Hiya friends, I'm back with another card making post for Bee Arty and today I'm showing a fun way to add a little extra colour to your A4 Cut Apart Sheets, so let's get into it!

I started off by adding some Fern Colour Shimmer Dust to my glass mat, spraying down with water and then using a few 4' x 6" panels of 350gsm cardstock I smooshed the paper down into the colour. I added more water to my glass mat after each panel to get a lighter colour each time. I then set aside the panels to dry.

While waiting, I fussy cut the elements I wanted to use from the Christmas Mistletoe A4 Cut Apart sheet, and created three top folding A6 card bases from the 350gsm cardstock as well.

To assemble I used a couple of old dies to cut out my Fern panels, and foam taped each onto my card bases. I then added my cut aparts with a mix of glue and foam tape. 

I love how each of the Fern panels ended up looking quite different from each other the lighter they got, and I think it's a fun way to use your Colour Shimmer Dusts! If you create your own version, make sure to tag us on your socials.

Have a fabulous week,

Kelly :) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hiya friends, I'm back with another card design for Bee Arty and today I'm sharing with you a Fun Fold card called the Double Z card using Sue Smyth's Christmas Cheer Mini Collection, so let's get making!

To create my card base I cut a piece of 350gsm cardstock down to 21cm x 15cm then followed my old template I made back in 2019 (hence my old business name on it). When scoring the base, I gave my cardstock a light mist of water to help it fold without any cracking.

The patterned paper panel sizes are:

• Card Base has one 10cm square piece and two 10cm x 5cm pieces.
• Front Panel has one 4cm x 10cm piece and two 4cm x 5cm pieces.

I've glued the patterned papers onto my base and front panel and then glued the front panel onto the base at the bottom, only gluing down the very left and right hand sides.

I fussy cut out the holly leaves from the back of the cover sheet and and mounted it with foam tape.

 

See you next time! - Kelly

  

Aussie Bushland Cards

 

 

Hiya Bee Arty friends!

I'm Kelly, and I’m stoked to bee joining the Bee Arty design team to show that all your Bee Arty goodies can be used for card making as well! I’m looking forward to sharing my designs and getting to know you all. 

I’ve started out with a set of three cards created using stamps and dies from the Aussie Bushland collection, along with the Radiant stencil from Happy Snaps, and the All Occasions stamp set. 

To start with, I created 3 top folding card bases from the 350gsm 12 x 12 white cardstock, which are 14.8cm x 10.5cm when folded.

 

 For the first card, I’ve die cut the Aussie Flowers Die Set leaves from the 250gsm white cardstock 4 times, and the flower once. I glued the leaves directly onto my card base, cutting off the excess and then adding pieces into the gaps where needed. I used a piece of vellum from my stash to help the flower stand out a little bit more. I’ve finished with a stamped sentiment from the All Occasions set and fussy cut it out before gluing it underneath the flower. 

 

For card two, I’ve die cut the leaves and flowers once each from the 350gsm cardstock and then used my Colour Shimmer Dusts in Fern and Candy to paint them. I did it very loosely so there are variations in the colours to give depth and dimension. I set those aside to dry while I stamped a piece of 250gsm cardstock in a grey green ink with some of the images from the Wildlife stamp. I foam mounted the panel to my card base, then glued down the leaves and flowers, stamped and attached my sentiment. 

 

For card three, I took a piece of the 250gsm cardstock and painted through the bigger leafy pattern on the Radiant stencil using the Fern Colour Shimmer Dust, adding extra patches here and there, plus splattering it lightly at end and set it aside to dry. I then stamped the little kangaroo image and sentiment onto another piece of cardstock in memento ink so that I could use my alcohol ink markers to colour in the leaves and ‘roo. I glued my stenciled panel onto my card base, then foam mounted my image/sentiment panel. 

 I’m so excited to be joining the team and I can’t wait to share more cards with you soon! – Kelly.

Cakes, Coffee, Ice Cream - With Karyn Schultz!

 Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using lots of products available from Bee Arty.

 

 

Last week Paige had an online blind scrap. Although I didn't follow her instructions exactly I was inspired by the process and created in my own way. I had also just finished creating kit projects for the soon to be released Sweet Affair Collection so I used some leftovers on the page.

 

I started by creating a mixed media background on a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. I used a pencil to lightly mark the position of 9 squares in the centre of the page. I then painted squares using Thunder Blue Mica powder mixed with water. 

 

 I applied Thunder Blue Colour Paste through one of the stencils being released in the new Sweet Affair Collection.  

I added splatters of Thunder Blue Mica powder mixed with water over the stenciled areas.

 

 

I completed my page with a doilie, photo and some fun fussy cut images from the new collection. 

Sweet Affair is a soft feminine collection with beautiful colours and designs.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by

Addicted To Grunge Art Journalling - With Karyn Schultz!

 Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have an art journal page to share with you made using Addicted To Grunge Collection available from Bee Arty.

 

 

I love the "grunginess" of this collection but I wanted to use some fun bright colours. 

Here is my completed page.

 

 

I painted some Cobalt Colour Shimmer Dust and Deep Water Colour Mica Powder on the background, then added splatters of Cobalt and Midnight Colour Shimmer Dust and Deep Water Colour Mica Powder. Next I added stencilling using Snow White Colour Paste through the Old Time Numbers A4 Stencil. Stamping was added using a grey inkpad and the Alpha Grunge Stamp Set. 

 

To finish the page I added an image from the internet, die cuts using the Vintage Number Metal Die set and book paper, and the Trellis metal die and white cardstock. Lastly I added some words and I used a fine black Life of Colour Pen to draw around the edge of the page. 

Addicted To Grunge is a grungy masculine collection designed by Karen Louwen.
