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.

Well…I realize St. Paddy’s Day was last week, but the Clean & Simple (CAS369) is basically, well…St. Patrick’s Day. Go figure! So here I am w/ one last card. Since green (any shade) is my favorite color, I always like this holiday & I guess I’ll have one ready for next year.

To make my easy card, I white embossed the polka dot bg on the green & die cut it. On the white layer, I die cut a large shamrock & used the negative space instead. The greeting & a few shamrocks were stamped & I sprinkled a few sequins to finish. 

Here’s a look at the inside.

Today’s Inspiration Challenge (IC529) is a site full of fun items. I saw THIS and thought the bicycle theme would make a cute Valentine. 

The bicycle was die cut and added to a sponged background. I had already stamped the heart tree & masking it would have been a nightmare so I just carefully sponged around it & used a marker to fill in any blank spots. I did have to do a little out of the box on the left side of three before I added it to a polka dot stamped layer. The big solid hearts were stamped & fussy cut then I added red stickles to them & some Wink of Stella to the hearts on the tree.

Here’s a look at the inside w/ just some simple stamping.
