Unwind

 I am sorry for the shortness of this post. I don’t find it easy to do a blog post from my mobile. I have made a simple card this month with  “Unwind” a Penny Black clear stamp. I hope you like it. My life at the moment is far from unwind or let the relaxation begin.  The link to this stamp in Bizzy Bec’s shop is

Magnolia and Cherry Blossoms.....

 Hi everyone Karen here, today it is my turn to share with you.

In September last year Bec released a Digital package  as a Lockdown Freebie, which included Digital Papers in various colours and two Magnolia and Cherry Blossom Digital Stamps.  For my inspiration today I have chosen to use the Digital Stamp  in the left facing position, together with a Bizzy Becs Digital Sentiment Stamp (which is an oldie so unsure if it was a newsletter freebie.)

Supplies used:

Bizzy Becs Digital Stamp - Magnolia and Cherry Blossom

(not currently listed in the store)

Bizzy Becs Digital Stamp -  Have a Fabulous Birthday

(another oldie - not currently listed in store)

Lawn Fawn Die - Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables

Copic Markers

Faber Castell Poly Chromos Pencils

Thanks for looking

Don't forget our new Design Team Callout, you can find the details here.

Until next time, Happy Crafting.

Inspiration Post

 Ina here and 

It's my Inspiration Day to show you

a bit of simple stenciling.

My background came from my bits box 

which was inked up with Lindy's Magicals

on to watercolour paper.

The stencil is from

 Darkroom Door Carved Flowers Stencil 

which I had on pre order and you can

do the same at the Store Here

I thought it would look strikng in black

so added Black Gesso through the stencil

arranging three of the one flower.

There are three different ones making

it a good value buy..

Centres have been filled  with Nuvo Drops

and sentiment die cut twice for

a shadow effect (which I wasn't good at)

Adhered to white card base and I am done.

You still have time to play in our

 January Challenge Here 

and be in the running to be our Monthly Winner.

Australian Residence will win a Mystery Stamp

from the Store and Overseas 3 of Bec's Digi Stamps.

PS Are you interested in joining the Bizzy Becs Designers?

If so send an email off to Bec Here with your expression of interest.

School Girl Crystal

 For my inspiration this month, I would like to highlight Bizzy Bec's Miss Cherry Martini Collection of digital stamps.  They have been in the shop for quite a while now, but they are great digital stamps to use on teenage girl cards.  I love all of the images, however, today I am working with "School Girl Crystal" for a card for  my eldest grand-daughter' as she enters her second year of high school.

"School Girl Crystal" digital stamp

Now I am off to buy the rest of the Miss Cherry Martini collection, didn't realise Crystal was the only one in my stash.  Don't forget to join in our January Blog Challenge "Anything Goes".  You still have time!

Double Embossing with Altenew 3D Flowery Field.....

Hi everyone Karen here.

Today it is my turn to share on the blog.  I have seen a few cards lately when looking at google for fresh ideas on double embossing using two embossing folders.  It looked a lot of fun so thought I would have a go.  

For my first emboss I used an old Sizzix embossing folder from my stash and then followed over the top with my 3D Folder from Altenew.  When it was first done I was not too sure if I liked it or not, but after adding some Palette  Pastels over the top it just seemed to pop.

Supplies used:

Altenew 3D Embossing Folder - Flowery Field

(although not currently listed most of the 3d folders can used for this technique and the above folder if available can be ordered through Bec at the store)

Taylored Expressions Die and Stamp - Simple Strips Birthday

Lawn Fawn Die - Stitched Rectangle Frames 

(not currently listed due to postal issues)

Palette Pastels - info available on my blog 

sequins from stash 

Thanks for looking.

Our new challenge is up and running so hope you can join us.

Until next time - Happy Crafting
