BEE MINE

Good morning! Judy here to share with you two of my favorite things -- bees and valentines! 

I love Valentine's Day -- almost more than any other holiday! It must come from my incredible love for chocolate :) The love for bee things is a little different -- I am very allergic to bee stings, but for some reason, just love the dies, stamps, and little bee knickknacks I find. As long as they aren't real, I am good with them!

I had originally started to make a typical yellow and black card using the Bumblebee Mini Die, but then I took a pink turn (which happens frequently since it's my favorite color) and made my card into a valentine instead.

The Scalloped Doily provided a fun background for my pink flower. The bees are buzzin' around to wish you an early Happy Valentine's Day~!

CottageCutz Catching a Buzzzzzzz!

Hello and happy Wednesday!  Lorie here today with a fun little card made with CottageCutz dies from the Spring Blossom release at The Scrapping Cottage.   These gorgeous dies just arrived in my mailbox yesterday, and I could hardly wait to get that package opened and start playing!  

 I used some patterned paper from my stash, added some punched elements for the sentiment and embellishment.  The wings of the bee have Stickles added to them for sparkle.  Oh!  I almost forgot!  I sponged the edges of the doily and bee's wings with distress ink, as well as the body, using  opaque white ink.   You can see that by adding just that wee bit of sponging, it gives the die cut a much more 3-Dimensional look. 

For this card, I used the following dies:

     

This Spring Blossom release has a lot of great dies lending endless possibilities for some truly amazing projects.  Be sure to visit The Scrapping Cottage to check them ALL out!  You'll be glad you did!!!  Have a wonderful and blessed day, and Happy Crafting!!
