Seasons Greetings Slimline Card with Crazy Cats

 

Hello Everyone

Today is my turn to share inspiration for Bizzy Becs and I have

made a holiday season card for you.

I have made a slimline card, they really are the rage at the moment. I used a Paper Rose Studio 

slimline Card Creator Die for my shaker window background.

I have stamped the Crazy Cats from Stampers Anonymous on blending card and coloured with copic markers. Now I must say I got a new blending card fro Craft Jeanie and I love it.

Its a super smooth card and a really nice colour. Best of all the Copics love it and I find I get a really smooth blend without too much effort. 

I will do some comparisons for you and share them on my blog.

I have used a slimline die to cut out the background in card as well as in craft foam to space out 

my shaker windows.

I have added Shaker elements from Paper Rose Studio to fill these windows.

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Hello again

Today my card I am sharing is for Bizzy Becs and as it's time to get our 

Christmas spirit going I thought I would share a cute Penquin Christmas card.

I have used the Stampingbella Penguins Bearing Gifts stamp set for my card using

 a mint and red theme, I do just adore these two colours together. 

 The Background is simply made by blending Distress Oxide inks together

 using a blending brush working from my lightest colour, Speckled Egg through to my 

darkest colour Peacock Feathers.

The Little Penguins are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto blending card and 

coloured with Copic markers, I have then fussy cut them out

 and glued them onto the background.

I have then cut out my sentiment using red glitter cardstock.

Christmas Koko and Reindeer card for Bizzy Becs

 

Hello everyone

 

I have made a new card for Bizzy Becs using 

the gorgeous Koko and Reindeer Digital stamp.

I have been watching a few videos on YouTube and really wanted to try colouring in 

a snow scape with my Copic markers.

I have printed the Digital stamp onto Xpress-It blending card and coloured it in with my Copic pens.

I have then drawn in freehand the snow line in the background.

 

Colouring the night sky was next starting with my darkest blue and moving down through to the

 lightest blue leaving a circle in the top edge to add my moon which I have drawn in freehand.

The trees are drawn freehand on top of the coloured night sky.

I have fussy cut out my coloured in elephant and reindeer and glued them down onto my 

completed background.

Once everything is in place I have used a white gel pen to add the snow! 

It does take awhile that's for sure 

Lastly I have stamped my sentiment and cut it down to size.

 Lastly I have trimmed down my card using a large stitched rectangle die.

Mouse on Present Christmas Card

 

Hi I'm back with card for Bizzy Becs and I have used one of the 

Bizzy Becs Digital Stamps.

For this card I have printed the digital file onto Xpress-it blending card using my inkjet printer 

so that I can colour with Copic Markers.

After Colouring I have fussy cut to the image and mounted it onto my background layers.

I watched a facebook live with Luisana Lowry from my life in my craft room where she coloured in a gift  ribbon to look like gold foil and I really wanted to try out her technique.

I love how the brown under colours really help to create the shine on the ribbon.

 

The Happy Christmas Die cut from Creative expressions has been hot foiled with a satin green foil.

I have then glued my sentiment down onto an embossed panel that I die cut out and ran through 

an embossing folder.

Silhouette card with Penny Black Happy notes stamp set

 

Hi there 

I thought I would share a quick card for Bizzy Becs today.

To create this card I used my blending brushes and distress oxide inks to create my back ground. 

I started blending Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide at the top of my card, then blended that into Milled Lavender followed by Worn Lipstick and finally Dusty Concord creating a light sunset sky.

Once I had the right depth of colour and tones I allowed the ink to dry off completely so that I could stamp and emboss my image in the next step.

Using a stamping platform I have stamped my images in black ink and coated with clear embossing powder to help the black pop off the background

My sentiment is simply cut out of black card and glued onto the card.

Supplies Used:

Penny black - Happy Notes Stamp Set

Creative Expressions - Guess who thinks you're Special mini die

Distress Oxide inks:

Tumbled Glass

Milled Lavender

Worn Lipstick

Dusty Concord

Picket Fence blending Brushes

Don't forget to pop into the store and have a look at these great ranges that you can pre-order and if you can't find what you're looking foe send Bec an email.

Kendyll Girl greeting card

Hi There

Today I am sharing with you a card I have made for Bizzy Bec's Design Team.

I have kept this one really simple but I love how bright it turned out.

I have used acrylic paint to create the stripes on the Background. 

I have then drawn fine black lines between the colours to define them. I have then splattered black and white acrylic paint on top of the rainbow stripes.

I have stamped the Kendyll Girl stamp in black ink and used the matching die to cut it out. 

I have then used the same die to cut out a piece of craft foam to mount it on.

I have added glossy accents to Her glasses for the shine on the lenses, but have left everything else black and white.

The Sentiment stamp, also from Picket Fence Studios, has been stamped in Archival ink onto of the acrylic paint.

Supplies Used:
