A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

BEE COSTUME

Hi Everyone

Happy Thursday!

A very cold, wet and dull one here .. .. but only outside!!  Inside has been warm, dry and exciting as usual!

In fact outside we have even had the odd snow flurry.  Nothing that lasted very long .. .. but snow all the same.

So here we are with the last of the six stamps I bought from Clair.

Now you may have seen this stamp on my blog before and thought it was already in my collection .. .. but no .. .. the ones you have seen before were courtesy of my lovely DIL who lives in London.  But because I love colouring it and glittering the wings so much I decided to get one of my own at a bargain price.

So last but not least .. ..




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "2243K" Bee Costume"
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat
Martha Stewart Edge Punch:  Daisy
X-Cut Punch:  Corner Rounder
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon

and that is it.

I think there must be a spelling mistake on my Rubber Stamp as the label that is attached is calling it "Bee Coustume".  I wonder if that makes it a collector's item?  I will have to check my DIL's out next time I see her and look what that says.   LOL!!

So now to put a few of you out of your misery .. .. here is where last night's heart was hidden .. on this little worried rabbit's plant pot.


A little bit of a naughty one .. .. but they can't all be easy or it wouldn't be fun would it?   LOL!!

Have a lovely evening and stay safe and warm.

Love

Ah Jules, I've been waiting for you to use this stamp! Fabulous card indeed - and guess what. I love my same stamp so much it sits on a shelf here with a few of my favourites. I just hopped up and checked - and mine is also spelled 'coustume' :) Never noticed that before - perhaps we BOTH have collectors items :)

Hugs, Di xx

Great card, Jules! Love the hexagon/ bee hive pattern paper. It goes so well with the cute image!! Love it!

Ha! So that's where the heart was. It really bugged me for not able to find it!! ^_^

Fabulous card Jules. Think you may have a 'rare' item there due to the misspelling! You're also a very wicked lady, what a job I had finding that heart!!! Hugs x

Beryl said...

No wonder you wanted this stamp for yourself Jules. It's lovely and it's just not the same when you are relying on someone elses for the impression. Fab card.
