Paperbabe Challenge - Dots Theme - Dillon Hatter

Hiya and Welcome Back to my Blog

Today I am sharing with you my Design Team Make for this Fortnight's Paperbabe Challenge over on the Team Blog

The Theme this fortnight is Dots, you can interpret this in any way you choose and if you enter over on the Team Blog you could WIN up to £20* of Paperbabe Products

Here is a Picture of what I created for the Challenge using 'Dillon Hatter' as my main focal point

I used a page from an old dictionary with some interesting words on which I fixed down onto the fancy card blank using Decomache Glue, I then inked through a Dotty Template using 'Milled Lavendar' and 'Seedless Preserves' Distress Inks. I love this template because it has many different sizes of Dot so you can really build up details. 

I stamped 'Dillon Hatter' onto plain white cardstock and coloured him using coloured pencils, using colours to match into the spots on the small piece of cardstock I used as a layer over the background. I love how he turned out because 'The Hatter' always wears such outrageous outifts

I stamped some words from the 'Just Because' Sentiment set all separately because you can with Our Kim's clever designing skills so you can make up sentiments to your own needs as the words you want to use  you can't alway find in the normal sentiment sets around on the high street. I spelt out. 'Just BECAUSE you make me smile' and this card I've made to give to my Boyfriend.... We have only been together since early December but he does make me smile every day.

I stamped the 'Curiouser & Curiouser' sentiment from the 'Mayleedee in Wonderland set, just because I love it... I am a huge Alice fan and all the quoted from the book inspire me daily which is when when i changed my name by Deedpoll last month I had to add 'Alyce' in as my middle name 

I added more spots using the Tiny 'Dot Clusters' from the 'Birthday Wishes' set and black ink.

To finish I just had to fussy cut 'Dillon Hatter', matt&layer all the pieces, ink the edges and then piece it all together.

I really like how the card turned out and I hope my Boyfriend will like it too as I am giving it to him today when I go away with him for the Weekend... this is becoming a regular thing now that we stay at each others houses at weekends because I live in Harlow and He lives in Frinton-on-Sea, both are in Essex luckily but still a long old trek to see each other each week... and of course I prefer staying at his as its so close to the Sea. The sea air has always made me feel so much better from when I was really young to now.

MDF Tag - Yuletide Snowflakes - for Bee Crafty

Hiya and Welcome to my Monday Post for Bee Crafty

Yes!!!! more Christmas Makes! - I adore Christmas and all the sparkle and fun so I always make a start on Christmas makes during the Summer Holidays and then continute all through Autumn and right up until the Big Day!! love love love

Over the Weekend 'Our Bev' was over at Alexandra Palace for the Stamping & Scrapbooking Show with her massive stand full of Bee Crafty Goodies loads of Stamps and Yumminess including... Brand New MDF loads of it which was a Big Hit and sold out!!!!

I so wish I could have gone this year but unfortunately my Hubby was working (darn!! I cant drive so I lucked out) 

This Week I have created a Christmassy Tag using one of the Lush MDF Tags! Love!!!!

I had a lot of fun creating this tag with loads of Bee Crafty Lushness!!

The products I used that you can get from the lovely Bee Crafty online shop are...

Bee Crafty MDF Tag (medium size)

Bee Crafty - Yuletide Snowflakes - Stamp Set

Bee Crafty - Yuletide 'Twas the Night...' WORDage - Stamp

Bee Crafty - Dots - Inkables Template 

Bee Crafty - Inspired by DaVinci Script - Stamp

Colourcraft - Brusho's - sea green, ost blue, ultramarine & turquoise

I also used White Gesso, and Embossing Powders (opaque white, sparkling snow & chunky silver) from my own crafty stash

First I painted over the whole tag using white gesso, once dry I then sprayed the front using a water spritzer and then tapped the Brusho's over the whole tag removing the excess water with kitchen roll. I then dabbed white gesso through the Inkables Template using a dry stencil brush over one corner. I random stamped the Script Stamp using white ink over the opposite corner. Once dry I then stamped the 2 Snowflakes repeatedly over around the edges of the tag using a clear embossing ink, then used the 3 different embossing powders alternately and heating with my Heat Tool

(I have pierced holes in the tops of my Brusho's so i can use them like salt shakers)

I love how the Sparkling Snow embossing Powder looks on the snowflakes

I ran the clear embossing ink over the tag edges and dipped into the chunky silver embossing powder, which once heated made the edges look like metal

I really love how this tag has turned out - I also love how the colours worked - I am a bit obsessed with blue toned christmas makes this year

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.
