Jane DT - 'A Flurry of Snow' MDF Tag

Hello!

Today on the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty blog I am sharing a mixed media MDF tag that I have made using a set of the new doodle art Yuletide stamps...

I started with one of the Victorian Medium MDF tags, which I painted using antique white acrylic then added stencilling through the snowflakes d'inkable using blue chalky acrylic paint...

Next I used one of the snowflake doodle art stamps to add text along one side of the tag with light blue archival ink.  This was very easy to line up and I added it at different distances to create an uneven edge...

Then I used two of the smaller snowflake stamps with some darker blues in archival ink.  I wasn't worried if the stamping wasn't always accurate as this was still forming a part of the background layers...

After this I wanted to add one of the larger snowflakes to become more of a foreground element.  I stamped it directly onto the tag in an even darker blue archival ink, then used my pitt pens (which are a permanent india ink so can colour over the acrylic paint) along with little touches of posca paint pens...

I had left a space on the right side of the tag as I knew that this was where I wanted my main focal image to be.  Using the snowflake 2 inkable I added clear modelling paste, then whilst this was still wet covered it with a glitter embossing powder in teal.  This was then heated to melt the powder and although there was also some bubbling of the paste I liked how this helped to increase the dimension...

To finish my main element I stamped a different one of the larger snowflakes onto card and cut it out.  This was then also coloured using pitt pens before I stamped out my sentiment.  I cut this out by hand and added some ink to the edges and also some pen to match the colours of the tag...

Finally I added some white thread under the snowflake before sticking it to the tag and adhered the sentiment all with glue gel to help create dimension.  I felt a little more sparkle was required so added a gem to the centre of the snowflake and some smaller gems to the tag...

Here are the products that I used:

* MDF - Victorian Medium Tag
* Yuletide Stamps - Doodle Art Snowflake Regular
* D'inkable - Snowflakes
* Inkable - Snowflake 2
* Archival Inkpads

There is currently a giveaway running over on the Bee Crafty Instagram page where you could win the collection of regular Yuletide Doodle Art stamps including the snowflake set I have used for this project.  To link to the giveaway click on the link below..

Karen DT - Live by the sea

Hi everyone xx

Hope everyone is well and been crafting away.
I'm up on the Bee Crafty blog today, and I've been playing in my Art Journal again using the gorgeous Jellyfish from the Bee Crafty Under the sea collection.

Also used:
Dinkables
Distress Oxide
White embossing powder

Having first painted my page with white gesso and dried it off with my heat gun, I then blended distress oxides randomly all over. I dried each layer off before applying more until I was happy with the effect. 

I dropped some water on and dabbed dry with paper towel. 

Using a damp wipe, and my circles Dinkables, I removed some of the ink to add more dimension. 

I stamped and heat embossed the gorgeous Jellyfish in white.

Green Distress Oxide was blended through the leafy Dinkable

I stamped various Seaweeds in different Oxides, first and second generation, to get more dimension.

The sentiment was stamped on paper, cut out and adhered to finish.

I hope you enjoyed today's post

Distress oxides

Clear embossing powder

Versamark ink

Frantage embossing powder

Gel pens

HOW TO MAKE: 

Cut a rectangular postcard shape from Kraft card 6x4 is a good size. Then using the ledger stamp cover the background using versafine onyx black and then clear heat emboss. 

Then I added a crooked edge die cut, torn edge panel will work too. I found a funk gel print to cut my panel from. Then using a background honeycomb stamp from the doodle butterfly set I added some to the design. 

Next stamp the doodle butterfly onto the postcard and also onto a plain piece of card. Fussy cut it. 

Colour with distress oxides and a water brush.

I used picked raspberry and wilted violet.

Add some sparkly gel pen details and some white highlights to add a little more interest.

Using a Versamark ink pad, ink around the border of the postcard. Sprinkle the frantage embossing powder over and heat. This gives a cool distressed edging. 

Finish off by adding the circle doodles - cut out and coloured and stuck on as embellishments. 

Sentiment and butterfly adhered with silicone gel for dimension. 

That's it done!

Jane DT - Doodle Sunflower Notebook Cover

Hello!

Today on the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty blog I am sharing a notebook cover that I have made for one of my son's teacher gifts as it is heading towards the end of the school year...

I started by cutting two pieces of mount board with a journal die that I have and coated it with white gesso.  Then I used crackle paste through the Mandala 5 inkable and the circles d'inkable and left it to dry naturally...

As this is a gift and an item that will be handled I wanted to use colouring mediums that are permanent and not water reactive, so I painted on acrylic paints but added water to make sure the crackles were still visible...

To help the pattern to stand back out I got my inktense pencils in orange and grey and added shading which I activated with my water brush.  If the colour got a bit too intense I added extra water and blotted with a paper towel...

Once I was happy with the shading I used the Script XL stamp to add extra detail and I used watering can archival ink to match the pencil colour and also because it is a permanent ink...

The Doodle Art Sunflowers were stamped out in both sizes.  Once cut out I coloured them using permanent markers and then added glossy accents over the top, this was to create a nice finish but also as another layer of protection...

When creating journals or notebooks I love to add long dangly charms to the spine, so I started by stamping the sunflowers onto white shrink plastic before cutting them out, adding a hole to each and then shrinking them with my heat tool.  After that I used alcohol markers to add some colours and coated with glossy accents...

Using my stash of beads and jewellery findings I put a selection of beads in matching colours onto head and eye pins to create my dangly charms...

The project was finished off by adding eyelets and ribbon for a closure and the elastic to put my pre bought notebooks inside and also to add my dangly charms to...

To create this project these are the products I used:

* Inkables - Mandala 5
* D'inkables - Circles
* Art Stamps - Doodle Art Sunflowers (regular and XL)
* Backdrop Stamps - Script XL
* Archival Inkpads
* White Gesso
* Glossy Accents
* Shrink Plastic

Thank you for looking and happy crafting!

Morning xx

I've been getting a bit festive with my Doodle Art sets, on my weekly Bee Crafty blog post.... mad you say... but I can't put these stamp sets down lol

Products used:
Doodle Art sets: all of them!! 🤣
Distress Oxides
Versafine
Kuretake clean colour pens
Sparkle pens
Gelli Plate
Patterned papers

Whilst I have made my backgrounds on my Gelli Plate, you can achieve a similar effect by applying Distress Oxides to an acrylic block. Spritz with water and apply to card blank. Then stamp your desired images within the inked panel.

All my images were stamped in Black Onyx Versafine as I like the bold, contemporary feel to this style.

I coloured in some aspects of the images, either with kuretake clean colour pens or sparkle pens, but you can use whatever you have in your crafty stash 

To create the 3d snowflakes I stamped on to patterned paper, cut them out and layered them up.

Well there today's selection of makes. Until next time.
