Honey Bee Bundle

Welcome to my blog. Today I’m sharing a card I made using the Honey Bee bundle from the new Mini Catalog. Cute stamp set with nice sentiments.This is a simple card that uses the stamps and dies.
Materials and Directions:
1. Card base is 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 using Blushing Bride cardstock
2. The layering piece is a 3x 5-1/2 piece of Best Dressed DSP. If you don’t have this you can use one of your choice or buy on my website.
3. I cut an oval out of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the image.

This is how I lined stamps on oval.

Distressed  the edges in Rococo Rose. I colored the flower using Rococo Rose Stampin blend marker. I adhered using dimensionals.
4. I stamped and die cut the bee out of a Whisper White scrap. I colored the wings using Seaside Spray Stampin Blend marker. I colored the body using Daffodils Delight Stampin Blend marker.
 I adhered to card as shown. I stamped the sentiment as shown.
5. Inside of card is a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3-3/4 x 5. I stamped the smaller Bee in the corner.

Peace Moments bundle/ joining Stampin Up

Welcome to my blog. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Started a new year of agility trials Sunday. It was cold but fun. I have another card using poppies. I really love the suite and I can’t stop playing with it. This time I used the dies from the Peaceful Moments bundle to make the card. If you have a die cutting machine this a simple card to make.

Materials and Directions:
1. Card base is Whisper White 4-1/4 x 5-1/2
2. I used Lily Impression DSP that I got free from Sale A Bration for the solid piece and Poppy Parade for the outline. For the leaves I used Perennial Essence DSP. I then adhered everything to the
card base.

Here is another I made using Perennial Essence DSP for the base and Flirty Flamingo for the outline.

Peaceful Moments bundle

Welcome to my blog. Yesterday I shared Peaceful Poppies bundle and DSP. Today I have a card using Peaceful Moments. Both of these bundles are part of the Peaceful Poppies Suite in the New Mini Catalog. I loved everything in the suite so I bought it( I usually  don’t buy the whole suite).

You don’t have to purchase all but can buy the parts you want. On to the card. This bundle has a stamp set of sentiments and a die set.

I used both to make this simple card.

The card base is Whisper White 5-1/2 x 4-1/4.
The layer is a piece of Seaside Spray 5-1/4 x4. I die cut as in photo. The second layer is a piece of Lily Impression DSP I earned from the Sale a Bration was. I then used a piece of the Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon around the middle. I then glued the layer to the card base.
Last using the smaller flower die I cut one out of Whisper White. I stamped the sentiment and used dimensionals to adhere to the front. I used some of the sequins from the suite to put on the flowers.
