Thankful | Honey Bee Stamps

 

I picked up some of the newest Honey Bee Stamps collection via Ellen Hutson LLC.  This card was inspired by Dilay Nacar + Jessica Frost Ballas:

I'm a fan of non-traditional colors and went with a pale peach to rust color combo for the Lovely Layers Sunflowers.  I'm pretty sure I need to collect ALL of the Lovely Layers collection.

That Autumn Splendor A2 Cover Plate is GORGEOUS.  The details are wow.  I used Dilay's technique of doing a bit of an off set with a darker color under the white panel and then a pale cardstock as the base.

The sentiment is from Bitty Buzzwords Fall Honey Cuts.  I used the same color cardstock as the sunflower.

National Coffee Week | STAMPlorations + Trinity Stamps

 

Did you hear that we're celebrating National Coffee Week over on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog?  We will be sharing sponsored posts so there will be inspiration + prizes!  Today we're featuring

STAMPlorations +  Trinity Stamps

I'm playing along today and sharing a project that features each of the Super Sponsors.  Up first is STAMPlorations:

I combined:

Coffee Cup - Large by Shery Russ

Literary Caffeine-ations by Becca Cruger

Some of you might recognize the paper...I'm using my much hoarded Basic Grey 6x6 pads.  What's the sense of hoarding?!

That sentiment CRACKS me up.  Check it out, STAMPlorations is having a SALE:

Next up is Trinity Stamps:

I recently picked up their Coffee Cut & Foil Die Set.  I love the bold lines!  You can literally Die Cut & Foil or just Die Cut or just foil.  

The word sentiments are from their Happy Hour set.  It has been heat embossed in copper.

Yup, the paper is still from Basic Grey.

Warm Winter Fuzzies | Mama Elephant

 

I love the Mama Elephant - Hot Cocoa set!  I picked it up from Ellen Hutson LLC.

Spun Sugar

Picked Raspberry

Wilted Violet

I made the center strip into a shaker element with Pretty Pink Posh - Iridescent Star Confetti.

My color palette was inspired by the Color Hues Challenge:
