Hi Everyone - I must say that I love this little bee - I think he's a cutey!! You can find Bee Hive Larry over at Digital Delights by Louby Loo along with a lot of other great digital stamps. I wanted to make a card with Larry because when I bought my first Cricut machine several years ago, I downloaded a file to be used in Design Studio that will cut a honeycomb pattern in the card. I had always liked the file but had never used it. Kinda like alot of the "stuff" I have in my Happy Space. But I digress!
I cut this card using my Cricut Expression. The cut file uses George and Accent Essentials to cut the cardbase. I colored two of Larry and his honeycomb using Promarkers, then cut them out and pop dotted them for dimension. I added a bumble bee brad above the honeycomb. Very simple but still very cute!!
I think I'm going to make him into a Thank You card for a friend of mine. Maybe I'll put the sentiment of "Just Beeeecuz" on the outside and on the inside "You're as sweet as honey!" Too cuuutttee!!!
I've had the cut file for several years and do not remember who made the cut file and who I downloaded it from. So if it's yours, thanks so much!! If you would like the cut file, please leave me a comment and I'll send it to you!
Challenges I will enter this card in:
Crafting For All Seasons - Fall Colors
Scrapbook Sisters - Autumn Colors
Anything Goes Challenge Blog - Anything Goes
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! Please come back tomorrow and bring some friends with you! Until another day, God Bless You!! Donna
I have been working on my "Woman Cave" today. Actually I'm working on getting more room in my sunroom at the same time. I have a computer in my sunroom that I'm going to move out along with the desk in order to have more space when family visits. I can't wait to get this done. But on to why we have this blog. Making fun stuff.
I have a harder time coming up with masculine cards than I do for ladies. This one I made for my son's birthday.
I used Tiny Mosaics Cuttlebug folder to emboss the front of the card. Embossing adds so much to your creations. I cut the labels using Accent Essentials Cricut cartridge. I cut 3 different sizes and stacked them and added the brads, which are K&Company Rough & Tumble Hardware Brads. I then popped the completed label with adhesive dots.
For the inside I cut a birthday present from the Stamping cartidge and wrote my message to him on it. You can also see from this picture the pop dots I used on the label to make it stand out.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a blessed day. Peggy
