Honey Bee Lovely Layers: Small Suitcases

 I am loving the Honey Bee Lovely Layers die sets! The detailing is amazing.

My sister has been enjoying a lot of traveling, so when I saw the suitcase dies I bought them with her in mind. The gold foil cardstock make the buckles pop, especially if you run them through again with an embossing mat.

Have a lovely crafty day!

Honey Bee Lovely Layers: Craft Cart

One of the greatest joys of card creating is making something with someone in mind. When I saw this craft cart I thought of my SIL! When she visited us in Arizona last spring from Hawaii she bought an IKEA Raskog cart for her sewing room. Of course I had to have this Honey Bee set!

Thank you to Amy Tsuruta for the Pigment Craft Co Cozy Stitches background plate! The folded patterned papers are supposed to be fat quarters. I did run to Amazon at the last minute for a few additional pieces like the needles and tape measure. Thank you to my hubby for picking up a silver foiled cardstock sheet for me while he was out and about. It really made the scissors, needles, and rotary cutter amazing.

Have a joy-filled crafty day!

Happy Happy Happy Birthday

 

The combination of Honey Bee and Waffle Flower is a winner! 

The confetti is shiny gold, very festive. I found notecards in my stash in an assortment from Michael's. Sadly, the confetti on the notecard was landscape, not portrait. Took some cropping and piecing, actually used a card front and part of another because I wanted the confetti to drop down lower on the third Happy. The red card front is double stacked, and the bottom happy is filled in with white letters for stability.

Hope you are able to have a crafty day!

Washi Heart

Struggled for days trying to come up with a simple but special thank you. Haven't done washi paper quilting in years, so pulled out some washi paper and foam sheets. There is a nice tutorial here.

Have a fabulous, crafty day!

Love Letters

Happy with how this card turned out!

Concord & 9th Love Letters takes center stage on this card. I thought the Lawn Fawn Quilted Backdrop complemented the leaf shapes. I used the peachy colored Love Letters enamel shapes hearts to work with the old olive background. The letters are double stacked.

Kayak Girl

When I saw Angie Blom's Kayak Girl I knew I would make a card for my friend Martha. She and her husband have a house on Anderson Island, WA and love to kayak. If I had a Mt. Rainier stamp I would have fussy cut the tree line.

The Kayak Girl image was fussy cut and colored with Copics. I tried to choose colors for a harmonious feel (one with nature).

Create and give with joy. 💛
