Hello everyone! Anne here! I want to say a big thank you to our sponsors at Bugaboo Stamps for the great digital stamps they have sponsored us with.

I really love this little ewe and I really enjoyed making my card with her . What a cutie!!!

I took a 15cm x 15cm card blank . I cut out 3  different size squares in 3 shades of yellow . I added 2 to the front with adhesive foam squares. I printed the "wishing ewe" sentiment in the last square and added it to the card front which I then spritzer in sparkle spray . When that was dry I added the nuvo enamel drops.

While that was crying I cut out my little ewe and watercolour painted her . When she was dry I spritzer her skirt and wings with sparkle spray . When she was dry I gold embossed her wand with WOW gold embossing powder. 

While she was cooking down I then cut a piece of acetate 15cm x30cm . I scored it at 15cm turned the acetate over and scored it a 7.5 cm and again at 22.5 cm. Which have me a mountain good and 2 valley folds . I then added this to the inside of the card to make a pop up centre. Either side of the mountain I added some yellow card 7.5 x 15 . I then added a smaller piece ether side wich I had stamped more sentiments . Once I had double sided taped everything in place I added the ewe to one side of the acetate . To the other side I added a cut out of the ewes wand, Which i also gold embossed.

The acetate I used has falling stars all over it and I though it would add To the magic of little ewes a wand and the magic of the card sentiment . I think this card could be used for a wedding card or an anniversary card . Thank you again Bugaboo I do enjoyed this card and really look forward to using more of your stamps!!! 

Thank you so much for looking and don't forget a prize can have on for the best comment on the lady beans blogs 🌈

Wishing Ewe.....

Hey hey hey…..Helle of My Creative Hideout here with a little wooly project that fits all kinds of celebrations.

The digi stamp I used this time, is sponsored by:

With Mother's Day coming up and lots of Birthdays etc. I thought it fitting to make a little box that can hold a chocolate bar. Who doesn't love to receive chocolate?

My choice fell on the 3D Mummy Candy Box designed by Jamie Cripps (Silhouette Design Store design ID #68840) but only the box itself, so I stripped it of all the unnecessary parts and added a

panel with the darling digi stamp Wishing Ewe.

The background on the panel is also one I found in the Silhouette Design Store design ID #22287 by Rivka Wilkins.

I colored in the stamp with Promarkers along with a grey Sharpie, a glittery Gelly Roll and a white Sharpie for the eye highlights.

I also added a few enamels dots for a little something extra.

Then I put the chocolate bare inside…..

….and it's ready to be given away to someone special.

Thanks for joining me today

Wishing Ewe a Great Day!

Wishing Ewe

Hello, this is Jacqueline with the Lady Beans. I just love this little ewe. She is a star! Wishing Ewe is by Bugaboo Stamps.

I created a 6x6 card. I love using alcohol markers to color. I decided to use my Blick Studio Markers for this stamp. I like to show that you can blend and shade with the different brands of alcohol markers. You can even mix them together.

The sentiment that comes with this stamp is "Wishing Ewe", which is just perfect. I did decide to use a different sentiment for my card this time. Wishing Ewe reminds me of a Fairy Godmother granting wishes. Wouldn't that be nice?

Blick Studio Markers:

Hair = Camel, Walnut, and Dark Umber
Face - Camel, Tan, and Shell
Skirt - Pink, and Very Berry
Fur - Coral Peach, Rose Petal, and Peach Blush
Wings - Canary Yellow and Light Periwinkle
Wand  and Shoes- Purple and Lilac
Tights - Pink and Coral Pink
I outline the image with Warm Gray 10% and Warm Gray 20%

Our blessed month of Ramadan is coming in 5 days.  I cannot wait. I had to make a Ramadan wish card. These roses from Annie Collins were the best to display my sentiment from Altenew.  I colored using Stampin Up's Stampin Blends Markers. Everyone knows that Salima cannot live without bling.  The Roses have glitter on them to give them a little pop.  The image was cut out by my Scan N Cut and then layered on Basic Black card stock and printed card stock. The sentiment is from Altenew wishing the receiver "May This Ramadan Be Your Best Ever" stamped on a label with a gold outline and embossed in Gilded Embossing Powder from Brutus Monroe.  Gold sequins finish off this card. 

Hello Everyone!

I really enjoyed working with these beautiful floral images. The different arrangements meshed well together to create a beautiful bouquet of flowers, perfect for adding to a simple but elegant Mother's Day card.

For the front of the card I printed the images in two different sizes so that I could mix them together while adding a little extra depth and dimension. I used Photoshop to print out the sentiment onto a 5x5 card front and then popped the floral arrangement up using foam dots. Finally I added a link extra embellishment by using Stickles to hand place a few mini hearts and decorative lines.

For the inside of the card I simply placed one of the larger images on the inside corner of the card and added a stamped sentiment using Lovely Lipstick from the StampinUp ink pad collection.

Copic Colors:
     Water in Vases: B000, BG10, BG000.
      Middle of Sunflowers: E25, E59.
      Floral Leaves: G17, YG06.
      Sunflowers: YR68, Y08.
      Flowers: RV34, RV11, V05, V09, V06.
      Coffee Cup: W0, W2, W4

Tri-fold Card

Greetings crafty friends,

Today I used the triple flower arrangement image by Annie Collins to create this tri-fold card. I used a 12x12 sheet of purple craft paper and patterned paper from my stash.

Have a beautiful, safe, and healthy day.

Hello Again!!!! This card was made using the beautiful Roses designed by our Annie Collins.
I love this design and will be using it again and again.
Stay safe everyone!!!!

So Very Sorry

I could not resist. I had to make another card. These tulips are just so beautifully designed by our very own Annie Collins. Even though this is a sympathy card, the bright tulips on the blue background make it bright and cheery.  Tulips were colored by Stampin Up Stampin Blends.  Pool Party card stock layered on to matching designer series paper.  Tulips were embossed with gold embossing powder as well as the sentiment So Very Sorry.  Bling is Salima's middle name.. Added 5 gold sequins to finish the card 

Mom's Day!

Hello everyone! I am back! I took a little hiatus.  As you all know, Mom's day is on the horizon.  The tulips were are a special image from Anne Ingram. I printed them and had my Scan N Cut do the work of cutting the images out.  The tulips were colored with my Stampin Up Stampin Blends Markers. Mom stamp is from the stamp set Mom's Clematis from Simon Says Stamps.  The background is designer series paper from Stampin Up and the bees are from Stampin Up's Paper Pumpkin from January 2020 "I'll Bee Yours".  Of course Salima has to bling, so I added a little embossing powder Brutus Monroe called Spring Sparkle and a little bling to the head of the bees.  Hope you enjoy this beautiful card

Happy Easter from the Lady Beans!

This is Jacqueline and I am excited to share my Easter project with you. I used the egg stamp created by our very talented Annie Collins. This was such a fun card to create. This stamp would be ideal to use to create a tag or put on a gift bag. I can think of many projects that you could use this stamp on.

You can purchase this image from The Multi Crafters Cafe. cafe.  This image, along with many other are included in the album "The Coffee Bean Stamp Machine.

This time of year, we are reminded how wonderful life is and that summer will soon be here. I think that this adorable image is a great reminder that life is indeed good!

I created a 6x6 card. I used paper from my stash. I wanted to highlight the beautiful eggs, so I used a robin blue paper behind the two eggs. I propped one egg up. I did use an organza ribbon and two sweet sentiments.

I colored this image with my hodge podge of Spectrum Noir markers:

Background of the eggs - OR1
Leaves - AG1 and AG2
Sunflower - CT1, CT 3, and GB5
Small flowers - PV2
Rabbit - BG2, BG3, BG4, AND IG6 with a touch of CR3 in the ears

To add dimension of put more than one layer of OR1 around the edge of the egg and outline the flower and the rabbit. Shading adds dimension - so don't be afraid to shade and highlight!

Until next time, take care and Happy Easter to you!

Annie collins! You have inspired me

I have had a wonderful time with this image drawn and designed by our very own Annie collins one of our original lady beans. 

I started with the above digital file. I printed off several of the files and cut them all out . I wasn't sure what I wanted to do but got very struck with the idea of printing the image onto some vellum. I decided to quill, using 3mm assorted colour quilling paper so I made lots of leaves and a large red flower . I then coloured the bunny and quilled him a tale in white. I added all the leaves and the red flower with pva glue. I then made 2 black card surrounds on my brother machine by cutting out 4 larger egg shapes and then cutting the centre's in a slightly smaller than the image in an egg shape. I then glued the images inside the black card and decided to use these as Easter window decorations. When held to the light you can see all the shapes in the quilling making great patterns.

       I am really pleased how they both turned out

Really inspired by both the images and the quilling I decided to make 2 Easter cards . These where done pretty much the same as the window decorations. Instead of vellum I used card . I doubled up a large piece of card and cut out an egg shape with a flat bottom, keeping the card joined at the top .

I backed both hand cut card blanks with pink and yellow paper. I quilled a yellow flower and coloured in the leaves . I then cut out the bunny and coloured him in. 

Using sticky pads I stuck it to the bunny image making him more 3D . I then coloured in the leaves . I made 2 happy Easter banners on my laptop and printed then out on vellum . I added the banners and images to the backed card added nuvo drops to the flower buds and once they where dry sprayed both card with glitter spray.

I was still inspired to make more so I decided to try my hand at a shaker card. I first cut out 2 egg shapes as above on my brother machine in card . I then cut out 2 acetate eggs larger than the middle. I added some Easter mini cut outs to the centre of the acetate and sealed the acetate inside the card egg shapes . I coloured the image and stuck it onto the back of the acetate. I then cut out another egg shaped card blank and added the image to the card. I cut out a glittered surround which I glued around the image and added a banner slightly off set.

 

I am really happy how all of my projects turned out. 

you can purchase these wonderful images on the Multi Crafters Craft Cafe . Just look in the album's and you will find lots of other images done by Annie Collins and our other resident Artist Judy Markowitz. Thank you so much for looking. Stay safe and keep crafting!!! 

Tissue Cover

This month's lovely floral arrangements by Annie Collins inspired me to create a this tissue box cover. I used a sheet of paper from my stash and colored in the arrangements with colored pencils (no particular brand).

I hope you enjoy and Happy Easter to all. Stay safe and healthy!

INSTRUCTIONS:

BOX SIDE: Cut two (2) pcs of patterned cardstock at 5-1/4” x 9-3/4”, score at 1/2” and at 5-1/8” on the 9-3/4” side
BOX TOP: Cut one (1) pc of patterned card stock at 5-5/8” x 5-5/8”, score at 1/2” on all four (4) sides
BOX TOP REINFORCEMENT: Cut one (1) pc of medium weight chipboard at 5-3/8” x 5-3/8”

Cut an oval shape out of the center of the box top and the box top reinforcement. Attach the reinforcement to the back side of the box top making sure to line up the oval cutouts. There should be a 1/8” border between the chipboard and score lines.
Fold all four (4) sides of the box top on the score lines, then cut the four (4) corners off.
Fold on the score lines of the two (2) box side pieces.

ASSEMBLY:
Attach the two (2) side pieces together by adhering the 1/2” scores to the unscored edge of the next piece to form a square.
Attach the box lid to the box sides by placing glue on the 1/2” folds and adhering to the top of the box sides. Do not use score tape because you need to be able to get the lid on and maneuver it to fit properly.

Decorate the tissue box however you like. I used some bling strips (bought from a local dollar store) around the top outside edge of the box. I then colored and fussy cut the flower arrangements by Annie Collins. I adhered the arrangements to the sides of the box using foam strips.

These would make great gifts. They are quick and easy and each one can be unique depending upon the paper and decorations used.

Hanging Easter Eggs

Next week Easter begins and usually I decorate a bit for the Holiday but this year I can't find my stuff after the move. So I figured I would make a thing or two this year.

My DT assignment this time was these two Easter Eggs made by Annie Collins (these are available for purchase via Anne Ingram in The Multi Crafters Craft Cafe Albums) :

I printed two sets out and colored them in with my Promarkers and then used the Print 'n Cut setting on my Silhouette Cameo, to cut them out. 

Then I made an offset of the eggs and cut out two of each in AC Cardstock.

I found two cute Egg Doilies in the Silhouette Design Store design ID # 40140 designed by Megan Hardy and cut both out of Pearl Paper in pastel colors matching those of the offset cutouts.

Finally I glued the digi stamps onto the offset cutouts and glued one on each side of the Egg Doilies and voila....two new hanging Easter Eggs.

One in pastel purple/pink:

And the other in Pastel blue/Ocean Blue:

 These are pretty big but it's very easy to downsize them so they could hang from a branch in your Easter Decoration.

Thanks for joining me today - please let me know in a comment if you liked this project.
I hope you'll have a Happy Easter and remember to stay safe.
