Happy 15th Birthday - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card created with lots of fun products from Bee Arty. This card was created for my daughters recent 15th birthday. She loves swimming and the water so the Saltwater collection was perfect to use.

 

I created the card base from a 12"x12" page of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. I cut it down to 28cmx14cm and folded in half to give a 14cm square card. 

The background paper is a 13.5cm square and 13cm square cut from Saltwater paper pack. 

 The chipboard "15" is coloured with Midnight Colour Shimmer Dust (mixed with water). 

I've fussy cut black and white images from the Saltwater paper pack. 

I've added diecuts created with Aussie Leaves metal die set and 250gsm Heavy White Cardstock and silver net mirror board. 

Other embellishments were from my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by

21st Card - With Bee Arty!

Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a 21st Birthday card to share with you made using products from the Forever My Always collection from Bee Arty.  These papers are so pretty and perfect for a 21st birthday card :)

 

 

I created the card base from a 12"x12" page of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. I cut it down to 28cmx14cm and folded in half to give a 14cm square card.

 

I used Matte Brown foil Mirror board for the card front mat 13.5cmx13.5cm and also for the diecuts cut using the My Flower metal die. I actually cut the leaves apart from the flower so I could space them across the card front. I also used the Numbers metal die from the Fireworks collection.

 

The background is 12.5cmx12.5cm cut from the Best By Far paper. The flowers and leaves were fussy cut from the Forever My Always collection pack.

Cards - With Bee Arty!

  Hi Lovelies!

Today I have two cards to share with you made using the Destination Anywhere collection from Bee Arty. I love this collection, it is perfect for masculine projects and family layouts!

 

  

 I started by creating 2 diecuts, using heavyweight 350gsm white cardstock, of the Grungy Filmstrip frame die for the front of my cards.

I then painted Rust Colour Artist Ink on one frame and Walnut Colour Artist ink on the other. I painted with a brush to give a mottled effect using a more concentrated ink in places and more watered down in other places.

 

 

Here are my finished cards.

 

 

 Here is a close up of the first card "Keep Calm and Travel On". My card base measured 10.5cm x 14.8cm and was created from Kraft cardstock. I matted 10cm x 14.3cm Journey paper (reverse side) from the Destination Anywhere collection. I then added the frame diecut painted in Rust ink. I die cut 2 of the planes using the Transport metal dies (in white cardstock) and painted a Rust Artist ink coloured stripe along the side to coordinate with the card colours and to tone down the stark white. I cut one of the planes in half and adhered them to the card as shown. I cut the card title from the Parcel paper and around the title I added a strip offcut from a Grungy Filmstrip diecut (these negative strips are as fun to use as the positive cuts). Lastly I added some hessian trim and black sewing thread.

 

The next card is called "Sightseeing". Once again the card base measured 10.5cm x 14.8cm and was created from Kraft cardstock. I matted 10cm x 14.3cm Journey paper (reverse side) from the Destination Anywhere collection. I then added the frame diecut painted in Walnut ink. I die cut 1 of the Combi-Van's using the Transport metal dies (in white cardstock) and painted an Olive Grove Mica Powder stripe along the side. I adhered it to the card as shown and attached 2 vintage brads to the wheels. I cut the card title from the Parcel paper and adhered it over some hessian trim, a chipboard offcut, and black sewing thread.

Happy 13th Birthday - With Scrapping Clearly!

  Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a card that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly. The card was for my daughters 13th birthday - she is growing up too fast!

 

 

To create the background I used heavy weight white cardstock and painted Prima watercolour confections Pastel Dreams (browns and pinks with highlights of yellow) across the card. When this had dried I added splatters of each colour. 

 

Then I added sparkly stencilling using an Aall and Create stencil and Bo Bunny Rose Gold Glitter Paste.

 

I matted the card background on some pink paper from the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Daydream collection 6x8 paper pack then mounted this on a 14cm x 14cm card base. Lastly I found some chipboard and white gauze that I painted with the Prima watercolour confections Pastel Dreams to coordinate.   

Here is the finished card.

Artsy Arabia Christmas Cards - With Scrapping Clearly!

 Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a set of 3 Christmas cards that I created using the Art-By-Marlene Artsy Arabia collection available at Scrapping Clearly! 

 

 

 I started by creating card bases using heavy weight white cardstock (10.5cm x 14.8cm). I cut the Artsy Arabia SCRAPBM01 paper to size 10cm x 14.3cm as a mat for the card base. I also cut more white down to 9cm x 13.3 cm to use as a background for my cards.

   I added paint to the backgrounds using Art-By-Marlene Bold and Bright watercolor paints - to give a watercolour wash effect. 

 

  

 I selected a number of the lantern elements from from the Artsy Arabia Die-Cut book - I thought these looked like Christmas ornaments.

Here is the first of my completed cards - I love the fun and quirky vibe with the Artsy Arabia collection. 

 

 

 The other 2 cards are created in a similar manner - just add a stamped Christmas sentiment to finish.

 

 Thanks so much for stopping by!

Christmas Cards - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Lovelies!

Today I have some Christmas cards to share with you made using lots of amazing products from Bee Arty! I have also used non-christmasy supplies to create the cards. I'm always looking for different ways to use my supplies to extend their use and I'm really happy with how these turned out.

 

 

For this first set of 5 cards I've used stencils and metal dies from the Find Paradise Collection. You can also see a video of how I created this set of cards here.

 

For each of the cards I created a background on heavy duty 350gsm white cardstock. I also used the same cardstock to create the card base. I used Kraft cardstock as a mat.

 

For the first card I used the Foliage A4 stencil and Bling Colour Paste to create a "tree-like" image. I just applied the paste through the berry part of the stencil to achieve this. I then added a sentiment using a word stamp, versamark ink and Bling Colour Embossing Powder.

 

 

 For the next card I used the Foliage A4 stencil and Bling Colour Paste to create a different "tree-like" image. I just applied the paste through leaf part of the stencil to achieve this. I then added a sentiment using a word stamp, versamark ink and Bling Colour Embossing Powder.

 

 

For the next 3 cards I used the the Leaves of Paradise metal die set with Kraft cardstock to create 3 "tree-like" images to add to the card fronts. I then added a sentiment using a word stamp, versamark ink and Bling Colour Embossing Powder. I then added pearls to embellish the trees. Lastly I used a clear Shimmer Pen to make the trees sparkle.

 

 

 For this next card I used the Kind Heart stamp to provide the focal point for the card. This mandalla looked so Christmasy to me.

 

 

I started by stamping the Kind Heart stamp with versamark then using the Taupe embossing powder from the Elegant Rose embossing powder bundle. I then added an embossed sentiment, gold thread and some rhinestones for sparkle.

Cards - With Bee Arty!

Hi Lovelies!

Today I have some cards to share with you made using lots of amazing products from Bee Arty!

 

 I created this set of cards using similar papers and techniques to the scrapbook page I created a few weeks ago. Whenever I create I like to make a number of projects with the same supplies. That is what I love about kit clubs - everything you need is in the kit and you don't get overwhelmed by all your other craft supplies.

 

 

For each of the cards I created a background on heavy duty 350gsm white cardstock.  I add some stenciling using Colour Mica Powders mixed with modelling paste and the Crab Art stencil. I'm using Cool Mint, Peach Nectar and Stormy weather Colour Mica Powders to coordinate with the Find Paradise Collection papers. 

 

I matted the stencilled backgrounds on papers from the Find Paradise Collection. Then I added a selection of leaf and flower diecuts created using the Leaves of Paradise metal die set, Flower Power die set, white cardstock, and paper from the Find Paradise Collection. I painted a chipboard Happy birthday embellishment with Midnight/Peacock Colour Shimmer dust, then I added a paper clip, and some sparkly rhinestones.

 

 For the third card I add some stenciling using Colour Mica Powders mixed with modelling paste and the Arches stencil. Once again I use Cool Mint, Peach Nectar and Stormy weather Colour Mica Powders to coordinate with the Find Paradise Collection papers. 

 

 

I matted the stencilled background on papers from the Find Paradise Collection. Then I added a selection of leaf diecuts created using the Leaves of Paradise metal die set and white cardstock. I added words cut from the Relax word paper embellished with a paper clip and some sparkly rhinestones.

Honey & Spice Cards - With Scrapping Clearly!

Hi Lovelies!!

Today I have some cards to share with you made using various products available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.

For my card backgrounds I've used white cardstock and painted with using Decadent Pies Prima Watercolor Confections (pink, green, brown). Once this was dry I added splatters of each colour as well.

I also coloured 2 pieces of muslin with the Decadent Pies Prima Watercolor Confections (pink and green). 

I matted the backgrounds on papers from the Heidi Swapp Honey & Spice 12x12 paper pad. I then embellished with the green coloured muslin, some burlap, white diecuts,   Heidi Swapp Emerson Lane ephemera and  Heidi Swapp Emerson Lane photo corners.

How cool does the layering look! This is a great way to use up lots of bits and pieces on your craft desk!
