Bee HappiLeaCraftin with Tamara

     I missed a couple birthdays throughout August and September so I decided I would spend an afternoon and get them all done! It would have taken me a month of Sundays if it weren't for Pinterest and all the wonderful people who post their projects for people like me to CASE. I don't know how you all can do such wonderful things, a great imagination for sure! Maybe one day I will be able to come up with an idea of my own 😂      Anyway... Here are the 4 cards I did for my co-workers Friday afternoon! They were all cased from awesome pinners on Pinterest so thank you to all you wonderful people!      The first card I used a retired Thinlit that I wish I knew the name of! I inherited it from my Mom's stash of supplies and it isn't labeled... I was wrong! I had looked it up and wrote it down... Smart Me! It is the Hello You Framelits. I did use a current product that I am finding to be one of my favorites... Stitched All Around that I origi...

     I had seen another Demo had done her own DIY for storing her Stampin' Blends along with the old Blendabilities Stampin' Up! used to have. I really liked her idea and decided to give it a try for myself. I didn't need it to be as big as what she did but used the idea for mine. The original idea is by Cathy Pinchbeck and I seen it in the Facebook group Demonstrator Planning Place! An amazing group of Demonstrators always ready to help in any way they can! I don't know if she posted her project on her blog but here is the blog to check out anyway!      When I posted my project to the group, everyone asked for instructions... There really aren't any exact measurements as it all depends on how big you want yours to be. Mine is half of what hers was. So using the Acetate Card Boxes, I stacked 9 high and hers was 2 wide as well. You can see mine isn't quite full but it will be soon enough. I am really liking the Blends! I didn't think I would but I have com...

     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 ...
