CCEE: Honey Month!

 Hi friends!

There's a new challenge at the CCEE Stampers this week:  

September is Honey Month!

This week the challenge is use that in any way as your inspiration ~

honey, bees, bears, even stamp companies that have honey in the name!

I went with the latter ~ Honey Bee Stamps!

I really love their stamps

(and chose it for my One Plus Twelve challenge this year!)

Earlier this week, SCS had a card challenge using the theme of 'brick'.

I haven't had a second free to make any cards other than 

for The Project Bin

so I did the next best thing ....

quickly checking my stash from The Daily Marker challenge!

I adore the Honey Bee Stamps Blah Bunny 

and had it colored and die cut in a binder of images 'ready to assemble later' :)

The card base was a super simple brick stencil

and Ranger archival ink in coffee, blended in just a section of the cardstock.

Last, I used a funny saying from blah blah blah 

to represent how Mondays can be!

 Be sure to stop in the CCEE Stampers blog
to see what the rest of the DT made this week
with lot of HONEY inspired projects!

Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

Blah Humbunny!

Hi friends!

It's time for another challenge with the CCEE Stampers,
but this will be our last challenge for 2017.
We're taking the rest of the year off to enjoy the time

with our family and friends over the Christmas Season.

 We will be back in January 2018 with more challenges, cards and inspiration!

Today's challenge is short and sweet:
Create a card based on your favorite Christmas stamp!

Oh. me. oh. my!

Favorite?
No way to pick a favorite, especially with a Christmas theme ~
I have so many!

I was so lucky to win a very generous gift certificate from Honey Bee Stamps
recently and bought several stamps sets on my wish list ♥
Thank you, Honey Bee Stamps!
I had already bought Blah Bunny during release week awhile back
and I was excited to see they have a Christmas version out now 
called Blah Humbunny.
It's such a riot and I knew I had to get him to go with my Blah Bunny ♥

The minute my package arrived,
I knew I was going to make a card for my brother with this set.
We have the same sense of humor and were two peas in a pod ~
and now he's so far away~ Bah humbug indeed!

 For my card, I made a simple card base with a spellbinder circle die,
and added some gold glitter paper behind it.
It's just as easy to add a circular one to the front
{originally this was going to be a shaker card!)
I stamped, colored and fussy cut Bah Humbunny and the santa hat and gift,
all from the same stamp set and popped those up on 3d foam.
The final addition was embossing the sentiment with ranger embossing powder
and versafine ink and some 3d foam.

The inside is very informal with one of the sentiments: Missing you
along with part of the image stamped again.

If you're wondering what the other design team's favorite Christmas stamps are, you can see them here on the CCEE blog.
It will take you to each of their cards and blogs.
And, if you'd like to play along, remember to use the keyword CCEE1750
in your post and link back so we can find you!

Big hugs, bigger blessings!
