CeeCee's Creations

mod marcie meets chap

good tuesday, dear blog friends!

today's card was such a pleasure to put together. mainly because i colored with my copics which i hadn't done in a long while. i created this card for scrapbook centrale and if you're interested, there's a video about it here.

so here's the card:

it's an outer stair step card made with with the new American Crafts's Chap collection. i love, love, love this new collection. the colors and patterns are awesome. the stamp is Mod Marcie from La-La-Land Crafts and i love her so much! she reminds me of my Stuuphie-Stuuph (in case you don't know, that's my daughter). of course, it wouldn't be a CeeCee card without glitter -- she's even got eyeshadow :D

stay positive

although the sun is shining on the snow right now, it's a bit of a gray day in this household today. my husband just got laid off - they actually laid off the whole division so many people are in the same boat. i guess the recession is still going strong and i pray for better news for all the families that are affected by this decision. i choose to remain positive and am confident that it's a sign of something better to come for him.

to counterbalance that, i want to post something shiny!  it is my quirky way of saying "pooey" on the bad mojo :-)

here's another card that i made a while back but never got around to posting it. it is made with the same Glitter Ritz i've been using in my last 2 posts and video but using a different technique.

there are many layers to the butterfly. the shape was die-cut through a layer of cardstock and sookwang tape. then we cut around the body on both side so that we could offset the 2 wings "masks" and apply the brown glitter on both ends. then, we put the wings back into place and uncovered the body to add some brown glitter as well. the next step was to cascade different shades of blue on the wings. uncovering one wing at a time, we laid out some die-cut flourishes and added the 3 different colors of blue glitter. we repeated on the other side. and to finish it off, we removed the flourishes masks and added green. of course, the burnishing process had to be done on all the layers as they were laid down.

it was a "fussy" process but the effect is stunning.

have a great day! CeeCee

fairy castle mini album for abbey

hey there!

before my family gets over here for the christmas holiday, i just wanted to post really quickly here. i have a video for you of a mini album i made using the Magic Happens collection from KaiserCraft. unfortunately, i didn't have time to take photos before the album left my house. i shot this quick show-and-tell video while the mother was hovering around like the national guard (LOL she really liked it!). so, anyways, here it is:

 

 

i probably won't have time to post much here during the weekend so i hope you all have a very good Holiday, whichever one you are celebrating, and i also want to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you who still hung around here even after i went silent for a while.

hugz and merriment!

CeeCee

remember me?!

it's been so long since i've posted here that i almost forgot how to do it.

hey, i'm still here -- i've been really busy with the new job so i don't have a chance to come on here as often as i'd like. i've set aside a few projects that i wanted to show you but i haven't had a chance to take all the pictures. i'm thinking of making a video instead. hopefully, i'll get around to doing that on the weekend. no promises though!

i wanted to wish all my friends across the border a very happy thanksgiving. i hope you're spending it with loved ones, in comfort and joy.

so, i made this card for a very lucky girl who'll be having a special birthday soon to match a mini album that i'm working on (i'll show it when i'm done).

most of the supplies are by kaisercraft (stamp, paper and butterflies. the background vines are made with a crafter's workshop stencil (swirly vines) and modelling cream by viva decor that i tinted with perfect plum ink from stampin' up! i also used nestabilities dies to cut out the circle shapes and the lace-y circle.

i also highlighted a few dots with white opal liquid pearls (ranger).

well, i hope to see you real soon. in the meantime, keep well my friends! CeeCee

CPS #235 + pretty webster's pages for nana

this is a very elegant card for a very special lady. i was told she likes sentiments and the old-fashioned style. i wanted to make the format unique to make her feel special. here's what i came up with using the CPS challenge #235:

 

the card base is a long piece of very vanilla CS from stampin' up that i gate-folded. then i took my coluzzle circle cutting system and rounded out the 2 flaps. i also cut out 2 pieces of pattern paper from webster's pages -- unfortunately they're from an older collection and i can't find the name of it although i think it's lullaby lane..

since this is going by mail, i found the flattest flower i had in my collection and glimmer misted it with candlelight and peppermint stick. the leaves were also glimmer misted with olive vine. i added a pearl in the middle as well as some pearl designs on the label. the label was cut out with the tim holtz mini baroque movers and shapers die. i then stamped with hero arts background stamp and embossed it in clear. i love the effect! the happy birthday and border are from an old 7gypsies rub-on sheet i had in my stash. i added it just for texture. the little butterfly is punched out with a martha stewart punch out of the same collection of paper.

for the inside of the card, i found a poem online, added the last line to personalize it and printed it directly on the pattern paper. love it! i edged everything with tim holtz's old paper distress ink.

i will be silent this weekend as i am organizing our family birthday dinner (since we're all celebrating one in the same month!). lots to do but my babies are all going to eat at the family table and that's such a blessing. i've learned to savour these moments.

have a fantastatic weekend! CeeCee

 

2 javabellas --> 2 cocktail bellas

i'm running a bit behind today so i'm going to make this post real short. here are 2 cards i made for a commission. the mandate: birthday, modern girls, cocktails... i didn't have anything that fit the bill so i modified an existing stamp i had.

these 2 ladies by stamping bella usually drink coffee. today they're having cocktails! i drew cocktail glasses and glued them over the coffee cups that they originally hold in their hands! me so clevah! i also decided to distress the edges of my papers but at this point i really don't know why... i think i would have preferred not to. call it a creative glitch. but i'm still happy with them.

the coloring is done with copic markers as well as OMS and a prismacolor pencil in black for the shadowing. i used the paper piecing technique for the sleveless top and the dress. the only bling i added was a bit of dazzling diamonds glitter on the glasses and white opal liquid pearls by ranger ink on the chairs and table and sentiment.

must run.... late for a appointment! CeeCee

 

presentahbella says cheers to you

well that was certainly not a quick project for me. i don't know how many times i did this card over! there's something about that stamp from stampin bella that confuses me. i think it's the size of it and the awkward extended leg to the left that made it impossible to cut with any of my nestabilities. then i ended up trimming it to a rectangle but i don't like the way the gift sits at the bottom right corner...

but i needed to use that stamp. i drew in the left arm and the drink because i was asked for it. and it turned out ok. the other thing that bothers me with this stamp is that there are too many polka dots... on the gift and on the dress. but everything worked out in the end: i colored most of it with copic markers (no shading) and twinkling h2o's (for the polka dots). i also added dazzling diamonds glitter to some polka dots and the bows on the shoes, neck and hair as well as on the drink. the pattern paper is the paisley road by prima. the sentiment is from stampin' up!'s cheers to you stamp set.

have a great day! CeeCee

cheery cards

show of hands, who had a good weekend? {me, me!}

show of hands, who likes cheerful colors? {me, me!}

show of hands, who likes cocktail hour? {me, me!}

i made 2 cards using the same stamp set with the same color scheme but they're both very different. the stamp set is cheers to you by stampin' up!

bling on the dsp, bling on the glass and liquid pearls on the scallop circle.  it's a happy card!

i made a peek-a-boo window for the sentiment.

the martini glass was colored with copic markers but i kept pretty simple. i also added some frosting with dazzling diamonds.

the 2nd card started with the leftover circles i had punched out for the peek-a-boo window of my first card. i then added some dsp circles and some bling.

this time i used markers to color the image. i also added some dazzlling diamonds on the glass and a bit of transparent glossy gel from viva decor over the cherry.

happy birthday, CeeCee + video

woohoo, today is my birthday! i've got a lot to celebrate -- my health, my family and my creativity. and to kick my 52nd year off properly, i made myself a card. i put it together rather quickly and there are a few things i would change but i need to embrace the little imperfections.

oh how i love these papers by Authentique, Blissful collection. the grays and the yellows are so yummy. i also gave myself a lot of pearls because i love the look :-)

the sentiment is by Stampin' Up! from the On Your Birthday stamp set.

oh, and today i also made my very first vlog on youtube and you can check it out here or in the box below. it's also the first time Stuuph is editing and i'm so excited that she's decided to help me out. please keep in mind though that i used my computer's built-in camera so it's a little grainy.

 

enjoy! CeeCee

power back = a card

it's amazing how much our lives depend on technology. and without power, no technology. so we got our power back after only 23 hours of outage and i sincerely feel for those who were without for longer and have experienced property damages. i also feel for those loved ones that were injured or worse.

that power outage put me quite behind in my work schedule but things are slowly getting back to normal. i was able to finish a full 20-page scrapbook for a friend of mine and i will share through a video sometime this weekend or at the beginning of next week. but i do have a card to show you today:

i felt like using a several pieces of pattern paper, a look i don't usually go for. all of the papers are from a fancy pants paper pad called "off to school". very appropriate considering i did this for a teacher. since i was using a lot of different patterns, i separated the layers with dimensional adhesive.

the main embellishment is from the party hearty stamp set from stampin' up!. the "sister" is from the family reunion stamp set, also by SU. i stamped the main image a 2nd time in red and just punched the middle out for added interest. of course, the bling makes its appearance :-)

don't forget to have fun today! CeeCee

 

celebrate with bling

oh boy, do i have blingage for you -- that's right, BLINGAGE. i love it when someone asks me for extra bling on a card. i go all out. it's certainly true with this one. i had to stop myself not to add more.

once again, my starting point was the gorgeous dsp from the ambrosia collection by basic grey. it was so yummy and when i saw the cute little dots all over the paper i knew i had the perfect platform for blingage. the bottom strip of dsp was cut using a retired punch from stampin' up! of which the name eludes me. a piece of black satin ribbon from stampin' up! makes a great transition between the two papers.

i also decorated the inside of the card with the same paper and another quote by club scrap. unfortunately, i didn't have a very vanilla envelope so i used a white one.

i love that frame stamp by prima which i've embossed with black powder on basic gray cardstock from stampin' up! the quote in the middle is also by club scrap and in case you're wondering why i would put a sentiment with squiggles in the word "day"... the stamp was made like that. trust me,  i know -- i've stamped it 3 times before i realized  it was meant to be a bit grungy looking! all around the sentiment, i added a string of dots with the cantaloupe liquid pearls -- my new obsession. i also added bisque liquid pearls and gold stickles all over the paper.

have a fantastic thursday! CeeCee

have i toad you lately... part deux with inky antics honeyPOP

Updated 7/13/11 -- LOL don't get excited gals... i'm still recovering but i had a nice surprise when i popped the computer open just now to find out that i had a new post for today! this was pre-scheduled from 2 weeks ago. too funny!

i used to collect frogs when i was in my twenties... they're so cute -- and it used to be a little term of endearment given to me by a former boyfriend LOL . apparently i can swim like a frog. not sure if it was meant as a compliment or not?!

this card is another one of those that i CASEd from myself... but i changed the color of the mushroom and the pattern paper. it is made with inky antics stamp set, frog honeyPOP. the background paper is from a retired pad by stampin' up! the grass was punched with a martha stewart punch.

i colored both the mushroom and the frog with Copic markers, shadowed with Prismacolor pencils. i made it so that the frog looks like it's jumping towards the inside of the card.

the inside is also slightly modified from my previous one in that i added a lilly pad where the frog lands. i typed the continuation of the sentiment from my computer. Too cute!

have a hoppy day! CeeCee

photography experimentation + cheers to you

as i've said in yesterday's post, i'm experimenting with different set-ups and lighting for my projects. today, i played around with my existing light box and my 2  lights. i took the top off and spread out the sides of the box, and re-arranged my 2 lights to be in front of my object but still coming from the top -- so in essence the light is not reflected through the panels of my box but rather directly on the object. this also allows me better access to add background papers and acrylic sheets underneath my object. i quite like it; better than yesterday's fiasco. but i have a hard time finding the way to have true white without eradicating the texture. i also need to re-do the white balance on the camera.

so today's card is brought to you by stampin' up!'s cheers to you stamp set and papertreyink's polka dot bascis II. the image is colored with copic markers but again i kept the shading to a minimum.

the polka dots were embossed with heat & stick powder + champagne glitter, both from stampin' up! i also added glue + glitter on the cockatail glass and a bit of crystal effects on the cherry.

off to experimenting with photography set-ups again, the result of which will be shown on monday here! CeeCee

best friends + bling

today i tried something different with my pictures and i'm not sure i like it entirely. because i've become dissatisfied with the lighting of my photo box, i decided to take my project outside and take advantage of the natural light.

.... meh... it's alright. i love how the bling reflects the light though.

let's talk about this card. i love all the bling on it. the shiny stuff are rhinestones whereas the smaller ones were made by using glue and silver glitter. the sentiment is embossed in silver.

the stamp set i'm using here is garden whimsy by stampin' up! i'm in the process of cataloguing all my stamps and i keep discovering my old ones... some of them i've never used! that's why it's important to stay organized.

above is a terrible photo but the only one i had to work with. but it shows you how i've used silver embossing as well inside the card.

wednesday is hump day... have a good one! CeeCee

wish big

hello,

a few months ago, I posted a similar card on on this blog but for this one i added major bling as requested by my client. i love the kiwi kiss cardstock against the black and pink dsp. it's just yummy to me. am i weird because i want to eat the paper?!

 

i love this little love bug from penny black -- she's becoming one of my most often used stamp.

 

i colored her with copic markers and added some shadows with prismacolor pencils. the wings are covered with dazzling diamonds. i also added some heart-shaped rhinestones on the antennaes.

 

the sentiment is from stampin' up!'s word play stamp set and embossed in clear. I had so much fun, I made two!

have a super creative day! CeeCee

happy 4th of july + birdie cupcake honeyPOP

happy 4th of july to all my american readers! i hope you're having nice weather wherever you are for your festivities.

today's project was inspired by a piece of pattern paper from american crafts. it set the tone for the colors. and the rest was smooth sailing from there on. i'm using the birdie cupcake honeyPOP stamp set from inky antics once again (can you tell i love that set?!).

i colored the bird with copic markers but didn't add to much shadowing. i wanted to keep it simple. the clouds are cut with the scallop circle punch from SU and then hand-cut with scissors. i added a bit of stitching on them for a different touch. it also ties in with the stitched line on the sentiment banner.

here's the honeyPOP paper in the shape of a cupcake. so cute!

have a great day and i'll talk to you tomorrow! CeeCee

monkey + polka dots

polka dots have got to be my favorite dsp patterns, followed by stripes. this particular one is from a small paper pad by cosmo cricket, garden variety. i also fell in love with the different greens (my favorite color).

this monkey is not new to this blog. i've used it quite a bit. he's from inky antics honeyPOP's collection.

the fun part is the inside with the honeyPOP paper nestled in the middle.  the sentiments are fun too.

interactive cards are the best for kids... and grown-ups too :-)

have a happy thursday! CeeCee

lil' cee ballerina + mojo monday no. 197

once in a while you a make project that you're really proud of. so it is with full-on bragging (lol) that i'm you my latest cards using my very own digital stamp, lil' cee ballerina.  my starting point for inspiration was the mojo monday 197 sketch challenge:

i chose round... i cut a folded piece of white cs with the scallop circle no. 2 die from sizzix. the dsp circle was cut with the coluzzle system.

and because i was having so much fun with it, i decided to make two.

for the coloring, i kept it simple and went with the two patterned paper from an older collection by american crafts.

again, i used my favorite of all times: dazzling diamonds!

all the coloring was made with copic markers with a little dash of prismacolor + oms for the cheeks.

lil' cee is holding a rose given to her by her mama, ceecee (LOL) after her amazing ballet performance! i layered a tiny rose from iamroses over a bow made with embroidery floss. i decided to leave the rose "au naturel" with no color and no glitter. i needed a very soft look.

here's a pic of the colors i used. have a creative day! CeeCee

 

magnolia's little girl with her lamb

good monday morning!

i hope everyone had a great weekend. mine was spent working and taking care of the family... the usual. here's a card i worked on this weekend -- actually i made two!

this style of card is a center step card, according to SCS. i used a magnolia stamp borrowed from a friend to stamp the girl with her lamb, stamped it on white cardstock with memento's ink in tuxedo black and colored with copic markers. the dsp  and cardstock are from papertrey ink.

i added some dazzling diamonds on the frills of her dress. there are no words to describe how i feel about dazzling diamonds LOL . it truly is the best glitter out there.

here's a photo of the copic markers i took to color her in. have a good monda! CeeCee

a card for makynli

i've been experimenting with photoshop elements and yearn for enough money to buy photoshop cs5. i've been using stuuph's wacomm tablet more and more and i'm loving it. i've also been toying with the idea to make more digital stamps and that was the original plan with this image. but i had to settle for something a little different because it would have taken me hours to make a digi with this - hence the need for cs5.

i was sent a photo of makynli and asked to make a 1st birthday card. so i played with the picture in photoshop until i had some kind of an outline that i could color with my copics.

in fact, the only elements from the picture that printed were black shaded areas but it was enough to tell where the components began and ended. then i went to bat with the markers and created the colored shadows. i really enjoyed this process and plan on using it sometime soon.

the only embellishment is a sentiment from on your birthday by stampin' up! and a few punched shapes. the number 1 is a sticker from my stash that i colored with a copic marker and glittered. the tiny rhinestone makes the embellishment pop.

inside is another sentiment with a repeat of the tiny flower and rhinestone.

have a happy monday! CeeCee

honeyPOP birdie + balloon

sometimes i make a card and because of an oversight the layout veers off to something a little bit different. that's what happened yesterday when i made a card with inky antics' honeyPOP birdie stamp set. what i really wanted to do was use the honeyPOP paper but after i was done i realized that i had forgotten to make the 1/8" gutter in the middle fold of the card necessary to wedge the honeyPOP. so i ended up with yesterday's card. the card below is what i really meant to make:

the little birdie was stamped twice -- once on the white cardstock and once on the real red dsp.

and the inside reveals a balloon that i cut out of honeyPOP paper. but this time, the card opens horizontally. i didn't have a stamp for a balloon so i just drew it on the honeyPOP paper and cut it.

love that stuff!

birdie birthday card

a pretty bird for a pretty little girl. i hope she likes her fun card! i chose big polka dots paper for the base of my card from a retired stampin' up! dsp. the bird stamp is from inkyantics. i also added a pretty white bow and ribbon.

the bird is simply colored with copic makers (no shading), overlayed on foam dots and adorned with a necklace of stickles "beads".

inside, a little surpise.

have a fantastic day! CeeCee

cards bonanza part 6 : gift tags

it's no secret : i like making with small cards, books, 3d stuff. small is so enticing for me because your project takes a whole new dimension when you layer embellishment over embellishment. all of a sudden your small card is... well not so small anymore. it's become important.

when i started my cards bonanza, it was clear to me that i was going to have a lot of leftover cardstock. so i made gift tags.

they measure 2" X 2".

some are simple.

some are not so simple.

some are funky.

some are glittery.

all of them unique.

they all sport a silver elastic cord that can be attached to a gift bag handle or a big bow.

they're a fantastic way to use up all your bits and pieces and i like that!

happy day! CeeCee

cards bonanza part 5 : dream a dream + make a wish

i'm so in love with these colors : baja breeze, kiwi kiss and white. what a combo! when i'm not using teal, baja breeze is the one i grab for. i have a feeling that the new in colors pool party, lucky limeade and island indigo from stampin' up! are going to be my other fav combo. they're coming soon -- july 1st, my friends! i can't wait to show you those yummy colors.

on to today cards now --

same elements, different quotes and colors -- both fun. i love paper that incorporates text. it's such a fun element to play with.

this one is more feminine... i had some leftover flower rhinestones from my cards from yesterday so i added them here. i like the one on the heart :-)

this one could easily be a masculine card if you were to replace the flower rhinestones with tiny metal brads.

have a great day! CeeCee

cards bonanza part 4 : wishes in rhinestones + pearls

happy tuesday everyone!

repetition of elements is another favorite design technique i like to use. in the case of these two cards, i used tiny die-cut flowers to form a square in the middle of both cards.

i had a good laugh when i saw both cards side-by-side in this picture because i didn't use the same background paper! the left one is crumb cake and the right, sahara sand. but they both work. one has a warmer feel to it (the left one). it's fun to see the difference between the two.

on this one, i used little rhinestone flowers to overlay on the die-cuts. here's another feature i noticed on the bigger rhinestone that sits on the larger flower: it's actually a button! look at the two holes... lol (and the reflection of my camera). i punched the leaves out of kiwi kiss cardstock with my two-step-bird punch from stampin' up.

on the second card, i used tiny pearls in the center of the small flowers.

i prefer this one because the pearls are all the same color, but that's just me.

i also added another tiny pearl to the small flower in the sentiment.

too cute! those 2 cards were also part of my cards bonanza of may 29th and i have more to show you in the days to come.

have a creative day!

birdie cupcake honeyPOP

happy week, everyone!

i've talked about my little bird before, the one that tells me i'm working too late at night -- or morning as it stands. he sings his beautiful song to alert me to go to bed. the singing is so beautiful. and i know my birdie is not yellow but this one is:

the color combination was dictated by this american crafts background paper. such pretty colors. the clouds in the background are cut with a scallop circle punch then trimmed with scissors.

the bird is a stamp from inky antics' birdie cupcake honeyPOP stamp set and is simply colored with copic markers.

inside, a little surprise honeyPOP cupcake.

have a creative week! CeeCee

cards bonanza part 2

happy tuesday, everyone. here are 2 cards i made during the cards bonanza of this past weekend -- two color schemes, same layout.

almost all of the supplies are from a retired simply scrappin' kit from stampin' up! (best ever). the predominent colors (kiwi kiss, baha breeze, riding hood red) were so much fun to play with.

at the forefront of the cards, a piece of dsp cut out with tim holtz mini baroque die for the big shot. i added a sentiment from the teeny tiny wishes stamp set by stampin' up!

i punched two slots on each side of the baroque piece so i can insert a ribbon. i also added a tag adorned with a flower and a rhinestone.

tomorrow's post will be a special one... so stay tuned! :-)

have a great day! CeeCee

horray! party!

first and foremost, i would like to wish a peaceful memorial day to all my readers from the USA and safekeeping for those loved ones who are out there protecting the lives of others.

yesterday, i posted a video about a whole bunch of cards i was able to make out of 4 sheets of die-cuts. i called it my "cards bonanza" (i'm trying, guys :-P ). here's a couple of them.

i made two of the same with a different color scheme.

the card bases were part of my stash but the front of the card was cut-off by 1/4". it was a left-over from a previous workshop. so i added a border out of cardstock that i punched with the scallop border punch.

that little strip here is actually the negative of tiny flower die-cuts. i used it here with rhinestones in the middle.

have a great monday! CeeCee

 

 

happy 21st birthday

i hope everyone had a good long weekend. it was a 3-day weekend here in canada. i spent a good chunk of it cleaning and cooking but i managed to squeeze in one fun visit to some artists studios in the mile end district. every year, there's an event in montreal during which local artists open their studio doors to the public. it was so inspiring and now my head is filled with ideas.

on to today's card -- i needed a 21st birthday card for a modern girl. this card is part of a project i'm working and that hopefully will be posted this week.

fun rhinestones... what girl doesn't like bling on her cupcake! i've used stampin' up!'s die-cuts from a retired kit for this card. i love adhesive die-cuts because it saves on time. if you want to put together a quick card, die-cuts are the way to go!

i'm working on different projects at the same time so hopefully i'll have a good variety to show you this week. also, i'm nearing my 500th post so be on the lookout for some awesome goodies i'll be giving away. it should be at the end of this week or beginning of the next. one hint though: you'll have to be subscribed to my newsletter for it in order to qualify to receive the goodies. i'm reactivating it as of june and i promise you it'll be worth your subscription.

have a happy day! CeeCee

bonne fête, 60 ans

today's project is for a very modern mother who's celebrating her 60th birthday. i was told which colors to use and which elements to include, right down to the sentiment. and i love that. it cuts down on the time i spend choosing colors and scheme.

i'm very fond of making my own sentiments. for this card, i wanted it to be very vanilla. obviously you can't print white or vanilla on the printer so i set the text box background to brown and my font to vanilla then punched it out with the word window punch. mission accomplished!

the background paper used on this card is from an old scenic route paper collection. the polka dot paper is actually the reverse side. the numbers are thickers by american crafts. they weren't the exact color so i decided to bling them up with heat and stick powder and dazzling diamonds glitter. that way, the difference in color is less noticeable. i'm all for altering what you've got in your stash. i'm also trying to use up what i have -- no more buying "just because i have to have it". lord knows i have enough paper to supply the entire island of montreal... for a whole year!

the focal embellishment mats were cut with  spellbinder dies and my big shot. overall, a very sober but classy card for a modern mum.

have a fantastic day! CeeCee

video: double-fold honeyPOP birthday card with Inky Antics

i love a card that packs a punch. especially if the recipient is a kid. interactive cards are always so appreciated by them. my product of the year for this is the HoneyPOP collection by Inky Antics. it consists of honeycomb paper pads and coordinating stamp sets.

i have made other cards in the past using honeyPOP paper with a single embellishment in the center fold. but this time i wanted to include 2 honeyPOP embellies so i came up with my own measurements and am quite happy about it. here's a side view:

the two 1/8" spines you see up here is where the 2 honeyPOP elements are nestled. the full measurements to make this card are listed in my video. you can watch it directly from YouTube here or view below:

 

the card is held close by a linen thread hidden behind the image in the front. when you undow the bow, here's what you find:

isn't that fun?! i absolutely love it. the product is easy to use and fuels my creativity. plus it makes such a fun sound when you open it :-)

here's a close up of the honeycomb paper. love, love Inky Antics products. they're made in the USA and the photopolymer stamps are of good quality. and ... no, i'm not paid to say this. i truly fell in love with them.

i wish all of you a very happy tuesday. CeeCee
