Brusho's - Wordage - Tags - For Bee Crafty

Happy Monday to you all and welcome to my Post for Bee Crafty

What a Crazy Weekend with Father's Day I hope you all had a lovely time with your families. I did with my Wonderful Hubby and our Children and his Parents we all had a lovely roast dinner and a Movie Night

I had the first bit of spending money available for a while so I visited ordered some Brusho's from Bee Crafty I have never used these before and so I had to open them up and try them out, so I created some Tags with them 

I used Watercolour Card cut into Tag Shapes, sprayed them with a water spritz spray bottle and then sprinkled over some of the Brusho's after making holes in the lids for ease of use - I teamed these with some Distress Inks

For the Blue/Green tag once dry I inked some leaves through the 'Leaves - Inkables Template' using Black Soot distress ink then inked the edges using the same ink. I stames the 'Life & Rain (large) - WORDage' stamp in the corner using Black Archival Ink. I trimmed a piece of linen cardstock a few mm larger than the tag to create a matt, I then inked the egdes using 'Peacock Feathers' and 'Black Soot' distress inks then glued the tag to it

For the Red/Brown tag once dried I stamped the 'Friendship (large) - WORDage' stamp into the corner of the tag using Brown Archival Ink. I inked the edges of the tag using 'Vintage Photo' distress ink. I then trimmed a piece of linen cardstock a few mm larger than the tag to create a matt, I then inked the egdes using 'Scattered Straw' and 'Vintage Photo' distress inks and then glued the tag to it

I had best leave this post here and get back to Sample Making for the upcoming Hochanda Shows at the Weekend where Bev will be showing off some New Stamps....eeeeks so exciting

Design Team Post - 'Love Isn't Complicated' - Bee Crafty

Hiya and Welcome to my Monday Post for Bee Crafty

Such Lovely Weather we have been having in my home town Harlow, Essex - But its really effecting my Hayfever so I have been hiding away indoors x

Today I am sharing a quick & simple make using just one sentiment, 2 stencils and lots of ink

Bee Crafty Products used in this make...

Inkables Template Easy Fram Circle

Inkables Template Offset Dots

Polymer Stamp 'Love Isn't Complicated'

White - Linen Card Stock

Products used that are available from Bee Crafty...

Tim Holtz - Distress Inks

I used low tack tape to attach the Circle Template to a piece of linen card stock I had trimmed down to fit the front of a 6x6 card blank. I think inked the background, lightest to darkest fromt he circle out to the edge using 'Picked Raspberry', 'Dusty Concord' and 'Black Soot' Distress Inks to create a dark purplely gothic looking background. I then Inked through the Dots Template using 'Black Soot' Distress Ink but only in the corners. I then stamped the Sentiment using Black Archival Ink

I fixed this inky panel to a matt of black cardstock and then atached to the card blank with the card turned to create a tent fold card instead of a traditional side opening card

Bee Crafty DT Make - The Maid

 Hiya and Welcome to my Monday Post for Bee Crafty

I can not get over how fast April is flying by - it is a blink and you miss it month 

Today I am sharing with you a make from last months Hochanda Show

Our Beverley is back on Hochanda tomorrow at 11am & 6pm

and I can not wait to see her Inspring Demo's 

 For this make I have used the Maid and a Sentiment from the 'The Maid' Banksy Inspired Stamp Set

I wanted to keep this card simple so the Stamps take centre stage

I stamped the Maid onto Linen Cardstock using black archival ink, I then inked the edges using Tattered Rose distress ink and then Walnut Stain - I matted the image onto daark brown mirror board

For the card front I chose a simple dot backing paper from my stash which I trimmed to size and matted onto dark mirror board. I had a sliver of the backing paper left so I matted that onto dark mirror board and fixed to the side of the cardfront, I then punched a lacey border from a strip of linen cardstock and fixed that alongside

I stamped the Sentiment onto an offcut of linen cardstock using black archival ink, matted with dark brown mirror board and fixed this into the bottom corner of the card front. I fixed the Image topper to the card front using foam tape.

To finish I added some flat back pearls that I coloured using a dark brown alcohol marker

Make a Wish - Dandelion - Bee Crafty

Hiya and Welcome to my Monday Post for Bee Crafty

I would love to share with you how I made this shaped card 

I have used the 'BEAUtanicals - Dandelion' stamp set

First I diecut 2 sizes of Giant Label shapes using some of my larger die's from my stash

One I cut using white pearlescent card and one from gold pearlescent card. I fixed the smaller gold shape to the front of the white shape - to make this card front stand up like a portrait I fixed an A6 cardblank to the reverse to work as a stand.

I stamped the large Dandelion Seeds stamp from the set onto a piece of kraft card which I then tied brown organza ribbon around and matted brown mirror board

I stamped the large Dandelion onto a piece of linen card but with the stem curved on the stamp block. I then stamped the smaller Dandelion twice along the bottom of the card. I stamped the smaller Dandelion Seeds around the top corner to look like they are blowing away from the large flower. I inked around the edges and then matted with brown mirror board.

I stamped the 'Make a Wish' sentiments, trimmed them, inked the edges and matted on brown mirror board. I then fixed all the pieces onto the card front at jaunty angles.
