Karen DT- Hello You

Hi happy crafters xx

Guess what I've been playing with for my weekly Bee Crafty blog post?..  its those fabulous Doodle Art stamp sets again 🤣 I can't get enough of them . So much fun and versatility 😁

For today's make I used:
Doodle Art regular Bird
XL Everyday Sentiments 
Distress Oxides 
Piece of bubble wrap!
Kuretake clean colour pens
Sparkle pens
Gelli plate

I created this background with my Gelli Plate,  Distress Oxides, and a piece of Bubblewrap 🤣

(You can get similar effect by applying the Distress Oxides to an acrylic block and spritzing with water. Press on to card blank, then stamp bits of the bubble wrap, inked up with a contrasting colour Oxide).

I stamped some of the elements randomly around my card, in black onyx Versafine. 

The bird and flowers were stamped in black onyx Versafine, coloured in with sparkle pens and cut out, before adhering with 3d glue gel. 

I also coloured in the leaves and branches of the swirl foliage, with my kuretake clean colour pens.

I stamped the Sentiment in Versafine and finished by drawing a wiggly frame around the inked panel.

And there we go 😁

Thanks for popping by and I'll be back soon

Caz Harwood - Winter Wonderland card

PRODUCTS USED: 

Bee Crafty Doodle art snowflake stamps

https://www.beecrafty.net/bee-crafty-yuletide-doodle-art-stamps-snowflakes.ir

Distress oxides 

White gesso

Clear embossing powder

Versamark ink

Archival black ink

6x6 card blank and mat

HOW TO MAKE:

Smoosh some peacock feathers oxide ink onto the card panel

Then go over the top with same technique using wilted violet oxide ink. (Regular distress ink will work also)

Then stamp the snowflake stamp in white gesso staggered over the background

Spritz the remaining gesso with water and use an old messy paintbrush to create spatters (flicking bristles on a tooth brush works too)

Then stamp more snowflakes in wilted violet to add dimension

Stamp the biggest Snowflake onto separate card along with the Winter Wonderland sentiment - fussy cut. Also randomly stamp the sentiment as part of the background too

Swipe a Versamark ink pad over the background - you don't have to fully cover - this will give a glossy, icy feel to it once heat embossed

Add sprinkled sugar stickles to the fussy cut snowflake for an icy look.

Add the snowflake and sentiment onto your card using dimensional foam tape and do a squiqqle border around the card panel...you're done!

Hope you like!

Jane DT - Gelli Print Butterfly Memory Dex Card

Hello!

This week on the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty blog I created a project that included some gelli printing!  This is a technique that I love when other people use it but that I really struggle with myself, so I decided that I needed to have some more practise and used the plate to create a background for a Memory Dex card.

I also filmed the process which you can link to here...

https://youtu.be/aFy02q73GsI

After creating a background using the gelli plate and acrylic paint I added some extra stenciling with the metal alpha d'inkable.

Then I did some background stamping using the stitch borders set with archival ink pads.

To create the focal points I stamped the film strip onto heat resistant acetate using Versafine and embossed with clear powder on the top.  I stamped the tape measure from the stitch borders and the butterfly from the dragonfly and butterfly set onto a piece of waste card that I had cleaned my brayer on.

When these were all cut out I layered them up using glue gel adding some black cotton thread as well for extra texture.

Finally I used a sentiment from the small words set...

To create this project I used the following products:

* D'inkables - Distressed Harlequin; Metal Alpha; Circles; Circle Lattice, Honeycomb, Chevrons
* Art Stamps - Stitch Borders
* Art Stamps - Texture, Film Strip and Circles
* Art Stamps - Dragonfly & Butterfly
* Wordage - Small Words
* Archival Inkpads
* Clear Embossing Powder

I am certainly going to be getting my gelli plate out more to get extra practise but it was good fun!

Thank you for looking and happy crafting!

Karen DT - November page

Morning xx
As it's my turn on the Bee Crafty blog I am sharing the November page from a Calendar I made for a friend.
I used the beautiful Bird on a Branch and
Large Branch and Tree set

Also used:
Maple easy frame 
Distress Oxides
Black Versafine

To begin my page I worked out where my Tree was going to go, then I used my easy frame stencil to create the effect of the leaves on the tree. I blended Distress Oxides through them, masking each one off, using the innie.

I stamped the Tree over the top of the inked leaves, in Black Onyx Versafine.

The Bird in the Branch was also stamped,  slightly off the page, in the Black Versafine.

To complete I stamped the sentiment in the same Distress Oxides,  as the leaves.

I love making gifts for friends and I hope you enjoyed todays make.

I used watering can Archival ink as it's subtle.

Then I did a border around the tag using the film strip stamp and versafine onyx black. I only inked the edge.

Focal point is the daisy stamp, which I stamped in versafine onyx black.

Jane DT - Bauble Christmas Card

Hello!

This week on the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty blog I have made a fairly quick and easy Christmas card...

I started by using the 6" bauble 2 stencil on a piece of white stamping card.  Using distress inks (crushed olive and peeled paint) through the aperture then adding some doodling around and inside the image.

Then I used the stencil and the mask to add the doodle bauble set tree image inside and behind the bauble, before adding some more of the trees.  These were then coloured using my pens...

Next I added some of the little stars to the bauble then used the border stamp to create strings for the main image and one of the little baubles which I stamped and cut out twice.  After adding a bit more distress ink to the card edges I stamped the sentiment from the doodle robin set and added it to the card as well...

Here are the products that I used:

* Easy Frame - Bauble 2 (6")
* Yuletide Doodle Art Stamps - Baubles (regular)
* Yuletide Doodle Art Stamps - Robin (regular)
* Distress Ink Pads

Thank you for looking and happy crafting!

Karen DT- Life is Good

Hey everyone xx

The Gelli plate has been out again for this week's Bee Crafty blog. Thought I'd also get out some of the Wildflowers, from the BEAUtanicals range,and see where they led me.

Products used:
Wildflower: 1, 2, 5
Moon
Life is good sentiment stamp
Dinkables
Distress Oxides 
Gel Plate

I inked up my Gelli Plate with Distress Oxides and spritzed with a bit of water.

I then blended various Oxides through the Honeycomb and Leafy Branch Dinkables.

I lifted of a print on to a square of white card.

Once dry i stamped 3 different Wildflowers, in different Oxides, first and second generation, to get depth and dimension to my image. 

The Moon was stamped in Oxides, slightly off the edge of the card.

The Sentiment was stamped in Smokey Grey Versafine 

I matted this on to Rainbow Mirri card and then on to my card blank.

And that completes todays make. I hope you like the result. 

See you again soon
