Honey Bee stamp - adventure awaits

Hello everyone,

Today I have a step by step tutorial how I created this adventure await tag.

I used the tim holtz mixed media tag.

Cover with a blue acrylic paint.

Used the crackle paste  of your choice to create the crackle effects. I used pentart paste.

I used Oxides to add some colour.

Used the yellow spray paint to add some colour

I stamped some elements from the set.

 When I was happy with colours I started planning my layout.
Add some net , twine and mixed media ribbon .

Start placing the elements on the tag .

Added some transparent cabochons.

Hope you like my mixed media  ag using the beautiful stamp set from Honey bee available to purchase online from kBumbleberry  papercrafts

Hugs,

The ton - Fresh cut Carnations- layered stamps set

Morning everybody,
I hope you are all keeping warm and enjoying snow...
I enjoy snow when I am inside... lol.

Today, I have a new card today using The Ton - Fresh Cut Carnations. You  can get this stamp set and many other from The Ton in a  Bumbleberry Papercrafts.

Stamp the flowers and fussy cut them.

To stamp the layers I used three different shades of lilac. As you can see they are even from different company... I used stamping platform to stamp. I would not be able to layer them up with acrylic block. To layer them properly use the instruction from the packaging.

This is a DL card, so you need a background panel that is a bit smaller than a base.

I used black Oxide ink through the wall stencil and stamp some words stamp from my stash randomly on the card. I used grey ink for that.

Stamp 'best wishes' using shade of purple ink. Adhere using foam pad.

I adhered the flowers with a wet glue and top flowers with a foam pad.

My DL base in lilac so I used as frame as well.

I also stained the edges of the middle panel with black Oxides.

Hope you enjoy my card..... 

PS: it was my very first use of layered flowers... 

and I Loved it...

So try a new technique today and enjoy crafting.

love

Thanks card - Avery Elle stamp set - Tropics

 Hi everybody,

I created a  DL card with the beautiful leave? or feather? stamp from the stamp set by Avery Elle - Tropics. The stamp set is available from Bumbleberry Papercrafts.

I used :

I have found white corrugated paper and I thought it will be good to use as my background.

So I made it very simple:

Cut the corrugated paper a bit smaller that a DL card. Color and fussy cut out the feathers ... I used a sparkle pens but I watered them down.

I used a blue ribbon and adhered it to the card with double sided red tape.I used hot glue gun to adhere the feathers.

I die cut 'Thanks' from gold mirri card and stained the edges of the card with Peacock feathers -  Oxides.

I have splatter black gesso and gold sparkling paint all over the card.

And ready...

Happy crafting everybody.

This card is created for Bumbleberry Papercraft.

Never stop making wishes for IDC

Hi everybody,

Today I bring you my card using Never Stop making wishes stamp set by IDC.

This is my card.

I used the distress inks to create the background.

When I was happy with the background I place the oval card in the middle and stamped my images. I did that so I can match the images after adding the gold mat.

I used the teal liquid glitter to add the drops all over the card.

Add the sentiment.

Mat and layer onto the gold card and the onto the blue one and gold again.

Hope you like my card.

Modern tree for Bumbleberry Papercrafts

Morning everybody,

I just like to share with you my new card I made using modern trees set by MFT,

 I made this card :

Steps:

Use thorn piece of paper to mask of the side of the card. I used the same piece on top and bottom of the card. Use distress inks to colour the middle part of the card. I moved the thorn paper a bit and added another colour on both sides.

I splatted few drops of water and dabbed them off with a tissue to bleach the middle part of the card.

Stamp the trees with black ink, dont forget second and third generation trees around as well.

Add leaves.

Add colour to the top of the card - yellow distress and to the bottom - brown distress.

Doodle the boarder and some lines for trees' bottom so they are not floating in the air.

The sentiment is from Concord and 9th Beautiful Butterfly set.

Hope you like it

Enjoy your weekend

Creative freedom

Hello crafty friends,
Today I have inspiration for a Bumbleberry Papercrafts ,
I created this card

I used the creative stamp set by The ink road.
I enjoyed working with this stamp set and the quality of stamps is superb.
How did I make a card:
Start with a white, blank card - I use Sheena stamping card for all my colour mediums.
Wet the card with water ( spray or brush is fine), use the flat brush to apply the sparkle pens - yellow,orange and red. Blend and spread the colour , kind of ombre  effect.... from the darkest shade on  the bottom to the lightest, almost pale cream at the to of the card.

When background is ready , stamp the wreath stamp and colour. I stamped the brush as a frame and little flowers from the same set. 

I coloured few brushes, stamp the big sentiment in the corner, on the separate card stamp the little sentiment and adhere ( using foam pads) to the middle of wreath.  

Finally,

I stamped and cut out scissors and brush and added them to card. I added few gold dots to the middle of the flowers and corners of the card.

Few mats and layers and 7"x7" cards is ready.

Happy stamping and creating,

Kasia
