shelley bean pages home contact monday january 24 2022 crochet covid i had all kinds of intentions of sharing something wonderful here and then life happened once again a couple weeks ago i started to feel unwell and 2 days later a test revealed i had contracted the sars cov 2 virus what fun it really hasn t been all that fun most of the symptoms are better now 2 weeks later but i can t seem to get my energy levels back to where i need them to be i guess these things can take time but i was lucky the symptoms overall were not too bad i though i would share a doll i crocheted awhile back it was a lot of work but i was determined i found the pattern on etsy and the designer was carocreated in case a search wants to be made she s sweet isn t she posted by shelley at 9 46 am 1 comment tuesday january 4 2022 hello world oh my it has been some time since i updated here at my blog my apologies i am no longer a stampin up demonstrator so needed to remove the affiliation from my links don t misunderstand i love stampin up but in all honesty i was the one supporting my demonstrator status and meeting minimum purchase requirements and did this for many years and decided i had accumulated way toooooo much stuff plus i really just wanted to blog about anything i felt like sharing whether it be stamping drawing crocheting or pictures of my dogs you know so stay tuned while i think of something to share soon i have missed you all posted by shelley at 4 38 pm no comments saturday july 28 2018 sitting here stampin up set i promised a few more cards using the sitting here stamp set from stampin up these were fun to make and i hope that you enjoy them these were all part of my participation in the pink stamper design team i am signed up for 3 more months woohoo i will have some more to share in the next few weeks i love to paint with ink using my blender pens and some ink dabbed onto an acrylic block as my palette i painted these images i think it s easy to layer the colors on and be artistic without really needing to be an artist sometimes we don t have all the other pens and paints but we have ink and this is a super easy and fun way to paint with color give it a try posted by shelley at 6 00 am 3 comments thursday july 26 2018 sitting here again as promised i have a few more projects to share with you using the fantastic stamp set from stampin up sitting here it s such a special set because even though it appears to be one of those sets with only 1 option its actually very versatile let me share another way i have used it this is a photo of my mother how i miss my mom it s always bittersweet to see the photos of her and know i can no longer talk to her when i want to but i have faith and a belief that i will again someday today i am using an old favorite mint macaron i have opted to keep a very simple color scheme of mint macaron soft suede and very vanilla mint macaron is a return color that was dropped a couple of years ago i missed it i m glad its back and available once again i opted to use the hanging bench snip off the swing and use it as a leg for a standing bench tricky right posted by shelley at 7 00 am no comments tuesday july 24 2018 sitting here sitting here is a stamp set that i showed quite some time ago but as part of the pink stamper design team i had the opportunity recently to work with it again it was so fun to pull it out and see what else i could do to make my projects a little different than i did last time here is what i came up with i had a lot of fun making this shadow box i have wanted to do a sampler for quite some time but felt a bit daunted with the task i knew that i wanted to attempt one while i was still on the design team too so decided this would be the stamp set i would do it with i hope you like it because the shadow box i placed it in is quite deep i knew i wanted to add some dimension to my project i stamped and cut out multiples of the same image and layering it with stampin dimensionals gave it that depth i was hoping for i also allowed my swing to actually be a real swing as the center focal point i added some of the new nature s twine as my swing ropes and my swing actually swings back and forth not that it needs to i once again used the garden impressions designer series papers for this project because they really are the perfect paper for this stamp set i plan on gifting this to a friend that will be retiring next week i am going to miss her a lot at work and hope that when she looks at this she will remember me kindly i have some more projects to share from this stamp set and will post them later this week please come back to visit posted by shelley at 6 54 pm 1 comment thursday april 26 2018 southern serenade card variations using the southern serenade stamp set from stampin up once again i wanted to share some variations with the same stamps used in similar ways but different colors and schemes since we are not able to purchase stampin blends until the new catalog comes out i decided to go old school on my coloring technique this time using the inside of the stamp case or even an acrylic block as a palette you can add some ink and blend it around with a basic blender pen as a paint brush and color your images this is the technique i opted for today it s wise to work in light layers and then you can build the intensity of the colors to emphasize shading where you want it using the same technique but in blue i did the same with this card it reminds me of forget me nots i like the way these turned out what do you think posted by shelley at 6 27 am 1 comment tuesday april 24 2018 southern serenade birthday treat bag i wanted to share a fun little treat bag i made with mini treat bag thinlits these are retiring soon and i will miss them because they make the most adorable treat bag i also used the southern serenade stamp set from stampin up a little tip was using the brusho crystal colors to color the white shred as a way to bring the colors all together in my palette i created this gift bag as part of my showcase for the pink stampers design team for april the stamp set is of course southern serenade and i will share a few other projects using this set in the next few days posted by shelley at 6 24 am no comments monday april 2 2018 paper pumpkin save 50 now is the perfect time to sign up for paper

bration and my last waterfront post finally i wanted to share the last project i made with this very versatile stamp set waterfront love it but before i get into that i wanted to remind everyone that the clock is ticking away on this the very last day of 2018 sale a bration for stampin up so many wonderful perks are still available free stamp sets and items are there for the taking don t miss out read to the bottom for all the details i knew that i wanted to make something that wasn t a card and wasn t a scrapbook layout but my mind went blank when it came to something 3 d with this stamp set it seemed like something that needs to be more like artwork but couldn t envision that on a treat box etc so i opted for something semi permanent or at least something that wouldn t be discarded after 1 use a desk calendar seemed like a good option with the year already 3 months in i hesitated but decided why not here is how i created my calendar simply create a basic a2 card then to make the stand cut another piece of cardstock at 4 24 x 5 scoring at 1 2 5 and 4 all along the 5 side simply attach the 1 flaps to the inside of the card base and you have the easel this was another use of the brusho crystal colors once again i liberally sprinkled the brusho directly onto my mountain stamp and this time i really applied the water liberally on my paper i laid the paper directly down onto the mountain stamp instead of the stamp onto the paper this kept more control over the crystals so they wouldn t fly everywhere and bleed in the water i smoothed the paper over the top and pulled it away it made this lovely blurry image that i moved around a little bit with my aqua painter i blotted a little with tissue as needed so the image didn t get too our of control i did the same application with the trees being careful to keep them straight and where i wanted them i knew simplicity would be important and just let the brusho do it s think by guiding it around with my aqua painter i actually picked up residual crystals off of the stamp with my aqua painter and made my sky and added the nice blurry ambient surroundings it reminded me of the misty wet mountains of my childhood on the oregon coast if you haven t played with brusho yet i recommend you do i am so in love with this product and have my fingers crossed tightly they will carry it over in our new catalog this year i used prussian blue brusho for the trees moss green for the mountains this has multi colored ink crystals from browns greens and even a little purple tiny sprinkle of camboge for the pinky look in the

comment friday march 30 2018 waterfront stamp set and again i think this is my favorite card made with the waterfront stamp set i wanted to do another basic landscape but wanted it to look like the mountains i see over here in the western united states the mountain peaks in this stamp set can give this option if you change the orientation of the mountain stamp and only ink it about 1 2 way up by turning the the stamp about 85 degrees and stamping across you have granite mountains it s pretty awesome right i stamped them first in basic gray and then went over that again in black to give some definition i then sponged on some white craft ink to give a misty foggy effect that would lay against the mountains i made sure that was very dry before i started to layer my trees here is a tip to get the taller trees don t ink the tree stumps only the branches this way you can layer down to make a much taller tree by repeating the same image over and over again also stamp off the sides and bottom of your card so there are no tree stumps and layer the colors from light to dark i used pear pizzazz and always artichoke and then a few extra layers here and there in basic black to get that added depth to my forest the sky was sponged in marina mist and dapper denim with a layer of stars over the darker side made with the white craft ink it s sale a bration time sale a bration is one of
