Shaky, Swirly, Halloween Home

Hello Hivers,

I am really appreciating all the new products I ordered from the Holiday Catalog.  They have my creative Mojo working overtime.

This is my first shaker card.  I don't know why I waited so long to try this technique.  I love it.  I guess it looked a bit complicated, but in reality, it is not.  It came together faster than I thought it would.

If you haven't noticed, I tend to make two of each card that I design.  This is because you can get two cards from each sheet of 8.5" x 11" card stock.  That, and the fact that I can never make up my mind on how want the finished card to look.  As you can see, these cards are very similar but have a few differences.

Until next time....Buzzz you later,

An Oldie, yet a Goodie

Hello Hivers,

Today I thought I would share a couple of masculine looking cards.  I know I seen this design on Pinterest or something, but I can't seem to find it to give the originator their due credit.  I used the Bohemian Designer Series Paper for the background strip.  I just love the way that the Whisper White card stock makes the center image pop.  The Island Indigo and Blackberry Bliss really look good together.  And what to say about the Oldie, yet a Goodie stamp that I used?  Lovely as a Tree has been around since I started stamping.  This set is a must have.  It is very versatile.  I just love it.

Happy Butterfly

Hello Hivers,

These two cards were created with my favorite technique.  Sponging backgrounds.  I heat embossed the Swallowtail on the first card with Black and the other with Gold Embossing Powder.

The sentiment came from the Wetlands stamp set.  I named this post because of the colors (which I can't remember what I used).  These colors just make me think "Happy".

Moon Lake Birthday

Hello Hivers,

I want to apologize for my absence.  I lost my creative MOJO for a while there.  I have had many projects completed and ready to post, I was just in some kind of creative funk and I didn't even feel like sharing.  Again, I apologize.  I will be sharing my older projects from now until the end of the year at a rate of one per week.  I will do my best to post projects using all my new goodies from the Annual Catalog and the NEW Mini Holiday Catalog that will be available to order from on September 1, 2015.

Today I am sharing a card I created for my mother's husband.  I used the Moon Lake and Wetlands stamp sets.  I used my favorite technique, which is sponging a background.  This card is nice and simple.

Until next time....Buzzz you later,

CASE'd Wetlands

Hello Hivers,

Here is another card I made using the Wetlands stamp set. This card was CASE'd from a fellow demonstrator. I don't usually use Whisper White card stock as my base but in this case I thought it would make the focal point stand out more.

Until next time....Buzzz you later,

Thinking of You...

Hello Hivers,

This is the card I made for my husband on Father's Day.  I haven't sponged a background in a long time.  I had so much fun making this card.  So much so that I made several other cards using the same stamp set, Wetlands.  The message on the inside of the card started off with "on Father's Day".  I will be sharing the other cards in the upcoming days.  Be on the look out.  As always, thanks for buzzzing by.

Until next time....Buzzz you later,
