Hi Stampers, today I am participating in my FIRST ever blog hop with Amy’s Inkin Krew. Today our challenge was using something from the NEW Occasions or Sale-A-Bration Catalog. I could not resist the darling bee from Dragonfly Dreams and inked him up for my share today.
Stampin Up Dragonfly Dreams:
Here is the card recipe:
Card Base: Daffodil Delight 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
Mat: Basic Black 4 x 5-1/4

More Details:
- Ink the bee on each square of Whisper White paper
- Stamp three more bees on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock.
- Color the body of the bee with your Daffodil Delight marker or the NEW watercolor pencils. Use the soft sky Stampin Marker to add some depth to the wings.
- Fussy cut the bees that you stamped on the scrap piece of Whisper White card stock.
- After the bees are cut out, attach them to the inked bee on the white squares.
- Adhere all the squares with fast fuse and attach to the long piece of daffodil delight paper
- Adhere the art piece to the card base with dimensionals
- Make a bow with more ribbon and attach with a glue dot
- Add some enamel shapes, candy dots and rhinestones to add some bling to the card ( a must for a Kristi card)
The Inside Details:

So very bright and colorful, Kristi — love it!
That is beautiful Kristi! Your colors are perfect and the three panel design is fantastic. Love everything about it! 🙂
Oh wow, love the bright, happy colors and adorable bees. Your inside is just as perfect! Super card, as always!
The bees look like they are getting ready to fly off the paper. Like I could reach into the computer and touch them!
Oh my goodness! I love this – those bees are wonderful and I love the addition of the candy dots. Perfectly done, Kristi!! 🙂
wow, that is so stinkin cute Miss Kristi and so bright and cheery
Congratulations on nailing your FIRST blog hop with Amy’s Inkin Crew. It’s a great card–you brought those bees to life.
This is so, so pretty! I love everything about it. And that bow is perfectly tied – so impressed (I consider bows my nemesis).
