Sweet As Honey

 

I made this card for my daughter for Valentine's Day with the Bee Mine suite. I have a Sweet Sorbet base and a piece of Bee Mine DSP.  I stamped the bee in Daffodil Delight ink and Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Bee My Valentine set on white cardstock. I also stamped the wings in petal pink ink and the antenna in Black ink on white card stock and punched all with the Bee Builder punch. I added some color to cheeks with Sweet Sorbet marker. I popped it on a white die cut with the Everyday Details dies. I stamped the sentiment on a strip of white card stock in Black ink. I finished it off with adhesive-backed hearts in red. 

Have a sweet day and thanks for stopping by!

Bee Mine Square Pillow Boxes

 

I decorated these square pillow boxes and filled with some chocolates for friends. I cut the largest Deckled Circle die with the Bee mine DSP to placed over the top. I ran the Sweet Sorbet 1/4" bordered ribbon around and tied a bow. I punched the heart with a retired punch in Sweet Sorbet card stock. I hand cut the bee from another piece of the DSP and added the heart from the adhesive-backed heart in yellow. 

Hope you have a lovely Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!

Bee Mine Card Holder

 

I made these boxes for classes this week for my guest to carry home their cards. I used the Bee My Valentine bundle with the Bee Mine DSP. I cut a piece of Sweet Sorbet card stock 8.25" by 11" scored on long side at 5.25" and 7" and scored on short side at 1.75" on both ends. I cut the DSP at 4.5" by 3.75 for the front of the box. I then punched out a Sweet Sorbet Heartfelt Hexagon to pop my bee on. I stamped the bee on a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink plus the wings in Petal Pink ink and antenna in Black on white card stock. I punched all with the Bee Builder punch. I added a little bit of Sweet Sorbet to the cheeks and finished off with an adhesive-backed flower. 

Hope you have a wonderful Monday and thanks for stopping by!

Thinking Of Everyday Details

 

I had some pieces on my desk like the white base and the Perennial Postage die cut out in pool party card stock that I did not use on a project and the lovely Everyday Details bundle begging to be used again. I layered the Pool Party piece  on the base after I cut the center with the one of the dies from Everyday Details dies.  I then cut again in white and stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black from the stamp set and colored with my Stampin blends markers in Pool Party, Granny Apple Green and Fresh Freesia. I popped it in the center and added two iridescent pearls. I stamped the sentiment in Black ink from the Layering Leaves set at bottom.

Birthday Wishes With Painted Lavender

 

Doing a little casing from the new spring mini catty that starts tomorrow on January 4th, 2024. I am using the new Perennial Lavender suite and trying to case the card on page 25 but used a different print of DSP. I have a white base and covered it with a piece of the Perennial Lavender DSP. I then cut a white Perennial Postage die and added some ink with my blending brush in Soft Sea Foam on bottom and Highland Heather in the middle. Might not show well on the photo. I then stamped several of the lavender flowers from the Painted Lavender set on white card stock in Highland Heather and sponged some Gorgeous Grape as well as Blackberry Bliss before cutting them out with matching dies. I cut a few Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape stems from card stock to go behind then stamped the stems in Shaded Spruce to cut. I stamped the butterflies in highland Heather and cut them with matching dies. I stamped the birthday sentiment from Lasting Joy from the annual catty in Blackberry Bliss ink on white and cut with the Perennial Postage dies.  I added some Purple Fine Shimmer gems around to finish it off. 

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Special Delivery

 

I am finally back as of yesterday in my stampin space to do some creating. I needed to make a birthday card for my Dad and get it mailed off today. Can't believe he will be 78 next week! I knew he would love this truck especially in blue, his fav color. I started with a white base and added the Gorgeous Gingham DSP in Blueberry Bushel gingham print. I cut two Deckled circles- Blueberry and white. I stamped the tree plus road in Pecan Pie ink from the Trucking Along set, the leaves in Granny Apple Green and the cloud in Balmy Blue. I stamped the gifts for the back of the truck in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with my stampin blends markers in Daffodil Delight, Sweet Sorbet, and Pool Party. I then stamped the truck in Memento Black on a piece of white card stock and colored it with my blends in Blueberry Bushel, Black, and Smoky Slate. I punched it out with the Truck Builder punch. I stamped the sentiment in Black on a white oval from the Double Oval punch. Inside, I stamped a HB in Blueberry Bushel ink.

Hope you have a beautiful New Year's week!
