Honey Bees

Posted on March 29, 2024 10:15 PM by Julie Comment

A sweet as honey card with 2 cute little bumblebees, some flowers and backed up with some new paper. Perfect for a birthday, Mother’s Day or just because.

We are visiting Mackenzie Myrick & their Pinterest Board for the Inspiration Challenge (IC956) this week. I was inspired by THIS picture. I liked the bee & flower but I colored mine in instead of just black & white. I just love these cute, plump little bees! Their expressions are so fun.

After coloring & die cutting the bees & flowers, I stamped the greeting in the upper right corner & used an inset die of honeycombs to cut the lower left corner. The flowers were stuck inside the cut outs before being attached to a piece of bee themed designer paper. The bees were attached as shown,

Here are the Copics I used:

Wonderful Day Oval

Posted on March 23, 2024 10:07 PM by Julie 2 Comments

A clean & simple card that’s easy to make and easy to customize by changing the colors or the greeting. Add a black border for some impact against the white.

A big congrats to Cristena, the newest Featured Stamper (FS894). She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the wildflower in the oval layout, but I used different images, dies & colors & a few less layers.

For my card, I placed the new Oval mask on a die cut piece of white card stock. The greens were sponged in from the bottom up & the purples were sponged from the top down. I left just a bit of white between the 2 colors, then added the blue to bridge the colors. When using 2 opposite colors like green & purple, it’s important not to try to blend them together or it will usually look like mud. I used the lt blue because it blends well w/ both the purples & the greens.

After removing the mask, the pretty Silhouette Wildflowers were stamped on top of the sponged area. The word day was stamped beneath the oval & I cut a thin strip w/ the wonderful word on it to fit the oval. The image was attached to a black, die cut panel before adding to a white card.

Sunshine Butterflies

Posted on March 22, 2024 10:34 PM by Julie Comment

A colorful, fun to make card for almost any occasion..birthday, friendship, Mother’s Day, Easter. Lots of color & sweet butterflies to brighten anyone’s day.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC855), we are visiting Rent the Runway & their Pinterest Board. The bright colors in THIS dress inspired my card.

I had a small piece of glossy card that had the pinkish, orange colors brayered on it, so i stamped the butterflies & die cut them w/ their coordinating dies. The flowers were colored w/ Copics & die cut. For the colorful background, I used a lovely floral stencil & 2 colors of lt reds & 2 colors of yellows to sponge over the top of it. I added a couple of scallop frames to finish it off.

Here are the Copics I used for the flowers:
