Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers Wildflowers

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week the challenge is to

Make It Girly

We're showcasing Honey Bee Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

You can join 5 times so you could have 5 chances to win! How AWESOME is that!! All winners are chosen randomly, so everyone has an equal chance to win! Woo Hoo!! Good Luck to everyone!

I used gorgeous Honey Bee Lovely Layers Wildflowers and Wooden Crate Die Sets

I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to color and added a few little Paper Rose Honey Bee Die Cut Daisies in there too (very handy to have). For the background I used a Simon Says Stamp Cubical Illusion Embossing Folder (LOVE this!!) and a Doodlebug Gingham-Linen Petite Prints 6x6 Paper Pack.

I added a few Irridescent Clear Drops, a May Arts Ivory Twine bow and a sentiment strip to finish.

So now it's YOUR turn!

Honey Bee Lovely Layers Spring Birds Die Set

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week the challenge is

THINGS WITH WINGS

We're showcasing some gorgeous Honey Bee Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

You can join 5 times so you could have 5 chances to win! How AWESOME is that!! All winners are chosen randomly, so everyone has an equal chance to win! Woo Hoo!! Good Luck to everyone!

I used a gorgeous Honey Bee Lovely Layers Spring Bird Die Set. I love that this Spring Bird can also be a Christmas Robin! The set also comes with a flying bird, so I will be back later with a card using that one too, maybe a dove carrying a spig of holly or mistletoe instead of an olive branch ;-)

I used a fabulous new Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Craft Tacky Mat to hold the die cut pieces in place and then simply blended with Vintage Photo and Barn Door Distress Inks. For the background I used a Simon Says Stamp Good Reading Cling Stamp, splattered with Black Marble and Gold Shimmer Inks, and a Tim Holtz Festive Gatherings branch. I finished with a CZ Designs Reverse Christmas Sentiment Strip and some May Arts Gold String.

I love circular cards and I have to say that I love how this turned out! It's simple enough to be a mass production one too!
