Bee Happy

Posted on March 25, 2016 11:35 AM by Julie 3 Comments

The Mix Challenge (MIX165) is winged things & to have at least 2 different kinds of media. For my card, I used ink, Copic markers & embossing powder.

To make my hexagons, I stamped & heat embossed using a pale yellow powder, onto black card stock. Some were embossed w/ dots, some w/ a honeycomb & some w/ stripes. They were then die cut using either the Spellbinders hexagons or the MFT honeycomb dies. The white front was die first w/ matting basic, then cut w/ a stitched rectangle & a black layer inserted between them. The greeting stamped & the other two little bees were stamped on a scrap (the right facing bee is actually a mirror image) & fussy cut. The hexagons were attached, with some of them elevated.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Flying Balloons

The Clean & Simple Challenge today (CAS366) is to have an element extend beyond the edge of the card base. My yellow balloon rises just above the top edge of the card. I also had the MIX Challenge (MIX162) from last Friday in mind when I made this by using only primary colors.

I had a water color bg in my stash (I tend to make a bunch at a time for use later on) & I used the part of it that only had the red & yellow. There’s a little blue creeping in on the right, but not much. The two hot air balloons were stamped, colored w/ Copics, over stamped w/ Versafine then fussy cut. I also added one extra center panel (a little elevated) on each balloon. The little curved white panel w/ the window cut out was a left over so I cut the bottom of the w/c panel to match. Added the greeting & some sequins & done!

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Serendipity SSCB#52 – Anything Goes!

Posted on February 1, 2016 12:00 AM by Julie 4 Comments

SS Button_design team_res
Welcome to the February Challenge for Serendipity Stamps!

This month the challenge is Anything Goes! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. We also have a new “Stamp of the Month”. Each month a different image is 50% off & this month- it’s the Tandem Bicycle Set. Be sure to check out the great deals on the Clearance Stamps! And as always, we have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

Since anything goes and I always need a ton of birthday cards for March (just around the corner!), I used this fabulous new Birthday die which happens to go perfectly w/ the Happy die & the Reverse Balloon die (I used some of the positive balloons cuts) I already have. I die cut the red stripe layer & the white topper & my first thought was to split the white panel in two & add the Birthday in the middle. Then after die cutting the Birthday, I liked how it looked left with the upper portion of the white but with the lower section removed, so I left it. I added a couple of piece of card stock behind it to elevate it a bit from the red stripe paper. I die cut some of the balloons out of the red stripe & added them w/ some of the confetti & added them next to the double stacked Happy.

Here’s a look at the inside, continuing w/ the die cuts.

Supplies:

Stamps: none

Paper: Neenah white, red striped dp (Bazzill Basics – Red Devil pack)

Ink: none

Accessories: Serendipity- Birthday, Happy, Party Balloon Reverse, Celebrate dies, Spellbinders A2 matting basics B dies, Lil’ Inkers stitched rectangle dies
