Bee Yourself Card

We have made it to Wednesday and I have a super simple card today. I am still using the same papers from yesterday's video.

It is simply two cutes on my paper trimmer. I wanted to break the two blue papers up so I took a scrap of paper and punched it with the SU edge punch. I used the EK Success punch that I showed in yesterday's video for the tag. The stamp set us from CTMH and was the small set on the back of the first book this year. Simple and fast!

Thursdays card is a keeper and Fridays layout makes me smile--see you in the morning

Layered Sympathy Card

Here we are at the start of another week. I will be sharing projects this week using a selection of papers and tools that are budget friendly! I will have a paper review on Tuesday and my goal is to show that you can make a number of projects with the same papers that all have very different feelings.
Today I have a sympathy card.

I used a number of layers and a unique orange and grey color combo. I added some texture to the solid grey layer using the Cuttlebug and folder from the Asian bundle.

Using a EK Success punch, I made a 'top note' of sorts and stamped the sentiment using a Papertrey Ink stamp and the bees from an SEI set. I inked the edges twice--once with a close match orange shade and then over inked that with a dusty grey. I added some herringbone twill tape I had in my ribbon bucket.

Here is a close up of the layers--you can also do a lot with planning the placement of the printed paper--since I was using a paper that had a border print I made sure that you could still see the grey bees which tie the color combo together.

***Update--I have heard your comments about the black type face in the comments and it being hard to read--I did my research and found out how to change it and it should now match the text color of the main post--much easier to read and enjoy eveyone's comments--thanks for the feedback and hope you like the update!

Thanks for stopping by. I usually one post on Monday Wednesday and Friday but this week I have something to share everyday! This weekend crafting came before laundry--
Have a great day!
