Heartfelt Creations: We Three Kings...

Hello! Today I have an easy card to share using papers from Heartfelt Creations Christmas Card Collection.  This card uses no stamps are dies! The sentiment, image and designer papers are all from the Christmas Card Collection paper pad.  I added some sequins and rhinestones, but this card was super quick and easy to assemble.

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.
