Bumble Bee-Bugs N’ Hugs Card Details Post

Good morning crafty friends,
Here is the details on the Bumble Bee-Bugs n’ Hugs card I created for today’s Garden Soup Cartridge showcase.

bee bugs hugs card 500
Products Used

DCWV Stack-Fresh Floral Stack
Garden Soup Cricut Cartridge
EK Success Mini Butterfly Punch
EK Success Border Punch
Yellow Cardstock
Black Fine Tip Pen


The cute little bumble bee paper piecing was created using all cuts from the Garden Soup cartridge. I did not use my Gypsy or Craft Room. All the cuts are what I like to call “straight cricut” meaning I used just the cartridge and my Expression. 

I stamped the cute little grass and flower border from the Bugs & Hugs Stamp set in Pear Ink on plain white cardstock. I then used my watercolor pencils to color in the flowers, mushrooms and back.The colors I used were: Orange, Sunflower, Citrus Leaf, Holiday Red and Bubblegum. 

 I used one of the In the Backyard background stamps to stamp the pretty little pattern on the bumble bee's wings. I am entering this card in the Heart 2 Heart Go Green-March Madness challenge. Be sure to head over to the cartridge showcase and check out all the other wonderful projects created with the Garden Soup cartridge.

Sweet As Honey Card Details Post

Good morning crafty Friends,
Here is my details on the Sweet As Honey Card I created for today’s Garden Soup Cartridge Showcase.
sweet as honey-ctmh card-500
Products Used 

CTMH Products
Dotty For You Designer Paper(Discontinued)

Other Products
American Crafts Ribbon
EK Success Corner Punch
EK Success Swirl Punch
Dew Drops (White and Gold embellishments)
Garden Soup Cricut Cartridge

The flower and the honeycombs were from the Garden Soup Cartridge. The honeycombs were a perfect fit for the Honeycomb stamps in the stamp set! With the Honeycomb stamp set you get 10 different honeycomb patterns. I used eight of them in the three different colors of ink. I also used one of them to stamp the center of the flower.

I Inked the yellow part of the flower with my Crème Brulee Stamp Pad.
I think this card turned out really well considering it was my first try at using the honeycomb stamps on the die cuts. But they lined up really easily. Love it when things fall together…lol. I am entering this card in the Heart 2 Heart Go Green-March Madness challenge. Be sure to head over to our showcase and see all the other wonderful creations using the Garden Soup cartridge.
Thank you for sharing your crafty time with me.

 GUEST DESIGNER
~Emily Thubbron

Here's a little bit about Emily ~

I live in NE PA.  I have been crafting something since I was a little girl.  I found scrapbooking when I was pregnant with my daughter in 2003.  I wanted a way to preserve her pictures without just sticking them in an album.  I moved onto card making about two years ago.  I love it!  Some, like my husband, would say I have an addiction.  I enjoy doing challenges and do about 75 a week.  I'm a stay-at-home, homeschool mom and my daughter, who is almost 9, is one of my best friends.
