Hap-bee birthday....quilled bee

Good morning
I am almost finished showing the cards I made for the honeybee festival last weekend so thanks for checking back each day.

I think this little bee is a cutie patootie. He almost looks like he is running and just needs arms to get going faster. It's definitely my favourite style of bee I've made...maybe googly eyes next time if they will stay on.

Mother's Day Revisited

Hello everyone

I have ooooodles and ooooodles of cards that I have made over the years so I thought I would start sharing some "oldies but goodies" with you.This is a very simple mother's day card I made last year to sell at The Essential Packaging Store. It is a snap to put together and it uses up some of the mountains of scrap paper we all have on hand.

This how I made it
Using scrap paper and pages from an old book, cut 4-5 circles of graduating sizes (just rough cut) and crumple each one (try spritzing the paper with water to loosen the fibers). Next, nest the circles together and add a couple of buttons on top.Then sew the "stack" so they stay together...also I don't like the look of using buttons without thread. Next print or stamp a sentiment on your card and add a co-ordinating strip of scrap paper and glue the circle flower on with... dum da da dum.....ZIP DRY. You can change each one up a bit by using different paper and by adding ribbon.

Supplies used

•  scrap paper
• paper from an old book
• card stock
• buttons
• ribbon

Thanks for checking in today.
