Bee Hive Card with Beth

Hello crafty friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties with you today sharing this bee hive card.

This card was solely inspired by some new papers I got!  The DCWV Watercolor Garden stack had these amazing bee inspired papers in it and I knew I had to make something with them, so this card was created!  The file I used from SVG Attic is from the JGW Blooming Card kit.

I distressed the cuts with various colors of Distress Inks to add more dimension to the card.  I kept it pretty simple, only adding a few sequins for embellishments.

Here is a look at the kit that I used:

Spring brings Mother's Day!

Hello SVG Attic Fans! I-Team member Sonja here with a Mother's day/spring project. Mother's day is a day I rarely remember! I know, bad. I am usually way more excited to celebrate other holiday's that are aimed at other people though!

I decided to make a happy little Mother's day gift, using Gaby's Garden and JGW Blooming Card Kit files.

 I love Gaby's Garden because of the little shovel, the flowers/pot, and the hat that is in the file. 

 Since I already did the hat for an Easter project though, I decided to switch it out for this great card. 

 I like the that tools are able to be removed from this card. I just like to have some movement with my cards so this satisfied that need! 

 A little tip. Knowing that I wanted to arrange these to stand up in a bunch, I took a dozen q-tips, painted them green with my eBrush and the centers whatever color I wanted for my flower and arranged them that way instead of using paper.

Dreaming of Spring ~ with Cyndy

Today I chose the Watering Can from SDS Water Wishes and the Garden Apron Card from JGW Blooming Card Kit.

I used Graphic 45, Once Upon a Springtime again.  I am in love with this paper.  Everything you make with this paper turns out beautiful.

I used the flat daisy also from the SDS Water Wishes, to accent the watering can.  I left off the upper handle because I plan on using this as a gift bag.

I used a chip board frame that came with the paper pack on the spout and a chip board tag.

I love this apron card.  The gardening tools come out of the pockets.  They are so cute.

If you know someone who loves gardening any of  these projects would make the perfect gift!

I hope you have enjoyed my project today.  Here's to hoping spring comes soon!  I am tired of the cold weather.

Do what inspires you,

Honeycomb Gift Box Tower

Hi, It's Allie and I'm excited to share a fun gift box project today using the JGW Blooming Card Kit with SDS Basic Deep Lid Boxes, shown below.

SDS Basic Deep Lid Boxes

JGW Blooming Card Kit

I made three of the hexagon boxes, reducing each layer to 75% of the original size.  I chose the hexagon because it looked like honeycomb to me. I kept the bee the original size. This project takes 2 sheets of paper and some scraps. You'll need some patterned paper, and some solid cardstock. I used scraps for the bee wings and the black backer on the bee trail.

Here is what the files will look like when you are ready to cut. I've just colored to make the images easier to identify.







And here's my Honeycomb Gift Box Tower.

I decorated with some flowers that I spritzed with Gold Shimmer Spritz. I attached these with Hot Glue. Each flower is glued to the base of the box OR the lid, so each layer can still open.
The bee trail is glued to the lid of the second box.

Here is the view from the back. It's a little boring!

And here are the layers opened. I did glue each lid to the base below. I felt it made the tower more sturdy.

Fill with treats and enjoy. I think this would be a perfect little gift box for someone's birthday, or a great centerpiece for a table - you can make the boxes as large as you'd like, and stack as many as you want!

Here are some pictures of the work in progress. I double inked the patterned papers using Rich Cocoa Memento on the edges, and rubbing in some Peanut Brittle Memento on the box and the patterned papers as well, to tie the color scheme together.

You can see the difference using the two colors - the yellows weren't a great match, and the Rich Cocoa really helps the panels to pop.

I inked the edges of the bee's wings with Summer Sky Memento and added some glitter.

Thanks for joining me today.

the BUZZ with the JGW Blooming Card Kit

Hi, Allie here from My Card Party with a card from the JGW Blooming Card Kit.

This fun Blooming Card Kit has so many cute cards, along with an envelope.

I made mine as shown, changing up the colors so it's a little more monochromatic.

I double distressed the hive with Peanut Brittle and Rich Cocoa inks. The Peanut Brittle was kind of rubbed on, where the Rich Cocoa was sponged on, a little heavier in some places. I also used some Canteloupe ink to bring out the dots in the cardstock. I pop dotted almost everything at different heights. The wings on the Bee are inked with Summer Sky and glittered.

Supplies:

Blooming Card Kit (shown above)

Cardstock, Inks (Memento Inks from Imagine Crafts), Glitter, Adhesive

Bloom Where You're Planted - A Mini Album

Hi everyone! Allie Gower from My Card Party sharing a mini album I made as a gift using Jodi G. Warner's Blooming Card Kit.

The kit actually has this as a card, and I really didn't modify anything, just added adhesive carefully, allowing all the layers to function as pockets. I especially love that Jodi left room in the very front pockets with some clever box pleats to allow for bulkier items.

I created some easy tags and note cards to match the project. I used lots of ink and paint to distress the edges of everything. The sentiment "bloom where you're planted" was created using a Chomas Pen Holder with a Memento Marker. The font is called "Champagne and Limousines" and it's one of my favorites.

Inside, I created a smaller outline of the actual card base and added the flower that comes with the card kit, along with a plain mat for another photo. More pages can be added, and photos or journaling could also go above on the top flap.

When I purchase a kit, I love to have lots of options. The kits at SVG Attic are so versatile and fun to use in new and exciting ways.

Supplies:

JGW Blooming Card Kit

Cardstock (White, Yellow, Tan, Dotted)

Memento Luxe Inks: Northern Pine, Peanut Brittle, Morocco, Toffee Crunch, Gray Flannel (Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko)

Memento Marker: Tangelo (Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko)

Flowers (Wild Orchid Crafts, Prima)

Hemp (Craft Supply)

Adhesive (Beacon's, Thermoweb Tape Runner, iCraft Tape)

Thanks for joining me today. Until next time, happy crafting!

Floral Grandma Card with Beth

Mother's Day is on Sunday and I made this special card for my husband's Grandma.  She is such a wonderful and giving lady!  I consider her my Grandma too :)

I used the Blooming Card Kit from SVG Attic to make this.  I made the flowers in the colors that she had for her wedding 57 years ago!  I inked all the edges of the die cuts with tan and brown chalk.  Plus I added dimension to the petaled flowers by gently bending the edges of the petals up.  You can see that better in the picture below.

I created the Grandma sentiment in my cutting software and finished the card off by adding brads to the sentiment banner and neutral colored sequins for a little shine.

If you make any project using SVG Attic files, don't forget to link it up to our May Anything Goes Contest!  There are awesome prizes up for grabs!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
