Some Buttercup Fun

It's no secret that my two favorite color combination is yellow and turquoise and once I saw the new Buttercup collection - I was pretty much sold! Seriously those colors, the fun design - check out that chevron pattern paper with the newsprint background - and the touches of grey here and there. Love this!

In creating this layout, I couldn't resist getting my silhouette machine out for those awesome number designs (from Loni Stevens) and once again the ABC stickers are just the right size for my subtitle..."memories" made with Lily Bee and thank you.  The pictures are of some all my all time favorite lily bee projects and also one taken with some of the design team members and Kristen at the CHA-W 2011 show (was super excited to meet everyone).

And here's a fun close up of some of the various pattern papers in this collection... and of course, more banners and butterflies too  :)

Focus On: Quick and Easy Cards

Good morning, and Happy Monday!

In my dreams, I have a nice stash of cards made and ready to go, regardless of the occasion. But alas, the reality is that I'm usually walking out the door, and go, "Ack, I need a card to accompany this present." Then I run back into the house, whip something together, and I'm 30 minutes late to the party. (Yes, I do say "ack" in real life!)

To help me out (and hopefully you too!), we asked some of our designers to share a few simple, quick, and pretty card designs with us. Especially since this is February, and February means Valentine's Day, and Valentine's Day means cards...

Heads Over Heels In Love Cards

Hi Everyone, Piradee here today to share some cards that I created using the gorgeous Heads Over Heels collection and just in time for Valentine's Day.  First is this simple card I made using the mix cardstock sticker as the focal point and decked out with some heart punch outs from the various pattern papers... 

Then for my second card, I couldn't resist getting out my sewing machine to stitch the pockets where I added a few love tags and then using another sticker element for the finishing touches. 

And lastly is this fun card created using mini clothes pins and more mix cardstock stickers (the banners this time) and with my favorite product - the ABC stickers!

Focus On: New & Old

Happy New Year! Hope you had a fantastic New Year's Eve/New Year's Day! It's time for all that's new. New resolutions, new agendas, new scrapbooking supplies! But that doesn't mean that we should ignore our older stuff, and hide them in the back of our stash. The beauty of Lily Bee products is that even though they are very different from line to line, they coordinate really beautiful altogether.

Here are some projects that combine products from different lines and seasons.

Day 19 Rosette Christmas Tree

In getting ready for Christmas and the festive celebrations, I’ve been putting up little decorations here and there and everywhere around our apartment which also includes these cute and super easy to create rosette Christmas trees.

All you need to create this little tree is some of the Jingle Collection Pattern Papers, the insides of the toilet paper rolls, glitter, star pins (or any other items that you might want to deck the tree with), scoring board (optional but super helpful) and a handy trimmer...

I first started out by cutting strips of the various pattern papers in different thicknesses – ranging from 0.75” to 1.5”. Then using the scoring board, I quickly created the creases that I needed for the rosette flowers...

Once I had the completed all the rosette flowers, I applied liquid glue on the edges and sprinkled some glitter on the sides. Then I lined up the three different sized rosette flowers and poked the star pin through the middle (you might also want to apply some glue in between the flowers to help keep everything together). Next, I started working on the bottom part of the tree and found that the toilet roll was just the right size that I needed. Therefore, I cut a piece of the roll and wrapped some pattern paper around it before gluing it onto the bottom most rosette flower; finishing off my little rosette Christmas tree.

Hope this inspires to you create some of your own Christmas decorations and if you have already been creating them, would love to see what you’ve done. Thanks for stopping by everyone and wishing a you a super Merry Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!!

Day 3 - Counting Down to Christmas

Hi Everyone, Piradee here today to share my december calendar that I created using the Jingle Collection. Instead of the 12x12 layout that I used to do, I wanted to do something a little different this time and went with a calendar card approach.

Each day has its own card that I've created using a mix of pattern papers, index cards and stickers from the Jingle collection and also some maya road chipboard goodies here and there. The idea is to display them in this mini library drawer as each of the day approaches...

And here's an overview of all the cards that I created... for some of them, I went with a large number chipboard for the date while on others, I used the number stickers from the ABC sticker sheet. Also on some of the cards, I left some areas blank so that I could add journaling details of that day...

And here are some close up details on some of the cards. For the chipboard numbers, I had colored them using an ink pad, lightly covering the chipboard and leaving some of the areas uncovered/inked.

Also using some of the clear stamps from the jingle collection... like the super cute santa and his reindeer image below...

And some pictures of the remaining cards and their details....

Lily bee Supplies Used:

Pattern Papers: Jingle - Mistletoe, Merry & Bright, Peppermint, Tinsel, Garland, Egg Nog, Cranberry, Frost and Spruce

ABC Stickers: Jingle
