Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I found this design piece in my UFO box. I think it was a leftover from a class.
It only took a few minutes to put it on a summertime card.
I didn't use to like bees, but I've learned how important they are to our environment and
worry when they aren't covering my lantana. It seems like they're not as plentiful as they
used to be, but there are always some enjoying it.
Here's the card we did in a 2022 class.
Challenges:

Oh, I do BEE-lieve they are BOTH so cute! I'd bet my last ink pad that was a well-loved class, Bonnie!

I got a freebie bee set with an order a while ago and now I have a design idea for using it thanks to you, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteForgot to say thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy all of your posts Bonnie - I just don't understand how you get the time to make all the cards that you create!

Two lovely cards with that bee. Love the background and design of both cards. I sure your class attendees enjoyed making that second card. TFS
ReplyDeleteThis is a really pretty card using up a piece from your bits box Bonnie, and ditto the one you did at the class back in 2022. I was the same as you about bees but still don't like them buzzing around me but they are important to the environment...can't say I feel the same about wasps though..lol. x
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful Bonnie! Great job. x
ReplyDeleteThe bees love the lantana I have in pots on our patio! These are both delightful summer cards, Bonnie! I like that buttery yellow you used. Always a treat to spot one of your cards in our gallery at JUGs!
ReplyDeleteYou are right, we should be trying to look after the bees and enjoy the ones we see. This is such a pretty little card. I love the stripes in the background and the large scalloped edge xx
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!! :) I love the honey they produce and thing honeycombs are nature's art. I just don't like bees when they sting me! :) Lovely cards, my friend. xx
ReplyDeleteThese are sweet cards! I love the die cut honeycomb piece over the stenciling. The little flowers are really cute on the other card as well. The scalloped edge with the stripes is such a pretty background for your cards. It's always great when you find pieces leftover from something else that you can use up on a new version of a card. Great success on these cards.
ReplyDeleteSweet cards Bonnie. Love that you made the honeycomb stencil from a die!! Thanks for playing along this week at Just Us Girls!
ReplyDeleteBoth are absolutely beautiful Summertime cards Bonnie! My hubby worries about the absence of bees around us too...I think it must have something to do with climate change...grrrrr! It was so fun to talk to you this morning!! We will definitely have to do it again and actually craft together when we do! Michele and I always have a great time together and I know you would fit right in with us! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteSo many fun and wonderful elements, from the cute bee, pretty honeycomb, blended background and your fun wonky stripes -- love this from top to bottom, both versions!
ReplyDeleteTwo bee-utiful cards bonnie - love both versions .
ReplyDeleteIt's just past mid-winter here, and I was working in the garden today and I had a bee buzzing around me! The day was warm, but I didn't think it would be warm enough to bring the bees out!
Blessings

Can this “bee” any cuter? Way to not let the leftover class piece go to waste.
ReplyDeleteJust love both versions of this bee-utiful card, Bonnie!!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fantastic, I love the elements you pulled together.
