Happy Bee-Day!

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card that I made for the current

Keep Calm & Celebrate On challenge.

I recently pulled out the 5823 – Christmas Cars Set and fell

in love with the little Beetle.

What better way to decorate your BEEtle, than, well, with a BEE!

The bees, leafy vine in the lower left hand corner

 and the sentiment are from 5925 – Honey Bee Set.

I spelled BEETLE out with 5562 – Journal Letter Die Set.

I'll be honest guys. I lose things. My biggest fear when I 

ordered this set was losing a letter and having an incomplete

alphabet. My solution? Order two more sets! lol!

Yes, I have 3 sets and I store them on a magnetic sheet in

alphabetical and numerical order. Die cutting words goes SO

much faster now and if I do end up losing one, I'll still be 

able to make all the words.

This card is a little busy for my normal style...busy as a bee...

ha ha...get it? I'll show myself out...lol.

Seriously though, I don't normally make cards quite this busy

but I do really like it. It's my favorite colors, green and yellow

and it has bees, so how can you go wrong?

Punch Bugs make me SMILE!

Hello Ai fans! 

I've been having fun with the Never Have I Ever
challenge going on right now on the blog. There
are still a couple days to enter. You could win a
free stamp set.

I have had the 5823 – Christmas Cars Set since last summer
but just used it for the first time. It's so cute! Also, as you can
see, it's not just for Christmas.

The second item on my cards that I have never used
is the 5902 – Mini Scalloped Frame Dies. These little
frame dies are the perfect size for so many Art Impressions
images. There are multiple dies so you can adjust the size
of the opening.

The flowers are from 5936 – My Hope Set.
SMILE is from 5797 – Little Things Sentiment Set.

I put WOSC Wink of Stella Glitter Clear Brush Pen – Clear on

the windshield so that it had a more "glassy" look. The cute little

flowers on the bug are a tiny stamp in the 5925 – Honey Bee Set.

There is an easel to attach to the backs of the frames so that
they are free standing. What a great little piece of art they create.

The papers are from 5873 – Mini Birthday Journal Paper Pack
and 5940 – Journal Cover Paper Pack – Plaid.
