You're My Honey Bee

Happy Thursday! It's Judy V here sharing my You're My Honey Bee card project for Pajama Crafter Stamps.

I am using one of this month's New Release stamp sets, Bruno Bee Keeper. What a cute and fun stamp set this is! It includes 11 images and 4 sentiments.

To create my card, start by stamping one of the bears, 5 bee houses, 3 sets of flowers and 1 set of bees. Color the images. My preferred coloring medium is pencil colors. Do some fussy cutting next.

To create the background of my scene, I die cut grass, hills and clouds.

My blue card base measures 5 x 6 1/2 inches. Add the grass and hills to the bottom half of the card. Stamp the sentiment onto the cloud die cut. Adhere the cloud to the top of the card.

Piece some of the bee houses together to form 3 different sizes. Adhere to card.

Add Bruno the bear, the flowers and bees. Draw some loopy doodles behind the bees with a fine line marker. 

Embellish with some Opalescence Confetti Embellishments.

Thanks for taking a look at my You're My Honey Bee Card project. Check out Bruno Bee Keeper at Pajama Crafter Stamps!

You & Me

Hello there!

Today I'm posting on behalf of

Conie Fong Art & Design.

 My inspiration card was created with

First Kiss.

This digi is so adorable.

I just love it!

I printed on white card stock and colored with Prismacolor pencils.

My background was created with an embossing folder

from Crafter's Companion. I used white card stock and

added color with glitter gel pens for the flowers and inked the rest.

An arched opening was cut with a Spellbinders die.

I cut to take out mushrooms and a fairy that were part of the folder.

Just goes to show, you can alter almost anything to fit your design!

The sentiment was die cut with a die set from Scrapbook.com.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at today's card!

I love putting it together!

Noodle Panda Graduation

It's time to share inspiration for this month's

Polkadoodles Craft & Card Making Challenge!

 The DT was asked to create a graduation themed project for this week's inspiration. 

I chose to create a card using 

Graduation You Passed Noodle Panda. 

The sweet panda was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

My simple designed background consists of white card stock.

I added strip of burgundy card stock and a silver rectangle 

which was embossed with a stars embossing folder.

The sentiment from 

Winnie Celebrations 2 Sentiment Pack.

Enamel dots were added to complete my Graduation Card design.

Won't you join in this month?

Bee-utiful Birthday

Just a quick post on this really HOT afternoon!

The card I'm sharing was created with one of the  new Buzzy Bee Gnomes digis from

Polkadoodles!

using Blooming-Bee Buzzy Gnome

This cute gnome was colored with pencils.

I trimmed to a rectangle shape and matted with black cardstock.

The background is comprised of 2 patterned papers from

Bee Buzzy Stripes & Gingham Printable Paper Patterns

Bee Buzzy Polka Dots Printable Paper Patterns

I cut diagonally, pieced together, added to a black card base and 

added a strip of black cardstock between the 2 patterns.

The sentiment was printed from

Buzzy Bees Message/Sentiment/Quotes Printable Bundle.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!

Beach Please!

Beach please does sound nice! Don't you think relaxing on a warm, sandy beach with a breeze coming off of the water makes for a perfect day?

Hey there! It's Judy V here sharing my latest project for Pajama Crafter Stamps.

For this project I am using one of this month's New Release stamp sets, Beach Huts Stamps.

I'm also using one of the Beach Retreat Flashcards.

The "Beach Please" flashcard will serve as the background.

Ink the bottom and top part of the card.Stamp the huts from the stamp set near the top of the flashcard.

Create a mask to cover the stamping.

Add some sandy brown ink.

Color the stamped image. Prismacolor pencils are my preferred coloring medium.

I create an A2 card base with a bright blue card stock. Cut a piece of black card stock to mat the flashcard which I trim down to @ 3 3/8 x 4 3/4 inches. 

Deciding I need to add a little something more, I stamp the driftwood image with seashells from the stamp set. Color the shells and fussy cut.

Add the shell to the card with a few Opalescence Confetti Embellishments to complete.

I hope you enjoy my Beach Please card as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Music Theme Layout

Judy here sharing my latest project for CutCardStock which is a Music Theme Layout. 

Music is an important part of my life as a former music teacher and musician. If not for music, the opportunity to meet my husband, who is the subject of this layout, would've not been possible.

Layout Base

Start this layout by pulling out 12 x 12 inch pieces of DCS Discount Black Card Stock and Cougar WHITE Card Stock. I print a photo at 4 x 6 inches.

I will be using the white card stock as the background for the layout. Trim the card stock down to 11 3/4 x 11 3/4 inches.

Wanting to add a little something, I randomly add some stenciling with gray ink and Journalling Stencils - Set #3.

Adhere the white card stock to a 12 x 12 piece of the black card stock.

Creating and Adding Elements

To create a border for the lower edge of the layout I stencil a music staff onto DCS Discount Black Card Stock with white ink.

Fussy cut the music staff.

Cut 2, 3/4 x 8 1/2 inch pieces of Lessebo DAWN MAROON Cardstock. Attach horizonally to the lower portion of the layout base.

Add the fussy cut music staff to the layout base over the red strips.

I'm adding a large quote to the layout which is a Silhouette cut file. It is cut twice, once with DCS Discount Black Card Stock and once with Lessebo DAWN MAROON Cardstock.

Adhere the cut outs. It's hard to tell in the photo that I layer some of the red and black letters as to add shadowing.

Add 3 red strips vertically to the right side of the layout.

To complete my Music Theme Layout I add the photo. 3 red hearts left over from the cut files embellish the music staff.

Thanks for checking out my Music Theme Layout!
