Happy Bee-day

 

A rainy Friday which always lends itself to more creative fun. I made this card for two different challenges. I used Linda's sketch for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and was inspired by the inspiration list for the Festive Friday challenge. August 16 is National Honey Bee Day so their list was related to a bee theme. I used black, yellow, die cuts, bees, bee sentiment from the list.

STAMPS: The Buzz (Reverse Confetti).

INK: Memento Tuxedo Black.

PAPER: X-Press It Blending Card; Stamper's Select White, True Black, Bright Buttercup (Papertrey Ink); Black & White Stripes 6x6 pad (My Favorite Things).

DIES: Simple Strips (Pretty Pink Post); The Buzz (Reverse Confetti); Hexagon Elegant (Simon Says Stamp).

COPICS: Y13, Y15, C0, C2, C6, C7.

That's a wrap for today! Thanks for stopping by!  ~Wanda
 

Tic Tac Toe Challenge

 

I've been wanting to CASE a beautiful card sent to me by a fellow stamper from Texas (Susie Moore), so the new Tic Tac Toe challenge was the perfect motivation to create this card. I used the far left vertical row of friendship, any color and any shape die. I loved Susie's concept of popping up a frame over the pierced stitching background. I double cut the sentiment die to make it sturdier and more dimensional. 

The Greetery has a list of supplies they will be retiring soon and when they are gone...they are gone! The Print Shop: Floral Frame is one of those items.

Here's what I used: 

STAMPS: Print Shop: Floral Frame, Comforting Commands (The Greetery).

INK: Limeade Ice, Simply Chartreuse, Lovely Lady, Melon Berry (Papertrey Ink); Versafine Clair Nocturne (Ranger).

PAPER: Stamper's Select White, Lovely Lady (PTI).

DIES: Blueprints 27 (My Favorite Things); Print Shop: Floral Frame, Comforting Commands (The Greetery); Stitching Cover Plate (Paper Rose Studio).

OTHER: Sequins, enamel dots, dew drop embellishments.
