It’s Friday…it’s the weekend! WOOT-WOOT! It is amazing what can be done in a 24-hour span…yesterday my husband and I made the trek to Boston to get our son settled in his new city…new apartment as he starts a new job!
Today’s card is another card to brighten my 2nd cousins day! Many thanks for so many kind emails on your thoughts and prayers for him…he has a long road ahead but one thing that he loves is cards!
This is the 1st time I have used this stamp set and I was so excited to use it! If this little guy won’t make you smile than someone needs to tickle your feet for a good laugh!
The Bug Me Stamp Set is anything and everything you want it to be! Just put your “fun and creative hat” on and make a critter happen!
Pick a color palette out that you want to work with and go to town! Today I used Crumb Cake, Whisper White,Night of Navy and the fun new Crushed Curry! I wanted to use the crumb cake envelopes so this was a perfect fit!
I first stamped my guy on the white card stock before pulling out my main man, Mr. Big Shot, and using the Window Frames Framelits – a whirl of a turn and presto…a perfect image!
Using the scraps I stamped out the “wings” in Crumb Cake and using the BEST scissors in the world, I free handed cutting the wings! Investing in great cissors will make your projects SHINE and save you lots of FRUSTRATION!
I stamped the body in both the navy and curry and layered them on top to give some POP!!!
Wanting to add more color, I popped out 2 more of the Window Frames in the Crushed Curry and just placed them on either side of the critter! I just love this look…how about you?
You can see that this is a great example of less is best and the card is just clean just as it is!
A Regal Candy Dot on the edges was the perfect touch of a balance!
Before adhering this whole piece that has Stampin’ Dimensions on the back….I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to get the sweet sentiment from the Four You Stamp Set in a perfect position!
The new Designer Series Papers that are from each color collection are just fabulous! This liner comes from the Regals Designer Series Paper and they are such a fresh and fun addition to the Stampin’ Up! Products!
Speaking of fabulous…how about the Envelope Liner Framelits…you know I have many ways of lining envelopes but this works great and a perfect fit every time!
I know that when Matthew sees this card, there will be a smile on his face! I am excited to come up with more fun ideas using this stamp set!
Please let me know how you like this card…I sure do appreciate your comments and I do try to answer back to you! It is a great feeling that there are “cyber friends” all over….probably someone here in Boston!!!
Shoot me an email or leave me a comment!
Tomorrow’s card is all about L O V E!!! Another card for Matthew to let him know that many love him…truly a brave person!
Enjoy the day and until tomorrow!
p.s. – sorry for the photography….I did my posts for several days in advance and the hotel lighting is not the best….but trust me….this is an adorable card….what do you think?!?!
I totally agree! TFS!
Adorable card and sure Matthew will smile. Awesome idea with the window frames.
Very cute card for any age! It instantly makes you smile. Love the colors too. Continued prayers for Matthew. 🙂
This could be the cutest thing ever. Let me see if I can find something cuter…nope. This is it. I don’t have this stamp set, but I feel so enabled now. THANKS!
Super cute card
Oooooooooohh….how stinkin’ cute! I just love that bee. You are so right. He made me smile. I so love the layering. Just an awesome, awesome card. I also love that you popped his belly up. So cute! Thanks you so much for sharing! Awesome detail, just fabulous!
I had seen an ad once that said “What’s buzzing cousin” and I have been wanting to make a bee themed card for my cousin that I E-mail some with. That would be cute on this card too. I think the ad spelled cousin as cuzin or something too. I love the colors you used. Have a safe trip back home. Many thoughts and prayers your way.
Oh so cute!!
