Bee Happy!



Hi, Friends!

Just popping in quick to share with you a thank you card I made for my hair stylist, Candy!  She is quite the busy gal.  She keeps busy with hair appointments, and she also has a bee farm!  She gave us the bottle of honey recently when we were in to see her.  The honey is so smooth, light, and yummy!  I enjoy putting the honey on my oatmeal in the mornings!  I'm sure the honey would be delicious on homemade biscuits, too!

For my card, I started with a cream colored base and paired it with MME paper.  The background was made with an embossing folder from Paper Studio.  The bee images, sentiment, and leaves are from Paper Sweeties, which are from the set Bee Happy.  The flowers are from the set Pretty Posies.  Sequins(Cookie Dough) and twine to finish the card.

It's perfect weather today besides being a bit windy.  I feel fall in the air with the cool mornings and evenings.  It's hard to believe how summer has flown by.  But, I am enjoying these wonderful picture perfect days!

Paper Sweeties August 16, 2019-Release Rewind!





Welcome to Paper Sweeties Release Rewind!  Today is the day that we highlight the newly released stamp sets along with previously released stamp sets for our projects.  The new stamp sets this month are Cupcakes and Sprinkles and Best Ever  And, coordinating die set Sweet Cuts-Cupcakes and Sprinkles.  Today, I am sharing a card using the set Cupcakes and Sprinkles and a previously released set Basket Add-on: Thinking of you.




For my card, I started with a white card base.  The panel behind the cupcakes was made using the "smoosh" technique on photo paper.  The inks that I used are broken china, picked raspberry, and seedless preserves.  The flowers were stamped onto the same paper.  And, the same flower images were stamped and colored in soft pink with copic markers.  Robin Egg sequins added for interest.  The flowers are from the set Basket Add-on: Thinking of you.  Raspberry ribbon placed for the final touch.

Paper Sweeties August 15, 2019-Release Party!






Welcome to Paper Sweeties Release Party!  Today is the day to purchase the two new stamp/die sets, Cupcakes and Sprinkles and Best Ever!

Today, I am highlighting both of the new sets!  Another yummy cupcake, but in yellow and orange.





For my card, I started with a yellow card base and paired it with orange.  The next panel was make using BoBunny paper.  The background behind the cupcake was made using distress inks of mustard seed, spiced marmalade, and abandoned coral on photo paper using the "smoosh" technique.  I just love the color and shine with the pretty colors!  The scallop frame was die cut using the set Sweet Cuts-Oval Scallop Frames.  The ribbon and sequins for the finishing touch are from Paper Sweeties, also.

The sentiment is from the set Basket Add on: Thinking of you.  And, the scalloped border at the top of the card was die cut using the set Sweet Cuts-Sweet Borders.

Dies R Us Challenge August 15,2019! (Sports)




Hi, Friends!

Welcome to the Dies R Us Challenge once again for August!  The theme is Sports!

I'm getting quite a collection of Sue Wilson dies...love them!  The sport dies I used today have a wonderful sentiment and several sport dies such as soccer, tennis, football, and golf...so fun!  I have a great niece who plays soccer, so this card will go to her for her birthday.






For my card, I started with a white card base and paired it with green.  I added two panels using Doodlebug paper.  I used the mesh die behind the soccer field.  The ball was die cut and colored with black.  The grass die is from Frantic Stamper.  Twine to finish the card.


 All dies that were used for my card with links are listed below.  I hope you create a project using dies and join us for the challenge!




 There are so many choices at Dies R Us store!  Hope you check out the store for  amazing selection of dies, stamps, papers, inks, etc.!  I'd love to see your project in the challenge...happy creating!

Would you like more inspiration?  Check out some amazing creations from my talented teammates!
