Stampendous Happy Bee Day - birthday card

Hello blogging friends!

I made a quick little birthday card which I plan to send to my SIL in a week or so.

As you may have noticed, I'm still playing with my Kraft cardstock - oo, I do love the stuff. I don't know why it took me so long to "discover" it when it has been really popular for ages. And to think that I threw out a whole pack of Kraft card blanks about a year ago thinking "I'll never use them....."!! Isn't that always the way?!! Anyhow, onto my card details......

This cute little bee and the sentiment is from a clear set by Stampendous called "Happy Bee Day". Here is a little pic of the set:

I coloured the bee with my usual pencils and OMS, then lightly chalked around the image with blue chalk. I added some Kindyglitz to the bee's wings and the party hat. I punched some tiny pink hearts using my EK Success Arrows border punch - you know how I love those tiny little hearts on my cards if you a regular visitor to my Blog LOL - and I added Kindyglitz to them too.

Here is a close-up photo of the bee:

The embossing on the Kraft cardstock is a Sizzix Textured Impressions Flowers embossing folder from the Dots and Flowers set which I ran through my Cuttlebug. Then all I did was add the pink and white twine and do some corner-punching. Easy peasy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to my Blog

Hi - I'm Jocelyn from Victoria, Australia. Thanks for having a peek at my Blog. Hope you enjoy your stay and please don't be afraid to leave a comment - I LOVE reading them and then I can come and visit you too. All content on this blog is copyright to me. Since February 2012 I have been caring full-time for a family member diagnosed with a life-threatening illness so my posting isn't as regular as I would like it to be.

None of my cards are for sale and I am unable take part in image swaps nor stamp images to share - nor do I do Commissions. My enjoyment is solely to make cards to give to friends and family: I just LOVE making cards :-)

I do hope that my cards give you inspiration to make your own but please don't take my original artwork and copy it exactly the same for publication in a magazine, contest submission, challenge blogs or for personal monetary gain eg: E-Bay, Etsy etc.

You are NOT permitted to use any of my cards as samples to help sell any of the products that I use on my cards or projects on any website eg: EBay, Etsy, Online Store etc. as this will infringe my Copyright as I am the intellectual owner of said artwork. Use of my cards without my permission will be reported to the website in question for Copyright Infringement so that they can take the appropriate action required by law. If you do not understand the implications of breaching Copyright Law, you would do well to verse yourself of this information to protect your reputation as a Seller/Store Owner/Website owner.

Feel free to CASE (Copy And Share with Everyone) one of my cards for personal use ie: not for competitions, publication or where you would gain financially - but please make a couple of simple changes to make the card reflect your own input and personality eg: brads instead of buttons, different papers or border punch etc. and please include a link back here to my original card as a matter of kindness and courtesy. I have a watermark/web address on my cards to help you remember where it came from.

Feel free to share my cardmaking projects on Pinterest. If you hover over my photos with your mouse, a Pin It Button will appear and you can pin my project which will include the direct link.
