Day 2

Edgar Allan Poe Blog Hop

Classic pOe Frame Cards

by Leigh

 

It's Day 2 of our POE-tastic 8th annual Edgar Allan Poe Blog Hop and today I've got two handsome "pOe" Frame Cards to inspire you featuring my new Poe 2023 Collection and my Ode to Poe digi stamp.

 

 

To make my classic "pOe" cards I used 2 of the POE-tastic frame card sets included in my new ultimate "POE" Frame Cards SVG Cutz Set and all the background papers are from my new Classic Poe - Vintage Grunge Digi Art Paper Pack.

 

 

This "pOe" Frame Card is the large top fold card base included in the ultimate SVG Cutz set.

I imported the Ode to Poe digi stamp into Silhouette Studio and sized Poe's Portrait to fit inside the "O" frame and then used Silhouette's print and cut feature to print and cut it out.

 

I imported all 6 of the Classic Poe - Vintage Grunge Digi Art Papers into Silhouette Studio and then played around with the placement of all the SVG Cutz elements.  It was then easy to print the digi papers onto white cardstock and cut out all the Frame Card elements.  I also printed out the "Happy Birthday Poe" and "Edgar Allan Poe" senties included in the Romancing Poe Collage digi stamp set onto one of the background papers.  I cut the "Happy Birthday Poe" sentie out with an offset following the curved shape of the words.

 

I used the largest mat layer to cut a panel for the inside of the card too.

 

 

This "pOe" Frame Card is the larger of the 2 side fold card bases included in the ultimate SVG Cutz set.

 

For this one I used the "Poe and Raven" design from one of the Classic Poe - Vintage Grunge Digi Art Papers inside the "O" frame and I trimmed off the word "Poe" from the "Edgar Allan Poe" sentie.  For both senties I also cut matching panels and slightly larger panels out of black cardstock to mat and layer and make chunkier senties.  I did the same to the top "pOe" overlay letters for both cards too for extra dimension.

 

I then assembled all the card elements and used foam tape to pop the "pOe" overlayers with the shadow mat layers for even more fun dimension.

 

I'm really pleased with how the whole "POE" Frame Cards ultimate SVG Cutz Set turned out and they look so handsome cut from my new Classic Poe - Vintage Grunge Digi Art Papers!

 My entire Edgar Allan Poe Collection is now on sale for the duration of the hop including the new Poe 2023 Collection which is on special release sale too!

Remembering Ike

with makes by Ike

 

Today I want to remember Ike, Sue EisenHauer, who sadly passed away at the end of April😔  I met Ike when I first discovered Smeared Ink way back in 2011 and we became friends through our love of cats, Edgar Allan Poe and Halloween and then later as fellow digi stamp designers.  Ike sponsored prizes and played in many of LeighSBDesigns blog hops and I know she is busy happily crafting in Heaven right now so I wanted to re-share some of Ike's makes today❤️

Day 2

"Ode to Poe"

Art Journal Cover and Page 1

by Val

 

For Day 2 of our POEtastic 7th annual Poe Appreciation Blog Hop LeighSBDesiger Val is here with the start of her wonderful "Ode to Poe" Art Journal.  Today I'm sharing her POEtastic cover and page 1!

Val is using a 6 x 6 inch black journal book for her Poe themed art journal and decorated the front cover with Ode to Poe and the "NEVERMORE" text is from my Distressed Raven Nevermore design.

She also used Stampendous Fran-tage Chunky White and deep impression embossing enamel to embellish the cover.

The first page of Val's POEtastic art journal is handsomely decorated with Poe's signature from the Edgar Allan Poe Portrait and Signature digi stamp set!  She created a wonderful background paper using the Poe Signature design and also embellished the gorgeous embossed panel with it too.

Val used the following supplies to create her first page:  Gemini Embossing Folder, Spectrum Noir Midas Metallic Silver pigment ink pad, Blueprint Sketch and Black Soot Distress Oxide ink pads, Hobby Craft smooth white yardstick and black cardstock.

 Snap up the digi stamp sets featured today and also check out all my new POEtastic SVG Cutz 2022 release and the entire Edgar Allan Poe collection in the video and then shop LeighSBDesigns Poe Sale on now for the duration of the hop!
