Hello Darling Peeps
Today's creations were inspired by blogs wanting us crafters to use dies.....well....like loads of you out in the world I have more than I need of said dies. So once I started looking through them it seems that I just kept on creating and creating. The blogs I am participating in are:
So without further adieu these "Bee Happy" cards were created with lots of dies in mind. I am not sure about you but when I put effort into cards I like the recipient to be able to use the card in some other manner. This always stretches my imagination and the bee hive is a magnet for the fridge or wherever else it will stick.....washer, dryer, freezer.....you get the drift.
I used dies for the background- Stampin' Up hive, the scalloped edge- another Stampin' Up Big die, the bee and wings, hive and the background circle.
The hive was cut from chipboard and doodlebug primary colours pad in yellow. The hive was two hives glued together and then magnet cut in the same shape to easily glue to the back of the black hive. I added flowers to the corners to help make the hive and bee stand out.
When the backgrounds were cut there were so many hexagons that it just seemed like a great idea to use them on the inside of the card. I had covered the paper with black striped washi tape and they were already decorated so a little glue and voila- inside of card is prepared to go.
I hope these inspire you to make something with your dies too. when I started these I thought a couple would be enough but I ended up making 4 in total and they are such a sweet card to send for any occasion. They were super fun to make and I encourage anyone to give it a roll.
Happy Crafting' Peeps
cheers Y'all
