Incy Wincy Challenge - make an EASEL card

    Good morning!!!! 

This week the Incy Wincy Design team has a GREAT  challenge for you...make an EASEL card! There are a ton of tutorials online for a variety of easel cards, here are a couple to get you started:
ONE - Splitcoast Stampers
TWO - You tube video
THREE - pinterest

I've made a ton of square/rectangle easel cards, even dabbled with some circle easel cards....but thought I would try a DIFFERENT shape this time!  I googled a bee hive shape, printed it off and cut it out in the pieces I needed for my easel card.  Wasn't as difficult as I thought!!!  AND I think it turned out cute! I could have done the black lines a bit better..........but really...is a bee hive perfectly straight???

I have used Winter Honey Bee from Lacy Sunshine - one of our sponsors this week!!  She is what inspired me to make a bee hive Easel card!!! The sentiment is computer generated.  She is coloured with Copics and the only embellies I used are a scrap of bee ribbon I'm glad I saved and a tiny little flower button!!!  Not sure it needs anything else, do you???

  
And a side view:

 Now that you've seen my card,  head on over to the CHALLENGE blog and see what the rest of my teamies have done!!!!

Have fun and good luck!!! I hope you'll join us this week! If you do, you could win a GREAT prize this week!!! WOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Welcome back to another DTBST!!!!!   

For this challenge you are to create a CHRISTMAS project ..... BUT...... you can't use RED or GREEN!!!!  So lets see those non-typical Christmas cards & projects!!!! 

So, here is my card for this challenge. 

This card is for my brother who is a huge Trekky!  The sentiment says Merry Christmas in Klingon.....thank God for Google!!! LOL 
The chipboard ornament was spritzed with Glimmer Mist and then some silver stickles were added.  I know Uhura is supposed to be in RED, but since the challenge states NO RED, I put her in blue instead!!!

Dare to be SASSY Thursday........... Veteran's Day/Thank you

Hey everyone! 

Welcome back to another DTBST!!!!!  

 For this challenge you are to create a Veteran's Day card - or something that shows pride in your country - colours, flag, military, etc.  I don't really know any Veteran's to give a card too, but I decided to make one using Air Force Honey and just make it a general Thank you card.  

Even though I'm not American, we celebrate our Canadian Veterans on Nov. 11 and we call it Remembrance Day.  It is a Statutory holiday in Canada so we get the day off of work (well, most people do!!) I imagine it is the same elsewhere too, so if you're off work today (or if you're not - I won't tell!!), please take a moment to remember all those men and women who have sacrificed SO much for our freedom.  

So, here is my card for this challenge:

COME join us over at the SSD Challenge blog & you can win some great images!!!!!   
Thanks for stopping by!
