Happy Beeday to you

 Hello crafty friends and welcome!

I'm popping in with a card

I made over the last couple of days.

(Crafting and carpel tunnel is not a good mix.)

I made a shaker card!

I've had these adorable bee shaker bits for at least a year

and finally decided to crack open the package.

(Yes, I'm a hoarder of craft supplies. No judging. LOL!)

The first thing I did was blend a darker shade of 

yellow ink in the bottom corner of my

card base using a hexagon stencil.

I die cut the main panel using a

hexagon die, along with two smaller

ones from some paper scraps.

After I glued acetate behind the

large die cut, I added foam strips on

the back of the panel, sprinkled some of

the shaker bits in the space, and carefully

adhered the main panel onto the card base.

The sentiment and bee images were stamped, colored and cut,

then I adhered everything else.

I gave the bees a coating of glitter drops for some sparkle.

A simple sentiment finishes the inside of my card.

That's it for now. Thank you for visiting, and I

hope you have a great day!

clothing. That's right, it's a STEAMPUNK challenge!

I relied heavily on the designer paper I used on my card:

Here's the inside:

I love it when the paper does all the heavy lifting! 😄

A clockwork owl? Yes please!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #234 - Y is for Yo Momma

 

Hello and welcome back, snarky peeps!

This fortnight's challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS

celebrates all mothers for Mother's Day!

I usually make a pretty card for my Mom,

but this year I decided to go the snarky route:

I used some family themed paper for my background,

then colored one of the ATC's from the

Retro People ATC package.

My sentiment is computer generated.

A simple sentiment finishes the inside of my card:

I hope that you find some time to play along in the Yo Momma challenge

at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

For more inspiration, please do check out what my sisters

and our reigning Queen, Mia,

created for your viewing pleasure!

Thanks for stopping by.

Wishing all Moms a very Happy Mother's Day!
