Bright Vintage Queen Bee

Hello stampers and welcome to my blog! Today I am sharing what I call a bright vintage Queen Bee card. The feel is definitely vintage but the pop of Crushed Curry does make it a bit brighter than traditional vintage. This design is from Laura Milligan who also designed this stamp set as a Million Dollar Achiever. I loved making it!

A Few More Queen Bee Cards

I really do love the word “beloved” in this stamp set. I’ve used it in the background for my sympathy cards and that really tugs at my heartstrings.

For this square vintage card (it measures 4 1/4″ by 4 1/4″) I layered it with vellum cardstock, smoky slate and crushed curry cardstock. The details in the background come from Ranunculus Romance.

Colour Refresh

Today is the day that we find out about the colour refresh. My advice would be to order the ink refills and cardstock of the colours that you love that are leaving and do so as soon as possible. I am sure that some will sell out very quickly, so this is a time when you do not want to procrastinate!

Thanks for joining me today. As always, the products that I have used are listed below. A simple click on them, and you will be in my online store in Canada. If you live in Europe you can shop with me here or join my team.

Have a super day!!

Hello stampers and happy Monday to you. Masking Paper and Blending Brushes add up to a lot of fun AND some pretty awesome cards. I will be teaching these cards tomorrow in person and I am so looking forward to that. Today I also made one of these cards for my weekly Cheer Corner which is live on Facebook every Monday at 10am EST or 4pm Central European Time.

Three More Cards with Masking Paper

I must admit that I used our retired layering ovals dies to make the mask for these cards. Here’s hoping that they end up in our new annual catalog on May 1!
