Hexagon Hive Bee Card

Hello Everyone,

I am so glad I haven't parted with my Backyard Basics bundle yet.  I have been asked to make some Bee cards for a local store who are stocking my cards.  Apparently Bees are in and I didn't have much else in the way of bees excedpt for a tiny little one in Collage Curios.  Backyard Basics bee is going to come in very handy, if these bee Cards are popular.  Here is the first one I've made.




I've combined my bee with the Hexagon Hive framelits for the cool Hex background effect, cut out of Basic Gray card and layered over some Daffodil delight card with a Naturals white base.  The Patterned paper here used is from the pack Eastern Elegance and the greeting comes from the Perfect Pennants set.  Here is the full view of the card.


I've used some Kindy Glitz on the wings of my bee.  It's photographed a little bit pink.  Trust me, they aren't pink in real life.  As of the morning the card is actually stocked in the store.  I delivered my first batch of cards for all occasions this morning.

    Nice card.
    If you have Sale-a-bration Sweet summer from a few years ago there is a small bee in that set too.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
