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! You can subscribe to the kit here. Kits come with a paper pack, stencils, metal dies, stamp sets, embellishments and full colour kit instructions.

Cards - With Karyn Schultz!

Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have two cards to share with you made using the Destination Anywhere collection from Bee Arty. I love this collection, it is perfect for masculine projects and family layouts!

I started by creating 2 diecuts, using heavyweight 350gsm white cardstock, of the Grungy Filmstrip frame die for the front of my cards.

I then painted Rust Colour Artist Ink on one frame and Walnut Colour Artist ink on the other. I painted with a brush to give a mottled effect using a more concentrated ink in places and more watered down in other places.

Here are my finished cards.

Here is a close up of the first card "Keep Calm and Travel On". My card base measured 10.5cm x 14.8cm and was created from Kraft cardstock. I matted 10cm x 14.3cm Journey paper (reverse side) from the Destination Anywhere collection. I then added the frame diecut painted in Rust ink. I die cut 2 of the planes using the Transport metal dies (in white cardstock) and painted a Rust Artist ink coloured stripe along the side to coordinate with the card colours and to tone down the stark white. I cut one of the planes in half and adhered them to the card as shown. I cut the card title from the Parcel paper and around the title I added a strip offcut from a Grungy Filmstrip diecut (these negative strips are as fun to use as the positive cuts). Lastly I added some hessian trim and black sewing thread.

The next card is called "Sightseeing". Once again the card base measured 10.5cm x 14.8cm and was created from Kraft cardstock. I matted 10cm x 14.3cm Journey paper (reverse side) from the Destination Anywhere collection. I then added the frame diecut painted in Walnut ink. I die cut 1 of the Combi-Van's using the Transport metal dies (in white cardstock) and painted an Olive Grove Mica Powder stripe along the side. I adhered it to the card as shown and attached 2 vintage brads to the wheels. I cut the card title from the Parcel paper and adhered it over some hessian trim, a chipboard offcut, and black sewing thread.

Layered Card by Aditi

Hello everyone,

Today I was inspired to use a few paper layers and create a quick card. I love the Scrapbooking collections by Bee Arty and they were perfect for this idea today. Sometimes we want to create something quick and simple and I think this card is perfect for such times.

Here's a look at the card

I started off by picking out a few papers and fussy cutting elements from them.

I next mounted my paper base onto white cardstock.

I now began arranging my abstract fussy cut pieces randomly. When I was happy I adhered them with some foam tape to add dimension.

I then glued my floral elements.

To complete it, I added a sentiment and sequence.

Supplies used:

Bee Arty Paper Collection- Forever my Always

a. Best By Far

b. Heart & Soul

c. Love is Golden

d. Gentle Heart

Hope you've enjoyed this quick project share!

Hugs,

Aditi

Mixed Media Cards by Elisa Ablett

Hi Crafters,

Elisa here from the design team with my inspiration for October, a couple of mixed media cards featuring loads of your favourite Colour Blast by Bee Arty products.

Starting with a lovely bright background of 'smooshed' watercolour inks in bold colours - Slipper, Calypso and Mermaid. I spritzed water over the top once they were dry to re-activate the watercolours, this creates great 'salt' patterns in the colour. Let the background dry thoroughly and then lay your chosen stencil on top - I used 'Organised Chaos' Stencil for the first card along with 'Envy' Colour Paste and 'Directions' stencil for the second card along with 'Dusty Charcoal' Colour Paste.

Let's take a closer look at each card!

Awesome Card - Add some gold accents to your card, I used yellow sparkle embossing powder which gives a fantastic coverage for the title and also the gold accent on the die cut 'Abstract Circles' from Fiona Paltridges new collection. I also smooshed a bit of gold - Bling shimmer spray over the top of my Colour Paste to create gold accents on the stenciled background. Add some dodgy sewing for a bit of texture and you have a finished unique mixed media card.!

Brave card - After stencilling, add some shimmer by spraying Bling Shimmer Spray onto your craft mat and use a makeup sponge or your finger to rub some of the gold spray over the top of your stenciling to create gold shimmery accents. Use the yellow sparkle embossing powder on a spare piece of card and cut some triangles to add to your card. Fussy cut a few of the hanging feathers from the 'Possibility' paper (Follow your dreams collection) and colour using your watercolour inks to match your background.
