More samples from Crafty Individuals Animals galore show

 

Hi there! Thought I would share with you my other samples from the most recent Crafty Individuals Hochanda show now that the stamps have been added to the website.  First up is the wonderful giraffe (CI-564), stamped and layerd onto a background created with dylusions sprays, crazing collage medium and Bee Crafty stencils. The giraffes were embossed - one in gold and one in copper and coloured with arteza brush pens onto watercolour card. The sentiment was stamped using the Bee Crafty Typewriter Alpha set.

For the Flamingo card I used the trees from CI-561 and sentiment from CI-565 along with Mismesh, Fragmentation and  CI-116 along with the Flamingo (CI-563)

I think the giraffe is possibly my favourite. I stamped him in black versafine clair, masked him and then stencilled with distress inks and a that's crafty stencil. I stamped the French Script in grey ink down the side and added the Happy Birthday from CI-464 over the top. This was a quick card.

Next is the stag, watercoloured and placed over a backgorund of distress oxide inks in Antique linen and Speckled egg. The background stamp is CI-430 and the sentiment is on CI-438

Finally here is my altered tuna tin! I cut a circle of one of Malcolm's photo background papers to cover the bottom and added vintage style journaling paper to the mdf base and the outside of the tin. I stamped the toucan and cut it out, extending the branch until it was longer than the width of the tin. I attached the ends of the branch with strong glue to the inside of the tin then added a few leaves from a discontinued set

Do check out all the new product on the website that you can find here. 

Thanks for looking!

Crafty Individuals on Hochanda next week!

 The lovely Jean Hardy will be taking some brand new Ellie Mulligan stamps and loads of gorgeous samples on to Hochanda on Friday (12th February) at 10am and 2pm. Make sure you don't miss the Crafty Individuals shows!

Here are a couple of the samples I made for Jean using the Ellie Mulligan lion king stamp CI-524. 

The first was stamped over a background of smooshed distress oxides in crackling campfire, speckled egg and peacock feathers. I fussy cut it and then brayered a background in 3 shades of aqua/blue chalk paint. I used a That's crafty stencil and gold paint on the background before adhering the lion using 3d foam pads to the front.

For my second card I smooshed the background with the same colours then stamped it with a range of Flo Langley's background stamps. I stamped the lion onto kraft card adding a little coloured pencil to emphasize his features and again used 3d foam. The sentiment was stamped and embossed onto jade parchment paper and folded over the corner. 

Thanks for looking!

Hochanda samples for Bee Crafty

 Did you see Bev on Hochanda on Thursday? She took the Regular Doodle Art houses, brand new dies and some wonderful new big ones inkables too. The whole range of Big Ones inkables were available and also the XL house stamps. Needless to say there were several sell outs, but the website will be restocked soon if you missed out. Here are my samples:

These first two were made with the XL houses. They were coloured with Ecoline brush pens and the new Cotswold Stone big one inkable was used at the bottom.

This card has 3 of the regular stamps, which were die-cut. On the left is 'Rainbow View' in the middle is 'Sky Terrace' and on the right is 'Villa Rosé', again coloured with Ecoline pens.

Next up areTwo samples using 'Bird House'

and some more using Villa Rosé, including a calico drawstring bag coloured with inktense blocks...

Here is another sample using Rainbow View and featuring the fabulous Big ones inkable clouds stencil

 and some more using Sky Terrace.

The background on this yellow and pink one was done with Dylusions sprays and crazing collage medium.

The Cotswold Stone inkable looks great on MDF too!

Thanks for looking!

A journey into Bullet Journaling for me

 Did you see Bev from Bee Crafty on Hochanda last Tuesday? The show had some fabulous stamps, templates, pens and journals, and creating my samples was my first real venture into bullet journaling.

I made quite a few samples, both journal spreads and cards, and I really enjoyed it, but have to admit I did a bit of a search for ideas on Pinterest first. I will definitely be having a journal rather than a diary from now on! 

Here are a few more ideas for journal pages...

Here are a few cards too...

I also used the stamps and tag dies to make a little birthday book.

here are a few of the pages...

 I will be back in the next couple of weeks with a little step by step to make one of these.

You can find the Queen Bee Journalling stamps and templates here.

The large numbers are here

Small words are here

Typewriter Alpha is here

Tag dies are here

I think you can probably see how much fun I've had and I've not really stopped since! 😁 I will share my 2021 journal progress with you in the new year.  

Thanks for looking!

Hochanda Samples for Crafty Individuals shows

 Did you see Jean on Hochanda on Saturday with the latest stamps from Crafty Individuals? There are 4 brand new stamps designed by Sharron Bates that you can find here on the crafty Individuals website, along with some other goodies. I had such fun making my samples! First is 'of the Sea' stamped onto an alcohol ink background

Next is the same stamp, watercoloured and teamed up with the Craft Individuals 'wonderfully weathered' papers

 And again with Wonderfully weathered 2 papers and splattered and painted with distress oxides

The second stamp 'The Street' looks great coloured with Speckled Egg and Crackling Campfire Distress oxide inks.

I also tried stamping it on a background sprayed with dylusion inks and highlighted with posca pens

My last sample using The Street was embossed in white over an inky background

I had great fun with 'Pablo the Penguin'

Not only does he look wonderful on card, but he also works brilliantly on shrink plastic as earrings...

and as a bauble

The final new stamp is the beautiful Cone flower or Echinachea, firstly painted and decoupaged...

and secondly stamped onto an alcohol ink background

Whilst we are on the subject of Crafty Individuals, I would like to send a huge 'Congratulations' to my lovely friend Lynne, who was announced as a brand new member of the Crafty Individuals DT during Jean's live yesterday afternoon! I know she will make some stunnng creations and be a real asset to the team! Well Done, Lynne!

Bee Crafty Winter Journaling girls for Hochanda

 Hello there! Did you manage to Catch the Bee Crafty show on Hochanda last Tuesday? I had great fun making the samples for the Winter journaling girls stamps! Here they are...

First up was an MDF long journal with 'Cosy' on one side and 'Warm' on the other.

Next I made a card using 'Cool' and the snowflake mask background.

This is Warm over a gelli print background with a sentiment from the La Luna range and a fab pop out star

Trying to recreate the Christmas jumper patterns here with some of the smaller stamps, simply embossed in silver on an Aubergine coloured card.

This one is my favourite I think. I used a mixture of Tea Dye Distress ink, Chianti versafine clair and memento in sweet plum and desert sand. The dots are spun sugar Distress stickles and liquid pearls.

Here is 'Warm' in silver embossing powder.

Here is another single layer card with a masked off strip for the sentiment.

this was a fairly boring blue gelli print which I used as a backdrop for the snowflakes stencilled in white gesso. The pop out snowfake is painted in very shimmery paint.

Finally we have Cosy and Cool on MDF with the tree stencil and the popouts

As you can probably tell I had lots of fun with these! If you want to invest in the whole bundle that also includes the winter journaling words, you can find it here

Don't forget the fab new inkables too! They are all here
