Marleen DT - Trees & Winter Wonderland

Hey guys..

Wednesday again and this weeks post for 

Bee Crafty

For today, Ive made a little christmas card. I normally start making christmas cards in the summer holiday, but as I still have left over from last year I didnt have to start too early this year..
So with that, it IS time to start though lol..

For today Ive used the "Trees & Winter Wonderland" stamp from the STORE.

 

 I really like simple christmas cards. Often because I have to make around 60-70 every year but often also because I know that after christmas they will all be binned.
I fully respect that but it does mean that I tend not to add too much embelishments on them.
And with that in mind, I love making the most of stamps and tools that can be used over and over to keep costs down yet still make fantastic looking projects.

This card is simple matting and layering with the stamps stamped with Archival ink. My background is made with an embossing folder and to finish it all off, I made a sparkle spray to jazz up the whole card.

If you wanna see how to make your own shimmer spray, Ive made a little YOUTUBE on how. Pop over to check it out.

And that is all from me for today.

Thanks for popping by and for any comments left behind.

Marleen DT - Vera & Christmas

Good morning blogger friends..

Time for another post from me for 

Bee crafty

Having been on the Bee Crafty DT for a while now, Im starting to have a good collection of Bee Crafty Stamps. But like many other crafters, I tend to get something new and then forget about the "old". And I really find that with christmas stash. We get some new christmas stash, but as soon as its all over, we pack it away and forget al about it. Next christmas we do it all over again until our shelves and boxes are overflowing..  

Ok to get to the point... I was looking through my Bee Craft stamp box and came across the christmas stamps, and as I really love them, I thought Id have a play but without making a christmas project..

And that is how my tag came together for today.

For this tag I used:
Vera from the FASHIOetttes Collection

Trees & Winter wonderland set from the Yuletide Collection

You can find these and all the other yummy stamps in the 
STORE...

Here is what Ive made:

 

For this tag (made from water colour card stock)  I started by stamping my christmas trees in black staz-on. I stamped them of the side so the top of the trees aren't on the tag at all. I then smothered my tag with distress stains and pads.  I used a stencil and pearl texture paste to make the bubbles.
Vera was stamped and coloured with Promarkers, cut out and added with glue gel to add some more dimention. My tag is finished off with a couple of hearts and a couple of beads.

And that is all from me for today. I hope you like my wee tag.
Many thanks for popping by and for any comments left behind.
