Simple & fun card sketch with Honeybee Home

Do you ever use card sketches to get inspired?  I love them!  I find most of them on Pinterest. 

We use card sketches & color combos on my Flowerbug's Team group for challenges & inspiration.  It's so fun to see the different projects everyone comes up with. This is the sketch we're using now:

I used it as inspiration to create this card with the Honeybee Home bundle and the Simply Marbelous designer series paper.

It's such an easy sketch to use.  Some are using card stock, others designer paper and one used ribbon!  

My card is Basic Bray with Bumblebee accents.  Gray & yellow are beautiful together.  In fact one of my bathrooms has these colors! 

The Simply Marbelous designer paper was my color inspiration.  This 6 X 6" DSP is free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through the month of February; or while supplies last.  See it here.

On the video I share my tips on placing these 1/4" strips.  It's a little tricky but entirely doable!

The greeting and flower die are placed on a circle die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here.

See this Honeybee Home bundle here.  The stamp set has pretty images & greetings and the dies work great as silhouettes!

• A Touch of Ink Fun Fold card with Oh So Ombre; quick & easy!

  February 24, 2021

  ---

  We made these pretty fun fold cards at my February card clubs!  I think the A Touch of Ink stamp set is incredibly versatile!  There was an option for everyone's needs.

  I shared this card on my FB Live yesterday plus two others with this paper & stamp set.  You can see it here.

  Aren't they pretty?!  I feel like these two Sale-a-Bration choices go together perfectly.  The Ombre DSP lets the stamp shine though.  You can get either or both free with an order through February 28th.  Sale-a-Bration ends then and there won't be anymore 'free' with purchase options.  

  Go here to see the A Touch of Ink stamp set and here to see the Oh So Ombre DSP.

  I added some of our new Black Matte gems and the pretty Black Glittered ribbon too.  That neat stitched die-cut is from the Stitched Nested Label dies seen here.

• Beautiful Love You Always Foil Specialty paper

  February 23, 2021

  ---

  Last weekend we held our monthly card swap with my Flowerbug's Team.  The theme was to use Specialty paper on their card.  

  The cards I'm sharing today all feature the Love You Always Specialty Foil papers.  Did you know we have two kinds?  A smooth foil seen here and printed foil seen here.  

  This first card was created by Karen G.  She used both specialty papers with the Always in My Heart bundle. The Floral Heart dies are gorgeous!  I love the heart and that banner!!! 

  Save

  This next beauty was created by Candace. She also used both of these pretty specialty papers along with the 'Love You More Than' dies.  The embossing folder is the Parisian Flourish 3D seen here. 

  Save

  And lastly, this striking card was made by Mary.  She combined the Love You Always paper with the True Love DSP.  

  Save

  She fussy cut the flowers from the True Love DSP and colored them with Blends markers.  The Best Wishes is from the Art Gallery bundle. 

  Aren't my gals talented though!

  *Remember that if you have a nice wish list February is a great time to whittle it down!  You can choose to order as a customer and earn free Sale-a-Bration items or get the Starter Kit option and get 25% off a $125 order.  And then get 20% off all further purchases!

• Creative Cards Simple Sketch #CC2

  February 22, 2021

  ---

  Get inspired by sketches!  You can find them everywhere online; especially on Pinterest.  Just search for card sketches and you'll be amazed at the great layouts you'll come up with. 

  I've started a weekly challenge with my Flowerbug's Team where I share a card sketch or color challenge.  I'm calling them Creative Cards or #CC.  Here's the one we did last week: 

  Save

  And here's the card I came up with.  

  Save

  I chose to use the Playing with Patterns designer paper and a new product that's coming out to everyone in March.  It's called Butterfly Bouquet and it has gorgeous Designer Paper and a beautiful stamp & dies bundle.  The stamp & dies will be out in the upcoming 2021 Annual Catalog in May.  But they're releasing it early in March!  

  Demonstrators can order it now in February. On the card above I used mostly the DSP with just one purple die-cut. The greeting is from one of my favorite greeting sets; Happy Thoughts.  

  There are now just 7 days left of Sale-a-Bration!!! 

  That means you have one week to either purchase the Starter Kit deal (seen below) or get free stamps or paper!  Don't wait!
