Ring File for One Line Sentiments ~ Tutorial

Hi guys!
I thought of another way to take
the One Line Sentiments by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps
 with you, without the stamps and the ink
  I showed you here  how to make a Folder File for 5
 colors of stamped out One Line Sentiments
 but what about a Ring File out of manila cardstock. 
Brown or black ink would be fab!!


I used 8 manila tags, the One Line Sentiments and Black ink. This
could be done with white cardstock too.


Step #1 ~ To get them all uniform stamp them out using a
stamping platform. 


Step #2 ~ Stamp each One Line Sentiment stamp set in your
choice of paper and ink.  You will have 7 sets. 


Step #3 ~ Add the cover (so stamped sentiments stay clean)
 and add "O" ring to keep them together.  This is just
another way to craft on the go with the
One Line Sentiments by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.
Thanks for stopping by~

See ya soon!!

Folder File for One Line Sentiments ~ Tutorial

Hi!
I have an idea to share using the One Line Sentiments by Blue
 Knight Rubber Stamps.
I thought it would be neat to have the One Line
   Sentiments already stamped out, in different inks and ready to travel
cause you never know when the mood will strike to create. 
 Anyway this is what I come up with ~ hope you make it!!




You make it with one sheet of pattern paper and the Extreme
Double Sided Tape by HomeHobby by 3L.
  This tape holds the sides
together ~ so important:):)


Step #1 ~ 12x12 sheet of pattern paper, score at 6" L and 8"W.
Circle punch the pocket before the sides are adhered down.


Step #2 ~ After you have scored the paper add the Extreme
Double Sided Tape to the sides of each pocket and down the
middle of the pocket, creating a pocket on each side of the folder. 
Next step, fold up and adhere.


Step #3 ~ Cut 35 4x6 white cardstock cards.


Step #4 ~ There are 7 sets of One Line Sentiments.  Stamp each
set in each color of ink.  You will have a red, navy, green, black
and brown. for each One Line Sentiments stamp.


Step #5 ~ Label each color set with a colored tab. Insert the sets
 in each side of the folder.  You now have all (7 sets) of the
One Line Sentiments stamped out in 5 different colors of
ink and they are all in one place.  They are ready to cut with
 scissors or a trimmer to add to a card front.  

Thanks for checking out the folder file for the
One Line Sentiments.

See ya soon~

All Things Are Possible by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps

Hi guys!
Today I'm sharing a couple cards from the
NEW RELEASE by Blue Knight Rubber
Stamps called All Things Are Possible
Very cool stamp! 


On these examples I used panpastels and a circle stencil set.
Very simple and easy technique.  I used the negative (circle stencil)
to reveal the center of the image.  That is what is colored in
 with panpastels on the first card. The second card the positive (circle stencil) 
to cover the part of the image that is not to be colored. 
Basically just reverse the stencil to get two different looks. The sentiments 
are stamped and embossed on black and white cardstock.  
A fun technique that can be used with all color mediums.

Three Circles Stencil by Darkroom Door~

 Hi guys!
Today I'm doing a project using the NEW
Small Three Circle Stencil by Darkroom Door.
I'm also adding in the Pen & Ink set and 
Layered Handwriting background stamp.  These
two stamps are from the last release and I
have been eager to create with them.  


The background is created using panpastels and the Layered
Handwriting background stamp. The ink is Archival/Cobalt.
The bird houses are created out of the Ink & Pen set.
I had fun making them.



The sun is created using the Three Circle Stencil.  I used the
negative of the stencil and erased a circle out leaving a circle.
Easy to do with panpastels, (they are erasable).




Small Three Circle Stencil makes a easy and beautiful sun or moon.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps ~ One Line Sentiments, An Art Journal Page.

Hi guys!
Today I'm sharing an Art Journal Page using the 
blessings./One Line Sentiments along with Peaceful Lake,
 Birds ll and 1 John 4 background stamp by Blue
Knight Rubber Stamps.
 


I love to create Art Journal pages and I continue to learn
from every page I create.  The words are so important when
adding them to an Art Journal spread.  When I was coming up 
with words I kept the Art Journal (not only cards) in mind.
I think the One Line Sentiments work really well with
mixed media projects. I'm hoping to
show you that~



The background is created using Distress Oxide ink and
he 1 John 4 background stamp (stamped in grey ink). I
started to build layers using stamps and stencils.


Peaceful Lake is stamped with Archival/Black Soot ink. Texture
paste and stencils are used to enhance and highlight the 
scene. 


I love mixing the One Line Sentiments sets together.  They 
were designed with that in mind.  To use them
TOGETHER..   They look fabulous together!

One Line Sentiments by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps ~ the "why".

One Line Sentiments
Blue Knight Rubber Stamps
designed by C. Mercer


The concept behind the design of these stamps was an easy one.
I wanted stamped sentiments (one liners) that I could
stamp out and have ready to add to projects, at my finger tips.
I could add several on one project. What ever the project called for.
  Words are just as important as the art work. I loved the idea of 
lower case with a period. 
With that being said they make beautiful cards using the
 stamp as a background.  I will be showing lots of examples done
both ways.  Fun creating with them.  
So here is a short step out of the process:  


Using a stamping platform to stamp out on.  I also used 
scrap white cardstock.  I liked the look of Versafine Clair
the best. Don't press hard just normal pressure.


I used the shears by Tonic (they have a long cutting blade) to cut
the one line sentiments apart.  You can also use a trimmer.
When you get ready to use them I use the 3D Foam strips 
to adhere the One Line Sentiments to the project.  You can also
use liquid glue.


I'm using this vintage desk organizer as my One Line
Sentiments sorter.  I will showing two more ways to 
organize and store the One Line Sentiments.



There are seven sets of the One Line Sentiments. You can mix 
the sets, depending on the words you want to use.
 
The sets are: 


blessings.
You can find them here.
