Bee HappiLeaCraftin with Tamara

     I had seen a few cards done in the last little while done with a black base... They really look sharp so I wanted to give it a try! I had just got my Meant To Be bundle order so thought that was a perfect time to try 😉 I did 2 different takes       The first one I tried was this one using the Grapefruit Grove foil paper in the 2019 Sale-A-Bration catalog. I wasn't quite sure about it but I got some good feed back when I posted it to the Exclusive Demo Group on Facebook. Everyone seemed to think it was o.k. so I guess I will believe them 😂      On this one I used the Heart Epoxy Droplets to give it just a little something more. The Card Stock and the foil paper are a pretty good match in Grapefruit Grove so I didn't want to put the foil paper over the card stock. Adding a few of the hearts back to the cutout looked really nice too.      I do however think I like my second attempt better! I love the look of the Lovely Lipstick color with the black a little better, j

     I have to say I really missed Mojo Monday when they quit 😔 but was super excited to see them back posting again! Posting every 2 weeks instead of every week, I'm o.k. with that because I used the sketches to help inspire me sometimes when I just couldn't get started. She is just posting from her own blog instead of the Mojo blog. Its great cause you can see her beautiful cards and projects as well and get inspired that way too!      This weeks Mojo Monday sketch is number 507 and can be seen HERE as well as all the cards posted by those who are playing along... I am hoping to figure out how to get mine on there! But for starters I will get it posted to my own blog 😃      This one strictly uses the Share What you Love Suite. I didn't get the great big package when it was available as a package deal but I got some of it. I'm not a big Flowery person so I don't buy too much flowery stuff. I do get some stuff though just in case there is a time to need it.

     I was finally able to create a wonderful Valentine Card... well... I made it for a Valentine Card but it could really be anything you wanted it to be! I used the Dear Doily stamp set so the inside says Words Can't Express How Much You Mean To Me so really... that could be used for a number of other occasions.      I found my inspiration for this card on the Demonstrator group for all Stampin' Up! Demos. I love the group as everyone posts such beautiful cards and you get great feed back on your posts 😉      I would love to link you to the card that inspired me but I can't, it is strictly for Demos. But i went to her page and found her card! Her card is much different but it was what helped me find my inspiration to do this one so I like to give credit where credit is due!       I like to post where I get my ideas from as I am a CASEr so if I get inspired by it, so might you, and you might even just like mine 😊      Most of the supplies I used for this card are
