CLC and Honey Bee Stamps

Happy National Tea Day!  Coffee Loving Cardmaker's and Honey Bee Stamps are collaborating to have a fun blog hop that you are sure to enjoy!  We have prizes of course, but I will share that for later on in the post. ;)

You should have arrived here from the amazing Helen Gullett's blog. 

I have two cards for you today both featuring Tea Time stamps and dies and Perfect Blend Stamps and Dies.  Here is card #1- 

For this card, I started with a kraft background.  Then I die cut this blueprint type die in this bright and fun colored paper.  I popped out 3 of the 4 squares and left the 4th and placed it on the craft paper.  I set it aside and then I die cut the Tea word from a few different greens and put them together.  In the center rectangle I placed the die cut word Tea there then stamped the remainder of the sentiment in brown.  Next I stamped and colored the images using my Copics and then die cut them and placed them on my card.    

For card two, I used my Twisted Citrus distress inks, blending brushes and a stencil to create the light green spotted background. I stamped and colored the images with my Copics, die cut them and placed them on the card. I loved stacking them together and stamping the sentiment below.The strawberry is from the Mae the Mouse set. You'll notice that I used twine to create the string for the tea bag.   Lastly, I added a small flag in the upper left corner using some yellow stripped DP.  I seem to have a thing for yellow at the moment. 💛

Hope you enjoyed your visit here!  Next up on the hop is the fantabulous Dana Warren's blog!
