Crafty Individuals Samples

 Hi There! 

It was 4th February that Jean took the latest Crafty Individuals stamps designed by Ellie Mulligan to the Craft Store, and they were a great hit! Here are the samples I made using them.

And finally here is my little book. I made a very similar one in a facebook live on 9th February. 

If you would like to see how I made it you can find the live here

You can find the new stamps here on the Crafty Individuals website from today!

Thanks for looking! 

Bee Crafty Samples for the Craft Store

 Hi There! Did you see Bee Crafty's Bev on the Craft Store last week with the new tag inkables?  They are sooooo cool! I have loved playing with them and still have them out on my desk! Here are the samples I made.  First up is a card where I used them to emboss through using speckled egg embossing glaze.

Next I used them to add distress oxide ink to a smooshed background...

And here I used them to add texture paste then dry brushed dylusions shimmer paint over them and the pop out mdf elements. 

 I also used them to add texture paste once more to an mdf arch plaque.

For the cover of this notebook I used them over a gelli print. 

As well as the samples above I made a bag using calico.  I painted the fabric with gesso and Dylusions paint, stencilling and stamping it with the products that were on the show. 

I also used gelli print papers to create this mini book featuring the Dragonfly stamps

A Vintage tag

 Hi there! I have made another tag this week, and this time I have gone for a vintage vibe. Here is how I made it.

I began with a Dina Wakely size 10 mixed media tag. (I cut 2 cm from the bottom as I intend adding it to a journal page later.) 

I used a blending brush to apply distress oxide inks over the whole tag.

I splattered water and sprayed a little Distress oxide spray in wild honey across the tag. 

When it was dry I used the metalwork alpha 6x6 inkable to add the numbers top and bottom.

I stamped the dotty borders around the tag, 

then added the smaller stamp from the ledger measure down the left side.

I stamped the pocket watch stamp (no longer available, but there is a pocket watch a little smaller that you could stamp then cut out on the other Ledger measure stamp) onto a book page using versafine clair pinecone ink . I blended a little distress oxide ink on it to age it and cut it out. 

Using collage medium, I stuck it to the tag and left it to dry.

I stamped the Time sentiment in versafine clair ink onto a scrap of Dina Wakely collage paper and cut it out. 

I worked out where I wanted to place each part of the sentiment before sticking it down with more collage medium. 

Here is the finished tag with a gold mat and some lace and twine added.

This is what I used:

Dina Wakely Tags size 10

Distress oxide inks in Antique linen, Tea dye, Vintage photo and Walnut stain.

Distress oxide ink spray in Wild Honey

Metalwork Alpha inkable

Texture borders stamp set

Ledger Measure stamp set

Pocketwatch stamp

Tomorrow, Bev and Sam are on The Craft Store at 1pm with some gorgeous new tag inkables that are a Must-have! Here is a sneaky peek at one of the samples. 

I will be doing a Try it out Tuesday takeover Facebook Live tomorrow evening at 8pm over on the Bee Crafty Facebook page. Hope you can join me! 

Thanks for looking and for all your lovely comments. They are very much appreciated.

Crafty Individuals Samples

 Hi All! In the mad rush towards Christmas, and with preparing samples for two shows in quick succession, plus a holiday, I completely forgot to post my last lot of Crafty Individuals samples! So sorry, but hopefully they will add a little cheer to your day! 

First is the little canvas I made, using 3 of the fishes.

Another of the fishes on this card, along with the older stamps that were on the show and some CI papers too.

Next we have those brilliant Dogs, who all look a bit worried, lol

and these two are feigning innocence I think 

The fish can be teamed up very simply on a smooshed background.

The dogs look equally good stamped onto book paper or patterned paper...

or simply coloured.

finally, here are the shrink plastic earrings I made using the fish. 

You can find all of the stamps, stencils and papers used to make these on the Crafty Individuals website. The fabulous fish and dog stamps designed by Sharron Bates are here.

Thank you so much for your kind comments. I hope to get round to visiting you at the weekend x
