TSOL: Sweeter Than Honey...

Hello! I have a card to share today using stamps from The Stamps Of Life.  I love the these little bees and the hexagon background that goes perfectly with the bee sets.  I stamped the background in chocolate ink and then stamped the individual hexagons in a random pattern in mustard ink.  The bees are stamped and colored.  I used the coordinating bee dies to cut them.  I used distress ink on the edges of all of my paper to create depth.

Thanks for stopping by!

TSOL: New Bee dies!

The Stamps Of Life

Hello! Today I have some cards to share using the new bee dies from The Stamps Of Life.  They match the bee4me and hive4bees sets.  For the first card, I added some Glossy Accents and some of Stephanie's Sprinkles glitter to the wings. I colored the bee body with copic markers.

 For this card, I stamped the bee hive onto patterned paper and then used the matching die to cut it out. I popped it up with foam dots for dimension.  I also used one of the new mini tag dies to attach to the baker's twine at the bottom.

 I used some fun patterned paper for the vertical panel on this card. Once again, I added some Glossy Accents and Sprinkles glitter to the wings.

I was excited to see a big bumble bee buzzing by me yesterday! Loving the warmer weather!

Thanks for stopping by!

'Hive' been thinking....

Hello! Wanted to share this card I made with a couple of The Stamps Of Life sets.  I used hive4bee, bees4me and background4bees sets.  I stamped the hive in black and then cut it out.  I then layered different yellow inks and distress inks by sponging them onto the hive.  I stamped the little bees in black and then paper pieced their tiny wings.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

What's The Buzz?

Hi, there!  Today I have a CAS card to share using the bee4me set from The Stamps Of Life.  I stamped the bee body in Licorice ink by Stephanie Barnard and the yellow is Crushed Curry from SU.  The card base is also Crushed Curry.  I added Glossy Accents to the wings and sprinkled with Fairy Dust Glitter by Donna Salazar.  I paper pierced around the border.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by.

TSOL: Buzzing by...

Hi, there!  Today I have a Flip-It card to share with you using new stamps from The Stamps Of Life.  I love the Flip-It dies created by Stephanie Barnard for Sizzix.  They are so much fun, and kids of all ages love opening them.  I always have a hard time keeping my boys away from them if I had made one and leave it sitting on my desk!
I used two sets on this card-bee4me and hive4bees.  I pieced the bees onto the blue card base, and then added glossy accents to their wings.  The floral paper is by Crate Paper, and the twine is from The Twinery.  I also used a SU corner punch for the corner pieces on both sides.
I always have a difficult time photographing these cards, so you can see how neat they are!  Below you can find them open on both sides.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend!
