DT Kerrie - FASHIONettes 'Vera'

Hiya and welcome to my Tuesday post her at Bee Crafty Stamps

I made myself a promise this New Year that I would make use of as much of my crafty stash as I could without spending too much on New - well I've still been tempted with a few new things like magazines and a new case for my Copic Markers but I have also got out some old favourite things like Versamark and Clear Embossing Powder 

I stamped FASHIONettes 'Vera' using Archival Ink and then made a mask of her using Eclipse Tape (another oldie but goodie) I covered the stamped image using the mask and then rough stamped the 'Backdrop - Bubble Wrap Positive' stamp over, I removed the mask which left her uninked. I then coloured her using some of my Pencils

The Background Paper I created using BEAUtanicals 'Cow Parsley' & 'Branches' stamps with Versamark and Clear Embossing powder which I heated with a heat gun to create a resist, I then inked over using distress inks but the stamped areas stayed white and raised. I then stamped a smaller stamp around using distress ink to add a different texture

I also stamped the larger leaf stamp onto cardstock and cut out to created the leaves for my floral embellishment.

I hope you like the softer artsy look I created this week and I do hope you will visit the blog again soon there are different posts each day from different team members

Bubbly Judith

Thank goodness it's the weekend! This week saw the launch of Dylusions new paints, boy am I excited! They are available at Bee Crafty to pre-order for the beginning of February. Yes I have already ordered mine and I can't wait to play!

Back to this weeks make I have chosen to use Judith from the FASHONettes stamps.

 

For this card I have used:

Fashionettes - Judith

Backdrop soapy bubbles

Backdrop Zebra

Wordage Life & rain (The word 'life')

Wordage Live with no excuses (The word 'love')

Distress inks

Promarkers

Embossing powders

 

I started of by stamping and heat embossing Judith (sounds painful) and then masking her so I could ink in a background of picked raspberry. Using a purple ink pad I stamped the bubbles and zebra backgrounds. Judith was coloured in using promarkers. In random areas of the bubbles I painted on some mica powders from my stash. I stamped the sentiments onto some coordinating card and cut out the words 'love' and 'life'.

Thank you for visiting today, have you all been crafting, buying crafty bits or are you all holding out for the new releases? I love to hear your thoughts and comments.

 

Happy crafting,

Hugs,

DT Kerrie - BEAUtanicals Dandelion With Love

Hiya and welcome to my Tuesday blogpost for Bee Crafty Stamps today I ams sharing with you 2 makes using a stamping techniques I havent used in a while Bleaching & Lemon Juice and the lovely BEAUtanicals Dandelion and Wordage Minis - With Love

For this first one I used watercolour card trimmed to fit a 6x6 cardblank, I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks  and a blending tool to randomly colour the watercolour card. I then used the Da Vinci Script stamp with some bleach to stamp over the background - this removes the colour of the ink and gives a nice effect. I matted this background panel uaing black mirror board and fixed to the card front. I stamped the Dandelion stamp onto stamping cardstock using black inkpad and randomly inked the edges using the distress inks again. I matted this topper onto black mirror board and attached to the card front using foam tape at a jaunty angle. The sentiment was stamped, inked and matted in the same way and fixed to the cardfront with foam pads. I used an off cut of black mirror for the strip down the side and 2 dazzle flat backs to finish off the card.

For my second make I wanted to show a way of using the stamps to create a vintage effect.

I cut a nice sized bookmark from watercolour card. I tipped a few drops of lemon juice onto my non-stick craft mat and dipped a piece of cut & dry foam into it and sponged onto the Dandelion stamp and pressed this onto the watercolour card. I then did the same using the With Love sentiment and stamped it underneath the dandelion. Using the damp cut&dry foam I dragged it around the edge of the bookmark. I then heated the bookmark using my heat tool to heat the lemon juice as it burns it turns brown. I love this effect. I then matted the bookmark onto gold mirror board. made a hole using a hole punch, added an eyelet and threaded some ribbon through. 

Thank you so much for visiting my post today and I do hope you will visit again soon

Marleen DT - Border & DaVinci

Morning everyone..

Wow.. 7th of January already.. And my first post of the year for

Bee Crafty.

For today Ive used the Backdrops Border stamp called "Clover" and the "Science of Beauty" stamp from the DaVinci range.

Here is what Ive made:

I just LOVE how this card turned out.. Depending on how you turn it and the lights hit, the background stamping "dissapers".
I made the background using clear embossing powder then sprayed with home made glimmer sprays. The spray sat in little droplets on top of the embossing, but instead of wiping off the droplets, I tokk the heatgun to it. As the embossing powder re-melted the droplets set into the embossing powder. Its looks brill if I do say so myself..
The black mat behind the beauty is just black cardstock cut to size and then stamped and embossed with clear embossing powder.
My beauty is stamped onto siver mirri card and embossed with black embossing powder.
I finished the card with a sentiment, bow and a few black flat back pearls.

And that is all from me for today.

Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

DT Kerrie - Backdrop Boarder - Clover & Cowardly Lion

Hiya and Welcome to my first Tuesday Post for Bee Crafty Stamps 

I was so so chuffed to be asked to join the team by our Bev quite a while ago and keeping it a scret has been so tough - I first met Bev at a craft show at Alexandra Palace I was looking for Wizard of Oz stamps at the time which of course I found on Bev's gorgeous stand and I got hooked on Bee Crafty from there - I then also took part in a workshop with Bev at NEC Birmingham where I brought even more of the Gorgeous Stamps - I fast became a Bee Crafty addict

Today I get to share with you an idea I had while deciding how to use the 'Backdrop Border - Clover' stamp, where I have used the stamp look like a field of Poppies - I also used 'Wizard of Oz - Cowardly Lion' and 'Wizard of Oz - Sentiment - Courage'

I stamped the Lion first and then using Distress Markers to colour directly onto the stamp I stamped the Border twice to resemble the field of poppies for the Lion to be sitting among - I then coloured him using Copic Markers.

I die cut the sentiment stamp using a circle die which i then cut out a slightly larger circle from mirror board and attached ribbon behind it to look like a rosette. I chose a simple matt of mirror baord behind the stamped background and image as I wanted no distraction from the stamps.

I hope you have liked my first Tuesday Post and I will be back next week so I hope to see you then x

Happy New Year Bloggers

Happy new year to you all, I hope you have had an amazing christmas and enjoyed the New Years celebrations. I for one have enjoyed the rest and feel recharged from being off work. I could come close to say that I could quite get used to hibernation and happily shut myself away for another couple of weeks. Alas this is not to be as it is back to work for me on Monday. Boo!

 

Well on my return to blog land I bring with me my latest DT make for Bee Crafty.

 

For this card I used:

Inspired by davinci - science of beauty stamp

Inspired by davinci - Script stamp

Inkables mask - damask

Wordage stamp - joy is a flower

Distress inks

Promarkers

Flowers

 

I stamped the image first and did a second stamp on a post-it to make a mask. For the background I used bundled sage, through the Inkables mask I sponged iced spruce. The script stamp was stamped with antique photo. I then smugged antique photo around the outside of the card before matting and layering. I used some flowers from my stash but Bee Crafty have a great selection of flowers to choose from.

 

That's my first blog of 2015 with many more to come. Wishing you all an amazing crafty year!

 

Crafty hugs,

Clare x x xx

Marleen DT - Backdrops Borders

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone..

I hope you all have a great evening/night but PLEASE STAY SAFE..

Me and my family are partying at home with a big group of loved ones but I still wanted to make a quick post to share my project for this week for

Bee Crafty.

Ive used the Backgrounds Border stamp called "Clover" 

as well as an old favorite "Glad I did it" 

I made this card using the stamps, black embossing powder, mica powder, distress inks, a paper ribbon and flat back pearls.
I wanted to make something that was still festive but no longer christmas, hence the choice of colours. The whole card is smothered in mica powder to give it a real shine..

Anyway its PARTY TIME... Have a great and SAFE new year everyone and I will see you all soon again. 

Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

As you read this, im sitting with my family celebrating christmas. I come from Denmark and in Denmark, we celebrate christmas on christmas eve. Today we will have our christmas dinner, exchange presents, sing loads of carols as well as eating sweets and treats till we burst.

Never the less, I still want to share a christmas card Ive made for

Trees and Winter wonderland

You can find them in the SHOP with all the other amazing stamps

Here is what Ive made:

 

A card made with the stamps, red embossing powder, a star stencil and LOADS of distress inks..
The colours are a bit unusual for a christmas card, but I love yellow and red together and I think it really makes the card stand out.
