Kitty Bee Designs #108 - Thanks!

Hi Friends! I hope you've been having a lovely week so far! I've had lots of fun creating projects lately and here's one more for you!  It's time for the midweek inspiration for Challenge #108 over at the Kitty Bee Designs Challenge Blog - Aloha Friday!

Challenge #108
Thanks

Super big thanks to our sponsor for this challenge

and

Sasayaki Glitter - https://www.etsy.com/shop/SasayakiGlitter

For my card today I'm using this adorable koala digital stamp - Winter Kiddles from Sasayaki Glitter. He'd also be super cute on a Christmas card! I pulled out some pretty wintery paper from my stash and coordinated the blues and greys on the image coloured with Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers (alcohol based). I found some little diecut snowflakes and SpiegelMom Scraps sequins in the same colour scheme and used them on the card along with some pretty lace and bakers twine. I had a diecut thank you sentiment in my stash that someone sent me in some happy mail and thought it would be perfect as a wintery thank you card! 

I used one of my favourite embossing powders - Winter's Mistake, from Emerald Creek Craft Supplies to add some glittery snow around the edge of my matted diecut, cut with a Spellbinders Nestabilities die and on top of the diecut greenery branches. The silver brad in a Bobunny flower matched just perfectly too!

Inside, I used a wonderful stamp from Pretty Pink Posh, some more snowflake diecuts and SMS sequins.

Kitty Bee Designs - Honey Bear Twist Turn Birthday Card!

Hello! I'm popping in to share this cute Twist Turn birthday card using the adorable Honey Bear image from Kitty Bee Designs that I'm sharing on the Kitty Bee Designs blog today. My sweet niece Emily turns one this week and I thought she'd love this card! I printed this sweet digi stamp on Kraft paper and coloured her in with Jane Davenport coloured pencils before adding some white highlights with a Dylusions paint pen. I found a number 1 sticker in my stash and added glitter and Glossy Accents to make it pop on the honeycomb background paper.

I used the YouTube Twist Turn Card tutorial to create the card base. It's a neat fold and pops when you open the card! I had a mini CTMH stamp set with the little bees and hive that I pulled out to use on the card base. I love how the blue and yellow honeycomb papers are not from the same collection, but work together because of the patterns! I used the blue flower to coordinate the colours as well.

Inside, I used a stamped sentiment from two Your Next Stamp stamp sets and a few more SMS sequins. Perfect for a little girl who is turning 1!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful week.
