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!

Don't forget, there are prizes.  Winners will be picked from across all participating blogs, the more you comment, the more chances to win....

Prizes-  Honey Bee is offering two $30 Gift Cards!  Commenting open until Friday, April 26 at 11:59 pm and a winner will be announced on both the CLC + HBS blogs on the 27th. 

Thanks for you visit today.
