What's the Buzz All About?

Happy Thursday, crafters! Ashley here from Made Especially For You, and today I'd like to share with you a card I made as inspiration for our current "Onward and Upward" challenge:

The sentiment and the adorable bee are from the "Buzzing Bees" stamp set, and both are stamped with Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black. I cut a few clouds using a simple cloud file from the Silhouette store and embossed them with my Cuttlebug. Lastly, I inked the edges of the clouds with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass, and adhered the clouds to the card base with pop dots.

Hope to see you playing along in our challenge!

Thankful - CAS Style

Happy Wednesday!

 

I wanted to share with you a CAS card I created using Blue Moon Creations' Buzzing Bees Stamp Set.

 

 

I used sequins and paper trim from Doodlebug, and stamped "Thankful for You" from the stamp set in Wild Honey distress ink. 

 

Get Inky's current challenge is still live.  Head over the blog and enter your creation.

Song Challenge 13 Inspiration: Jewel Akens The Birds and the Bees

It's my day to post inspiration to get those creative juices flowing for the latest challenge at the Get Inky! Challenge blog! The challenge is to create a craft based on the classic Jewel Akens song (Let me tell you 'bout) The Birds and the Bees.

I enjoyed creating this love scene to match the elements of the song using Get Inky! Stamps.  The bees and the heart are from the Buzzing Bees stamp set. The flower, and the word "love" are from the Love Bugs stamp set. Both are available on Etsy.

For more information, please visit my blog. I hope you create a masterpiece to enter into Challenge 13!

Happy Friday!

 

 

  I am in the middle of stripping and repainting the front room of our Victorian home.  But in the midst of all the chaos, I wanted to share with you a card made using the Buzzing Bees (8X12) stamp set by Blue Moon Creation.

 

The stamp set has a 'Thankful for You' sentiment.  So I inked part of it to get the tag. 

 

 

The Happy Birthday sentiment from the inside is also from the set. 

 

The ribbon is from a Secret Santa crafty gift.

The rhinestone are from the Paper Studio.

The paper is from my stash.

Memento ink used with the stamps. 

 

Have a great weekend! 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday!

Thankful for you Ba-BEE

Good day everyone! It's La-Vie and I'm here to inspire you to join our latest crafty challenge. Challenge 6: creations for boys and/or men at the Get Inky! Challenge blog. I hope you consider joining in this challenge.

Presentation is everything! So I decided to create a tag to match the card I created for my husband for father's day. The tag had to be large for the huge coffee mug I'm giving to my "Ba-BEE" (pronounced Bay - bee). Did you guess that I used the massive Buzzing Bees stamp set? With over 50 stamps in this set, it's an amazing value. Not only does it have many "bee" sayings it also has several holidays covered and sentiments.

To learn more about how I made this tag, the matching card and some essential tips and tricks, please visit my blog C'est La-Vie Designs Unlimited, LLC.

Have a crafty day!!

Glitter Inspiration with Tonya

Happy Friday!

Tonya, from Scrapping Fun with Tonya, here with a bit of inspiration for the Get Inky! Glitter challenge.

Be sure to head over to my blog to get the details of how I created this little card. 

 

Design Team Inspiration

Hello Scrappy World!  Tonya here to share with you my take on the Die Cut Challenge at Get Inky! 

 

My die cut bee is a file from Scraptastical Kreations.  The bee was perfect for the Blue Moon Creations Buzzing Bees Stamp Set.  The sentiment I chose from the set is one piece.  So, I inked the half that I wanted to be able to seperate the phrases.   The bee's face is a face stamp from Peachy Keen Stamps.  I inked it in white so that it would stand out against the papers.  The flowers on the yellow strip are from the Buzzing Bees Stamp Set.  I spruced them up with Black Diamond Stickles, of course.  =) 

For more details and pictures, please head over to my blog.

I used the Buzzing Bees set throughout this project -- bees, sentiment, even the flowers.  This stamp set is {HUGE} and has so many possibilities.

Here's another angle that really shows off the adorable bees:

CAS with Get, Inky! Stamps

Hello, Get, Inky! fans! It's Jessi here from Kissin' Krafts. Today I am super excited to share a card I made using the Sew Sweet Cupcakes and Buzzing Bees stamp sets.

As you may know, the current challenge over on the Get, Inky! Challenge blog is Flowers. So I created this very simple card that would be perfect for birthdays or even for Mother's Day!

To create the stems of the flowers, I used the cupcake wrapper ribbon stamp (from the Sew Sweet Cupcakes) and taped off one side during the inking process. When I was ready to stamp, I simple removed the tape and stamped the image.

I really  love the flowers the stamps create when you use the back of the flower stamps in the Sew Sweet Cupcakes stamp set. Once I stamp the flower backing, I used the dot stamp to create the center of the flowers. Last, I used the outline flower stamp to highlight the flowers a little more.  

The simple sentiment is from the Buzzing Bees stamp set. To add dimension to the card, I added the sentiment on foam dots, to make it pop off the card.

Thank you for stopping by today! Hope you all will hop on over to the Get, Inky! Challenge blog and share your flower creation!

Don't Worry BEE happy!

Hi! My name is La-Vie Borde-Perry and this is officially my first post as a design team member for Get Inky! Stamps by Blue Moon Creation! I'm so excited! I've been learning a lot and having fun already!!!

Here's my life in a nutshell: I'm a wife, mother of 2 and entrepreneur. 

I began scrapbooking in 2005 when my daughter was born 10 weeks premature. I was struck by an urgent need to document her life. My father, a professional painter and artist, always took many pictures and created albums with detailed info on the picture backs. I never knew I had the 'artist gene' until I started scrapbooking and journaling. My crafts are my heart and soul displayed for all to see. They are works of art that evoke emotion; sometimes laughter, other times tears. I consider myself to be an all-around crafter that will try any type of craft at least once. 

My style is clean and simple. My favorite techniques are stamping (physical and digital), masking, using Tim Holtz Distress Ink to create backgrounds, dry and heat embossing, coloring with Copic, Tim Holtz Distress or watercolor markers, mosaic layouts, paper piecing with die cuts, using flowers, ribbon, bling or glitter to add that wow factor. In my layouts, the pictures are the star, however I love to set the scene in order for those pictures to shine.  

Friends urged me to turn my passion into a home-based business in 2011. Thus, C'est La-Vie Designs Unlimited, LLC was born. I love to create custom, unique crafts for clients. One of my top three crafty goals for 2013 was to join a progressive design team to showcase my talents while meeting many new crafty friends. I'm so glad to serve on the Get Inky! Stamps Design Team by Blue Moon Creation. Let the inspiration begin!

There's still time to join in on the current Get Inky! Stamps challenge Fabulous Floral Fun - use flowers in your project. I really let my creativity fly on this one to inspire and entice you! Get Inky! Stamps offers flowers in both physical and digital form but I wanted to show you how to get more out of the stamps by creating my own flower. The stamps I used were the bow in the Joyful Jar Drinks set, the curved ribbon in the Sew Sweet Cupcakes set and the bee and sentiment from the Buzzing Bees set. For more information on this card and a detailed tutorial with pictures please visit my blog.

I Can't Help Pollen for these Challenges :)

Hey Everyone! 

Sarah here today to share a quick cute card I made using the current challenge's theme!!

I love the Buzzing Bees set! There are sooo many different sentiments on it that can fit with just about anything! My dad needed a quick card to give my mom and this was so easy to whip out.

If you have need for a quick card, this is a must for go-tos!

To see details on the products I used to make this set come visit my blog.

Just BEE-cause...

Happy Friday! Ashley here today to share with you some inspiration for our current Fabulous Floral Fun Challenge!

One lucky winner will receive a sample stamp set from Get Inky! and EVERYONE who enters the challenge will receive their choice of THREE digital stamps - how awesome is that?!

I made a treat bag for the challenge using a few stamps from our Buzzing Bees stamp set. I love how versatile the set is!

So easy to make, and the stamps work great! They're stamped in Memento "Tuxedo Black" ink. More details about the treat bag can be found on my blog. I filled the treat bag with lemon drops - and boy am I glad there were extra left because I've been snacking on them like crazy. Maybe I'll just have to give the treat bag to myself... :)

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you linking up!
