Hi, I have one more card using the new Sunshine and Bee Designs release.  I love how easy the Winter Poinsettia stamp is to colour and cut out.  I heat embossed the poinsettia with white embossing and used some Distress Inks to watercolour.  I used Aged Mahogany for all the leaves/petals and Wild Honey for the centers. The background is Iced Spruce Distress Ink and Evergreen Bough Distress Ink. I inked up different areas of the Love Notes background stamp … Read More

Hi, the last stamp in this release by Sunshine and Bee Designs is Winter Poinsettia.  Winter Poinsettia is a group of three poinsettia’s (with the correct number of leaves – I don’t think the gardeners in my family would forgive me if they didn’t).  I have a short video for the making of this card HERE. This was a quick card to make. I started by stamping the poinsettia in the top half of the card, then rotated it to … Read More

This is a beautiful stamp set by Sunshine and Bee Designs.  Jeni knows I absolutely love robins so she made this stamp set with me in mind. You can see the process video of this card HERE. I used two of the robins and made up the sentiment using the various words in this stamp set. Using Mowed Lawn Distress Oxides I put some ink onto my mat, sprayed a little water over it and smooshed the watercolour panel into it … Read More

I think the sleepy foxes in the Woodland Fox stamp set by Sunshine and Bee Designs will put a smile on anyones face, especially if you are not feeling very well and makes a great Get Well Soon card. This sleepy foxes card was made using a watercolour card panel measuring 11 x 14cm. This background is from my “box of backgrounds” I used water based inks to blend all over this panel, (an orange at the top half of the … Read More

Hi, welcome to Sunshine and Bee Designs. Milly and I have been working hard over the last couple months to bring our first range of clear stamps to life.

Our stamps are made with high quality photopolymer in the UK and are 4×6 in size (A6 sized). The stamps are high clarity shiny stamps … Read More

Have you tried inking up a galaxy background? I hadn’t given it a go yet – til now! Cover a panel of card in patches of ink in a range of colours – yellow, purple, pink and aqua. Any kind goes, I used mostly Distress Oxides, one Catherine Pooler dye ink and a generic pink pigment ink. Smoosh and blend til you’ve got no white space left. Let them mix as much or as little as you like. Only parts … Read More

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Laura on the blog with you today, and I’ve got three, one-layer cards featuring Distress-blended sunsets with silhouette images to set off the tropical scene. I used Catherine Pooler Designs (CPD) stamps from the Tropically Yours Collection and I am totally stoked (see what I did there?) with the beachy-retro, 80’s vibe this trio of cards gives. As usual, lots to cover today, so let’s get started! First, I got to work creating my backgrounds. I … Read More
