Get Christmassy with Doodle Art

Morning xx

Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas Day? I was lucky to spend it with my beautiful family xxx

I've been getting a bit festive with my Doodle Art sets. These make such fun and festive Christmas cards and here are a selection of cards for today's weekly Bee Crafty blog post xx

Products used:
Doodle Art sets: most of them!! 🤣
Distress Oxides
Versafine

I first used my acrylic block as a guide, then stamped my Robin, and masked it off, before applying my background.

To create my backgrounds on today's cards, i applied Distress Oxides to an acrylic block. I then spritzed it with water and stamped the block direct to the card blank. Once dry I removed my Robin mask.

All my images were stamped in Black Onyx Versafine as I like the bold, contemporary feel of this look. I decided not to colour the images in as I felt it fitted in with this style.

I hope you enjoyed looking through today's post. I'll see you again soon.

ACT's Style Wire Hearts

Hello lovely crafters

Been playing around with ATC's for my weekly DT blog for Bee Crafty, using the beautiful
Style Wire Hearts as the focal point. I've not done many ATC's before but thought I'd have a bit of fun xx

Also used:
Distress Oxides 
Ticker Tape 2
Dinkables
Retro Dots and Dash
Black pen

To begin I cut my ATC's from white card, 2.5"x3.5"

I applied some Distress Oxides to my glass mat, spritzed with water, then smooshed my card around. I did this several times, drying in between each layer 

I stamped the hearts and dots and dash stamps randomly on/off the edge of the ATC's. 

Using a fine line pen, I drew some doodles within the heart frames.

Using the same Distress Oxides I blended randomly through the Distressed Harlequin and Brick Wall Dinkables.

I drew a wiggly frame around my ATC'S. 

To complete I stamped, cut out and adhered my Ticker Tape sentiments.

I had a lot of fun making these and I hope to be back with some more.

Hello you...

Hi happy crafters xx

Guess what I've been playing with for my weekly Bee Crafty blog post?..  its those fabulous Doodle Art stamp sets again 🤣 I can't get enough of them . So much fun and versatility 😁

For today's make I used:
Doodle Art regular Bird
XL Everyday Sentiments 
Distress Oxides 
Piece of bubble wrap!
Kuretake clean colour pens
Sparkle pens
Gelli plate

I created this background with my Gelli Plate,  Distress Oxides, and a piece of Bubblewrap 🤣

(You can get similar effect by applying the Distress Oxides to an acrylic block and spritzing with water. Press on to card blank, then stamp bits of the bubble wrap, inked up with a contrasting colour Oxide).

I stamped some of the elements randomly around my card, in black onyx Versafine. 

The bird and flowers were stamped in black onyx Versafine, coloured in with sparkle pens and cut out, before adhering with 3d glue gel. 

I also coloured in the leaves and branches of the swirl foliage, with my kuretake clean colour pens.

I stamped the Sentiment in Versafine and finished by drawing a wiggly frame around the inked panel.

And there we go 😁

Thanks for popping by and I'll be back soon

November page

Morning xx
As it's my turn on the Bee Crafty blog I am sharing the November page from a Calendar I made for a friend.
I used the beautiful Bird on a Branch and
Large Branch and Tree set

Also used:
Maple easy frame 
Distress Oxides
Black Versafine

To begin my page I worked out where my Tree was going to go, then I used my easy frame stencil to create the effect of the leaves on the tree. I blended Distress Oxides through them, masking each one off, using the innie.

I stamped the Tree over the top of the inked leaves, in Black Onyx Versafine.

The Bird in the Branch was also stamped,  slightly off the page, in the Black Versafine.

To complete I stamped the sentiment in the same Distress Oxides,  as the leaves.

I love making gifts for friends and I hope you enjoyed todays make.

Life is good

Hey everyone xx

The Gelli plate has been out again for this week's Bee Crafty blog. Thought I'd also get out some of the Wildflowers, from the BEAUtanicals range,and see where they led me.

Products used:
Wildflower: 1, 2, 5
Moon
Life is good sentiment stamp
Dinkables
Distress Oxides 
Gel Plate

I inked up my Gelli Plate with Distress Oxides and spritzed with a bit of water.

I then blended various Oxides through the Honeycomb and Leafy Branch Dinkables.

I lifted of a print on to a square of white card.

Once dry i stamped 3 different Wildflowers, in different Oxides, first and second generation, to get depth and dimension to my image. 

The Moon was stamped in Oxides, slightly off the edge of the card.

The Sentiment was stamped in Smokey Grey Versafine 

I matted this on to Rainbow Mirri card and then on to my card blank.

And that completes todays make. I hope you like the result. 

See you again soon

Hello crafters xxx

My turn on the Bee Crafty blog today so I thought I'd try out the new Mirror Stamping blocks  available on the website xx
I thought the Doodle Art Bird was the perfect stamp to use 😁

Also used:
Mushroom Doodle Art
Ladybird Doodle Art set 
Everyday Sentiments 2 
Dinkables
Distress Oxides 
Sparkle pens

To start this sample I used the Mirror Stamping blocks to create my two birds gazing into each others eyes 😁

To find out how to achieve this here is the link to Bevs facebook live tutorial 

https://www.facebook.com/BeeCraftyStamps/videos/420237891956870/

Having stamped my love birds I created my scene using stamps from the Mushroom and Ladyburd Doodle Art sets

I coloured my stamped images in with my sparkle pens

I inked through the Honeycomb Dinkable with Distress Oxides and then stamped my sentiment in Versafine, to complete my sample  

I hope you enjoyed todays make and will give the Mirror Stamping blocks a go..so much versatlity there...

Snowflakes falling...

Morning crafters xx

Any crafty plans for today?

I've been playing, yet again, with my Doodle Art sets. These make such fun and festive Christmas cards and here are a couple of cards using the beautiful Snowflakes, as the focal image.

Hope you enjoy today's weekly Bee Crafty blog post xx

Products used:
Doodle Art sets: Snowflakes, Christmas Tree
Distress Oxides
Versafine
Kuretake clean colour pens
Patterned paper

All my focal images were stamped in Black Onyx Versafine as I like the bold, contemporary feel of this look. It's simple, crisp and clean.

To create the 3d snowflakes, I stamped on to patterned paper, cut them out and layered them up. It's also nice to stamp some of the snowflakes, in black ink, directly on the card, then layer the snowflakes on top. It creates  more dimension.

I coloured in some aspects of the images,with my kuretake clean colour pens but you can use whatever you have in your crafty stash 

I hope you enjoyed looking through today's post. I'll see you again soon.

Believe in Magic

Hi everyone xx

It's my turn on the Bee Crafty blog today with a card I made using the gorgeous Unicorn Magic stamp. Love this collection, what is there not to love about Unicorns 🤣

Also used:
Bubblewrap Positive stamp 
XL Doodle Art Baubles stamp
Distress Oxides 
Gelli Plate

To begin my card I grabbed my beloved Gelli Plate. Not had it long but I'm loving it lol.

(You can create similar backgrounds by creating your inked panel and then stamping/stencilling each component). 

But I love the printed one layer effect you get with the Gel Plate.  

I used Distress Oxides on my plate, spritzed with water, and stamped the bubblewrap stamp in a different colour. 

I then printed my background on to the front of my card blank

I stamped the Unicorn, sentiment and the silhouette Unicorns, in Versafine Onyx Black. I also stamped the little stars from the Doodle Art Baubles set.

Using the bleaching effect, I lifted some of the ink from the Unicorn. I then added a hint of sparkle from my clear Sparkle pen. 

To complete I drew a wiggly frame around my inked panel. 

I hope you enjoyed todays post and I'll see you again soon

Doodle Art Robin

Morning xx

Hope everyone is well and looking forward to a crafty day?
I've been getting a bit festive with my Doodle Art sets, yet again, and here are a selection of cards using the delightful Robin, as the focal image.
Hope you enjoy today's weekly Bee Crafty blog post xx

Products used:
Doodle Art sets: all of them!! 🤣
Distress Oxides
Versafine
Kuretake clean colour pens
Sparkle pens
Gelli Plate

Whilst I have made my backgrounds on my Gelli Plate, you can achieve a similar effect by applying Distress Oxides to an acrylic block. Spritz with water and apply the ink direct to the card blank. Then stamp your desired images within the inked panel to create a random design

All my images were stamped in Black Onyx Versafine as I like the bold, contemporary feel to this style.

I coloured in some aspects of the images, either with kuretake clean colour pens or sparkle pens, but you can use whatever you have in your crafty stash 

Well there today's selection of makes. Until next time.
