Instagram Discovery Hop - Beautiful Bees

Hello and Happy Sunday!  Wow, the last day of the month, where has the summer gone?  It will soon be time for school start ups, Autumn and then Holiday time!

Today, a group of talented crafters are hosting a Just for Fun Instagram Discovery Hop.  The theme of today's Hop is Honey / Bees and you can start the Hop HERE on my IG page.

The premise of this Hop is to dig through drawers, root through hidden piles, open those bins and find what has been forgotten about. I encourage you to try this; instead of buying new products, take a look at the treasures you already have.



For my project share, I remembered I had the lovely stamp and coordinating die set "Beautiful Bees" from Gina K. Designs; illustrated by the sweet and talented Melanie Muenchinger.  I love Honey Bee images and they are always in style.  I went with a black/white with 1 color theme.



To keep my scene sweet and simple, I stamped a few hexagon shapes using Catherine Pooler inks; die cutting 3 of them to pop on craft foam for dimension.  The bees were die cut and also popped on craft foam.


The sentiment has been stamped directly on the card panel using a stamp positioner because I don't trust myself to get it straight!  Lastly, a skinny gingham ribbon, bow and gold iridescent sequins were added for additional interest.

Please hop along with us for loads of inspiration using re-discovered items from our stashes.  This is a monthly Just for Fun Hop with a different theme each time.  If you have an Instagram Account and are interested in being a stop along the Hop next month, contact @craftwithme101 on Instagram for all the details.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies Anything Goes Challenge 2115

 Hello and Happy Monday!  Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies with a theme of Anything Goes and Jan's Digi Stamps as the generous sponsor.

For my design team project, I had the pleasure of creating with one of Jan's lovely Honey Bees images.  The image is part of a set that contains 8 images and 6 sentiments.


I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, used snippets of designer card from my stash and a sentiment from the Spellbinders Wonderful Spring stamp set.

Please stop by Pammie's Challenge this week for your chance to win some gorgeous images from Jan's Digi Stamps.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
