"Dream Big.. Aim High" | Colour Blast by Bee Arty

Hi Everyone

Welcome back to the Bee Arty blog. Today I wanted to share with you a creation that I made using the AIM HIGH collection designed by Cindy Porter. I loved making this super girlie layout of my niece with my mum. The dies, stencils and stamps with this range are just amazing!!

I loved the Destination paper in the pack with the corner flowers on the book print. I coloured some Texture Paste with some of the Walnut Artist Ink and then applied it through the Flower Pennants A5 stencil from the collection. I also did some stamping of some of the flowers in a dark brown ink using the Hydrangea Basket stamp set to the background patterned paper.

I coloured up some smooth cardstock using the Walnut Artist Ink and then used the cardstock to die cut the Flower Power metal dies. These are one of my go to dies they are just so so pretty.

This collection is still available in the Bee Arty shop. It is such a great collection and works beautifully with male and female layouts. I have only used a small portion of the full collection so check the rest out in store. Click on the image below to be taken there straight away.

I hope you enjoyed my share on the blog today.

Check back again for more of my shares soon.

Until next time....

Take some time out to create for yourself.

Ciao...

Harmony by Mintay Card Set

Hi Everyone

I love teaching card classes at my local Papercraft store and am known now for my love of fussy cutting. Mintay Papers have the most beautiful papers to fussy cut and this range and I love creating this card set with the Harmony range of papers. This ended up being a very popular class and why wouldn't it be with such beautiful papers to work with.

I used both the 6x6 paper pad as well as a couple of 12x12 papers for these cards. The frame dies were Spellbinders and the gorgeous leave were from the Find Paradise range by BEE ARTY.

Here are a couple of close up of the 5 cards.

Thanks for stopping by.

Don't forget to keep the craft alive.

Bohemian Bouquet Cards | Ultimate Crafts

Hi Everyone.

So today I get to show you my first creation with a beautiful and new collection which is being released from Ultimate Crafts very soon. It is another gorgeous collection by the wonderful
Denise Boddey called Bohemian Bouquet.

To start I selected several papers from the 6x6" paper pad and trimmed them down to the size I wanted to use. I then distressed the edges of all the papers using my Couture Creations scissors.

Next I die cut two of the Moonlit Orchid die and then inked the edges using a matching ink and dauber.

I attached the largest patterned paper to my card base and then attached the slightly smaller piece. Next I mixed up a solution of the turquoise glitter mix and match powder with water and sprayed it liberally over the paper. Below is the finished look. Being me and wanting things finished yesterday I dried it off with my heat gun.

I selected several flowers from my stash and the largest one which would take the centre of my card I sprayed with a mixture of water with the blue mix and match pigment powder from the Anna Griffin set.

The most important role of ribbon in my stash is basic white seam binding. It allows me to change up to any colour combination that I want just by adding inks and spraying with water. So for this card I used some matching blue/turqoise and purple. I forgot to take a photo of the ribbon after I had sprayed it with water and dried it off, but you will see it a little in the close ups further down.

Once I had done all my elements all I did was construct the card to the finished product.

Here are some close up of the card.

I also created the same style card using the papers with reds and greens.

And here is a third card I made whilst I was having fun creating the other two.

My Favourite Photos of You

Hi Everyone back here today to share with you another creation using the gorgeous RAMBLING ROSE collection form Ultimate Crafts which has just been released.

For today's creation I have used so many of the beautiful butterflies that cover the patterned papers in the colletion.

To start I have taken a piece of the Ultimate Craft cardstock in Snow White. From the 12x12" paper pad I have used the wood panel paper. There are two options in the papers, one with just the wood panels and one that has a lovely floral border along the bottom. Because I wanted the focus to be the butterflies I have stuck to the simpler plain wood panels.

From the wood panel paper I trimmed a piece approximately 5" vertical and adhered it to the left side of the white cardstock.
I chose a square photo and mounted it on a piece of the Obsidian cardstock. I added a heart doily from the Ooh La La range to the back of the photo mat.
From the ephemera pack I chose one of the thin borders and after working out where I wanted to position my photo cut the thin border in two so that it edged the wood panel paper and finished right to the edges of the top and bottom of the page.

Next I fussy cut heaps of butterflies from the patterned papers. Using some of the pigment powders in the coral pink and purple and a water pen I changed the colours of the inside of the butterflies.

I added some of the 2.5cm and 3cm Tie Dyed and Jewelled flowers to both the top and bottom left side of the photo and then I scattered the butterflies up the seam of the patterned paper, some of foam tape and some just glued down. I kept a couple of the butterflies aside to just add to other spots on the page once I had completed it.

I inked up a title and adhered it to the bottom right edge of the page. Finally I added some pearls to the butterflies.

L'Aquarelle Notebook | Artdeco Creations

Hi Everyone

I am sharing with you an altered notebook using the soon to be available L'Aquarelle range from ULTIMATE CRAFTS.
I love this new range and there is such an array of lovely papers that warrant fussy cutting.

So to start I deconstructed my notebook so that I could just work on my front and back covers. I used the Couture Creations Anna Griffin Acrylic Gesso to seal both the inside and outside of the two covers.

Once dry I sprayed it with some colour sprays that I made using the yellow and pinkish red powders from the Couture Creations Anna Griffin Pigment Powder Set. I used my heat gun to hurry up the drying process because I was being impatient.
Using the Definitons stamp set from the L'Aquarelle range I inked up the stamp with black and stamped over the covers in a few places.
Next using one of the gorgeous Couture Creations Anna Griffin Stencils, Daisy Batik, and some embossing paste added some texture to the outside of the covers. Again I dried it off with my heat gun to hurry the drying process along.

The fussy cutting that I did came from the 6"x6" paper pad. They match in the with the yellows and pinkie reds beautifully. I stamped the fern stamp from the Flowers and Flourishes set on some Battle Fatigue green cardstock from Ultimate Crafts and fussy cut them.

I also added a couple of flowers (Camden Cottage rose deconstructed smaller and Tie Dyed and Jewelled flowers) which I added some ink to to soften the whiteness of them. I also tied died a piece of seam binding with matching colours to add to the finish embellishing. Due to the mixed media products that I used all of the embellishing was adhered with hot glue to ensure that it stayed 'stuck'.

Products Used
ULT200039 - Ultimate Crafts Cardstock - Battle Fatigue

A New Year Begins

Hi Everyone

Well I hope January 2017 has already started beautifully for you and you have all been finding some time for yourselves and get some craft on.

I have been lucky to have some time to craft even though I have still been working full time and have been having fun getting messy with this layout that I have for you today on the blog.

I really wanted to keep my layout simple so that all the attention is on the photo.

I really love gold black and red together and this photo of my niece at Chinese New Year celebrations in Melbourne worked brilliantly.

To start I mixed up some of the gold pigment powder in with the gloss texture paste. I kept adding powder until I got the richness that I wanted.

I then just smeered it across my black cardstock with a palette knife and then set it aside to dry.

Next I coloured up more of the texture paste with a red colour to match in with the photo.

I used the beautiful new 10x10" stencil from the new L'Aquarelle range called Loving Flourishes and applied the coloured up texture paste to sides of the cardstock overlapping the gold.

My next step was heat embossing my title in the Super Sparkles Gold embossing powder. I double embossed it so make sure it was super sparkly. I also head embossed several wooden stars from my embellishment stash.

I wanted to add dimension behind my photo so I die cut two of the On the Edge die Rosey Ferns Footer in red. I attached a piece of cardboard on the back of my photo and then added the dies to the back of the cardboard backing before gluing it down over the dried texture paste.
