Bee happy!

I'll have to say that More Mustard is not one of my favorite colors, but it's perfect for these cards!

I love the Chocolate Chip double stitched ribbons. . .delightful!

Just buzzing by to say. . .have a honey of a day!

I got this stamp set on pre-order. I don't know if I would have purchased it normally but it's really cute and I'm having a great time making these cards. All of these cards use Old Olive, Chocolate Chip and More Mustard and/or Summer Sun.

The bees get glitter on their little wings, and the honey dripping from the pot has Crystal Effects so that it looks REAL.

The flower has Crystal Effects on this one as well!

Okay, this turned out to be one of my favorites. Easy and simple though!!

More Valentines!!!

I think this one is my absolute favorite. I *LOVE* this new Designer Paper. It uses Kiwi Kiss and Pink Pirohuette. If I had enough pink brads, I would have included this in this month's Love You Much card class.

Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss. With a coordinating button, and a little taffeta bow on the corner to balance it out.

Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango and Black. Love the vibrant colors. I'm *so* not a pastel color gal. . .

Same color scheme. This one has dots made with the white gel pen. If you haven't tried SU's white gel pen, then you have not tried the very best. I have tried bunches of them, and this one far surpasses the rest.

Uh, yeah, same colors. What can I say?!

Happy Valentine's Day to you!!

This card uses Pink Pirohuette and Bravo Burgundy cardstock. The lovebirds are coated in Crystal Effects to add dimension, and the scallop edge punch makes a wonderful bottom edge.

Tangerine Tango and Pink Passion with a touch of black for drama. I love these double striped ribbons in the In Colors!!

These lovebirds are stamped with Craft White ink and layered with Crystal Effects. A button adds dimension. Here's a hint, instead of trying to jam a ribbon through the button holes, use a short strip of cardstock. It easily coordinates, is a cinch to get through the holes and is always handy.

I love this Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon because it has such a very cool white edge. I think it looks terrific and have already used one full spool of ribbon and am near the end of my second! Kiwi Kiss is the fabulous green on the card.
