Bee Happy beehive, honey and bees 7in square card - 
Day 131 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's card for day 131 of my 365 day challenge is one using the Bee Happy stamp and mask collection from Hunkydory, some alcohol markers and inks.


How I made this card:-

  • I used the Bee Happy For the Love of Masks stencil to colour the border of a 7" white car using Altenew inks - Mango Smoothie, Cotton Candy and Mustard Seed Tim Holtz Distress inks.
  • I then stencilled through the small bee section of the mask using Pure Graphite Altenew ink in each of the corner.
  • I cut a panel of orange card (from Coredinations or American Craft) which measured 150mm square and edged round it using a dark brown alcohol marker.
  • I decided to use 4 pre-cut white card panels (approx 67mm each) and stamped one using the honeycomb, another with the BEE happy sentiments, smaller bee and flowers, a third one with the beehive and the last one the honey jar.
  • I then stamped one of the larger bees on to a panel (which came from one of Hunkydory's window aperture cards) and some flowers and coloured the frame bit using a couple of alcohol markers.
  • I used alcohol markers (orange and brown) to colour in the beehive and green for the grass. I added some blue ink for the sky. For the honeycomb, I coloured them in using yellow and orange Zig Clean Color Water colour pens. I coloured in the door using the brown marker.
  • For the flowers, I used some dye based inks and used a water brush to fill them in. The honey jar was coloured using the same orange and brown alcohol markers as the beehive along with the blue/purple ones for the cover. I also coloured the sky in using ink that was left on a sponge.
  • I stuck them next to each other on the larger panel leaving a narrow border around each of them (having edged them in brown alcohol marker too).
  • Finally, I stuck the whole thing to the front of the card and added the bee panel to the top left hand corner panel using foam pads.
  • I also added a small flower die cut (from Tattered Lace dies) in the middle of it.

And there you are a card that is easy to make and would be great to give!

Mother's Day flowers card

Mother's Day flowers card Hi Craft addicts! I really love using Tim Holtz's Distress Crayons and so I made this card with one of the designs I created. How I made this card:- I used Tim Holtz Ranger Yupo paper as the base for the flower design - I used his Orange, Yellow, Red and Brown Distress Crayons - just added a few flicks of colour to the paper and then quickly used my finger to spread it a bit...  I repeated the process several times, changing the size of the flowers slightly. Once I was happy with them, I then used a damp waterbrush to fade the colours out a bit. I also used some of the Ranger Blue and Green Distress Crayons to add a faded background to it. I trimmed the panel so it measured 3" x 4.5" and edged it with a Black alcohol marker. I then glued it to some Kraft card (American Crafts as it has a linen effect to it) and cut it so there was a slightly wider border around it. I attached the whole panel to the front of a 5"...

With Love Abstract flower in pink, black and white on hand coloured flowery background square card

With Love Abstract flower in pink, black and white on hand coloured flowery background square card Hi Craft Addicts! Today's card is a result of using a background I have created myself using Tim Holtz Distress Crayons along with dies from Toni Darroch's Stamps by Me. How I made this card:- I had been playing with some Tim Holtz Distress Crayons to make the flowery background (it measures approx 5" square as the card itself is a 6" one - to do it, I used Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry, experimenting with the "strokes"  I used - it took a bit of time to get the effect right - I used normal stamping paper this time rather than Yupo as it gives a totally different effect. I also used a paintbrush and some water to blend them in even more. Once I was happy with what I had done, I then added some green alcohol marker to create the stalks and some faded blue and yellow spots dotted around the pattern. I then edged it with a black alcohol marker. ...

Happy Birthday - Meerkat on desert background 7x5in card - Day 110 of my 365 day challenge

Happy Birthday - Meerkat on desert background 7x5in card -  Day 110 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I really enjoyed making this Birthday card - especially colouring in the background which I am pleased with how it turned out. How I made this card:- I had previously cut out a few of the Meerkats (a Tattered Lace die) using various cardstocks and thought that this Kraft card one would work well on a desert background. I therefore cut a piece of smooth white card to 110x145mm approximately and started to colour it in. I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to do this-  Tea Dye, Dried Marigold and Rusty Hinge are the main ones used - making it darker at both the top and the bottom. I also added a hint of green to the centre of the panel. I then cut out the oval label panel in the middle of it (I think it was either a Tonic Studios or Tattered Lace die) - I also cut a similar panel using a darker Kraft cardstock. I stuck the large layer on to the fro...
