Simon Says Stamp July 'You Shine' Card Kit

The fabulous new Simon Says Stamp July 'You Shine' Card Kit is in the loft!! :-) 
Woot Woot!!! 

I have made 2 cards to share today

For this first one I used the gorgeous Flower Garden Emboss and Cut Folder, that is in the kit, for the main focus. 


I cut it out of Black Card Stock and used a little of the Gilded Foundry Wax and my finger to add a little to the highlighted areas.  I thought it would make a lovely little shaker element so I popped some of the Vintage Lemon TwistPaper in there along with a few sequins.  I used more of the paper for the background and added a torn wedge of vellum to soften it up a bit. 
I heat embossed the sentiment from the You Shine Stamp Set and fussy cut.  


and I used the leftover strip of paper to decorate the envelope, that was also in the kit 




For this 2nd card  I  decided to add a little Starshine Glitter Gel, thant was in the June Kit, to the patterned paper using a Dot Fade Stencil. I used one of the gorgeous Window Frames Baseboard, which is also in the kit, to add a little element for the bee to sit on ;-) 


I have to say, I just love this kit!! It's  Bee-utiful!! haha see what I did there ;-) 


and this is the kit in all of its beautiful golden glory!

Love both of your cards... love he torn vellum and the shaker on the first card. Your second card wherein you used a stencil on your patterned paper for the one background panel for your bees. This card meets our requirement at Double Trouble for creating your YouNique Technique background and would love you to enter in Double Trouble's challenge teaming with AHSC. Please join us and look forward to seeing you there.
