CCCC15

 Hello! Here to link up a coffee + green card for challenge number 15 over at the Caffeinated Christmas card challenge blog 


My card: Unity Stamps, Owl Cheers That. Treeline stencil is Miss Ink Stamps, christmas pinecones SU! Stampin cut and emboss.



Bee..

Hello! I'm here to share another Sweet n Sassy Stamps card as a guest designer.  I used the BEE SWEET stamp set. NOTE: I stamped directly and/or fussy cut an image, but there is a coordinating die set, including a bundle deal which is also currently marked down. 😊

I did a split panel card front. I die cut two card fronts, and inked smooshed them with oxide inks, and the top one, I also flicked watercolor onto it with a Karin marker. 

The bottom panel, I stamped the honeycomb image several times and colored it. Set aside. The top layer, I diagonal cut out a section. Stamped my bees and sentiment. On a separate piece of cardstock, I stamped, colored and cut out the honey jar and honey dipper. 

I then matched up top and bottom pieces. Although not necessary, I added a piece of acetate to the back securing it with tape. Then using foam dots, I put the two layers together, then glued to my A2 card base. Glued on the honey jar and dipper....

I love all things bee, and this set is BEE-UTIFUL. 🐝😊
