Bear Hugs

Hi Artzy Friends!

Today I have a card for you that I created with the Honey Bears stamp set. This sweet set is all about bears, honey, and bees, and is perfect for so many occasions.

I created a bib card, using a precut card base. 

These bears are fun to color to coordinate with pretty paper from the All the Buzz collection.

The little bee is super cute too. I added some sparkle to his wings, although I don't think it photographed very well.

Sending you all (Bear) hugs! 

Be sure to join the current month's challenge on the Dare 2B Artzy blog. The theme is In the Garden, and you will have a chance to win a $15 gift card if you enter.   

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!

It's time for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop, and I am excited to be participating with Dare 2B Artzy!

I'm missing my friends right now, so this cup of cheer goes out to all of you virtually!

Puppy Kisses Thanks

Hi Artzy friends!

Today I am sharing another card I created with the Puppy Kisses stamp set. This sweet little pup can be used for many different occasions.  I needed a thank you card and this was the perfect image! 

I was fortunate that one of the first dogs my dog groomer chose to take care of once she was able to begin working again after the quarantine was mine. I have been much more worried about getting her groomed than I was about my own hair! (I just have an inch wide gray stripe at my part - it's fine! Haha!) 

This cutie looks a little bit like my dog at her "fluffiest" 

The word "thanks" is actually adhered to the inside of the card, and peeks through a little window.

I hope you are all staying safe, and staying Artzy!

Dare 2B Artzy May challenge - In the Garden

Hi Artzy friends!

This month's theme for the challenge on the Dare 2B Artzy blog is "In the Garden."  Check out the details here and enter to win a gift card from Dare 2B Artzy!

I have two In the Garden themed cards to share with you. The first one is a Mother's Day slimline card I created with the Flowers for Mom stamps and dies. The flowers in this set are so much fun to color in whatever colors make you happy! I was feeling very "citrusy" when I created this card! Haha!
The sentiment is from the Bouquet 4 You stamp set.

My next card was made with the flower pot image from the Bouquet 4 You stamp set.

I created a simple watercolor background and stamped the image in black ink for a quick, fun, no coloring required card. I cut my watercolor panel and turquoise layer with the Rectangle Fancy Framelits dies.

I hope the month of May brings lots of beautiful flowers to you! 

You can find many floral images and other stamps that remind you of the warmer days ahead at https://dare2bartzy.com/

Bee Yourself

Hello Artzy friends!

I hope you are all staying safe and healthy, and getting lots of time to craft, (and mail those cards!)

Today's card is a fun one using the new Buzzy Beez stamps and dies.

I layered three die cut circles, two of them from some pretty paper from the All the Buzz collection , using the Double Dot Circle framelit dies. 

I then sliced the circle into three segments creating three semi circles and adhered them to my card base.

After coloring the bee, I added some shimmer to his wings, popped him up on my card using foam tape, and added my sentiment.

You can find all of the Dare 2B Artzy products here.
