Happy Monday Queen Bees


This week I am using the Queen Bee bundle with the Dainty Flowers DSP. I used Basic White and Old Olive cardstock. I stamped the front with Highland Heather and I colored the flowers on the bee with many colors, light for all, Highland Heather, Fresh Freesia, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Blackberry Bliss, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red and Polished Pink. The dies that come with the set has a little tag die that I used on the words and I used the bee die to cut out the bee. 

The base is 4 1/4 x 11 inches scored at 5 1/2 inches. The first layer of Old Olive is 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches. The DSP layer is 4 x 4 7/8 inches. The inside Old Olive layer is the same as the front layer of Old Olive. The basic white layer is 4 x 5 1/4 inches. The flowers stamped on the inside are stamped in Momento. 

I really like the DSP for this card. Ill show the other side on Wednesday. I am going to add rhinestone embellishments to the card that I didn't do before I took the picture. The card is so simple but fun to make. I really liked coloring the bee. 

Happy crafting!

Ending the Week with Friendly Gnomes

 

















This week we are ending the week with Pool Party Friendly Gnome card and a special card for a sick little girl in Kentucky. The Dandy Designs DSP that you can get from the Sale-A-Bration catalog is awesome. It has awesome designs on the paper with a variety of color plus you get 48 sheets instead of 12. These little gnomes are just so cute and I love the little bird and squirrel. 

The base is 4 1/4 x 11 inches scored at 5 1/2 inches. The first layer is 1/8 of an inch shorter on every side. The DSP is 2 x 4 inches each, it's 1 piece and I just used both sides. The Basic White layer is 2 1/2 x 4 inches. Inside the first layer is 1/8 of an inch shorter around and the Basic White layer is 5 1/4 x 4 inches.  Everything is stamped in Momento but the little stamps of grass are stamped in Pear Pizzazz. I colored in Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Seaside Spray, Highland Heather, Smokey Slate, Pale Papaya, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Old Olive, and Bermuda Bay. 

The card below is a special card I made for a sick little girl in Kentucky. She has been fighting for her life and she's turning 1 on Monday. I hope the card makes it there on time but if not she will get it a little later.

More Friendly Gnomes












We continue the week with the other side of the DSP and Friendly Gnome of love. With a Fresh Freesia base, Basic White for the first layer and the inside. I really like these little gnomes. They are so cute and so happy. You can do so much with them, birthdays, love and just happy notes to people. 

My cards always become really simple. I think about it for a while but I always end up with something simple. I use the same base, first and second layer measurements that I used Monday. The Basic White layer is 2 3/4 x 4 inches. 

There is still time to get free product with Sale-A-Bration and to get free product you can go to my Shop, look at the new mini catalog and the annual catalog for such awesome new stuff.

Friendly Gnome Monday


                                                       













Happy Monday! We are going to see how we can use the Friendly Gnomes. Today we are using the flowery gnome and using the Dandy Designs DSP from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. All the colors in the DSP set are so much fun. I really liked the purple and used Fresh Freesia and Purple Posy (which isn't available anymore). I used the Purple posy even though its not available but I have a full pack of cardstock of it. You can use all Fresh Freesia or mix with Highland Heather. I used the Fresh Freesia for the base and the first layer is the Purple Posy. 

The base is 5 1/2 inches by 8 1/2 inches scored at 4 1/4 inches. The first layer is an 1/8 of an inch shorter on all sides. The DSP is 4 x 1 1/2 inches. When placing the DSP I just eyeballed it and tried to get them even. The Basic White layer is 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. I stamped in Momento and Pear Pizzazz. I used light and dark fresh freesia, light and dark highland heather, light pale papaya, light daffodil delight, light smokey grey and light crumb cake all to color the gnome.
