BeeCrafty on Hochanda.. Banksy..

Hey Bloggers..

Sam from BeeCrafty was on Hochanda yesterday (Tuesday 27/02-2018) with some amazing goodies..
A huge selection of Banksy stamps, Background stamps, the Dinkables and some brand new MDF.

Sadly due to illness I had to sit this one out but as soon as I could drag myself out of bed I managed to get a few cards made and I thought I'd share some of them today.

 This one is made with a watercolour background, sparkle paste through the star Dinkable and using both sizes of the "Decision to try" stamp.

 This background is made with acrylic paint sprays, Sparkle paste, Lustre Luxe and the drop Dinkable. Sentiment "Dreams come true" is made the same way.

 

 This one is a Gelli plate background and then stamping with the Brick background stamp.
I used the "Girl watering Aerial" banksy stamp. The stamp was'nt wide enough to cover the bottom of my card so I inked up a bit of the base of the stamp and extended the "greenery". I finished again with the "Dreams come true" stamp.

 

Right last one for today.. This one is an A5 and the background is a "mop up" of Distress ink.
I used the Circle Inkable as well as the Heart Dinkable to create a bit of debth on my card. I once again used the "Dreams come true"sentiment and used the Banksy "Caught in the rain" stamp.

I extended some of the rain lines with a black pen as I wanted the girl and the sentiment to kind a flow together.

 

And that is it for today. Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

Bee Crafty Inspiration.. The last few christmas cards..

Hey bloggers..

Once again wednesday and my turn for some inspiration for 

Bee Crafty

Did you see my post last week?? I made some backgrounds with some of the christmas stamps and some paints. Great fun. (Find the post HERE).
Well for today I made some more cards with these backgrounds.

Stamps I used for these projects:

 Yuletide WORDage Christmas set 1
Yuletide Set Holly Swirl tree and border

You can find them in the BeeCrafty STORE.

These 2 cards are A5 and made with the backgrounds I made for last week
(link for last weeks post, above).
I matted and layered my cards blank with black and my backgrounds sheets from last week. I then stamped with versamark and heat set with black embossing powder.

The "Xmas" on the top card is a die from my stash (sorry I dont know from what company)
I diecut it from my gelli plate sheet and also from cheap white card stock 3 times and glued them all together before adding it onto of a black card stock panel.

The "seasons greetings"is indeed a BeeCrafty stamp. Stamped with versamrk and heat set with black embossing powder on a panel of my background paper.

 And that is it from me for today. Thanks for popping by and for any comments left behind.

Bee Crafty Inspiration.. Gelli Plate fun

Hello Bloggers 

and thank you if you have made it to my blog..

Well busy busy day today.. I have been busy making samples for the December show on Hochanda for BeeCrafty..

oh I so wish I could spill the beans but nope.. My lips are sealed hehehehehe...

Instead I have a christmas project to share.. I teased a bit about this project the other day in the BeeCrafty Facebook Group (come join us if you arent already a memeber)

Basically I have this wonderful Gelli plate my husband gifted me (after much hinting and frustation that I couldnt get the ingredients to make my own)
Ive used it a couple of times and LOVE it BUT I end up with all these amazing and fun backgrounds that i never get round to using. Well I decided to play with it, but with the goal of making a couple of BeeCrafty projects.
So out the Gelli came, then the paints and card stock.. and then the fun part.. My BeeCrafty stamps.

 Now Im new to the Gelli plate so dont have too much knowledge yet but I basically just spread blue and silver acrylic paint (I use cheap paint from the £shop and supermarked) on to the Gelli. I spread it with a brayer. I then pressed the stamps into the paint till I got the pattern I wanted. I then took a sheet of card stock (I used 160g cheap white card) and pressed over the gelli plate. Pulled the card of the plate and voila, one sheet of backing paper made..

I added a bit of paint here and there, tried different stamps. Some sheets came out great, some didnt. I really think it has a lot to do with the size if the stamp design and on how much paint is on the plate. I didnt waste any of the sheets though. The one lying in the very back on the pic above is the one that didnt come out too well but its used on a different project Ill share another day.

Its a really fun tool and Im delighted to have it in my craft room and I think I will be using it much more with all my other BeeCrafty Stamps.

For these 2 projects I ended up only using 1 of the sheets I made. I just love how the holy stamp is in the background as well as up front.

Stamps I used:

 Yuletide WORDage Christmas set 1
Yuletide Set Holly Swirl tree and border

You can find them in the BeeCrafty STORE.

 And that is it from me for today.Thanks for popping by and for any comments left behind.
