#thishappened - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the new Full Circle collection available from Bee Arty.

 

  

I created a mixed media background on a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. I added stencilling using Texture Paste and the Connect The Dots Stencil from Full Circle. 

 

Then I added drops of Fluro Purple Mica powder and used a puffer tool to "puff" it across the page.

 

Next add stamping using stamps from the Spotted Stamp Set and Black Archival ink.

 

  

Here is the finished background.

 

 

Here is my completed page. I decided to rotate the background to use with my photo combination.

 

  

I've used 3 photos each measuring 5cm x 9cm portrait. I've mounted them on black Cardstock which contrasts the fluro purple colour. I've used black cardstock to create diecuts using the Connected Stencil. I cut the diecut on the diagonal and adhered it under my photos as shown in the main image.

 

 

I used my sewing machine to add stitching around the edge of the page. Fussy cut elements are from the Forward Paper. The chipboard words have been painted with Soot Colour Artist Dye Ink. I also added stamping from a roller stamp. I added a journalling spot to the bottom of the page using a stamp from the Circa Stamp Set.

 

Full Circle is a bright and fun collection with grungy vibes, and is designed by the talented Michelle Grant. You will love this collection - the stamps, stencils and dies are not to be missed!

Birthday Cards pt2 - With Bee Arty!

Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have 6 birthday cards to share with you made using the new Wild At Heart Collection available from Bee Arty.

 

 

I cut 6 pieces of 9cmx13.2cm 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. Then I stamped around/on the edge of each using the Wild Leopard stamp set and the 1928 Fragment and Text stamp set and Black Archival ink. These form the mats on the cards.

 

 

 

I wanted to add colour to the stamped backgrounds so I mixed a Velvet Colour Shimmer Dust with Mocha Colour Spray to give a dusty pink shade to match the Wild at Heart papers. The pic below shows on the RHS Velvet only and LHS Velvet+Mocha.

 

I added a colour wash (using a wide paintbrush and plenty of water) of Velvet+Mocha to 3 of the stamped backgrounds (in different intensities) and Mocha to the other 3.

 

I made 6 card bases measuring a finished size of 14.5cmx10.5cm using 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. I added a colour wash of Velvet+Mocha to the front of 3 of the cards (in different intensities) and Mocha to 3 of them.

 

Then I used the Lost Symbol A6 stencil and some of the colour wash applied with a sponge on the card fronts (just around the edges).

 

Below you can see the stamped card on the left and the stenciled card front on the right for each of the 3 Velvet+Mocha cards, for a lighter colour I added more water to the wash.

 

Below you can see the stamped cards and the stenciled card fronts for the 3 Mocha cards.

 

 

 I matted the stamped card onto the stenciled card front, then added a card cut from the Expedition Paper. I also added fussy cuts from the Roar Paper, as well as flowers from my stash. I stamped "Happy birthday" from the Embrace Change Collection onto White Cardstock and added to the card.

 

 

Wild At Heart has soft tropical vibes with versatile elements, and is designed by the talented Karen Yates. You will love this collection - the stamps, stencils and dies are not to be missed!

Hello My Love - With Bee Arty!

  Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the Botanicals Collection available from Bee Arty.

 

  

This page was inspired by the July mood board and sketch challenge. I loved this sketch - but I'm a bit late with the challenge, oops.

 

 

For this page I used a Kraft cardstock base - it goes perfectly with this collection! I cut a piece of Elegant Paper (I love the woodgrain!) down to 24cm x 22cm and attached to the center of the page. Then added some torn strips of velum to the top and bottom.  

Here is my completed page, along with some photos from a Birthday date with my honey.

 Fussy cut elements are from the Blooms paper in the Botanicals paper collection pack. The "Hello My Love" card is from Hello My Love paper. I have also punched out the "Enjoy" circle from the top right of the Hello My Love paper and used my button maker to create a flair. Gold thread and paper flowers from my stash were a perfect addition. I used some 250gsm Heavy White Cardstock and the Flower Stems metal die set to create some diecuts for my embellishment clusters. The punchinella was leftover from the kit.  

 

Botanicals has soft floral vibes with versatile elements, and is designed by the talented Amy Evans. You will love this collection - the stamps, stencils and dies are not to be missed!

Birthday Cards - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have 2 birthday cards to share with you made using the new Wild At Heart Collection available from Bee Arty.

 

 

Card bases both measure 14.5cmx10.5cm using 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. For the first card I matted a 14.3cmx10cm piece cut from Tropical Paper (reverse). Then using a purple/burgundy paper (from the kit) I diecut using the 1929 Art Deco metal die. I added fussy cuts from the Roar Paper, as well as left over sequins and gold thread from the kit. I stamped "Happy birthday" from the Embrace Change Collection onto White Cardstock and added to the card.

 

The second card was created in a similar way but this time I used white cardstock for the diecut against a burgundy background.

Beauty - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Crafty Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the Botanicals Collection available from Bee Arty.

 

 

This page was inspired by the July mood board and sketch challenge. I loved this sketch - but I'm a bit late with the challenge :)

 

 I created a mixed media background on a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. First I sewed a square in the middle of the page using my sewing machine and black thread. Then I painted a wash of Wine Colour Shimmer Dust. I splattered water onto the page (with my fingers) then dabbed with a paper towel - this removes colour and gives a watercolour look. When this was dry I added splatters of Wine and Midnight Colour Shimmer Dust. 

 

I added stamping using a black inkpad and the Untamed Stamp Set from Botanicals. 

I added stencilling using texture paste applied through the Stems stencil from Botanicals collection.

 

Here is my completed page, along with a beautiful photo of Jessica riding Tommy :) 

 

 Fussy cut elements are from the Blooms paper in the Botanicals paper collection pack. The words are from Hello My Love paper. I have punched out the "Beauty" circle from the top right of the Hello My Love paper and used my button maker to create a flair. Flowers, gold thread, hessian and gauze from my stash were perfect additions to the embellishment clusters. 

I used some 250gsm Heavy White Cardstock and the Flower Stems metal die set to create some diecuts for my embellishment clusters.
