Marleen DT - Im late, Im late..

Hey Bloggers..

Its my day to share inspiration for BeeCrafty.. And guess what? I totally forgot..

Kids had first day back at school and so many things are happening here at the moment so it clean slipped my mind.. But never mind.. Thank god I have a few "back up" cards lying so that is what I'll share today.

I used the "Backdrop - Distressed Diamonds" stamps and the "WORD-age Friendship" sentiment stamp. Both on my favorite list. Find them both and all the other yummy stamps in the STORE.

 The background on the top card is a left over from a previous project I made where I just used the circle. I used my diamond stamp, stamping first in black, just lining up the stamp, and then in red in the gaps. The distress look of the stamp means it dont matter if the colours are fully lined up.

I added a bit of silver embossing powder to some of the black diamonds, but its very hard to see in the pic. As I said, my circle was already cut out so all I did was stamp my greeting onto my card blank and then overlay my background. 

The black circle, under the gems, is actually just me drawing around my die with a black marker and then filling in the gap. 

I finished with the gems and that was it.

This is the project I made using the circle.

And that is it from me today. Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

 Happy Crafting

Lorre-Anne DT - Lustre Luxe Serendipity

Hi bloggers, time for me to share another DT project for Bee Crafty on the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty blog.  I've got the Lustre Luxe out again to make this card, and I love how the Sea Green Lustre Luxe looks with the Picked Raspberry Distress ink.

What you need to make this card

• 6" x 6" white card blank
• black & white card stock
• Inkables template - Oval lace
• Birds & Butterflies large stamp set
• Butterfly trio stamp set
• Wordage Serendipity stamp set
• Sea Green Lustre Luxe
• Picked Raspberry Distress Ink
• Onyx Black Versafine ink
• Glue & Foam pads

What to do - 

• Cut 2 pieces of white card smaller than the card blank.  Take the largest and blend Picked Raspberry around the edges, and mat this on to some black card and glue to the card blank.
• Take the other piece of white card and emboss the oval lattice pattern on it.  Use blending foam to apply Sea Green Lustre Luxe then mat it on to card blank.  Use foam pads to attach this to the card blank.
• On spare white card use Versafine to stamp butterflies and a sentiment.  Cut the sentiment out, add some Picked Raspberry to it and mat on to black card.  Glue to the card.
• Add some colour to the butterflies using a water brush and the Lustre Luxe and Distress ink. Glue to the card.

That's my project finished for this week, I'll be back next Monday with another new project for you.

Hugs, Lorre-Anne x

Paula DT - Something Wonderful...

 

 

 

Shopping List

 

Art Stamps ~ Roman Numerals Border

Art Stamps ~ Steampunk Stories: Pocketwatch

Backdrop Polymer Stamp: Bubble Wrap Negative

BEAUtanicals: Wildflower 2

Inkables Template ~ Honeycombe FULL

Distress Ink Fossilised Amber

Versafine - Onyx Black and Smokey Gray

Black marker/alcohol pen

 

I really like using just one Distress Ink colour - its amazing how many shades you can create by how much ink you use or how much pressure you apply. You can still give your piece depth with one colour; for me, I seem to work darker around the edges and have an area that is lighter than everywhere else.

 

* I started by cutting a panel about 4.5" square which will be mounted on to a 6x6 card blank. I then took the Bubble Wrap stamp in my hand and part inked it and then proceeded to stamp randomly all over till there was no ink left on the stamp. You might feel it needs more work and re ink - its all down to individual taste on how much or little colour/stamping you want.

*I then used a bit of foam to pick up some ink and then went round all the edges of the panel.

*Mask the Pocket watch just leaving the centre and stamp it in the top right corner.

*Ink the Roman Numerals up and stamp along the bottom of the panel.

*Take the Honeycombe Template and use it along the left hand edge and the right hand corners.

*Ink up the Wildflower2 with Smokey Gray Versafine and stamp once, re ink and stamp again. Now ink up again, stamp on to copier paper then stamp again on to the panel (this is a 2nd generation print) Do this several times.

*Ink the wording in black and stamp. Go along the panel edges with a black marker then mount on to the card with foam pads.

 

 

Thank you for popping by today - will see you again next Sunday :)

 

 

 



Emily DT - Pocketwatch

Hi everyone, it's been a few weeks since Sam was on Hochanda with the fabulous 'Time' stamps and so I thought I'd get these stamps out again this week. I have created this card...

I stamped the pocket watch on a square of white card and covered it using a mask sheet cut out.
I stamped the two sizes of cogs in shades of green Distress Ink all around the watch. I overlapped the cogs slightly, but not enough that they lose definition.

I love using the mask sheets as when you peel the mask off you get the big 'reveal'. I finished the card by stamping Time Flies in the middle of the watch (and yes, I have chopped my stamp up!).

I love this card. If you have read earlier blogs of mine you will know I don't often use green but I always love the finished result.

See you next week!

Karen DT- Birds on a Wire and Wildflower 2

Hello everyone x

It's me back with my weekly DT blog for
Bee Crafty over on their blog
Buzzy Goings On At Bee Crafty Blog


Today I'm sharing a card I made using the following stamps
Birds On A Wire 
BEAUtanicals Wildflower 2
Friendship

Also used :
Distress Oxides   : Picked Raspberry
Distress Inks  : Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Cracked Pistachio, Wilted Violet
Black onyx versafine ink

•  I cut a panel of pink card and a slightly smaller panel of white card, that would mat vertically down the side of my 8x8 card blank 
• Using masking tape I masked of a smaller panel on the white card
• I inked up an acrylic block with the 4 distress inks and spritzed with water then I stamped over the masked panel
• Keeping the masking tape on, I stamped the Birds On A Wire in black onyx versafine ink 
• I removed the tape and stamped the Friendship part of the stamp across the bottom.  I adhered this to the pink card panel
• Using this panel as I guide I stamped the flowers onto the card blank, in the Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide and the Black onyx versafine ink,  so they looked like they were tucked under the panel, which I then adhered to the card blank with wet glue
• The remainder of the Friendship stamp was stamped in black onyx versafine ink onto a piece of card, cut down and matted onto some of the pink card 
• This was adhered with foam pads to complete this sample 

I hope you like this week's sample showcasing these beautiful products.

Marleen DT - pocket watch

Hello Blogger friends 

 and welcome to my blog.

  Once again my turn to share a bit of inspiration for BeeCrafty.

For today I had a bit of a play with some of the stamps from the Steampunk collection. Ive used the Pocketwatch and the Gears. I also used the "Time Flies" sentiment.

 This one is made with distress inks. Just pressed the ink pads of my chosen colours down onto my craft mat and sprayed the ink with water. Then simply took a piece of water card stock and smooched it through the ink pools. I dried my card stock and smooched it through the left over ink and dried again.

I used a die to cut the edge of my water colour piece to give it the edge with the stitches. I then lay the background on to the card and drew a faint pencil line following the edge. I removed the background again but on my card I had the pencil line. Icould now see where to stamp my gears on the card to make the border.

Once that was done I stamped the pocket watch on to my background and also stamped a mask on a post it note. I cut the mask out, layed it over my watch and stamped the gears around the clock. That way the watch would be in the front with the gears behind it.

I finished of with my greeting. Im notorious at cutting up my stamps and this sentiment actually have more words on it, but I just cut out the time flies bit and stamped that..
And that is it from me today. Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

Charlee DT - Galaxy effect

Morning crafters. Hope you've all had a good week. This weeks blog is doing a galaxy effect with the distress oxides. I so love this background and hope you will to and give it a go. Make sure if you do you share your pictured on the bee crafty facebook group.

What you'll need:

• White card, Black card and 8x8 card blank
• Moon stamp
• Pocketwatch stamp
• Time flies WORDage
• Metal Work inkable 
• Distress Oxides in Twisted Citron, Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves, Faded Jeans and Black Soot.
• Verasfine Onyx Black
• Versamark
• Silver embossing powder
• White acrylic paint
• Gold Aquatints

Step 1:

Cut your white card down to 6.5x6.5. Blend twisted citron, picked raspberry and seedless preserves oxides ( if you don't have oxides normal distress inks work just as well ) in random places all over the card. Then with faded jeans blend all round the edges but leaving the middle. Then go over with the black soot. Once you're happy with how it looks spritz some droplets of water on to the background and blot with a paper towel.

Step 2:

Put a small blob of white paint and mix with water so it's runny enough to be able to flick spots onto your background with a paint brush. After the white paint, repeat but with gold aquatint ( you could also do this with lustre luxe mixed with water.

Step 3:

Once the paint and aquatints are dry, ink up the pocket watch in the onyx black and stamp it in a position where you want it on your card. Ink the moon stamp in the black soot oxide. Take the time flies stamp and either cut it in half or mask it off and use versamark to stamp where you want your sentiment to go. Heat emboss with some silver embossing powder. Matt and layer onto some purple and black card.

Step 4:

Before you stick your card down to the card blank, go round the edges with the metal work inkable in black soot oxide. Once you're happy stick your card together.

That's it for this week. Please feel free to ask any questions.

Until next week

Lorre-Anne DT - Distress Oxide Love

Hi everyone, it's time for my weekly blog spot on Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty showing my latest Bee Crafty DT project.  This week I got my Distress Oxides out again - they leave a lovely chalky look to your finished project, but it doesn't rub off on your fingers!  

What you will need to make this card -

• 5" x 5" white card blank
• white card 
• Inkables heart template
• Love WORDage stamp
• Background stamp - retro dash & dots
• Distress Oxides - Faded Jeans, Fired Brick & Vintage Photo
• Glue
• Foam pads

What to do -

• Cut 2 squares of white card, one slightly smaller than the card blank, and the other slightly smaller again.  Take the larger of the two, and blend Faded Jeans Distress Oxide around the edges, then glue to the card blank.
• Take the other square of white card, and using Faded Jeans Distress Oxide, randomly stamp the retro dash & dots stamps over it.  Mat this to the card blank.
• Apply some lines of Distress Oxide to your blending mat (all 3 colours), and spritz liberally with water until you see bubbles appearing and the ink brightening - this is it reacting with the water.  Take another square of white card and dab it in to the mixture.  Dry with a heat tool, occasionally flicking water droplets, and repeat until you are happy with the finished look.
• When dry, take the heart Inkables and draw lightly round it in pencil.  Cut out.
• Ink up the Love WORDage using Faded Jeans Distress Oxide, and stamp in the centre of the heart.  Use foam pads to attach to the centre of the card blank.

That's it until next week, as always if you have any comments then please do let me know... I love to hear from you :-)

Hugs, Lorre-Anne x

Jane DT - A Trio of Butterflies

Hello!

I am back again with another project for the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty Blog. 

This week I decided to use distress oxide ink pads as these are a recently acquired medium for me as well as some new stamps that I got in the recent Bee Crafty summer sale (I can't resist a stampy bargain!) :)

Here is the 6" x 6" card that I made...

The products used were...

* Large Butterfly - Art Stamp
* Script XL - Backdrops Stamp
* Everyday Sentiments 1 - Wordage Stamp
* Distress Oxide Inkpads - Wilted Violet, Faded Jeans, Cracked Pistachio
* Versafine Inkpad - Onyx Black
* Clear Embossing Powder

I wanted to see how versatile the oxide inks are so used them in 3 different ways for this card.

1) First I created the background by smooshing (technical term) the ink pads onto my craft mat, spritzing with water then placing watercolour card into it.  I dried this layer off before adding extra dabs of the other colours using the same technique, making sure each layer was dry before adding the next.
2) Using the same 3 ink pads I inked up the script background in patches and then stamped right across the background.  I kept a spare piece of the background without stamping ready for the sentiment.
3) The big butterfly was stamped 3 times using the Versafine and then heat embossed with clear powder.  The sentiment was created the same way but stamped onto the spare piece of the original inky background.
4) Once the butterflies were cut out I coloured them using the oxide inks from a mat and a water brush.
5) I decided to add a few mats and layers to create a frame for the background, then added the sentiment and butterflies using foam pads and 3D glue gel.

This was quite a quick card to make, but the oxide inks create really fab backgrounds very easily, and with the beautiful stamps made this card very easy to create.

Thank you for reading and I will see you again next week!

Happy crafting,

Jane xx

Emily DT - Nature's Masterpiece

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is having a good week. This week I have used a masking technique I love, but I have done something I rarely do which is stamp straight onto a card blank. 

Here is the card I have made...

I used a kraft card blank. I masked off the top half of the card and coloured it using Distress inks. I then stamped the small teasel stamp multiple times in brown ink. I used second generation stamping to add depth.

I then added a sentiment at the bottom and added a small flourish from the splatter swirl border stamp in each bottom corner.

I am pleased with how it turned out and love the brown ink. I think black would have been too stark for this card so I am glad I used brown.

I hope you like the card too!

See you next week,

Karen DT- Ladies Profile, Moon and BEAUtanicals

Good morning lovely crafters xx

• Taking the smallest square of white card I stamped the Ladies Profile, and the Moon, in Smokey Grey versafine ink 
• The Wildflower 2 was stamped in the Squeezed Lemonade DI, ensuring they were stamped at different heights
• I then stamped the Ground Elder in the Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean DI'S.  I also stamped some a second time, without reinking.  This gives depth and dimension to your flowers

Lorre-Anne DT - Dylusions Heart Flower

Hi bloggers, it's Monday so that means it's time for me to share a new Bee Crafty DT project with you all on the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty blog... and this week I have got my Dylusions out again!  I wanted this weeks project to be bright and fun... and I think this fits the bill.  I also wanted to show how versatile these fabulous stamps are, and so I've used the medium Style Wire Heart to make a flower.

What you will need -

• 8" x 8" white card blank
• Black & white card
• Dinkables template - feather 1
• Style Wire heart (medium) stamp
• Dylusions (Bubblegum Pink, Tangerine Dream, Black Marble)
• Onyx Black Versafine ink
• Black organza ribbon
• Black button

What you need to do - 

• Cut black card slightly smaller than the card blank, and white smaller than this - and using a wet wipe blend some Tangerine Dream around the edges of the white card.  Mat this on to the black card, and glue to the card blank.
• Cut another square of black card smaller than the orange edged square, and a piece of white smaller again.  Using a wet wipe blend some Bubblegum Pink all over the white square of card. When dry (which takes no time at all) randomly blend Black marble through the feather template.  Mat this on to the black card, wrap some ribbon around the left hand side and glue to the card blank.
• On a spare piece of white card, blend Tangerine Dream over the entire piece, then use Versafine ink to stamp out 5 hearts - cut these out and use 3D glue to attach these to the card in a flower shape.  Finish off by adding a black button in the centre of the flower.

I quite enjoyed using my Dylusions again and think I might just leave them out on my desk so I can play with them again.  I'll be back next week with another project.

Hugs, Lorre-Anne x

Paula DT - Life isn't about waiting....

Shopping List

BEAUtanicals: Wildflower 2
Inkables Template ~ Metal Work Alpha
Snowflake Flurry
WORDage ~ Life & Rain (Lg)
Distress Ink Pads: Mermaid Lagoon and Twisted Citron
Versafine Onyx Black Ink Pad

These are very easy, quick and simple cards to make. There are 3 because that's how many I got out of a 12x12 sheet of white card.

Basically, you ink the Wildflower stamp with Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink and then stamp, this is called a first generation print, stamp again without re inking and this is your 2nd generation and then do it again to get your 3rd generation print.
Take the Metal Work Alpha template and randomly ink through small sections using the Twisted Citron Distress ink.
There is a small section of dots on the Snowflake Flurry stamp, I've cut them away from the main stamp but you can mask off the rest of the stamp, ink up the dots, remove the mask and stamp it that way. Finally, ink the quote in black and stamp.

The last card is basically the same as the others but this time I masked a border using some low tack tape. I was a bit lazy and just used the width of the tape as my border, which to be honest was a little wide for the size of card. Anyhow, I wiped some Twisted Citron around the edges and then carried on as I did above. Oh...don't forget to remove the tape to reveal the stamped centre!

Jane DT - Butterfly Blues

Hello!

Today it is my turn to share a design team project with you at Buzzy Goings On at Bee Crafty Blog and I decided this week to use some MDF...

To create this piece I used the following products...

* MDF Art Board
* Teasels - Beautanicals Stamp
* Wildflower 2 - Beautanicals Stamp
* Everyday Sentiments 1 - Wordage Stamp
* Butterflies Set 1 - Winged Things Stamp
* Regular Dots - D'Inkables
* White Gesso
* Crackle Paint
* Acrylic Paint (Blue and White)
* Gilding Wax - Silver
* Embossing Powder - Silver and White
* Permanent Ink - Blue
* Heat Resistant Acetate
* Spray Inks

This is how it was made...

1) Stick the MDF plaque to the base and coat with white gesso to prepare the surface.
2) Paint the whole plaque using crackle paint tinted with some blue acrylic paint.

3) Once the crackle has been allowed to dry naturally put on some stencilling with white paint and the regular dots d'inkable.  Add some stamping using the distressed diamonds and permanent blue ink.
4) Add some darker blue paint and gilding wax around the edges to help frame the piece.
5) After using an anti static bag, use clear embossing ink and silver powder to heat emboss the wildflowers directly onto the MDF.
6) To create extra depth and layers, stamp the teasels onto heat resistant acetate using white embossing powder and cut it to size.
7) To soften the white embossing to blend it into the plaque more, add a small amount of blue permanent ink to the teasels, then put glue onto the places where it will not be seen from the front to add the acetate to the plaque.
8) On a piece of water colour card spray a selection of blue and purple inks and once dry add some more stencilling with white paint.
9) On this coloured card stamp 3 butterflies using clear ink and white embossing powder.  Then cut out and add to the plaque.
10) Stamp the sentiment onto card and mat onto the same card before adding as a final touch.

Thank you for reading, I will be back next week with another project.  Happy crafting,

Jane xx

Emily DT - Wildflowers

Hi everyone, it's my turn to provide some inspiration again so here is the card I have made...

I started by colouring a strip of card using Distress Inks and a blending tool. I then stamped one of the Wildflower stamps in purple and black and used second generation stamping to add some depth.

I tore of the top and bottom edges to give it an edgy feel.

I took my card blank and the chainlink d'inkable and added some random details along either side of where I knew the floral panel would go. I then glued the panel on top.

One of my favourite sentiments finishes off this card nicely. I quite like how it turned out. I like how the flowers don't necessarily go with the more industrial pattern of the inkable.

I hope you like it!

Karen DT-Moon and Fables and Fantasy Delight

Good morning crafters
How are we all this week?

I'm back with my weekly DT post for
Bee Crafty

This week I'd like to share a card I made using the following stamp sets:
Moon
Fables and Fantasy Delight  
Life and Rain

Also used:
Distress Inks  : Broken China, Tumbled Glass, Chipped Sapphire
Black onyx versafine ink
Rainbow Mirri

• I began this card by cutting a square of rainbow mirri slightly smaller than my 6x6 card blank and a square of white card slightly smaller than this
• I stamped the Moon in black onyx versafine ink and masked it off 
• I blended the DI'S over the white card, the lightest blend being closest to the moon stamp, getting darker the further away I blended
• Using a water brush I created moonlight rays, dabbing each ray with a paper towel,  to bleach the ink out
• Delight was stamped in black onyx versafine ink,  as was the sentiment 
• To complete I adhered this to the mirri and then to the card blank

I was really happy with how this sample turned out lol. I hope you like it to. Don't forget to check out their website for lots of beautiful products and offers

Lorre-Anne DT - Hello You

Hi everyone, it's Bee Crafty time again, and my turn to share a project on the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty blog.... for this week's project I wanted to make a CAS card.  I've only used 2 stamps, and 2 Distress Oxide colours along with black Versafine ink.  This was a really quick little card to make, and a perfect card just to say you're thinking of someone.

What you will need -

• 6" x 6" white card
• Black & white card
• Everyday sentiments 1
• Large butterfly stamp
• Distress Oxides (Broken China & Wilted Violet)
• Onyx Black Versafine ink

What to do -

• Cut 2" off the card blank to get a 6" x 4" tent fold card.
• Cut black card slightly smaller than the card blank, and white card slightly smaller again.
• Take the white card and use the Oxides to stamp 'Hello You' down the left hand side, alternating the colour each time.  Mat this onto the black card, and glue to the card blank.
• On spare white card, stamp the large butterfly using Versafine, and add some colour using the Oxides and a water brush.  Add some glue to the body of the butterfly only, and attach to the card - this leaves the wings free to be raised off the page a little to add some dimension to the card.

That's another project completed, I hope you liked my CAS card, an as always if you have any comments please do get in touch.

Until next time, happy crafting!

Emily DT - Rock!

Hi everyone, I hope everyone's having a lovely Summer! I have created a card this week which uses a lot of different texture stamps to create a background.

Here is the card I have made...

I used a lot of different stamps, including the set of four small background stamps, the crackle background stamp and the set of two stars to create the background. I used shades of green and started off really lightly, using second generation ink. I slowly built up the background, finishing with the patterns I wanted to be most prominent.

I stamped the Rock stamp in the middle and finished it with a few dots of glossy accents. I wanted the background to be a feature of this card and didn't want to put too much over the top of it.

I like how this card turned out although if I did it again I would try and focus the lighter stamping in the middle and the more prominent colours around the edge of the card.

I hope you like it!

Karen DT- TIME samples from Sam's Hochanda show

Good morning xx

How is everyone?  Do we have a crafty day planned?

I'm back today with my weekly blog for
Bee Crafty

Following on from last week's blog I'd like to showcase the rest of my DT samples for the new Time products, recently released on Hochanda

Last week I showed the mdf makes, today I'd like to share the cards I made using the same products

Pocket Watch stamp
Cogs stamp
Key stamp
Ladies Profile stamp
TIME stamp
Time Flies stamp

Also used:
Distress Oxides
Black onyx versafine ink
Inkables Tempate: Circles
Dinkable : Chain link
Versmark ink
White embossing powder
Pixie Powders  (you can also use Brushos)

• I cut some teal paper slightly smaller than my card blank and white card slightly smaller than this 
• The Pocket Watch was stamped in black onyx versafine ink, onto the white card, and masked off
• I used Peacock Feathers and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxides through the Circles and Chain Link stencils
• The cogs were then stamped in the same Distress Oxides 
• I removed the mask then stamped the TIME part of the stamp on the right hand side of the white card 

• For this sample I cut a square of black card and a slightly smaller square of white card 
• The Peacock Feathers and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxides were blended across the white card, spritzing with water and drying in between each layer of ink 
• The Ladies Profile and the Cogs stamps were inked up in the black onyx versafine ink and stamped onto the blended background 
• I second generation stamped the Pocket Watch in the lower left corner to get a more muted image, which sits in the background 
• The sentiment was also stamped in the black onyx versafine ink to complete  

• For this sample, I cut a square of black card and a slightly smaller square of white card 
• The Pocket Watch was stamped in Versmark ink and heat embossed in with white embossing powder 
• I used Pixie powders to create the background 
• The sentiments were stamped in black onyx versafine ink, masking it off to split the sentiment into two separate stamped images

• To create this sample, I cut a panel of black card and a slightly smaller panel of white card, to fit vertically down my card blank
• The keys were stamped in Wilted Violet, Fossilized Amber, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxides 
• Using the panel as a guide, I stamped the Pocket Watch so it would sit under the panel
• I adhered the white card panel onto the card blank with TEMPORARY adhesive, stamped the TIME sentiment over both the panel and the card blank and then I removed the panel
• The white panel was adhered to the black panel and the adhered to card blank,  ensuring the sentiment stamp lined up perfectly 

I really hope you've enjoyed seeing my first DT samples, showcasing the new Time products on Hochanda 

I'd love you to leave me some comments,  I do read them all.

Thankyou for stopping by and I'll be back with more samples for Bee Crafty next Thursday
