Follow Your Bliss - With Karyn Schultz!

 Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the new Full Circle collection available from Bee Arty.  

 

This page was inspired by the November mood board and sketch challenge. I loved the colours and sketch - but once again I'm a bit late with the challenge, lol. 

I created a mixed media background on a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. I added stencilling using the A4 Round About Stencil from Full Circle and Stormy Weather Mica powder.   

 

 

This stencil is a 2 layer stencil (Did you know that? How cool!). So I then overlayed the other end of the stencil and sponged through Thunder Mica powder.

 

I added more stencilling using Emerald Colour Paste and the Orchid Stencil from Wild At Heart.

 

There was a cut apart sheet as part of the kit that I watercoloured using Thunder Mica powder. I also added the same colour to left over chipboard from the kit.

 

Here is my completed page. 

 

 

I've used 1 photo measuring 9.5cm x 12.5cm portrait including the white border. The circle embellishments are fussy-cut from the Full Circle Paper Collection Pack. The word strips are from the Moments Paper. Lastly I added splatters of Stormy Weather, Steel, Thunder Mica powder and Amber & Sunflower  Colour Shimmer Dust.

 

Full Circle is a bright and fun collection with grungy vibes, and is designed by the talented Michelle Grant. You will love this collection - the stamps, stencils and dies are not to be missed! You can subscribe to the kit here. Kits come with a paper pack, stencils, metal dies, stamp sets, embellishments and full colour kit instructions.

#thishappened - With Karyn Schultz!

  Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the new Full Circle collection available from Bee Arty.

 

  

I created a mixed media background on a sheet of 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. I added stencilling using Texture Paste and the Connect The Dots Stencil from Full Circle. 

 

Then I added drops of Fluro Purple Mica powder and used a puffer tool to "puff" it across the page.

 

Next add stamping using stamps from the Spotted Stamp Set and Black Archival ink.

 

  

Here is the finished background.

 

 

Here is my completed page. I decided to rotate the background to use with my photo combination.

 

  

I've used 3 photos each measuring 5cm x 9cm portrait. I've mounted them on black Cardstock which contrasts the fluro purple colour. I've used black cardstock to create diecuts using the Connected Stencil. I cut the diecut on the diagonal and adhered it under my photos as shown in the main image.

 

 

I used my sewing machine to add stitching around the edge of the page. Fussy cut elements are from the Forward Paper. The chipboard words have been painted with Soot Colour Artist Dye Ink. I also added stamping from a roller stamp. I added a journalling spot to the bottom of the page using a stamp from the Circa Stamp Set.

Saltwater Cards by Charmane Koch

 Hey Everyone!

I'm back again - with MORE cards! This time I'm focussing just on the Saltwater Collection Papers - Plus a few other Dies, Stamps & Stencils...

Love this Collection...

These cards would be perfect Birthday Cards for the beach lovers of your life <3

From the Saltwater Collection I've used the Waves Die, the fish from Aquatic Life Stamp Set & the School of Fish Stencil

I used quite a few of the cutouts, using a bit of foam tape to give the card dimension...

For the background School of Fish - I used Snow White Colour paste on all the cards... love the shimmery effect...

You will also see I've used the Moon Rock Metal Die by cutting using Vellum - perfect for Bubble/coral looking background I think...

I also used the Stalks Die for this background, using Kraft Cardstock...

 loving how the Waves Die turned out on this card too, cut from one of the Saltwater Papers...

I also stamped the Happy Birthday to you from the All Occasions Stamps set

As you can see I've also used the School of Fish stencil over the top of the DIY Heart, 

Pop on over to the Bee Arty Hive to see a video I have made putting these Cards together! So much fun! Hopefully I've inspired you to get out the Saltwater Collection - OR experiment with the techniques I have used for a layout?

Happy Creating!

Birthday Cards pt2 - With Karyn Schultz!

 Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have 6 birthday cards to share with you made using the new Wild At Heart Collection available from Bee Arty.

 

 

I cut 6 pieces of 9cmx13.2cm 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. Then I stamped around/on the edge of each using the Wild Leopard stamp set and the 1928 Fragment and Text stamp set and Black Archival ink. These form the mats on the cards.

 

 

 

I wanted to add colour to the stamped backgrounds so I mixed a Velvet Colour Shimmer Dust with Mocha Colour Spray to give a dusty pink shade to match the Wild at Heart papers. The pic below shows on the RHS Velvet only and LHS Velvet+Mocha.

 

I added a colour wash (using a wide paintbrush and plenty of water) of Velvet+Mocha to 3 of the stamped backgrounds (in different intensities) and Mocha to the other 3.

 

I made 6 card bases measuring a finished size of 14.5cmx10.5cm using 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock. I added a colour wash of Velvet+Mocha to the front of 3 of the cards (in different intensities) and Mocha to 3 of them.

 

Then I used the Lost Symbol A6 stencil and some of the colour wash applied with a sponge on the card fronts (just around the edges).

 

Below you can see the stamped card on the left and the stenciled card front on the right for each of the 3 Velvet+Mocha cards, for a lighter colour I added more water to the wash.

 

Below you can see the stamped cards and the stenciled card fronts for the 3 Mocha cards.

 

 

 I matted the stamped card onto the stenciled card front, then added a card cut from the Expedition Paper. I also added fussy cuts from the Roar Paper, as well as flowers from my stash. I stamped "Happy birthday" from the Embrace Change Collection onto White Cardstock and added to the card.

 

 

Wild At Heart has soft tropical vibes with versatile elements, and is designed by the talented Karen Yates. You will love this collection - the stamps, stencils and dies are not to be missed!
