Happy 4th! and a just buzzin by trifold card

I hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day, I know I did!  We had a great day with family eating yummy brats, doing lots of sparklers, and watching some great fireworks!  Independence day is one of my favorite holidays as we are quite patriotic and love our great country!  Sadly my husband missed out again this year celebrating with a little off time in the Middle East but hopefully he'll be home with us to enjoy the festivities next year!  

and now.....here is a card that screams summer to me!  I love the new Daffodil Delight color and Pear Pizazz in color!  These paired with Baja Breeze and Real Red just scream happy summer!  Trifold cards are so much fun and I knew right away that I wanted to use the Just buzzin' by stamp set with the zigzag paper in the new Greenhouse Gala designer series paper pack.  So here is what I came up with....

Its hard to tell but I used the Very Vintage embossing folder on the Pear Pizazz cardstock with the colorful bees punched out using the 1" circle punch.  I cut out the honey pots and layered the flowers from the Boho Blossoms punch and finished them off with a real red brad.

Inspired by Sol

I saw this the other day on my bloggin' sister Marisol's blog and just had to try it! So here is my version, you can view the directions from Unique Designs by Lisa. They both made some really cute ones using Cheep Talk! For mine I used Stampin Up's Just Buzzin' by Stamp Set and a retired fathers day greeting. I used To the Nines DSP and used the following colors, Kraft, Yoyo yellow, Chocolate Chip and Summer Sun(flowers).

On a different note, I hope you all are enjoying your Memorial Day and are thinking of our service men and women and all they have done for us. Take a minute to pray for them and remember all of those that never made it home and those that will never be the same.

Have a honey of a day!!!

I made this card late last night for my Sudsol group's Chat & Challenge Sketch!

What do you think?

I started out by picking my colors, I went with the dots from the Good Morning DSP and matched up from there with Pacific Point CS for my base Whisper White CS matted with Baja Breeze CS and accents of Chocolate Chip and Summer Sun! I water-colored the honey pots, cut them out and used a dimensional for the top pot. I punched the bees out with the 3/4" circle punch and matted them with chocolate chip punched with the 1" circle. These are also on stampin' dimensionals. I colored in the bees wings with my white gel pen. I love that pen! I added the chocolate chip corduroy button after tying the middle with linen thread. The summer sun was scalloped and stamped then I tied some chocolate chip ribbon around it and glued it on!

Thanks for looking and Happy Stampin'!!
