Paper Rose Bees and Butterflies

 Today, I'm sharing a fun card using products from the Bees and Butterflies suite of products from Paper Rose Studio.

And there's a special surprise when you open the card! I adhered the printed and die cut honeycomb to the inside of the card. I cut a piece of acetate into a spiral with scissors, then attached the centre of the spiral to the inside front of the card, the outer edge to the inside back of the card, then attached die cut bees to the acetate spiral.

Easter Cards for Hero Arts

 Today, I'm sharing two more Easter cards using the Charming Easter collection from Hero Arts. 

I made one panel using the Asana stencil, White Pearl Hero Paste and Metallic sprays. After it was dry, I cut the egg shape from it so that I could make two cards - gotta love a good two-for-one!

Japanese paper hello

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support! 

My friend, Sharyne, went to Japan YEARS ago (possibly decades) and brought me home some beautiful sheets of Japanese paper. I have hoarded them ever since. Occasionally, I bring them out and admire them. Even more occasionally, I will use some on a card. That card must be simple in design, because I don't want to mess with the paper!

One more card using things from my UFO pile for Donna Lewis' Finished In Feb challenge! This was a very quick card to make - the yupo panel with a rainbow of alcohol inks was already in my UFO pile, as was the die cut heart. The sentiment is a foiled and die cut sentiment that I have pre-made (I have heaps of them in ziploc bags!), so all I needed to do was adhere these to a card base and add some embellishments! Easy peasy!

 Today, I'm sharing a card made from leftovers! (I don't know about you, but this looks like a rainbow football to me.) I used stamps and dies from Waffle Flower, and cardstock from Hero Arts.

Here's another card I made to join in with Donna Lewis' Finished in February challenge! I had this die cut panel in my UFO pile (held together with some Press n Seal), so I added some ink blending and some die cuts (and glitter and shine never go astray!)

Stay Crafty - daffodils

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support!   

 

This month's Stay Crafty Challenge with a Blog Named Hero is "Build me up, Buttercup" - use a floral image. I've used the February layering stencils of the month , along with a sentiment stamp from this month's Hero Studio kit. This layering stencil sold out within 2 days of release, so I've made a 2nd card that is a CASE of the first, using older products from Hero Arts.

 My friend Donna set herself a challenge to go through her UFO pile (UnFinished Objects) and make some cards with them. I have an embarrassingly large UFO Pile, so I'm joining in with Donna! 

I found amongst my UFOs a panel of watercolour paper that I had stamped and white embossed with a background stamp from Impression Obsession. I added some colour with Zig markers and sprayed with water. I cut the panel in half (gotta love a good two for one moment!) and added a die cut and layered sentiment from Paper Rose.

 On Wednesday, I shared a card using a rainbow of cardstock cut and arranged using the Sun Rays Die from Waffle Flower. 

You didn't honestly expect me to stop at just one, did you? 

For this card, I highlighted the sunrays using faux stitching, and added a sentiment die cut from glitter cardstock. Some black enamel dots were the finishing touch!
