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 Love...

     I saw a video done by Hannah Jones on the demo Facebook page and fell in love with the amazingly simple card she did with the Eastern Beauty bundle. I couldn't resist casing it TODAY! I sure hope if she sees my blog that she is ok with me casing her awesome card.     Here are the 2 different variations I did with her design.     This first one is just a nice soft yet still bright and colorful take on her original. I have yet to find her card anywhere but the private Facebook group but still wanted everyone to know where it came from!      The list of supplies for this card is pretty basic other than the colors of your choice. I used the Eastern Beauty bundle of coarse but the colors are: Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Mango Melody. You can combine whatever colors however you like with this card. Just Love it!!!      With the second card I used mostly the new 2018-20 in colors: Lovely...

     I want to thank Jackie Aitken for sharing her beautiful cards on the Demo page on Facebook because they gave me the inspiration to make these myself. I love the new bundles and suites in this years catalog. This one is the Tropical Escape Suite, stamp set, thinlits & 6 x 6  DSP. I would love to link so you could all see her beautiful cards but I can't as it is a closed group just for Demo's, but if she ever puts them on her page, Jaxx Crafty Creations ... I will definitely link her cards.      These are pretty simple cards... I just trimmed the 6x6 DSP on one side, trimming off half an inch then on the 6x6 side I cut it in half. Trying not to waste too much of the DSP. The rest is just stamped, cut out and put together however you like... you can see mine are slightly different.

    Right as I looked on Pinterest this afternoon, this card was the first one I see! Just loved it and had to case it today as I am in need of more beautifully simple cards for my Mail A Card Monday I am doing this year. I have been doing pretty good at it so it was a good thing I had done lots of cards early on as I have used up my stash. I haven't been in my card room lately as I have been playing with Fairy Gardens so far this Spring. Using the Serene Garden bundle just seemed fitting 😉 This is a CASE from the card I saw earlier on Pinterest! I changed the color to one of the new In Colors, Grapefruit Grove. Such a pretty color and my favorite color is... orange! I also did the Mirror Image Technique with the bird so it was facing the opposite direction. The easiest way I find to do that is using my Silicone Mat, and I got an extremely clear image. To cut it out I still used the die in the bundle just used the window and bright light and did it backwards. It w...
