Emily DT - Being Happy!

Hello! This is my first post for the Bee Crafty design team and I have created a card using the BEAUtanicals branches and wordage Being Happy large stamps.

Here is the card

I started with a square of card which I coloured round the edge with orange alcohol ink. I applied it using a piece of felt and my ink applicator. I then went round the edge adding BEAUtanicals branches in two different sizes. I used ripe persimmon and spiced marmelade distress inks.

The circle I coloured using ink dusters and distress inks. I used ripe persimmon and spiced marmelade again, and also added in a little barn door.

Then I stamped my wordage stamp using a brown pigment ink and a black pigment ink, slightly offsetting them.

I mounted the circle using foam pads to give it some height, then mounted the whole thing onto black card.

Here is the finished card...

I hope you like my first ever card for Bee Crafty!

See you next week

Clare DT - Angel Whispers

Happy weekend everyone, I'm here today with my Bee Crafty DT and with me I am bringing along this beautiful new addition to the Wordage collection Angel whispers. It is available in two different sizes. In my card today I have used the large stamp.

 

To make this card i have used:

Wordage Angel Whispers stamp

Backdrop Borders Distressed Flower

Distress ink

White embossing powder

Inkables easy frame - square

 

 

I started off by setting up my inkables template with my card underneath. Using a piece of ripped paper with various shades of blue distress inks I blended off the edge of the paper to make the cloudy tunnel.

Over the top and around the edges I blended seedless preserves. After that I stamped the distressed flower border and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I continued to stamp the angel sentiment with a smokey grey ink, I made sure that this was dry before I bump stamped the sentiment again with watermark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Marleen DT - Tree Silhuette

Hi everyone and thank you for popping by..

Its once again wednesday and time for my weekly slot for

Bee Crafty.

This week Ive had a play with another new stamp. This thime its the 

"Tree - Silhuette" from the BEAUtanical range.

Ive also used the "Best Wishes" stamp.

You can find both in the STORE with all the other goodies..

Here is what Ive made for this week.

 

 For this card I took a card blank and folded the front back on itself. I then covered the front as well as the inside with a patterened paper from my stach. 

I cut out my shaped square (sorry dont know the name of that shape) and stamped my tree on to it, then popped it back in the die, added a bit of red distress ink around the edges and last stamped my greeting.

I finished the card with some beads on string, a flower and a little wooden heart and voila, all done.

And that is all from me for today.

 Many thanks for popping by and for any comments left behind.

 

Kerrie DT - Fashionette 'Mary'

Hiya and welcome to my Friday Post for Bee Crafty

This week I have been back into my comfort zone of pretty & girly

I chose to colour 'Mary' she is such a pretty girl and I matched her to a pretty floral paper 

I coloured her using my fave alcohol markers in colours to compliment the theme of the paper, trimmed the image down and inked the edges using Distress Inks 'Tattered Rose' & 'Spun Sugar'

To create the foliage I stamped the larger branch from the 'Branches' set using Distress Inks 'Forest Moss' & 'Crushed Olive', I cut them out and layered them up with some paper flowers and buttons

I added lots of  layers and jaunty angles as I love them

I pinched a sticky note from my planner stash to create the tab for the sentiment which I stamped using some Wordage stamps 'With Love' and 'Hugs & Kisses'

Thank you for visiting today come back soon for more Gorgeous Projects from the Design Team

Marleen DT - Branch

Morning blogger friends..

A post this morning for 

Bee Crafty..

Once again I had a new shipment of fantastic stamps from Bee Crafty.

Im like a little kid in a sweet shop when i see the parcels land through my letterbox and this time was no diffenrent. So away to my craft room I went and strait away whipped up this little card I have to show today.

Ive used the "Large Branch" stamp from the BEAUtanical range

as well as my trusty sentiment stamp "Best wishes/Special thoughts".

 For this card I cut a mat to fit my card blank.

I then cut a circle out of the mat and put thecut-out to the side for using later.

I then took my mat and covered in several green distress inks. and a quick spray of a home made glimmer spray before piercing the edges with a pokey tool and adding to my card blank on foam pads.

Taking my cut-out circle I took my branch stamp and stamped of the edge. I used black staz-on ink to make sure it wouldnt smudge when I added a bit of brown distress ink round the edges. I stuck the circle dont flat onto the card through the circle alredy made.
I finished with a bit of brown distress ink around the edge of the whole card and voila..

And that is all from me for today. I cant wait to play with this stamp some more.

Many thanks for popping by and for any comments left behind.

Clare DT- Tree shillouette, Brushos and three cards!

The weekend is upon us yet again and i for one am overjoyed. Even though it has been a four day working week it seemed much longer. Well i am here with my Bee Crafty slot and this week I have brought to you three cards using one stamp, the fabulous Beautanicals tree shillouette stamp. Along with the stamp, for each card I used Brushos and embossing powder. The cards are all different in many ways but i have kept the technique similar. I will post the links for additional products used with the photos.

 

 

For this make I stamped the tree with watermark ink and heat embossed with clear powder. After that I sprinkled the brushos over the tree and spritzed with water to explode the colour. Once dried I randomly stamped Crackle paint stamp and used the Inkables easy frame heart mask and mini blending tool along with tea dye distress ink to ink my heart frame. To finish i applied liquid pearls around the heart.

 

 

 

 

 

In the above card once the Brushos were dry I went over the tree coloured areas with a Wink of stella brush.

Marleen DT - "Clover" backdrop border stamp.

Hi guys.. 

Back with another post for 

Bee Crafty.

For today I've made another scrappage. I've used the Backdrop border stamp called "Clover"

 You can find it in the STORE with all the other goodies.

 This stamp is one of those that can be used for so many things. So far, Ive only had a couple of plays with it, but it is one I will be using over and over.

 

For todays project, I wanted a subtle look. I wanted the stamp to frame the photo of my daughter yet to really set it off, and I really think I achived that.

 

 

 Ive used my border stamp arround the 2 sides of a sheet of A4 card stock. I used Adirondack ink in Aqua. I just inked up the stamp and stamped one after the other till the whole side was covered.
The stamp is a clear stamp so its really easy to line them up..

 

 

 The rest of the LO is simply just layering up. The tag, the flowers, the gems and washi tape is all bits from my stash and the text is made on my dymo and just added to the page with foam pads to raise the words.

And that is all from me for today. 

Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

Kerrie DT - FASHIONetttes 'Peggy'

Happy Friday so its my turn to post for Bee Crafty

I ordered some new Stamps & Inkables Templates in the last 2 weeks and couldnt wait to get inky - I love the FASHIONette's so much and I've been eager to try out the templates with my Distress Inks

I stamped 'Peggy' onto watercolour cardstock (which I had trimmed to fit an 8x8 cardblank with a few mm border) using Archival Ink because I wated to use lots of water and didnt want the image to bleed. I then stamped again onto eclipse masking tape and cut her out to make a mask which I fixed over her on the watercolour cardstock.

The background I created by blending 'Antique Linen' & 'Tattered Rose' distress inks using a round blending tool. I then placed the 'Circles' inkables template over the corners and sprayed through with water, then used a 'microfibre cloth' to remove the excess water and lift the colour away from the wet areas too. this showed up quite faint though as the colours I used were a bit pale.

Next I used the 'Metalwork Alpha' inkables template around the edges using 'Victorian Velvet' distress ink. I inked the edges using 'Pumice Stone' distress ink. I sprinkled over some rock salt and sprayed with water, waited for the salt to react a bit then dried the card using a heat gun on a low setting. I brushed the salt off to reveal the speckles where it had reacted with the ink.

Next I stamped the 'Maple Outline' stamps slightly off the page and painted over them using 'Pumice Stone' distress ink. I also randomly stamped the 'Large Branch' BEAUtanicals stamp accross the top of the card and 'Dandies' Backdrop Border stamp along the bottom of the card using 'Frayed Burlap' distress ink.

I also randomly stamped the 'Cow Parsley' & 'Branches' BEAUtanicals stamps randomly using 'Tattered Rose' & 'Victorian Velvet' around the edge of the card.

I reused the 'Circles' inkables template around the corners again dry template this time using 'Antique Linen' distress ink and the round blending tool, this showed up a lot better with the paler colours.

I then removed the mask from 'Peggy' which revealed that no ink had slipped through and she was perfectly blank for me to add colour to. I used Distress Inks as watercolours using a blending mat and a waterbrush. The colours I used were all the same ones from the background.

I matted the finished picture onto dark brown mirror board and attached to my 8x8 cardbalnk using foam tape.

Lastly I stamped the 'Decision to Try' WORDage stamp onto an offcut of watercolour card using the 'Pumpice Stone' ink, I then trimmed the words out and matted them onto dark brown mirror board, I then fixed them to the finished card using foam tape for dimension.
