Papermilldirect Tutorial for Double Stencilling

Hi folks, back again to let you know I have a tutorial as my PAPERMILLDIRECT DT work, over on their blog at the moment.

Why not check it out if you have time?

( HERE )

These are the finished cards, BOTH made with cardstock from Papermilldirect, of course :-)

 Both these cards were samples for my recent Chippenham Workshop, and so easy to do!

What do you think??

Back soon with my Lavinia DT work, for the February challenge.

Brusho's Again for Bee Crafty

Hi bloggers, I'm back again with a little trio of notelets I've made this week as my DT work for

BEE CRAFTY

I've used a very easy technique using a stamping block and Brusho's. 

I started by spritzing a perspex block with water, and adding a couple of colours of Brusho's, then quickly flipping the block and placing down on my cardstock. Sometimes it gets a bit messy and you have paint swooshing all over the card, but you never get 2 the same, which is nice.

Once this was dry, I overstamped with images and sentiments from the BEAUtanicals range,

I used teasels and ground elder. 

I added a bit of Glossy Accents to the heads, and a few sequins to finish.

Hope you like them.

Back soon with more Saturday inspiration,

Have a great weekend,

Morning crafters, Saturday already....where is this month going?? It will soon be Christmas!! ;-)

Anyway, this week for my BEE CRAFTY DT inspiration I've made a card which would be suitable for Valentine's day, a wedding, wedding anniversary....in fact lots of occasions, as it uses quite a generic sentiment.

The background is done with Brushos, then I heat-embossed 2 of the edges with 'Backdrops Frames' and Ranger embossing powder in Magenta.

I stamped the complete backdrop frame in the middle with Versamark and heat-embossed in black.

The sentiment was stamped onto a separate piece of card and adhered to the centre of the frame. 

All products are available from BEE CRAFTY

I've used a new textured cardstock, called Hemp from PAPERMILLDIRECT  

Then made two 'mats' of black smooth & raspberry pink, also from Papermilldirect.

Well, that's it for today, hope you like my card. It would be great if you could take a minute to leave a comment....good or bad, no problem.

Back soon with some new Lavinia Stamps creations

See ya next week,

Bee Crafty Saturday Inspiration.....

Hi Bloggers, back again with a few projects I made for last weeks BEE CRAFTY show on Hochanda.....did you get a chance to watch? If not, you can find it on 'catch-up'.

The background on this card was made with crumpled copier paper, then inked with distress inks. 

I've used the XL Banksy stamps & sentiments which were on the show, for all the cards and MDF tags.

There are 4 new word stencils available too....they make great backgrounds!

Why not pop over to BEE CRAFTY and checkout all the new additions.

Catch you all next week,
