Buzzing by Birthday...

Hello and Happy Friday Fellow Crafters

It's the weekend!! YESSS!!!
That means I'm already on my way to my
sister's house for a nice visit!! I'm totally
looking forward to hanging with my sister and 
my nieces - They are so much fun to be around!

All this week I've been showcasing some digital stamps

I got from my Awesome crafty friend Jessica over at:

Polka Dot Orchard

I hope you've gone to check out her store or maybe even bought 
a couple of her Digi's - They really are wonderful and
you can mix and match them (which is what I like to do!)

Here's a sweet Buzzing Birthday card I created -

Isn't this just the cutest little bee!!!

I'm using the Bee Hoppy digital stamp set for the background and the

sweet Bumble Bee/Flowers - 

I'm using the Good Morning Spring Digital

Stamp set for my Birthday Sentiment - 

The "Hello" sentiment is from the

It's your Day Digital Stamp set and 

the (Heart) is from the

Winter Bear Digital Stamp set - SEE - Very easy to use lots

of her Digi's on one project!!! LOVE THAT!!

Because the Bee has bunny ears & a basket I had to
enlarged my flower to cover up the ears and covered up the basket 
by adding the heart to the front of it -

I thought I would share the inside of my card -

So you can see how I created it as well -

After I made my bee, I shrunk it down so I can add the

same elements to the inside of my card - I did the same for the

hexagon shapes -

I colored everything with my Alcohol markers -
I used some clear adhesive gems, Fun Foam,
a banner die, and a stitched rectangle Frame die - 
My bees & Flower image were all Die cut out with my Scan N Cut Machine

  

I'm Entering the following Challenges:

Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes

Cut it Up Challenge - Birthdays

Die Cuttin Divas - Tic-Tac-Toe

I'm using Gems, an Insect, & Digital Stamping as my Technique

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Fabulous Day!!

Hello and Happy Thursday Wonderful Crafters!

I hope your week has been going well so far -
Mine has been busy with work and preparing for
my trip tomorrow with my Sister - (I can't wait) :)

All this week I'm showcasing some digital stamps

I got from my Awesome crafty friend Jessica over at:

Polka Dot Orchard

She's been working hard at making new digi's and I just think
they're wonderful! 

Here's a sweet Springtime card I made --

Even though it's the end of May (Can you believe it?)
And it's like 95 degrees outside for me - it's still
technically Spring until June 20th - So I had to
throw in another Springtime card for ya!

I'm using the Bee Hoppy digital stamp set 

for the background image and I'm using the 

Springtime Smiles Digital stamp set for my sentiment

I created a simple rectangle border around my image and lightly

colored it with some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink

Then colored my images in with some Alcohol Markers

I used a Stitched Frame die to add some character and then

added some clear tiny gems on some of the flowers - 

Popped the card front up with some Fun Foam and

placed it on a yellow card base - 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Fabulous Day!!

The Watercolored Heart background is from the Silhouette Store (#247279)

and I printed that on some Neenah Solar White Cardstock and

sprayed it with my Acrylic spray - Then I attached the vellum

Game On Birthday!

Hello and Happy Wednesday Crafty Peeps!

Tomorrow is our Last day of School!

Can you believe it? I can't! I'll get a small break then

back to work I go, but this time without the little ones

running around! As you can imagine it's easier to keep

things clean while they're out for the Summer! LOL

I'm hoping to squeeze in a couple of breaks throughout

the Summer too if I can since I'm just cleaning classrooms this year!

Or at least that's my plan anyway!! (Wink Wink)

My Baby Hunter turned 16 a couple of weeks ago...

I can't believe he's 16 already! Where did the time go???

He also got his License! WHAT?? 

I'm so proud of that young man!

So I thought I would share the card I created

for his birthday - He really liked how it came out!

Isn't this Fun & Cool??? 

Perfect for that Gamer you know!

I'm using the awesome Echo Park Digital Collection called:

GAME ON

I wanted to show you the Clear Gloss I added to the controller -

I wanted it to stand out just a tad!

The Simple (HB2U) Stamp is from Craftin Desert Divas

I also thought you might like to see how I dressed up the inside of his card -

I can't remember which stamps I used for the inside -

But I like all the colors - :)

Cardstock - Bazzill White, Stampin' Up Grey

Canon Pro 9000 Printer, Acrylic Spray, Silhouette program,
