Journaling girl makes for Bee Crafty Journaling girls day

Hi There! Thought I would share the samples I made for Tuesday's Journaling girls day on Bee Crafty Facebook page. The journaling girls stamps are all here.  All of the lives are available still and will also be added to the YouTube channel very soon.   My first make has a background stamped with the Mixed Messages 1 stamp set in Blueprint Sketch, Uncharted Mariner and Salvaged Patina distress oxide inks.

I created a background for this journal spread in my Dylusions black journal, using dylusions shimmer paint, black and white gesso and white embossing powder

Here is an older journal spread using more shimmer paints and the Fern flourish Big one inkable

This background was created using Dina Wakley gloss sprays and the Bakewell Big ones inkable. I stamped some background elements from the journaling essentials set onto stamping tissue using versafine clair ink and added them using matte medium. I also used the Spontaneous Words transparencies

I made a collage background for this card, using an old book page and Catalyst papers set 2  

This scrap of smooshed paper using Wild Honey and Mermaid Lagoon Distress oxide was the perfect background for Sam. This time I also used the brand new 'Speak your Truth' transparencies

This was the card I created during the facebook live - not quite identical to the one above, but almost! you can find it here 
 Thanks for looking! 

Bee Crafty Inkables day

 Hi There! 

Did you join in the Bee Crafty Inkables day fun? Here are my samples that I made using Inkables for  Thursday. 

The background for the doodle art dragonfly used the circles dinkable from set 3, fernando big one and the 4" circle easy frame.

This card was made by blending distress oxide inks through Mandala 2 inkable. 

Similarly this one was made using the welded music stencil.

The 6" octagon easy frame and 2 texture discs were used to make this card.

I used a gelly plate to create this Background with the Eclipse trellis big one and distress oxide inks. I also used the 4" circle easy frame. 

I used an mdf tag, a tag inkable and the script inkable with texture paste and explosion powders to decorate it. 

Finally here are the two cards I made during my live which you can find here. 

All of the lives from the day can be found on the Bee Crafty Facebook page here

Animals Galore!

 Hi There! I thought it was high time I shared a few more of my DT makes for Crafty Individuals that were on Hochanda last week on the Animals galore programme. I don't know if you managed to catch them or not, but they were brilliant shows with multiple sell outs! The new stamps by Ellie Mulligan will be on the website very soon, so look out for a newsletter from Jean and Malcolm or an announement on their facebook page.  

For my first card I stamped the zebra in black, masked it and stencilled the background with a Bee Crafty stencil and citrus twist distress ink. I moved the stencil then went over again more lightly with sqeezed lemonade, adding some sequins.

My second card was stamped in versafine clair ink onto a background created with spectrum noir glitter pens as a colour wash.

Here is another zebra card. This time I stamped the silhouette animals in brown ink onto a craft card and also stamped the zebra at the corner but in black ink. I then stamped and embossed the zebra onto white card using black ink and cut it out (this means no fussy cutting of the mane is required as it is on the card already and can be cut from the one being placed over the top. 

Next up are Ellie and Nellie, those lovely elephants. I found some backgrounds I made with adirondack colour sprays from quite a long time ago and this one reminded me of African sunsets. I stamped the elephants in Black ink and added a few highlights using a white gel pen.

Finally, here is a notebook decorated with some mulberry paper and a piece of calico stamped with the elephants and coloured with inktense pencils. I will be back next week share my remaining samples. In the meantime, here is a link to the Crafty Individuals website so you can check out what has been added to the website recently in the 'New' section

Hochanda Samples for Crafty Individuals shows

 Did you see Jean on Hochanda on Saturday with the latest stamps from Crafty Individuals? There are 4 brand new stamps designed by Sharron Bates that you can find here on the crafty Individuals website, along with some other goodies. I had such fun making my samples! First is 'of the Sea' stamped onto an alcohol ink background

Next is the same stamp, watercoloured and teamed up with the Craft Individuals 'wonderfully weathered' papers

 And again with Wonderfully weathered 2 papers and splattered and painted with distress oxides

The second stamp 'The Street' looks great coloured with Speckled Egg and Crackling Campfire Distress oxide inks.

I also tried stamping it on a background sprayed with dylusion inks and highlighted with posca pens

My last sample using The Street was embossed in white over an inky background

I had great fun with 'Pablo the Penguin'

Not only does he look wonderful on card, but he also works brilliantly on shrink plastic as earrings...

and as a bauble

The final new stamp is the beautiful Cone flower or Echinachea, firstly painted and decoupaged...

and secondly stamped onto an alcohol ink background

Whilst we are on the subject of Crafty Individuals, I would like to send a huge 'Congratulations' to my lovely friend Lynne, who was announced as a brand new member of the Crafty Individuals DT during Jean's live yesterday afternoon! I know she will make some stunnng creations and be a real asset to the team! Well Done, Lynne!
