Thanks for visiting!


Welcome! This is the place where I share my artsy and crafty projects. I am an evolving artist these days ... finding myself enjoying less of the cards and mini albums that I have made for years, and turning to art journaling and more artistic endeavors. I have always enjoyed some craft or other, and some of my earliest memories of my mother helping me make paper dolls and other crafts. I am now in my 60's and finding myself more passionately enjoying creating beautiful things and learning new skills and techniques and products.

While you are here I hope you will find inspiration and ideas for making your own projects, however any images or projects you find here are my personal property and should not be used for your own monetary gain, or for contests or challenges. Thank You!

Bee Happy . . . Card Patterns # 126

I was afraid I wouldn't get this one done.  Not because it was hard, and not because I didn't have the time, but because I've done one so very similar to the sketch a while back, that I didn't want it to come out looking just like the other one!  And, it really did come out looking like the other one, but ya know?  That's okay!  The challenge is to make a card based on the Card Patterns #126 sketch, and here is a picture of the sketch . . .





And here is the card I made based on the sketch . . .





Supplies:

  • Base card stock - DCWV
  • Patterned paper - Lily Bee Designs
  • Chipboard frame - Tattered Angels
  • Ric-Rack and ribbon - my stash
  • Sentiment - SRM Stickers
  • Blue ink - Anna Griffin
  • White brad (top only) - Anna Griffin
  • Clear embossing powder - Ranger Inks


Tools Used:
  • Cricut Expression and Walk In My Garden cartridge
  • Heat embossing tool
  • Scissors, craft knife, ruler, rotary cutter




Cricut Cuts:
  • Card base - Walk In My Garden cartridge, 'card2' set at 5"
  • Floral paper - Walk In My Garden cartridge, 'card1' set at 5"

I really love how well the blue ink matched the Lily Bee Design paper!  The colors are so bright and cheery and happy, that when I found that sentiment, I knew it was the right one for this card!

Thanks so much for visiting, and stay right here, because I have another card coming up in just a few minutes!  Blessings, Becky
