Honey Bee

The Honey Bee Bundle was one of the first products that I bought from the Spring/Summer Catalogue when it was released. It is very useful for square cards. I love the cute little bee as it is so beautifully drawn.

I stamped the hive on to gold Cardstock using Stazon Black Ink. The sentiment dies are from the Stitched So Sweetly set.

Another cased card that uses the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch with Daffodil Delight Cardstock.
.

This is a Simple lay out design which I used as a starter in the last blog post.

I used the Stamparatus for the last card. Terry Pocock has an excellent video on how to make this card. she has also done one on how to make a Medallion Template.

Casing a Card

I cased the first card from the internet. It uses the Honey Bee Stamp Set from the Spring/Summer Catalogue. I then decided to try out the same lay out with different stamp sets.

The above stamp set is the retired Touches of Texture. The colours are Rococo Rose and Mint Macaron.

The next stamp set is Love What You Do with a sentiment from Well Said.

Free as a Bird is the next one with a sentiment from a retired set.

The last card includes a butterfly from Butterfly Gala and the flowers are from Love You to Pieces.

Sail Away Home

 At my last Craft Day we used the Sail Away Home Bundle with the matching Memories and More Card Pack. I used a Blender Pen to colour the sea in the first card which has a Sahara Sand base.

The second card was cased from Pinterest. I used the retired Seaside Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings set.

A watercolour wash was used in the third card . This is the card that Demonstrators made at Convention in April.

I used one of the cards from the matching Memories and More pack for the last card. There is a great choice of Dies with this Bundle.

Gather Together Bundle

Next Monday evening I am running a class using the Gather Together Bundle from the Autumn/Winter Catalogue. The first card was my customer thank you card this month. I love Autumn and all of the beautiful coloured leaves. To colour the smaller leaves I used a sponge dauber to apply ink to the dies before running them through the Big Shot.

I love the colours in the Designer Series Paper that matches this Bundle. I used the Colourful Seasons stamps and dies from the Annual Catalogue for the second card. The background colours are Merry Merlot and Cajun Craze.

The third colour combination is Mint Macaron and Pear Pizzazz. I added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter for some extra bling. 

The last card was cased from Julie Davison. I just used a different punch for the sentiment. I love the combination of Pretty Peacock and Early Espresso.
