October is nearly over.......

Hi There

Thanks for joining me for another Bizzy Becs Design team post. well October is almost

over, this year has gone so fast.

Today I would like to share with you a Birthday Card that I have made using some really great new 

products that Bec ordered in for me.

Spring has felt like it would never get here so I thought I would make a bright and

colourful card for a friends birthday.

The background and stamped image have been watercoloured using both watercolour pans and Pencils from the Prima range and I have

added a few details with dimensional drops and simple layering.

Supplies used: 

Stamp: Penny Black - Collage Of Wishes.

Dies: Memory box- Stitched Layered Squares

Lawn Fawn -  Everyday Sentiment Banners

Frantic Stamper_ Double Diamond Card Panel

Prima watercolour Pencils - The Basics and Soft Neutrals

Thanks for stopping by.

 Now don't forget to go have a look at Bizzy Becs online store

as you still have some time to take advantage of the Super Saver Discounts

Wish Big with Lou

Hi, Lou  here to today to share my Bizzy Bec's DT project with you.

For this card I aimed to make a quick and easy shaker card,  ummmmmm, so didn't turn out that way.

I will share a tip with you that I learnt this week as I decided to change.  DO NOT use mono glue or Tacky glue for shaker cards.  It does not dry properly and remains sticky or tacky.  So your sequins will stick to any of the mono or tacky glue that has slipped out from the layers.

I ended up taking my card to pieces and salvaging the image to start again.

Here is the finished card....

All the items I used that are available from Bec's are pre-order.

Product from Bizzy Bec's with links.....

Penny Black Wish Big clear stamp set (which is on special at the moment with free shipping in Australia)

Hello Fellow Crafters

Today I thought I'd make a man's card and create a scene.

How I made the card:

The blue background was achieved by sponging with a cloud stencil.

Grassy area I used green cardstock sponged a little and for the hills:

Memory Box - Golf club Landscape (I cut the flag off and added a couple more trees).

Die Namics - Rolling Hills

Memory Box - Puffy Clouds (sponged)

Frantic Stamper - Bi Plane

Memory Box - Flying Birds (BB used to have them)

One bird is from Impression Obsession - Sea Birds

Happy Birthday from PoppyCraft dies - Happy Birthday Balloon

I drew and coloured and cut the rocks out and pasted them.

Enjoy your week and happy crafting.

Hugs Carol

Elizabeth Crafts Design - Thinking of You

Hullo there everyone, Shaz here! Time to share with you another DT post. Trying the use of positive and negative of a word die again. I have two of these beautiful dies by Quietfire design for Elizabeth Crafts - one is a Happy birthday and the other is Thinking of you! I love these dies, because they are calligraphic and they cut so beautifully!

First card is using the negative space
1. Adhered the black background onto a sheet of double sided tape, added the floating black pieces in middle of letters I had saved when I cut the die.
2. Added the Cosmic Shimmer gilding flakes, Egyptian gold, pressing it well into sticky backed paper.
3. Then die cut a gold Spellbinder Gold Labels Four die (not on site but available from Bec, her Spellbinders are amazing prices!).
4. Embossed the black label with the same die to get the outline to hand cut around the inside shape of the die and popped it up on the gold. Matted it on handmade black and gold Chinese paper.

Added the black die cut to the sheet, then die cut the coloured gloss card with Spellbinder Pierced rectangles.
By adding it it before die cutting it became embedded in the gloss card and really looked great!
Also meant it wasn't easily going to come unstuck on glossy card, double bonus! Mounted it on black, then
 added ribbon and hessian or burlap strip underneath.

 That's it for today... I really appreciate all of you who call by to say hi!

A Little Bit Of Kite Flying

Hi Lou here with you on this drizzly, cold spring day.  At least it is in my part of the world.  A perfect day for crafting on the upside.

I am sharing my DT card for this month which uses the totally versatile,

extremely cute Lawn Fawn Yay, Kites stamp and Yay, Kites Lawn Cuts

For my card I decided to make a scene shaker card. 

I stamped the kite and clouds on the card base and coloured with Shimmering H20 paints, then I cut the glitter card for the frame and adhered the acetate to it.  I then added my foam tape to the base so it couldn't be seen and poured in the sequins and flattened them out so I could stick the frame and acetate on.

I then stamped and cut the "hello" and squirrel and glued them to the top.

The pic above shows the sequins all shaken out, cute hey?

Thanks loads for joining me today and I hope I have inspired you to make a shaker card of your own

Lou.

Hello Spring

Hello fellow crafters. 

Here is my card for this month.

Items used are:

The Flowers, leaves, dots and sentiment are all from 

the stamp and die set : Avery Elle - Petals and Stems

The Hello is from Elizabeth Crafts (sponged with inks)

The Hello was painted over with Mod Podge gloss lustre.

I decided to decorate the flowers and card corner with rhinestones.

Have you ever thought of trying the Lawn Fawn Stamp shammy?

I bought one and it is fantastic.

Have a great week, Blessings Carol

Watercolours + Embossed Darkroom Door Collage Stamp

Hi everyone - Shaz here, just popping in with quick post of some watercoloured poppies for Bizzy Bec's!

I bought from Bec this *Darkroom Door collage stamp, which I embossed in gold EP, and heat set. Then painted image in watercolour, using the Distress Inks, smooched on a ink block and on laminated sheet. * this stamp not on Bec's site, but she can get it for you! at a great price!

I really love this card. It looks wa-aaay better in real life, sadly sometimes photos never do a card justice this is one of them!

Used Glossy accents on poppy, mounting it on this gorgeous Our Daily Bread die set called "Lacey layered Square Dies" - it is square, but I extended it into rectangle (see tutorial on this here). It can be ordered from Bec.
The "smile' stamped greeting is also a greeting from Bec - Lawn Fawn "So much to say" a really great sentiment set!
Background designer paper - Paper Pad "Wild Rose Blackberry Lane", bought from Bec.

 Hope you've enjoyed this post, and it is good to be back again after my illness. Thank you everyone for encouragement, patience and support.
