Inspired By Challenge #389 Bumblebee

Today I am playing along with the Inspired By...Challenge for the week. I was inspired by the photo which looks like a bee and a butterfly so I chose an image that had both! My layout is roughly based on the sketch as well.  

I used the Buzzin By stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps. This bee with his butterfly friends just makes me smile! He's so happy!! I pulled out some paper and dies from my stash to complete my card. I can't wait to put this one in the mail to bring a smile to someone!

Have a super day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Kind Words Are Like Honey Sweet To The Soul

Today I have a sweet card using the Crafty Stamp Co.'s Bees & Honey Stamp Set!

Such darling little bears dressed as bees, adorable!!

To help me decide on a layout I pulled out my Inspired By The Sketch Book! I chose Sketch #48. I always feel once I have the sketch picked out the rest of the card goes together quickly!

I stamped, colored and cut out the sweet bear and all the elements of the sketch. Then it was just a matter of putting the card together. The finishing touches were some sparkle on the wings and adding some Sea Glass Sparkle Crafty Dots!

I think this turned out so super sweet! It was fun to go with the aqua/turquoise color instead of black for the bee look.

Have a super sweet day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Bee Kind

As the weather gets warmer I love to see the bees buzzing around flowers! As a child I was not overly happy with bees and scared of them but as an adult I really enjoy them and have learned more about them. If I had a house in the country I would love to have my own hives but at the moment, that's a dream.

I pulled out the Crafty Stamp Co. Buzzy Bee Meadow stamp set today since my mind was on bees! I paired the stamp set with the Buzy Buzzin' 6x6 Paper Pad, also from Crafty Stamp Co.

I used Sketch #15 from the Inspired By The Sketch Book for my layout. I just love this book full of sketches so much! It helps me when I feel "stuck" on a card!

Once I had all my papers cut and laid out for the card, I stamped the images and colored them up and cut them out.

The next step was to stamp out a sentiment and add some sparkle. The card came together easily after that! A super sweet card to bring smiles to anyone!

Have a beautiful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

I thought it would be fun to create a card from each of the TOP Inky Inspiration Sketches that Crystal Minkler puts out in her Tawny Owl Paperie | Inky Inspiration group. I've used her sketches often but haven't started at the beginning and worked my through them all.

Today I have used Sketch 15~

I chose the super fun Bee-Hold stamp set from Unity Stamps for my focal image and built the card around that fun bee with papers and pearls from my stash.

Have a wonderful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!
