Sue CT Whatever Works

Hi everyone! I am Sue and this is the first time I have ever written a blog post of any sort, so please be kind to me. I am sure I will soon get used to it and hopefully not break the blog! It's really great to be here on the Bee Crafty blog and can't wait to get going.

Products I have used

 

White 6x6 card

Black card 5¾ x 5¾ inches

Scraps of white card

Bee Crafty Whatever Works Stamp Set

Bee Crafty Art Backgrounds Stamp Set 1

Bee Crafty Tag Dies

Anti-Static Bag

Versamark Ink pad

Ranger Black Fine Detail Embossing Powder

Ranger White Fine Detail Embossing Powder

Micron Pen

Skinny Slim

 I have decided to go dramatic with this one which is very unusual for me!

I wanted something fairly simple so went with black and white. Rub the anti-static bag over both the black and white card.

Stamp the Whatever Works face onto white card using Versamark and emboss using Ranger Black Fine Detail Embossing powder. I also added the second eye to add more detail as you can see from my later photo.

Stamp the Whatever Works words onto a scrap of card and emboss with the black fine detail embossing powder.

Using the largest tag die, cut the face, positioning the die where it suits you. 

Cut the words out using a paper trimmer or scissors. Draw lines around the edges of both the tag and words using a black Micron pen.

Using the triangle stamp from the Art Background 1 stamp set, stamp the triangles along one side of the card using Versamark and heat emboss with white detail embossing powder. Then repeat in the opposite direction, making sure not to overlap the first image.

Arrange the tag and words on the black card and adhere using your chosen medium. If you wanted to add some extra colour, you could use Moonlight Pens to colour some of the triangles.

Thank you very much for reading my first post. Enjoy the rest of your day and I hope you all have a very Happy New Year.

Sally DT - Sassy Journal spread

 Hi There! Hope you have had a great time over the last few days. I am here to share a step by step for a rather cheeky journal spread I made recently in my Kraft Journal.

I began by painting white gesso on each page leaving a kraft border. I then painted over with the dylusions paint and dylusions shimmer paint in random patches.

Next I added some Dina Wakely metallic paint.

I used a dinkable and a texture disc to add some texture - some with texture paste and some with white gesso

Once this was dry I added stamping in Black versafine clair - First the ledger stamp...

Then some coffee rings and numbers from the coffee stains set. I set this aside to dry.

I stamped the Sassy Journaling Girl in black onto white paper and cut out.

I stuck her to the page with Distress Collage Matte medium.

Next I selected a back chat sticker and added it to the opposite page.

Finally I added a few sequins, white splatters, and highlights using moonlight gelly rolls, a posca pen and the Dina Wakely white gloss spray.

I used:

Bee Crafty Ledger stamp

Bee Crafty coffee stains stamp set

Bee Crafty Journalling girl Sassy

Dylusions paints in blue lagoon and periwinkle blue

Dylusions shimmer paint in bubblegum pink

Dina Wakely acrylic paint in Ancient

Alison DT - Dream

Hi everyone. I have created an art journal page using the Dream face stamp. 

I started by using three distress inks and one of my superskinny slims.

I smooshed two of the ink pads onto the block and spritzed with water, then swiped it on a page in my Dina Wakely journal. 

I repeated the above with the third colour.

Next I used Dinkables and the same inks to add detail to the background.

Then I used the Coffee Stain and the Art Backgrounds 2 stamps to add more layers.

I then stamped Dream onto Collage paper and stuck her to the page using Collage Medium.

Finally I used Ecoline and Sakura Glaze pens to colour her and added white highlights using a gel pen.

Products used:
Art Stamps: Dream 

Art Stamps: Coffee Stain

Art Stamps: Art Backgrounds 2

Collage Paper

Collage Medium

Dinkables sets 1, 2 and 9

Distress Inks: Festive Berry  Worn Lipstick, Villainous Potion and Kitch Flamingo

Thank you for stopping by. Happy Boxing Day.

https://www.beecrafty.net/

Thinly spread mid-green paint onto your Gelli Plate with a brayer. Place the Pearls (Big One) onto the Gelli plate, then a piece of copier paper, press carefully & remove the excess paint. Depending on the size of your Gelli plate you may need to repeat this process… 

Let the paint dry a little then add some Calypso Teal Shimmer paint, this time place the Snowflake Mask onto the Gelli plate & repeat the copy paper method.. 

When that’s dried a little add a layer of gold paint. Using one of the larger snowflake stamps from the Boarder set, stamp off the ink (from the Gelli plate onto a piece of paper).

When done add some cream paint & take a print. 

Leave your prints to dry.. 

Using the 4” bauble template draw around the inside with a Micron Pen & cut out… 

Add some Evergreen Bough Distress Ink around the edges & some extra down one side… 

Add some snowflake’s from the Boarders set, with a teal ink … 

Cut your print down to approximately 14cm. Stamp, freehand, some of the text onto your background… 

Stamp some snowflake’s in gold ink onto your background . Add some Distress Oxide Antique Linen & Distress Ink Evergreen Bough around the edges… 

Glue the baubles to your background, I used some foam pads behind two of them.. 

Using an off cut of a background paper stamp the Crackin’ Christmas sentiment, cut out & add a white piece of paper to create a ‘mat & layer’ … 

Glue  the sentiment to your card & add a few sparkles.. 

Thank you for stopping by and Happy Christmas … Ann xxx
