Cardmaking Craziness with Charmane!

Hey Bee Arty Creatives! How is everyone?

This month is "Birthday Month" for me & for something different I decided to challenge myself to create a card a day using bits and pieces from my stash! And of course I have accumulated quite a Bee Arty stash so I've been having lots of fun creating lots of different cards!

So here are just a few...

The Botanicals Collection is PERFECT for making Cards as well... the papers are so so pretty...

This is the first one I started with - how gorgeous are the colours...

My most used Metal Die atm is the Stalks Metal Die - if you don't have it, you NEED it NOW! It's just perfect to add to backgrounds - layouts or cards - it's so beautiful!

I decided to have a play with stamped "Untamed" onto  tissue paper and gel medium it onto the DIY Heart. I have then coloured it with the Pink Ice Shimmer Dust...

I have plans to use more of the stamped tissue paper....

I also coloured the Happy Birthday chipboard - painting it directly onto it... I love the effect - so shimmery!

Next I went with the gorgeous Green in the Botanicals to create my card...

I used the Best Wishes from the "Wishes Metal Die" to create my sentiment...

I love how this card has turned out using the older but still stunning Grateful Heart Collection - I have ordered more than one pack of this collection as I just LOVE it so much!

It's such a pretty collection...

I stamped "Have a Wonderful Day" onto some Vellum to create my sentiment - It comes from the MUST HAVE "All Occasions" stamp!

To brighten it up a bit I thought it'd be fun to use the "Fun in the Sun" range to correct some tropical themed cards... I definitely will be making more! 

I just love the Cut Outs from this Collection & they are so easy to add to a card....

and to layer them up with a bit of Mounting Foam to add dimension too :)

The cool thing is that the Collections can be mixed and match - I have used the NEW Wild at Heart "Wild Leopard" Stamp here - as it matches perfectly with the Fun in the Sun theme too... along with the Find Paradise Flowers of Paradise Metal Die!

Because I loved how my first card turned out, I made another one!

I did the stamping again on the DIY tab, then coloured it with the Emerald Mica Powder... I also used the Happy Birthday stamp...

Next we have a couple of cards using the absolutely gorgeous Bee The Sunshine Collection... 

at this stage of card creating I had the idea of cutting some dies using Vellum... oh my goodness... now I am OBSESSED! You can get the Vellum here - I'm definitely ordering MORE!

I've cut out Sentiments and the gorgeous Stalks Die again!

Ok - had enough yet? I still have so much more to share & SO many MORE ideas to get out!! Pop on over to the Bee Arty Hive for more Card Making shares later in the month!

Thanks for popping by & I hope I've inspired you to maybe do some Card Making too?
