Bees and Flowers Card

At HM Ben Franklin Crafts I spied a sweet 6 x 8 paper pad (Bee Happy) of bee and flower themed double sided card stock made by Doodlebug.  I purchased the paper pad and a package of matching die cut pieces (173 pieces!).  Unlike the normal 6 x 6 paper pads the sheets in this pad can be folded to become  4 x 6 cards with pretty designs on the inside too!  There were lots of die cut images and words to choose from so it was pretty easy to layout a card design.  For a little extra pizzaz I made a shaker heart element using Spellbinders heart dies.  I filled the heart shaker with flower confetti pieces (Sprinkletz available at HM BFC).  I love how this little moving part adds so much to the charm of this card.  (It did take me a long time to pick out just the green, yellow, blue, and white confetti flowers. Hahaha!)  (The word ephemera banner, " Enjoy The Little Things in Life" was from a Photoplay pack available at HM BFC.)

I found a piece of bee printed paper in my scrap bin that was just the right size for a tag so I made one to go with the card.  The ribbons were purchased from HM Ben Franklin Crafts for another craft project but I think they are perfect for this tag, too.

Bees and flowers are so summery and crafting with them makes me very happy. My mind is already 'buzzing' with ideas of what to make with the 12 x12 Photoplay bee paper pack I purchased too.  So much summer crafting fun!
