I have Started Up Another Blog - For my Planner's etc x

Hiya and Welcome to my Post about New Blog for my Planner Bubble

I would love for you to visit the New blog via the link below and Follow Me x x

http://krazyplannergurlkezzla.blogspot.co.uk/

Here I will post about my Fave Planners, my Plan/Kraft Area, any new buys or new planner shops I have found either online or locally - I hope you will like what you see and will visit me often x x

So first for a few pics of my Planner Collection...

On the Top Shelf of my Korner Desk are my 6 Webster's Pages planners, one of my Happy Planners, and some of my Personal Size Filofaxes x x

I must admit I love this Shelf of Personals, i love all the colours - 6 are Sandringham's & 5 Filofaxes

9 A5 Filofaxes and 1 A5 Carpe Diem - I do love to collect lots of similar colours

The Pockets and Mini's are so so cute x x

 

& my Rose Gold - Kate Spade Wellesley xx

I absolutely love all my planners - there are a couple not in the pics and i also have 3 more on the way - I know its crazy but I just cannot help myself x x

I even have my 4 children into planning too, William 15 has a Black Personal Zip Planner, Ashleigh 13 has a Lilac Piazza Filofax personal, Webster's pages Teal & Light Pink and a personal Floral Filofax, Ethan 9 has a Black Finsbury Personal and little Becca 7 has a Pink Classic personal Filofax, Webster's Pages Light Pink and a Pink Finsbury pocket Filofax. They all love washi and stickers and keeping track of their homework and activities in them. I am training them all well x lol

I have a few layout's from the last few weeks to show you aswell

I love to mixed up my weekly, monthly and daily pages using my washi's, stickers and my craft stash too - I am beginning to see a favourite style coming through with vintage, shabby chic mixed with pastels - I do sometimes use slightly brighter colours but only as a hint of rather than lots 

I absolutely adore these little stickers that I buy from eBay from Japan and Korea. The floral washi's are a Fave of mine aswell. I tend to use pen colours to match into the colour theme ive picked for the week. I am also learning to make my own stickers using my Cameo machine and label paper 

This week's theme is a little brighter due to the washi I chose for the ring strenghtener strips, I like to do that to prevent tearing of my pages in my always over stuffed planner's x The planner I am using for February is my Sea Green Sandringham personal size - its such a beautiful planner and the Leather is amazingly soft and lush x x

Ok that's it for my first post as it's a little long and a lot rambly - I hope to see you here again soon

Kerrie DT - Life is Good - Bee Crafty

Hiya and welcome to my Monday Post for Bee Crafty

This week I have been playing with a few of my New Bee Craft Stamps and oh how I love them

I teamed the Stamps with Inkables Templates and lots of Distress Inks

Items I used on this project that are available from Bee Crafty

Stamps:

Backdrops Frames - Style Wire Circle Large

Backdrops Frames - Splatter Swirl Circle

Backdrops Borders - Flower Distress Border

WORDage - Life is Good

Templates:

Inkables Template - Circles

Inkables Template - Easy Frame Circle

Inkables Template - Dots

Inks

Distress Ink - Spun Sugar

Distress Ink - Worn Lipstick

Distress Ink - Pumice Stone

Distress Ink - Frayed Burlap

Distress Stain Spray - Antique Linen

I trimmed a piece of  watercolour cardstock and inked through the 'Easy Frame Circle' using first 'Spun Sugar' and then 'Worn Lipstick' distress inks. I inked over the 'Circle' cut out from the frame set into the corners of the cardstock. I then inked over the corners again using the 'Circles Template'. Once dry I sprayed the 'Antique Linen' stain spray through the 'Dots Template' i sprinkled over some salt and dried using my Heat-It tool.

I then I stamped the 'Style Wire - Frame' offset from the pink circle using embossing ink and heat embossed using gold embossing powder. I also inked up just the swirls of the 'Splatter Swirl Circle' and stamped it twice around the wire circle frame, I heat embossed these using the gold embossing powder.

I then inked up the stem of the 'Flower Distress Border' and repeatedly stamped this around the edges to create a frame, using embossing ink and gold embossing powder I heat embossed like before. I used a scrap of card to Ink and heat emboss just the Flower from the Flower Distress Border, I then cut these out, I embossed them over the backs using a round embossing tool and a soft embossing mat to give them dimention. 

I stamped the 'Life is Good' WORDage stamp into the centre of the circle using 'Frayed Burlap' distress ink. I then fixed the dimentional flowers to the edge of the circle (where the two Swirls meet) using my hot glue gun. I inked the edges of this topper I created using 'Pumice Stone' distress ink.

To finish my card I matt and layered the topper using Cream and Brown pearlescent cardstocks.

Bee Crafty DT - FASHIONette Mary - Happy Birthday

Hiya and Welcome to my Monday Post for Bee Crafty

Another FASHIONette make from me today, this time it's MARY I adore these pretty/girly stamps they are so much fun to colour up using any medium but Fave of course are Alcohol Markers

Products I used that are available over at Bee Crafty's shop...

FASHIONette - Mary

Inkables - Circle Easy Frame Template

Backdrop Border - Spatter Swirl

WORDage - Happy Birthday/With Love

Distress Inks - Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Seedless Preserves

Ink Blending Tool

I used a masking technique for this project. I stamped Mary first onto super smooth cardstock using light grey ink and then again onto masking paper (large post-its could also be used). I cut round Mary on the masking paper and fixed over the stamped image on the super smooth cardstock so I could ink a circle over her but leaving her completely blank. I used Distress Ink pads and my Inkables Circle Easy Frame Template for this. 

Leaving the Mask in place I then Stamped the Splatter Swirl stamp around the sides in grey ink and then inked lightly over the edges using black ink. I also inked a few spotty areas using Seedless Preserves distress ink and a small circle pattern template.

I pulled back the Mask to reveal my still clean stamped image of Mary, who I then coloured using my Alchohol Markers. Where I had stamped her in light grey ink the lines are softer and almost disappear when using Markers over it (I love this effect) - I drew over her Eyelashes with a fine Black Drawing Pen to make them stand out.

I added some gems and a Sentiment to finish

Bee Craft Stamps - FASHIONette's - Tracy 'Important to be Nice'

Hiya and Welcome to my Monday Post for Bee Crafty

I jumped back into my own comfortzone for today's post with Alcohol Markers and Pretty Colours

I picked my 3 backing papers first from my stash and trimmed them down and layered them up along with Mirror Board and Pearlescent Cardstock - I love the lots of layers look

I stamped and coloured 'FASHIONette - Tracy' and coloured her using my Alcohol Markers to match the papers I chose. I stamped the swirl part from 'Yuletide - Holly Swirl' (Christmas stamps are not just for Christmas) around the edges of the image using 'Pumice Stone' Distress Ink to make into a topper. The Sentiment 'Important to be Nice' is from  'WORDage' collection, I stamped this using the same Distress Ink, layered with some dark brown card and fixed between the layers at the side of the 'Tracy' topper

I created the floral bouquets using 'Fabulous Flowers - Star Flowers' stamped using 'Pumice Stone' Distress Ink, fussy cut them out and coloured them with Alcohol markers to match the image. I also used the 'Larger Branch' from the 'BEAUtanicals - Branches' set using the same distress ink, fussy cut them out and layers these up with some diecut swirls around the Flowers
