Fireworks Waikiki Beach by Tracey Campbell

 Aloha my creative Bee Arty crew, it is Tracey Campbell here with my latest Creative Team project to share with you. I have recently been away on two weeks holiday with my family, we had a great time in Hawaii and one of the highlights were the Friday night Fireworks on Waikiki Beach. I managed to get a few photos which I jsut knew I had to team with the Bee Arty Fireworks collection.

Fireworks on Waikiki Beach

To start off my layout I cut three of the cards from the Showtime paper from the Fireworks Collection. As I was scrapping my fireworks photos I picked the two cards with the fireworks on them and used a craft knife to cut out the image where it overlapped with the white space. 

I then slipped the photos under the cut out firework so that it sits overlapping the photo. 

Cut two strips of patterned paper. The first strip needs to be12 inches by 1 cm in length from the Magical patterned paper.  The second strip should be 12 inches by 3 cms from the Bonfire patterned paper. Run the strips along the righthand side of a 12x12 sheet of white cardstock. 

Using the Fireworks stencil, three coloured inks that matches the patterned papers and a dauber, ink the image. 

This is how the stencilled image looks with the three colours daubed through it.

For the second image I used a baby wipe and spread the excess ink from the first image through the stencil onto the cardstock. 

This creates a dull faded image, as you can see in the photo above.

Next use the straw from a bottle of Sunshine Colour Shimmer Spray and flick some droplets over the stencilled fireworks.

This is how the background looks after the Colour Shimmer Spray is dry.

Next fussy cut the letters of the title from the Alphabet patterned paper, the word "Fireworks" from the Colourful patterned paper and the fireworks from the Bunting patterned paper.

Arrange the photos and fussy cut elements so that it reflects the final layout.

Using the cards as mats for photos is a quick and effective way to use them in your scrapbooking layouts. Mahalo for stopping by and I hope that I have given you a bit of inspiration.

2nd Birthday by Tracey Campbell

 Hello everyone, it is my turn on the blog today and I wanted to show you my latest 12x12 layout that I created using the Fireworks Collection. Have you seen it? It is such a delightful collection, full of fun exciting papers that burst with colours. Perfect for Birthdays, celebrations and special occasions.  

I've used it to create a fun layout for Bronte, my oldest daughters 2nd Birthday, a day we celebrated with family and friends with a little party for her.

The first step I did was to spread some clear gesso through the starts and circles on the Fireworks A4 Stencil  onto some white cardstock, I concentrated the images across the top of the page and then the bottom left and right hand corners. 

While the clear gesso was drying I fussy cut out some of the images from the Bunting patterned paper. I chose two pieces of cake, four balloons, two party hats and a bow. I also cut out two word blocks from the Colourful patterned paper.

Once the clear gesso was dry I lightly sprinkled some Lollipop Colour Shimmer Dust over the 12x12 white cardstock. 

Next I activated the Lollipop Colour Shimmer Dust with some water. 

This is what the Colour Shimmer Dust looked like after it was dry.

While the Colour Shimmer Dust was drying I cut five 20x8 cm rectangles from the following patterned papers; Bonfire x 2, Magical, Big Hugs and Sparkles. I then placed a strip of double sided sticky tape across the top of the rectangle and used fringing scissors to cut along the length of the rectangle, up to the tape. If you don't have fringing scissors you can do single cuts with normal scissors. I used both the A and B side of the Bonfire patterned paper, so that I had both a yellow and orange length of fringed paper.

Take of the double sided tape and layer the fringed paper over the top of each other in the centre of the Shimmer Dusted white cardstock. I started with yellow, then orange, the purple in the middle with green and finally blue on top. 

Use the same coloured patterned papers and double matt two 9x7cm photos. 

Adhere a 6x6 inch photo in the centre of the fringed paper and position the two smaller photos to either side. Adhere with strong double sided tape of some clear drying glue as it can be difficult to get the photos to stick to the fringed paper securely.

Using the Numbers Metal Die and the Uppercase Stamp Set make the title for the page. I used the "2nd" from the Numbers Metal Die set and cut it out from the Bonfire patterned paper. I then used a waterproof black ink and the Uppercase Stamp Set to stamp the word "Birthday".

When the black ink was dry I made some water colour paint with a small amount of Lollipop Colour Shimmer Dust and painted the thicker parts of the letters from the Uppercase Stamp Set. When they were dry I fussy cut them out.

Last I put the layout together by using 3 dimensional tape to stick the fussy cut elements out around the photos, I added some string to the balloons to make it seem like they are flying through the air and I rant the title under the centre photo.

I hope that I have inspired you to take a look at the Fireworks Collection, it truly is a beautiful collection with so mush versatility.

Harmony's 15th Birthday by Charmane Koch

 Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Today I wanted to share with you my layout I created using the Mixed Embossing Powder Technique & the fabulous NEW Fireworks Collection! How FUN & AWESOME is it!

You can see the video over on the Bee Arty Hive HERE!

I used the cute Dies from the Party Metal Die & the Numbers Metal Die from the Fireworks Collection.  I used the 350gsm White Cardstock. I coloured using Mica Powder and Water - Bling for the present, party hat & the Numbers, and Lollipop for the banner.

I used Snow White Colour Paste to create the Candles Stencil background behind the photos...

How awesome did this background turn out? Used the Fireworks Stencil!

I have used the Uppercase Stamp to create my "Birthday" title & randomly stamped the little starburst pattern.

Time to play with your Fireworks collection & maybe even try some Embossing?

Thanks for popping by today!

Roses and Iris's - With Karyn Schultz!

 Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

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

 

   

I was inspired by the colours of the February mood-sketch challenge. 

 

I created a background on 350gsm Heavy White Cardstock by painting an 18cmx18cm square using Grape Colour Spray mixed with water in a paint palate and a large flat brush. I've created an ombre effect being darker at the bottom and lighter at the top. 

 

I mixed 4-6 drops of Grape Colour Spray with 1-2 tablespoons of heavy gloss gel then used a palate knife to apply through the Fireworks stencil from the Fireworks collection.  

 

I applied more of the Grape / gloss gel through the star section of the Fireworks stencil in the top right and bottom left sides of the page.   

Once dry I added splatters of Grape Colour Spray.

 

 

 Here is my completed page.

 

 

 My photos are 7cmx7cm including a white border. I've matted these with 8cmx8cm Sparkles paper from the Fireworks collection then adhered to the page. I've used diecuts from the grass die from the Forest Favourites metal die set and the Sweet Floral metal die. All die cuts are created using 250gsm white cardstock and are painted using the Grape Colour Spray.

 

 

I've used words cut from the Colourful paper from the Fireworks collection and alpha stamps from the Uppercase stamp set. Lastly I've outlined my page using a fine black Life of Colour paint pen.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by
