Bee HappiLeaCraftin with Tamara

     I loved the look of these awesome little Narrow Note Cards when I saw them in the Stampin' Success Magazine that we Demos receive in the mail every quarter! They are so good to us Demos by giving us new ideas and instructions for some of the projects as well... this was one of them!      I also learnt an awesome new and extremely simple technique that I can't believe I never thought of... To get the cool 2 tone look of the flower and leaf image, you just ink in your lightest color first and then use a sponge dauber with the darker color and just daub it on where ever you want the other color 😃 it's GREAT! I will definitely be using that in MANY more cards!      Other than that little tid bit of info... I think the card is pretty ease to CASE from here. If you have any questions though, please don't hesitate to ask 😊 Product List Big Shot [ 143263 ] $150.00 Big Shot Magnetic Platform [ 130658 ] $49....

     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.

     I was finally able to get my Sale-A-Bration rewards and was so excited to get up to my card room to use them and I found myself using one of the other ones I already had! I had only got a couple of the 2018 Pre-Order items and the one I decided to go with was the one my Daughter wanted... So glad she wanted it 😉 The Sea of Texture bundle is absolutely beautiful!      As usual, I head over to Pinterest and see all the beautiful creations everyone comes up with and it makes me fall in love with so many more bundles than I originally liked in the first place. I try to pace myself though and not go overboard 😂... I know... I made a funny! But I do try.      I came across these beautiful cards by Kayla Macaulay , part of the Stampin' Up! Artisan Team. There is a reason they become part of that team, their cards are just amazing! I just had to CASE her beautiful cards. Changing a few small things of coarse but non the less, she was an amaz...
