Make it Cute WLSC mid month

 Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping. This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Mervi of   

Make it Cute

 

With 2 prizes each of two House Mouse stamps

 

 

 

Cute?  I didn't know what to do for my mid month card, so I went with digital stamps and found this little HoneyBee, who I love, but haven't used before, although I had him in 2017. Anyhow, I had some hexagon dies, and I decided on this digital image of a House dripping in honey for the background. However, I decided it would overwhelm him, so I added plain vellum over it to dilute the strong colour it has, then cut both with the die. They were attached with a spot of glue on each corner. 

 

I looked through more dies to see if I had one I could emboss, and this was the closest to a hexagon. It was embossed, the hexagon was attached, then I thought another hexagon for the sentiment, I stamped the sentiment, then thought, it needed some honey mess around the edge of the layer. I didn't mean for so much, but went with it. Both were added to the embossed card and attached to the base card.

 

Honeybee was cut in 3 layers with Silhouette. I then coloured him with DI's. I added some glitter pen to him and his wings. He was then added to the card, I decided he required some companions, so I found some bee stamps, coloured them and added glitter pen, fussy cut them and placed them onto the card.

Comments

In the last few weeks, my comments have been short and sweet, if I got a chance to make any at all. I have done a few DT posts in advance though.

The reason, is my darling hubby of 59 years is receiving chemotherapy.  I won't go into details, but I felt you needed an explanation for my absence and lack of comments.

Please pray for him.

Thank you.

Well I had to use a HM stamp didn't I? I die cut the card square layers, then stamped the images and sentiment. I used DI's to colour them all. Next, I used a glitter pen on the candles and the hat. The bottom layer card was swiped with the pink over the edge, I didn't want a full colour and quite like the effect. They were glued together and attached to the base card. A simple and easy card. And easy for the post too.

 Hi Everyone, my card today is for

I had a card to make for our neighbour, so went looking through stamps and my digi stamps and found Ted. I've used him a couple of times, and cased one of my cards here, our neighbour loves his garden, it was for his 82nd birthday.

I took Fred into Silhouette and cut him 3 times, the background twice, in case I made an error, you know I hate fussy cutting!  I coloured the background in DI's, adding a few bushes in the garden, then some grass and sky. All layered onto a die cut circle. Ted was coloured, and the 3 layers glued together and added to the background.

  Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for -

Critter Crazy

 Anything Goes but they MUST feature a critter as the main focus 

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 

Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter.

 

I had this stamp sitting on my desk for over a week, deciding what to do with him. I looked online for some ideas and found a saying, which meant I went straight to the stamp knowing what to do, the longest time was making the envelope and framed saying.

I stamped him on a piece of card I had in my scraps box, then decided on a different for me, generic background. Next, I stamped the "dots" and used DI's in masculine autumnal colours to blend over them. He was coloured in the same colours apart from his crop. I used 3D glaze for his beak and eyes and white pen for the cere, I didn't know the name of it, so I looked it up! I then stamped some birds to keep him company. He was attached to red card and onto the base card, that I had stamped with the sentiment. 

Seeing as he is a homing pigeon, I added the envelope and message he brought home. The envelope and saying was done with Silhouette, printed then cut and scored. I then placed the saying inside the envelope and attached it to the card. His eyes were then 3D glazed.
