Leave a little sparkle card with Two Paper Divas

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my second blog post made for Two Paper Divas.
This time I made a fancy Summer card using TPD Vintage Bike stamp set for the main image that was colored and hand cut and using Yes to Sprinkles 2 stamp set as the sentiment image.
And yes, I made a little sparkle under the bike as the sentiment says!
Paper used are all DCWV and the  circled die cut  was made with Die Versions die.

You make my life colorful Mixed Media card with Honey Bee Stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here again. Yes, this month you will  see me quite a lot in the Honey Bee Stamps blog ...
This time I decided to share my simple and yet totally Mixed Media card.
I didn't make the tutorial, but I am going to give you the steps to make this card if you like it and want to try something similar.
First I stamped the sentiment using Honey Bee Stamps Color my World set and made the whole sentiment.
I stamped with clear embossing ink and heat embossed it with black powder.
Being more than 4 years on a design team for embossing powders manufacturer made me a kind of " heat emboss everything" crafter, but then it's so easy to colors inside those heat embossed lines!
So I colored the bold letters with all possible rainbow colors using my beloved Zig Real Color brushes.
Then I  punched a circle of scrap paper and made a mask over the stamped sentiment.
I used Memory Box stencil that was arranged over the card and clear embossing ink over the stencil.
The next step was to add 7 embossing powders over the stencilled area and to heat emboss them.

The powders were very different and you can see that some are more solid and some are kind of grainy, but this is what Mixed Media is all about. It shouldn't be perfect. It should be artistic.So why not to add some golden mist over it? So I did  using Tattered Angels Marigold glimmer mist.

The last part was to die cut the copper cardstock circle using dies and DCWV copper paper and the add it over the sentiment.

The basic card was die cut from the same copper cardstock and I added just a few rhinestones over this card.

I really hope that you like my almost CAS Mixed Media card and if you like my projects please visit my Instagram account @iritshalom2000 and become my follower.

I will be posting more Honey Bee projects there every second week.

You are so SPECIAL card

 New card - masculine style. Made for print and was there already. Now I can publish it in my blog and maybe to enter to some web challenges.

Mixed Media tag

Just a new Mixed Media tag made for .... nothing, maybe for some web challenges.

I used VLVS stamps, lots of stencils, Tattered Angels mists and paints and some old stickers that I think are from Fancy Pants, but I am not so sure.

I love the saying here that says : When you don't know what to do, paint!

Art. Do it!

Celebrate the little things magnet

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my small new project post.
This is a magnet made for two of my DT companies and how glad I am that I can combine two so different  designs  into one lovely small project.
So as you can see it's Makin's Clay stamped and paper covered project and the stamps, inks  and this lovely funky paper house are from Susan K. Weckesser. 
Just a quick  explanation about this project- no tutorial actually needed as it's fun and easy and everyone can do it.
First I made a mix of Makin's Clay Plum vine clay from Vineyard clay set and got this light puprle color that was great for my project.
Then I cut the flower shape with Makin's Clay new big Flower cutter (the second largest one).
Then I glued the paper cut house from Susan K. Weckesser Live in color tags cardstock with liquid glass from DecoArt.
While the liquid glass was drying I made those Makin's Clay leaves with green clay and my own hands- those leaves are not  molds!
I molded the small bird from white clay and then I painted the bird with Susan K. Weckesser new Clearsnap Color  Pop Premium Dye ink- Fresh and Ice colors of them. I also added some green ink over the leaves as the green color was too mute.
Then I stamped the Susan K. Weckesser sentiment into the wet clay to say " Celebrate the simple things". This sentiment is a part of Unity Celebration of Simple stamp set and this is one long sentiment. But working over clay makes the cutting of the sentiment a piece of cake. So I made 4 pieces of the sentiment and then covered them with new Clearsnap Color Pop white pigmented ink.
I covered the flower clay edges with the same ink as well.
After the clay pieces were totally dry I glued them with Beacon Adhesive  glue and added a few beads to make a kind of berries.
 Then the whole piece was covered with liquid glaze all over.
And yes-I do celebrate some simple things here:  our home, nature and my new simple project!

Sing as no one is watching art board

Something I made just because I love this Visible Image stamp a lot.
I used a mix of other companies stamps to make the sentiment (Rubber Dance, Sprinkle n' Sparkle) and added the stencilled circles using Tando stencil.I made my own sentiment and it's not about dancing, but singing and singing Blues when you are in this blue mood.
Painted and misted with a mix of Tattered Angels.
I enter this to SSS Red, white , blue colors- one or more, so here are my blue and white.

Happy Everything art page with Honey Bee Stamps

 Hello my dear crafty friends ! Irit is here and I welcome  you to my very first post as a Design team member of Honey Bee stamps.
As most of you most probably know I am more a Mixed Media artist than a card maker, so I decided to show you how Honey Bee Stamps can be used for Mixed Media projects. I will craft some cards too, but with a touch of Mixed Media mostly in the future.
So today  I am going to shoe you the art journal single page made with just a few products.
All you need to make the similar page is a piece of good thick white cardstock from any company, one single Tando Creative stencil, DecoArt texture paste and ColorArte Silk Acrylics paints and .... Yes, our gorgeous Honey Bee  stamps:
Happy Everything set and Color My Word set.
This is not a tutorial post, but I  will tell you  briefly how I made this piece.
First I used the stencil with texture paste and made all textured images over the white cardstock.
Then, when the paste was dry, I added paints and mist to get those summery green, blue and yellow colors over the whole stencilled images.
I kept a few areas without texture to stamp later over them.
Let's say that the Silk Acrylics are fantastic as paints, but terrible as the stamping background. The gel medium inside them makes the good stamping almost impossible. So this was a time to use my Misti maybe for the very first time and to stamp the Happy Moments and Happy Everything  from Happy Everything set over and over with black permanent ink.

But finally the stamping was good for the Mixed Media page. Not very crispy, but sufficient.

I added stamped flowers using Color My Word set  on the " white" areas that sure were green...

To make the flower pop I added white acrylic around and over the images and added some of the paint over the textured images too.

As you can see this is a real art page: flat, made with a lot of mediums and no " add- ons" at all.
And it's a great example for you to see how Honey Bee stamps can be used on Mixed Media projects.
Just grab some of them and make your own art journals with your own mix of colors, textures and sentiments.
