Hi Everyone it's Beck BT here and I'm sharing with you a sweet card I made with lots of pretty Bella!

I'm still loving the stitching look and today I wanted to incorporate some sewing machine stitching to my card.

Products Used:

Bella!  True Romantic Paperz - Wave
Bella!  True Romantic Paperz - Lovehearts
Franchville Card and Envelope pack - Colour 50 pk
Fundamentals Sentiments pack
Fundamentals Doily pack
Fundamentals Butterflies Spring Pack
Blue Twine

I thought I would take you through how I created my card today.

I started out with cutting some large strips from the pattern papers


Next I took a piece of white card stock and ran a line of glue down the centre and around the edge avoiding where I would be adding the stitching holes around the edges.  


I then adhered the strips in the desired order to the cardstock. 

After trimming the piece to the desired size (just a little smaller than the blue card base) I added some zig zag stitching to the joins of the different patterns.  


I didn't want more actual stitching but instead decided on stitching holes around the eges.  I simply removed the cotton from the needle on the sewing machine to achieve this.


To finish my card I adhered the above piece to a blue card base and then embellished with a doily, some blue butterflies in various patterns, a blue twine bow and my sentiment.

Here are a few more pics so you can get up close to it.




I love how the card came and I hope to brighten someones day with it real soon!

I hope you enjoyed my share today.

Happy Crafting!



Scrapbooking a journey - the first of many

Hi Everyone, It's Beck Beattie here with a share today.  I've decided to create a layout for my share today and it is one that is very fitting to me at the moment.  Having taken up running I decided to create my first scrapbook page about it.  Here it is!


I added a little grung in my page today simply because, well running isn't all roses, it is tough work and you have to grit your teeth to get through at times, but I love it and it makes me happy so I figured the team up of pretty and grunge works perfectly on my page!



I really love how my page came together teaming up the two... pretty and grunge.  Check out my tutorial showing how my page came together. 

First I started out by spraying a little of the Jeni B Bleu Vibes spray to a little plastic.  I then used this plastic to transfer the colour to my page.  Pressing it down for a mottled watercolour effect.


 Next I sprayed a little of the Before Dawn Vibes spray to a little plastic, repeating the process.  I also removed the spray nozzle from the bottle and used the pipe to add a little splatter of the same colour for a little more of a grungy feel.



 I then took the Gummy Berry Blue Dazzlers paste and added a little stencilling to my backgroung as well.  These teamed up with the sweet Bella! Papers made the perfect base for my scrapbook page.


 Here are more pictures for you to enjoy!

Yummy glittery goodness


Hi Everyone it's Beck BT here again and today I decided to team up some glittery goodness with my dies for a sweet effect.  I've also thrown in some of the fun Fundamentals embellishments as they are too sweet for words!


Products Used:

Bella! Glitter cardstock in White
Franchville Card and Envelope pack
Fundamentals Sentiments
Fundamentals ribbon bows

I thought I would take you through the process of creating my card today.

To start I added a little gesso to the pink card base with my finger.


I also die cut 3 of these vine circles from the white glitter cardstock.  It die cuts so well and is a really neat way to use glitter cardstock as it adds the most beautiful accent to your projects in this way.  It is probably my favourite way to use glitter cardstock!


Next I took some die cut leaves and gave them a coat of my Shimmerz Creameez paint in Green Acres and allowed them to dry.


I also added some Shimmerz Creameez to my background by splattering and then softening the splatter with a pice of plastic.  


I also added a little green splatter to the background in the same colour Creameez added to the leaves.


I didn't want such a large sentiment for this card so I decided to cut the sentiment strip up and add it in two parts to finish my card.




Hope you enjoyed my share today with a touch of Glitter!

Happy Crafting!
