Never Regret Something That Made You Smile

Good Morning. 

Monday again and it is my turn to share with you what I have created. 

So today I thought I would share with you a creation I made using the "Never Regret" stamp from the Wordage collection. 

I LOVE this stamp the saying is so beautiful and can be used for so many occasions. 

The card is in the shape of a DL but it is cut to 8 inches and folded in half to give the front a base of 4 inches. 

Each layer is a 1/4 inch smaller than the last layer to give a nice border around. 

The top layer is in two sections with the blue being 3 inches wide. 

The Sentiment "Never Regret" (large)   from the Wordage range has been stamped using a clear stamp pad and embossed using a fine silver embossing powder.

I ran the blue section through my embossing machine and used the Inkables Chain Link Fence Mask 

To finish the card I added white liquid pearls to the center of the "chain links" and to the edge of the sentiment.  I also added velvet ribbon in one full piece and a second piece which I cut down and folded to create a "bow" I secured this into place with a "pearl" brad.

 

I am going to enter this into the following challenges

Butterfly Flutterfly

Hi Everyone, 

How are we all today?

Today's  card I have concentrated on just the Inkables Masks that you can get from Bev and  how they can look without having to be mega grungy with them. 

 I used 

Inkable - Chain Link Fencing Mask

Inkable - Honeycombe Mask

WORDage - Minis - Thank You/Hugs

So I cut down my card stock to 5.25 x 5.25 inches.

I matted this with the next layer that I cut to just under 5 x 5 this layer was plain white cardstock and it was run through my calibre with the  Chain Link Fencing mask, once it was embossed I used my Worn Lipstick Distress Ink and inked through the stencil. This is about as inky as I get. 

Next I cut a strip the same width but about 4 inches high, I used a border punch to punch along the bottom, I then ran this through the calibre with the "Honeycombe" mask.  I very gently ran a make up sponge done the edges with some of the worn lipstick.  Before adhering it I added a piece of ribbon and tied it with a bow. 

Next I stamped out using the worn Lipstick the sentiment "Hugs and Kisses" and matted this up. 

For the Butterflies I cut different size butterflies out, and embossed these with the Honeycomb mask.  I added liquid pearls down the centre of the butterflies. 

To finish the card I added three pieces of card candi down at the bottom.

I hope you like the card, and don't forget to pop back tomorrow to see what Sue has for you - I am sure she will have something special for you as normal. 

Take care see you next Monday

Yellow, Grey and A Tin Man

Hi Guys, 

Thanks for stopping back in today. 

Today I have a card that is great for a male. 

To create the card I folded and created an A5 Card base, matted with a grey layer. I added fake stitching to this layer to give the eye somewhere to stop. Next I cut down some stamping card to fit within the grey. I used a yellow ink pad and stamped the "Bark Positive" background stamp. I repeated this to create three sections. On the bottom layer I added twine and finished it with a knot. I matted this on 2 layers of foam tape and placed it at the bottom, the middle section is on one layer of foam tape and the top section I glued down flat.  I then used a yellow piece of card blank cut it down using a circle die, and used my grand calibre to run it through with my Inkables "Honeycomb" mask to give the embossing to it. Finally I stamped my "Tinman" stamp added stitching around him and matted him onto the grey card stock, I cut a shape out for the sentiment and used the Wordage "Thank You" Stamp, and added three pieces of card candi. 

That is all for me for today, don't forget to pop back tomorrow for more creations from Sue.

Among The Stars

Good Morning Guys,

How are we all today, hope you have all had a great weekend and managed to get some crafting done.

Today I am back and as promised it is not a Christmas card today.

Instead today is a card that I have made with one of the wordage stamps

I think you are starting to get to know me by now and that my favourite colour is Pink. I haven't shared a pink and white card for a few weeks so I thought I needed to rectify that straight away hahaha. 

Today's card is another 6x6 white card, matted and layered, this time the "pink" layer is actually a white texture piece of card stock that I used "Warn Lipstick" from the distress range and inked the edges giving it a mottled pink look, I then took a white piece of card and embossed it using an embossing folder of little dots, I thought the little dots resembled what I imagine the moon would look like in texture all bumpy and lumpy with bits missing (no idea why I think this, it is strange how you get an image in your head and stick to it)

I used my Cameo machine but I guess you could cut the star free hand if you don't have shaky hands (I would not get away with it trust me) I inked the star with the same distress ink to give it a matching look to the second layer, I also did this with the five smaller stars. 

In the center of the larger star I stamped and embossed my sentiment I added fake stitching and gems to the card and that was it complete.

So what do we think?  The sentiments that Bee Crafty have are just beautiful and can come in for so many occasions. 

Well that is it for me for today, don't forget Sue will be back tomorrow and trust me you don't want to miss it.

Under My Tree

Good Morning Everyone, 

Today I thought I would share with you a Christmas card.  I no we are only in June, but honestly the way this year is going it will soon be here before we know it.. 

 Whilst I was on holiday last month down near Bev I paid her a little visit and I loved this saying and thought it was so cool for a Christmas card as it was something a bit different. 

So the card is a 6x6 white card, matted with a Christmas red card stock, the next layer is a white card stock and I have used one of the Inkables called Chainlink Fencing.

I used my grand calibre and embossed then I used my Red Brick Distress Ink and inked through the stencil using cut and dry foam. 

Next I stamped and embossed it using a glitter gold embossing powder  I matted this onto red and white cars stock. I used foam tape to mount this up to give it dimension. 

I found three poinsettias that were origianlly white and used the same distress ink and coloured them in I just used different pressure and different amount of ink on each one to give the lighter and darker shades. These are from card, but you could easily use fabric ones as well, or even Christmas roses.

To finish the card I added card candi and gold liquid pearls to the center of the chain links and the center of the flowers. 

Well that is it for me for another week, I will be back next week and I promise it will not be a Christmas card.

Take care

To The Moon

Good Morning Everyone, 

Can not believe that it is back to Monday already. 

Today is something well out of my comfort zone, and something that I don't normally like doing. 

I decided to have a go at making a tag, I have done a few in the past but they have always been pretty tags and my normal style so this one, out come the distress markers and the embossing powders and I was just going to give it ago. 

So I got out my tag, which was originally a plain white tag, took the distress ink pad smudged it on my splodge mat and then using cut and dry foam I "inked" the tag with vintage photo. 

 I then stamped and embossed the sentiment on to the tag. 

I used a zig zag border strip coloured it really dark blue to match the ribbon, added three slightly lighter blue stars. I added white stitching to the stars and black stitching to the tag.

It really didn't take me all that long to do.. Do I like the tag.. mmmm.. Will I do another one.. mm maybe not for a while.. But I just wanted to show you that by going out of your comfort zone can sometimes be a good thing, and if not well at least you said you had a go at it.

Dancing on Thin Ice

Good Morning, 

Well it is Monday again and that means it is time for me to showcase you another card that I have made with one of Bev's stamps. 

Today I am showing you one of the Wordage stamps  Like I said previously I love these stamps and the sayings are so beautiful. 

Today's card is a 6x6

**Tip - I made my own card blank this time so for it to fit in a shop purchased envelope the card needs to be made just slightly shorter then 6x6 otherwise it will not fit in the envelope. **

I matted and layered this card blank with black and lobster pink card. The card base is black, lobster pink, black with white stitching around and then a final layer of lobster pink which has been embossed using an embossing folder. I didn't stick to the same dimensions for every layer, sometimes I like the look of fat layer and a thin layer. 

I stamped and embossed using a silver embossing powder the sentiment (I love this sentiment and have some good ideas for it, for a Christmas card, so keep an eye out for that one coming.) I matted this onto a serious of pink and black layers as well. 

To complete the card I made 8 flowers, I embossed the black layer with a dotty embossing folder and the pink layer with a flower embossing folder, I added a piece of card candi to each flower. I think you could get away with some gems in the center if you wanted to.

I didn't want to add much more, as I wanted the sentiment to be the main feature as it is such a beautiful saying.

The lovely sentiment, look how good it is stamped and embossed, this was a first time stamp as well. That is how good quality Bev's stamps are!

 A quick shot of the flowers 

Well that is it for me for today, don't forget to pop back tomorrow and see what Sue has on offer for you. 

See you next Monday

Meet Shirley

Good Morning Guys, 

Have you heard the news?

Bee Crafty have just launched a new range!

How great are these? I am sure you will be just as excited about them, as all of us at Bee Crafty are!

Clare introduced you to Vera yesterday, so today I am going to introduce you to Shirley. 

The card blank is an 8X8 Card matted with cream, yellow and pink card, finished with a flowery backing paper.  The swirls are made with funky foam, wrapped around a pencil and I used my heat gun to heat it up, once it had a good few seconds all around, I removed it and tripped it down to fit the card.

Shirley was coloured in with Promarker Pens and Graph It Marker Pens, I added glossy accents to her glasses to give it a bit of texture.

 The sentiment is from the wordage and I think this goes really well with it.

 The items I used:

 Card Stock

Wordage Stamp

Shirley

Fabric Flowers

Foam Swirls 

Alcohol Marker Pens

Corner Die

 So what do you think? 

They are so sweet and I can not wait to see what you create with them.
