This month our design team at Altered Pages is really excited to be partnering with Lost Coast Designs a rubberstamp company.    I must say I love the quality of their stamps.  Today I have decided to use the Lost Coast Designs Zentangle Feather #3 Stamp on several cards and tags.  Hopefully to inspire you to use one stamp with different techniques to get amazing results. I have stamped directly on a Gel Press Print, on vintage text, plain manila tags, misted a manila tag, torn text, and fussy cut a feather.     Lost Coast Designs Zentangle Feather #3 Stamp (above)  Here you can see the detail on the inked stamp!   All images were stamped using an Acrylic Block  with Black Ink  and heat embossed with Embossing Powder Black Supplies: Lost Coast Designs Zentangle Feather 3 Stamp Acrylic Block Altered Pages Vintage Birds Collage Sheet Sunshine in My Soul 8x8 Paper Pad...

Fine, yes, you already know we overdo Independence Day at our house, but at the risk of oversharing, here is yet another 4th of July party project.  These are practical AND fun, as they can serve as chalkboard buffet signs.  Plus, I had blue chalkboard paint in my stash, waiting to be used!  1.  Two coats of blue chalkboard paint on Foundations Décor Banner Circles.   2.  Red cardstock circles, cut to fit, with a little distressing and inking to the edges.  A ring of white eyelet added to the NOT painted side of the wooden circle, along with a red painted wooden skewer. Tacky Glue is perfect for this.  3.  Patriotic collage images, cut to (almost) fit inside the red cardstock circle, inked with some Mix'd Media Salazar Inx.   I attached the images with a  glue stick . Added a few Tacky Glued buttons for embellishment!  4.  Attach the red circle to the back of the mini chalkboard, making a l...
