Bee-lieve Textured tag

 

                                       

Hi There! I am here to share a step by step for this textured tag.

I began by using the tag dies to cut a mixed media card tag and a kraft backing piece for it.

I used one of the latest dinkables to apply crackle paste to the tag and left to dry. 

Next I sprayed the tag with distress oxide sprays in carved pumpkin and peacock feathers. I also dripped a little peacock feathers onto the textured surface and splattered with water and left to dry.

Using walnut stain Distress oxide I stamped the border down the two edges.

On a separate piece of card I stamped the Bees in Black Versafine Clair ink.

I cut them out and coloured the bees with coloured pencils. 

I also stamped and cut out the Bee-lieve sentiment.

Using matte medium I assembled it all.

Here is the finished tag again.

I used:

Icy tag

Hi There

Thought I would show you how I made this shimmery icy tag. 

I began by cutting the largest tag from mixed media paper and the larger mount from white card.
 

On the tag, I stamped the largest snowflake stamp in versamark ink and embossed in fine detail white embossing powder

I sprayed water onto the tag and sprinkled with explosion powder and left to dry

once it was dry I stuck it onto the white mount and added a winter wordy sticker, some sequins and a ribbon. 

Here is the finished tag once more.

I used :

Tag dies

Yuletide doodle art snowflakes XL

Versamark ink

Detail white embossing powder

Explosion powders

Winter wordy stickers

Mixed media paper

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 swallow tag

Hi There! As the theme for this month's challenge over in the Bee Crafty Facebook group is tags, I thought I would make a tag this week. 

I began by cutting the biggest tag from mixed media card using the Bee Crafty Dies. 
 

Next I sprayed it with Dylusions sprays and left it to dry.

Once it was dry I used the dotty dinkable and black soot oxide ink to add some stencilling and also brushed a little ink around the edge of the tag. 

I stamped some of the coffee stain rings and numbers using versafine clair ink over the tag

on a seperate piece of card I stamped the swallow stamp and die cut it

I painted it using distress inks.

I added some white highlights on the tag using a white posca pen and then stamped some of the small words too.

Once it was dry I added the swallow to the tag with 3d glue, along with a little black thread under the swallow and some fibres to the tag top.

Here is the finished tag.

I used:

Tag dies

Dinkables set 2

Coffee stain stamp set

Small words stamp set

Birds and butterflies regular stamps

Birds and butterflies regular dies

Dylusions sprays in Lemon Zest and Blue Lagoon

Black soot Distress Oxide ink

Versafine clair in Warm breeze and nocturne

White posca pen

Thread

As Jane said in her live last week, tags are a great way of experimenting and just having a go when mojo is lacking. It is equally easy to do this sort of background a little larger and use it on a card or a journal page.

Thanks for looking! 

Do-you-think-he-saurus?

Hi There! I am here with a step by step for this T-Rex card today. With several dinosaur fans in the family I had to get this stamp set!  

I began by smooshing a background of Crackling Campfire, Peeled Paint and Rustic Wilderness Distress oxide inks on to mixed media paper. I made sure this is completely dry before stamping on it.

Next I used rustic Wilderness and Vintage photo Distress oxide inks to stamp the smaller worker stamps over the smooshed background. 

I cut two tags from watercolour paper using the middle sized die from the tags and banners die set. I stamped the text stamp onto the tag with Vintage photo distress oxide and sponged a little around the edge of the tag too. 

I used Versamark ink to stamp the smaller dinosaur skull on to a scrap of gold card and embossed with fine detail white embossing powder. 

After cutting out the skull, I stamped the remaining tag with the leaf stamp in Tea Dye distress ink.

Next I assembled the card, sticking the background to an A5 white blank card. I added some string to the tags and attached them to the front of the card with 3d glue. I used the same glue to add the skull to the 2nd tag. It would be easy to personalise it by adding a name to the second tag too.

Here is another look at the finished card, along with links to the products in the Bee Crafty store:

For those of you that saw my post about Karate grading a few weeks back, I have now received my belt. In our club, once you reach the Dan grades you do not have a new belt again, so each one is created for each individual student. One end is embroidered with the name of our club in Japanese...

The other end has my name translated into Japanese...

It is going to take a while, and plenty of tying, for it to soften up and hang well, but I love it. Here is the certificate that I received on the day.

Thanks for looking and Happy Crafting!
