#TGIFC514: You're as Sweet as Honey

This week's challenge at TGIF Challenges is an inspiration challenge, and it's perfect if you're starting to think about spring!

 

I am using the Meant to Bee Bundle this week, and I thought that it would work well with this challenge. I paired it with the Floral Delight DSP.

 

There are a variety of sizes of hexagons in the Meant to Bee die set, and each die creates a solid hexagon as well as a narrow outline. I've used the two smallest hexagons for my card - the smallest one for the solid hexagon and the second smallest for the Daffodil Delight outline. 

 

The sentiment comes from the Bee My Valentine stamp set. These two stamp sets work really well together, and are just a little bit different, giving you lots of options for mixing and matching.

 

Here is a full list of products used on this card:

Stamps: Bee My Valentine, Meant to Bee

Ink: Memento Black, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Floral Delight DSP

Embellishments: Daffodil Delight 1/8" Satin Ribbon, Adhesive-Backed Dots for Days

Tools: Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, Meant to Bee Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

 

Happy Stamping!

Creation Station: Black & White with a Pop of Color

 

Welcome to this month's Creation Station Design Team hop! This month, we created projects that use black and white with a pop of color. 

 

 

I wanted to use the Meant to Bee Bundle, so I chose Daffodil Delight as my pop of color. I've used the smallest hexagon die in the Meant to Bee die set to create my background. You'll see two Designer Series Papers - the Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper (coming Tuesday!) and the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper.

Even if you already have the Bee My Valentine stamp set and Bee Builder Punch in your stash, this new Meant to Bee Bundle is a must have too! It's meant for scrapbooking, but I love that you get two more sizes of bees, and the dies are amazing.

 

 

Here is a full list of products used on this card:

Stamps: Meant to Bee

Ink: Memento Black, Daffodil Delight

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Lovely Garden DSP, Floral Delight DSP

Embellishments: Neutral Matte Dots, Daffodil Delight 1/8" Satin Ribbon

Tools: Meant to Bee Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

It's the first Sunday of the month, and that means it's time for the Creation Station Design Team hop! This month, we are choosing a card sketch from a current catalog to create our projects. I've chosen a sketch from the Annual Catalog. 

 

 

My card uses a few products that I just can't stop using! I've created my watercolor piece with Stampin' Write Markers - Melon Mambo, Azure Afternoon, and Berry Burst. I added a piece of gingham paper from the Cute as a Bee Designer Series Paper pack, some Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins, and the Starstruck Embossing Folder for some texture in the background. The sentiment and heart come from the With You in Mind stamp set.

#TGIFC509: Love You More than Coffee

Hello, and happy Wednesday! Today's card is such a fun one. It was inspired by the theme challenge at TGIF Challenges this week.

 

I wanted to highlight the Stampin' Write Markers that are part of the starter kit offer during Sale-a-bration, and after seeing the theme graphic, I had to pair them with the More than Autumn Bundle. It was a match made in heaven!

 

I've used the Stampin' Write Markers in three ways on this card:

1. I used the brush end of the marker and colored on my Clear Block E with three different colors from the Brights Collection - Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, and Berry Burst. Then I spritzed the block with my Stampin' Spritzer, and laid a piece of Watercolor Paper over the top. This created the background for my card.
2. Once the background was dry, I flicked the brush end of my Berry Burst Marker against it's lid to get some subtle speckles in the background.
3. Finally, I used the Berry Burst Marker to color the hearts on my coffee cups.

 

Here is a full list of products used:

Stamps: More than Autumn

Ink: Memento Black, Versamark

Stampin' Write Markers: Berry Burst, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo

Paper: Crumb Cake, Berry Burst, Basic Black, Basic White, Watercolor Paper

Embellishments: Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins

Tools: Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Stampin' Spritzer, More than Autumn Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Adhesive Sheets

 

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope this card inspires you to get out your markers and give one of these techniques a try!

 

Happy Stamping!
