Just Us Girls #692 - Word Week

 Our Lovely Lisa is our hostess this week at Just Us Girls for our Word Week Challenge and she has chosen the Word Bee to inspire us.

Hop on over to JUGS to see all of the Bee creations by our amazing Guest Designer, Greta Hess and the rest of the talented Design Team.

I went with a mini slimline using an unbranded honeycomb die that I inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen.   Stamped, die cut and colored the little bee from Concord & 9th Be Mine stamp set and added Stickles to the wings.  Stamped the sentiment and die cut with a fishtail die and put it all together on a SU Barely Banana card base.

Come on over to JUGS to welcome our new Guest Designer, Greta Hess who will be joining us for the month of August.  Now check it out to see how these colors inspired Greta and the rest of our fabulous Design Team.

I saw this technique over at Splitcoaststampers and had to give it a try.  Added the hollyhocks which were colored with markers in this week's challenge colors and added some green leaves which were colored by swiping Distress inks in greens direct to the leaves.  Added the sentiment from Gina K in Memento Nautical Blue.

 It's CAS Week at Just Us Girls and Ina is challenged us to use 3 of something on a CAS creation.

Come on over to JUGS to see the fabulous CAS creations by our talented Guest Designer, Kristin Sluhan and the rest of the amazing Design Team.

I was in need of a quick graduation card and here you go.  Stamped the star from a Gina K set 3 times in a row (my MISTI made this easy to do) then colored with alcohol marker in yellow.  Stamped the sentiment from another set and heat embossed in blue.  It needed a little something more, so I used a clear Sakura Stardust gel pen to add some shimmer to white area on the stars and yellow Wink of Stella to make those stars shine.

Using Concord & 9th's Be Mine stamp set.  Stamped the jar of jam once on white then again on a pink striped scrap and paper pieced it onto the jar.  Colored the lid with a pink marker and the jam in the jar with a Glaze Gel Pen.  Stamped the striped piece with Hero Arts Raspberry ink.  Die cut some small hearts and colored with the same Raspberry ink.
