Floral Happiness S1303!

   

If you've just arrived here from HELEN'S BLOG then you are on the correct path.

 First, I'm sharing a standard-size card (above) featuring the Buzz and Bumble papers X7164B. Ink colors I used include Cocoa, Creme Brulee, Slate, and Sweet Leaf. On this card that the only images used from the Stamp of the Month set are the small flower and leaves. I also used the Quick Cards - Bumble Bee stamp set A1135 as well a scroll design stamp from the Buzz and Bumble WOTG kit G1054. I also used our NEW Glitter Paper (Brown & Tan Z1830) to add a strip of glitz as well as a few Sparkles from the Brown & Tan assortment pack Z1753.

 Next, I'm sharing a card featuring more of the stamp images in the Floral Happiness set S1303 (above) and the For Always papers X7165B. Ink colors I used are Black, 1st and 2nd generation Lagoon, and 1st and 2nd generation Slate. I also used a little bit if our NEW Slate Polka-Dot Washi tape Z1817 - so fun and easy to use!! To re-create, White Daisy cardstock measures 3.5" square, chevron paper measures 1.25" x 4.25".

Finally, here are all of the images (below) that come in this lovely stamp set. You can purchase it at full price ($17.95) or for JUST $5 with any $50 or more purchase anytime during March 2013 only!

"Bee Yourself" Card for Mojo Monday 238!

 

Today I created this standard-size card inspired by the Mojo Monday 238 sketch challenge blog. My card features products that are all available from Close to my Heart including the Bee Happy B1374 stamp set with the "Dotty For You" papers (the "Bee Yourself" sentiment is from a past petite perks incentive set W2017). I wrapped my card with Seam Binding Ribbon and then tied my tag onto the ribbon with grey wool Baker's Twine. All stamping is done with black ink, sponge-daubed distressing is done with grey wool ink, and I colored the bee image with buttercup, garden green, and grey flannel markers. Such a fun sketch to try...I really enjoyed this one and can promise you that I'll be using it again soon!!
