Bee HappiLeaCraftin with Tamara

     I finally had a chance to play with the Blended Seasons Bundle that is exclusively available only for August and while supplies last! This is a great bundle for any season or occasion really... just find the right sentiment and away you go 😃  Click the shop now button and get your own before they are gone for good!       The first card I did was a Sympathy Card for a friend who lost a loved one. I wanted something simple yet pretty and also wanted to use the Stitched All Around bundle. Also a very versatile set, Stampin' Up! is coming out with quite a few in my opinion.      There isn't really much for instruction for this card... It's pretty straight forward, but I will do the best I can to explain how I did it.  The flowers were colored with the new water color pencils that are also available for a limited time as of yet. I just colored in the center and used a blender pen to color it out a bit.  I fussy cut them out ...

     It is so exciting! Stampin' Up! has come out with a new tool for all us stampers, it's called the Stamparatus and it is going to be an amazing tool. I can see myself using it all the time! I am just hoping that I can get one with what Stampin' Up! is trying with it...      They are trying a new Reservation system with this tool, I think to see what the demand will be like. The first Reservation window was the 16th of November and it didn't last very long. I think it was only open for 10-15 minutes and closed again. It is a high demand tool already 😉  The next window to Reserve is December 5th at 2 MT so make sure to be ready!      Go to the shop now badge here on my blog to create an account with me then just log in a little early so your ready on the 5th of December and follow the steps to Reserving your very own STAMPARATUS! Be one of the lucky ones to get it early to show it off 😊      I'm sad as I may not...
