Bumble Bee Pocket Letter

Hello friends! Today I have a bumble bee pocket letter to share with you. I have used all kinds of CDD goodies throughout my project! I made this one for my Sis who got me hooked on the whole Pocket Letter idea! I went with her to a meet up and got to meet Janette Lane the founder and creator of the Pocket Letter. She was so sweet and pretty! I had the best time, met some talented crafty ladies and got so many goodies!!

Most of the cards were cut using the new stitched rectangle from the Pocket Pieces Hi Dies. I also used my Cricut for some of the die cuts, The mini tag hanging on the side is from the Cricut Creative Everyday cards cartridge.

The tags in the first row are from the Fancy Frame Dies and the Pocket Pieces Hi Dies. The sentiment is from the Just Bug-cause stamps. The little bee is from the Pooh and Friends Cartridge, the honey pot is from the Just Because cartridge, the center bee is from Paisley & the bee holding the gift bag is from Birthday Bash. I glittered up all the wings with either wink of stella or stickles.

These bees are stamped, embossed and colored with my Spectrum Noir markers. I used the Just Bug-Cause and Lil' bit Buggie stamps. The Hi is from the Pocket Pieces Hi Die. The honey is from my Martha Steward Drippy Goo punch. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the honeycomb pattern. The Bee Happy is from the Just Because cartridge.

The bee background paper was made using the sweet little bee from the Sending Love stamps. I doodled the little trail. The speech bubble is from the Mix It Up Dies and the sentiments are from the Just Bug-Cause and Lil Bit Buggie stamps. The shaker was made with the Silver & Gold sequins. The cute little bee is from the Give A Hoot Cartridge.

Here are all the goodies I used and you can find these

When you flip the fence back you can see that I used the stitched Outdoor Landscape Dies for the background layers.   I colored all the images using my Spectrum Noir markers.  I used my Cricut for the banner and stamped a sentiment from the CDD Hey Pumpkin stamps.

 On the inside I used the CDD Fancy Frames Dies for the inside layers and stamped the sentiment, pumpkins, and leaves from Autumn Wishes and the Farmer's Market stamps.

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge- Day At The Beach

Hello my crafty friends! Today I am so happy to be a Guest Designer for the:

To see my Design Team project for Exploring Cricut and More 

"Crafter's Choice" Challenge keep scrolling or click here!

I am so excited to craft alongside with some of my favorite bloggers! 

Here is the card I made for today's "Day at the Beach" Challenge and

I used several Cricut Cartridges to put it together.

For the card base I used white card stock and the Art Philosophy Cartridge 

and cut it at 5.25".  The card layers were cut at 5.0" and 4.75". 

The card stock is from DCWV- Fun in the Sun Glitter stacks and papers.  

I used Life's A Beach  to cut the chair at 2.75", the umbrella at 3.75", 

and the beach ball at 1.0". I hand cut the sand layer with 

some sparkly textured card stock. 

The Bear is from the Animal Antics Cartridge. I cut him out at 2.75". 

On the cartridge he has a fishing pole but I gave him some lemonade instead.

I got his cut from the Just Because Cartridge and cut it at 1.0". 

I added a little pink tongue! The sentiment is from the Craftin' Desert Diva's.

I decided to decorate the inside so I cut some more layers 

and added the sun from Create A Critter. I inked and stickled to add 

bling and some depth.  Thanks for coming by to visit and I hope you

enjoyed my project. Don't forget to stop by The Fantabulous Cricut
