into different worlds…

So lets get started…

Step 1:

First I dabbed the different color inks on an acrylic block and sprayed it with water.

Step 2:

Stamp the acrylic block on a water color paper, keeping in mind to make a good impression and wait for the ink to get soaked in the paper.

Step 3:

This image alone makes for a interesting background, where you can play around with the colors to make it look different every time. Next, I laid out the 1″ square Faux Quilting stamps on my acrylic block and stamped it over the colorful background to create this fun stamped bookmark.

Step 4:

I cut out the bookmark and layered it on black card stock and another layer of watercolor paper as shown in the photo below. Then, I attached a ribbon and hand wrote “My Escape” for the final look.

I also created another background with a smaller acrylic block and I think I am going to use this one as a gift tag. This quick and easy fun stamped bookmark project would also make a perfect gift for the book lovers in your life.

DIY Stamped Gift Box

Hi Everybody! Vishu here today to show you how to make this DIY Stamped Gift Box using popsicle sticks colored entirely with Ann Butler Designs Crafter’s Ink from Clearsnap.

This is a great DIY stamped gift box for any occasion and can be easily customized to bring a personal touch to your gifts.

Without further adieu lets get started……………

Step 1:

Firstly to create this DIY Gift Box, I painted the popsicle sticks using Crafter’s ink. I needed 4 popsicle sticks in canyon and aquamarine for each layer of the box. Also , I created the base of the gift box.

Step 2:

Next, I painted the base of the box using Canyon ink, by simply applying the ink directly to the popsicle sticks. These inks work quick and easy on the wooden popsicle sticks.

Step 3:

Once the base was ready and dried, I stacked and alternated 4 of the canyon popsicle sticks and 4 of the aquamarine popsicle sticks for each layer. I simply glued each layer into a square, which made alternating them go quickly and easily, see photo below.

Step 4:

Now, I worked on the top piece of the box. which was pretty similar to the base except for I colored it with the aquamarine ink and stamped it using Ann Butler Design 1″ Faux Quilt stamps.

Step 5:

Lastly to finish up this DIY Stamped Gift Box, I attached the top on using ribbons so the box can be opened and closed. The final step was to embellish the top cover using rhinestones and mirrors.

I think that this DIY Stamped Gift Box turned out great, I might use it to gift my friend with some jewelry in it.

So how is everybody enjoying their summer?. This is a perfect Quick & Easy Mixed Media Canvas project for a hot summer day and perfect to brighten your walls.

Let’s get started…

Step 1:

Firstly, I used all the different colors Ann Butler’s Crafter’s Ink on the canvas, there are 12 of them to choose from:0). This is the first time I used ink pads to color the canvas and I have to admit I love this technique.

Step 2:

Then, I inked the lattice art screen using a brayer and made the impression on the canvas to create some depth and interest.

Step 3:

Using the lilac re-inker, I put some on the cutting mat and sprayed some water on the ink and then, I spattered the ink onto the canvas with a brush. Gives some more dimension to this quick & easy mixed media canvas project.

Step 4:

Now comes this really cool technique. I used some die cut paper flowers. Dabbed some berry ink on the cutting mat and sprayed a lot of water and then, I colored the paper flowers with the ink.

Step 5:

While the paper die cuts were still damp I crumpled the petals to give some dimension to the flowers and stacked the petals to put them together with a brad.

Step 6:

Finally, I embellished the canvas with metal embellishments, a frame and the flowers to finish off this FUN Quick & Easy Mixed Media Canvas.

So here are the steps on how to create this fun and quick Clean and Simple Stamped Card. There are lot of possibilities with this technique.

Step 1:

Now its a clean and simple card so the instructions are pretty simple too. First I placed circles at random locations. I used a die cut machine but you don’t have one you can use circle punches of different sizes too.

Die cut…

Step 2:

On my card base I placed the above yardstick and marked the location of my circles and then stamped using Ann’s Faux Quilting stamps Crafter’s Inks.

Step 3:

Next, I colored the top card stock with Crafter’s ink using a brayer. These ink pads are so juicy that you do not need a lot of ink on the brayer to color the card stock completely. I love this technique as I can get the exact shade of colored card stock I am looking for.

Faux Quilted Card with Bling

Hello Everybody! Vishu here today to share a fun Faux Quilted Card with Bling using Ann Butler Designs stamps, inks and rhinestone genie.

Instructions:

Step 1

Firstly, I stamped the 1″ square faux quilt stamps with Berry and Limelight ink onto white card stock and cut them out.

Step 2

Then, I created a frame, by gluing the stamped cut out images onto a piece of white card stock.

Now comes the fun part to bling it up for which I used the Ann Butler’s 1″ Quilt Square by Rhinestone Genie.

Step 3

Lay the pattern on the metal tray and spread the rhinestones with the brush. The rhinestones get nestled into the holes of the magnetic sheet and because it is magnetic it does not move. Once all the holes are filled move the access rhinestones in the corner of the tray. Then stick the sticky sheet over the top.

Step 4

Make sure to press the sticky sheet well over the entire pattern so all of the rhinestones adhere to the sheet.

Step 5

Place the the sheet exactly where you want it on the card.

Step 6

The final step to create a handmade card with Bling is to iron over the sheet. Iron for about a minute. Lift the sheet a little bit to make sure all the rhinestones stuck. This tool will give you perfect results every time as long as you follow the manufacturer’s steps.

Step 7

Pull the plastic sheet off and place it back on the backing paper as the sheet can be used multiple times.

Step 8

Trim and finish the card with a stamped sentiment and layer it on a card base to create this Faux Quilted Card with Bling.
