To Bee or Not To Bee Blog Hop

Hello everyone!!! :o)

It's been quite a while since I've posted here on my blog. Being a working from home mommy of a toddler is very challenging, but also super fun, so I don't find time to blog often anymore. Well here I am today with some of my friends, bringing you 5th To Bee or Not To Bee Blog Hop. :o)

To Bee or Not To Bee Blog Hop is a special annual blog hop supporting bees (and other pollinators) and celebrating World Bee Day, which is on May 20th. This year we are hopping a bit later and not actually on a World Bee Day, as I couldn't organize it earlier. Last year we paused, as I was new mommy and it was difficult for me to organize a blog hop with a small baby. 

I've invited some of my crafty friends, whom I admire greatly, to hop along with me, and I have some amazing sponsors lined up with gifts to give away to You! :o)

Aim of the hop is to support bees and bees protection, to raise public awareness of the importance of bees and beekeeping and benefits of using apicultural products for our health.

Bees and other pollinators are very important for ensuring food quality, as well as preserving the entire ecosystem and natural biodiversity. Bees provide a wide range of benefits to humans from pollination of food crops and apicultural products.

Interesting facts...

• "Bees pollinate as many as 170,000 species of plants.
• Without bees, there would not be so many different kinds of fruits and vegetables, or such beautiful colors on the lawn.
• A bee colony is as big as a small town. There are from 30,000 to 60,000 bees in each colony.
• The queen bee is the only one that lays eggs. She lays up to 2,000 eggs per day.
• Out of 20,000 species of bees, only one is widely used for commercial honey production.
• The Carniolan honey bee, Apis mellifera carnica, is an indigenous Slovenian race of bee and the second most widespread bee race in the world.
• Honey bees’ wings strike 11,400 times per minute, thus making their distinctive buzz.
• Honey bees are the only bees that die after they sting. 
• To make one kilogram of honey, the bees have to visit 4 million flowers and fly four times the distance around the world."

What can we do to protect bees and other pollinators...

• "Care for the environment and avoid harming it.
• Plant a variety of nectar-bearing plants and native species that bloom form spring to autumn to provide food for pollinators.
• Provide a welcoming environment for solitary bees and other pollinators with a feeder hut/shelter.
• Mow lawn less often and when bees are not present (i.e. early morning or late afternoon).
• Seek out local beekeepers and support them by buying bee products.
• Educate our community about the importance of bees and encourage pollinator-friendly campaigns and events."

And here is what I created for today's hop: Happy BEE Day Card. :o)

I made this card for my niece Tea who will be turning 12 this month (I can't believe how time flies... she grew in a blink of an eye). :o)

How I made my card...

I stamped a hexagon pattern from Jane's Doodles 'Geometric Patterns' stamp set (the set is discontinued) in watermark technique with VersaMark Ink on a Kraft cardstock paper scrap. I cut the stripe to a preferable size and glued it on a white top folded cardstock paper.

Then I stamped a sentiment from Uniko 'Bee Happy' clear stamp set on a white cardstock paper panel.

I wanted to add some dimension and raise a bit the panel, but I was lazy to glue tiny foam squares (it takes ages... my least favorite part of cardmaking). I cut two rectangles from the white cardstock paper, slightly smaller than the panel, glued them together and glued the panel on top. I glued everything on the card base. Perfect! Done in couple minutes, dimension achieved and no foam used. LOL :o) 

Next up were bees. I used super cute tiny Bee from Purple Onion Designs, Stacey Yacula Studio 'Net, Butterfly and Bee' rubber stamps. So so cute. I stamped the bee on the white cardstock paper twice, fussy cut bees leaving white thin border around them. Then I stamped bees on a watercolor paper and colored them in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. I fussy cut bees, traced edges with a black marker and glued watercolored bees over bees stamped on the cardstock paper. I did this to make images thicker, because the watercolor paper I use is very thin. I've could used thicker watercolor paper, but the image is so tiny it's impossible to fussy cut it nicely when stamped on a thicker watercolor paper that I have.

Lastly, I glued some foam squares on the back of each bee, glued them on the card and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 89 mm x 120 mm (3 1/2" x 4 3/4")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Geometric Patterns' stamp set (discontinued)
• Uniko 'Bee Happy' clear stamp set

Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop

Happy Monday! :o)

Welcome to a Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop. Today we are featuring two BEAUTIFUL Love/Valentines themed stamp sets and a GORGEOUS stencil released into the store. :o) We also have 2 amazing Guest Designers joining us today. :o)

Love Is In The Air

Love You

Hearts Stencil

GORGEOUS!!! Love love LOVE!!!!! :o)

For today I prepared three cards. :o) 

On all my three cards I used the Hearts Stencil and a handmade heart mask. I made the mask from a post-it paper. I traced Jane's heart on the post-it paper and then drew large heart similar to Jane's "original" heart. I fussy cut it carefully, as I needed both masks, positive and negative. :o)

My first card for today is Sending Love CAS (clean and simple) Card.

How I made this card...

I glued the negative part of heart mask on a white cardstock paper panel and ink blended the background. Then I placed the hearts stencil over the masked part and ink blended hearts. I added some extra shades with colored pencils.

When I was satisfied with the color, I removed the stencil and the mask and drew light reflections, stars and dots with a white pigment ink pen. I love a sparkle effect that I achieved. :o)

I stamped a sentiment from Love You stamp set on the panel, glued the panel on a black top folded card base and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 95 mm x 140 mm (3 3/4" x 5 1/2")

My second card for today is Love & Thanks Monochrome Card.

How I made this card...

I glued the hart mask on a white cardstock paper panel and ink blended the entire background. Then I placed the hearts stencil on the panel and ink blended hearts. I added some extra shades with colored pencils.

When I was satisfied with the color, I removed the stencil and the mask and drew light reflections, stars and dots with the white pigment ink pen and again created the sparkle effect. Love it!!! :o)

I stamped a sentiment from Love You stamp set on the panel creating Ombré Effect. A stamping platform really helped with that. :o)

On this card I wanted to create a bit of dimension. I didn't use foam. I cut two white panels, glued them together, glued hearts panel on top of the stacked panels and glued everything on a white top folded card base. Lastly, I glued one more panel inside the card to make it a bit sturdier. :o)

Card measurements: 95 mm x 127 mm (3 3/4" x 5")

My last card for today is Love is in the Air Mini Square Card.

How I made this card...

I glued the negative part of heart mask on a white cardstock paper panel and ink blended the background. Then I placed the hearts stencil over the masked part and ink blended hearts. I added some extra shades with colored pencils.

When I was satisfied with the color, I removed the stencil and the mask and splattered the panel with water. I dabbed the surface with a paper towel and continued to splatter until I was satisfied with the appearance. I left the panel to dry on air.

I stamped an adorable bird from the Love Is In The Air stamp set on the white cardstock paper. I also made a mask on the post-it paper. I carefully fussy cut the bird and used the negative part of the mask for this card. I glued the mask over the bird and ink blended the bird. I removed the mask and added some extra shades with colored pencils. When I was satisfied, I fussy cur the bird, leaving thin white border around it and drew white highlights with the white gel pen.

I heat embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set as the bird in white on a black cardstock paper stripe. I trimmed the sentiment stripe to a desirable size.

Lastly, I cut out three more squares, same size as the panel and a white square top folded card base.

With all parts ready, my card was ready for assembling. I glued two squares together (stacked them) and glued ink blended panel on top of them. Then I glued everything on a white square top folded card base. I glued one more square inside the card to make it sturdier. I glued 3-D foam squares behind the sentiment stripe and the bird (two different foam dimensions), glued them on the card and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 92 mm x 92 mm (3 5/8" x 3 5/8")

I had so much fun creating these cards and LOVE how they turned out. :o) My baby boy Fran also likes them a lot. He was screaming of joy when I showed them to him. LOL 

At the bottom of this post you can find detailed supply lists of my today's cards. Link to this post will be in a right sidebar until the Blog Hop ends. :o)

Smile Card (CASology Week #395 mid-inspiration)

  

Hi everyone! :o)

I hope you're all well. It's been a while since I've posted here on my blog.

Today I'm sharing my card for CASology mid-inspiration challenge. This is also my last project as DT member for CASology. I've decided to step down from the team, as I don't find time to fulfill my duties as DT member, neither to craft as much as I did previous years. I endlessly enjoy being a mommy to my baby boy Fran and I don't want to build up any stress in my life by having commitments that I can't fulfill. Thank you Melissa and DT Ladies!! It was a wonderful experience and a great fun. You've all inspired me a lot. ♥

On September 7th, 2021, a new challenge started at CASology. This month's cue word is One. :o)

There's still time to join the challenge, which ends on Monday, October 4th, 2021, 9 AM, CDT (UTC -5).

And here is my take on the challenge: CAS (clean and simple), Smile Card. :o)

Design defined: 

One layer, one image, one word in a sentiment.

For my card I used stamps from BEAUTIFUL Jane's Doodles 'Old Is Gold' stamp set.

How I made my card...

I stamped a camera image and a sentiment directly on a white top folded card base.

Then I watercolored the camera with Distress Inks. I had to be very quick while coloring, as the paper I used is a cardstock paper and not watercolor paper. If I add too much color, there is no way to 'pick it' or blend it like it works on a watercolor paper. :o) I colored one part at a time, drying colored parts with heat it tool.

As a finishing touch, I drew white highlights on the camera and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 89 mm x 121 mm (3 1/2" x 4 3/4")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Old Is Gold' stamp set
• white cardstock paper
• Ranger Archival Ink, Jet Black
• Tim Holtz Distress Inks:
• Candied Apple
• Spiced Marmalade
• Mustard Seed
• Twisted Citron
• Blueprint Sketch
• Wilted Violet
• Hickory Smoke
• Black Soot
• Unibal Signo White Pigment Ink Pen
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• bone folder
• acrylic block
• Ranger Heat it Tool

Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop

  

Hi everyone! :o)

Welcome to a Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop. Today we are featuring a gorgeous 'What the Fig!' stamp set released into the store. :o) We also have 2 super talented Guest Designers and a new DT member joining us today. :o)

What the Fig!

GORGEOUS!!!! Love love LOVE!!!!! :o)


And here is what I prepared for today: Happy Figgin' Birthday Card. :o)

I made this one for my honey's birthday, which is today. :o) Happy Birthday hon!!! ♥

How I made this Card... 

For my card I used all stamps from the set, except one sentiment. I love to create my own backgrounds. It's a great way to use as much as possible stamps from one set. I call that good use of the set. :o)

First I randomly stamped images on a Kraft paper panel in watermark stamping technique using VersaMark Watermark Ink. After drying, I stamped the sentiment in black on the panel.

I cut and folded a card base and 5 more panels from the Kraft paper. I cut 4 panels slightly smaller than the panel with stamped background and glued (stacked) them together. I did this to add some dimension on my card, as I didn't have enough foam to do that. I glued the stamped panel on stacked panels and glued them on the card base. Last, 5th panel, I glued inside the card to make it sturdier.

Then I stamped a fig on a thick watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique with Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the fig leaving white thin border around it. I glued 3-D foam squares on the back of the image and placed it on the card.

As a finishing touch, I drew white highlights on the fig and my card was finished. :o)

I like it, but is it enough masculine and will my honey like it, I'll know later today, when I'll give him the card at a small family birthday gathering. I decided to go with figs because we both love figs. :o)

Do you like figs? When it comes to fresh figs, I like one variety, don't know how it's called, but those figs have greenish/yellowish skin. But when it comes to dried figs, I can't stop eating them. Absolutely my favorite dried fruit. :o)

In Dalmatia, region of Croatia, they make delicious dried fig cake called Smokvenjak. It is my favorite energy snack.

"When compared with other fruit, the juicy and filling fig holds a special place in Dalmatian cuisine. During summer there is no sweeter taste than a freshly picked fig full of sweet juice which serves as a refreshment from the heat, the sea and the sun. Apart from eating them fresh, lots of picked figs are dried every year in order to preserve them during winter, when they are eaten on their own or in numerous tasty cakes. One of these is the fig cake, which used to be an everyday snack for field workers because it provides plenty of energy. Nowadays it is prepared for holidays or celebrations and is served as an aperitif before meals.

The traditional fig cake is considered to have originated on Croatian islands which abound in fig trees. This sweet dessert requires only a couple of ingredients, but it is very filling and delicious, and stays fresh for a long time which is why it has often been prepared as a travel snack. As its name indicates, fig cake or hib is prepared from dried figs, mixed with almonds, brandy or maraschino, powdered sugar and bay leaf for more flavour. The figs are first cut into small pieces or ground, and then combined with roasted and crushed almonds. Brandy is added to the mixture slowly and carefully so that all the ingredients blend well. The packed mixture of almonds and figs is formed into loaves and sprinkled with fresh bay leaves, or other Mediterranean plants such as rosemary or sage.

The basic recipe for fig cake can be altered according to taste, preferences and circumstances, so that instead of brandy the juice of any citrus fruit can be added, such as orange juice and its zest, or fennel seeds, different spices, as well as walnuts and raisins. Fig cake can be eaten immediately, but in order to be able to cut it, the moulded fig cakes need to be dried for some time. Nowadays this is done in the oven on low temperatures for up to an hour, so that the fig cake becomes a little harder. Individual fig cakes are wrapped in paper to prevent them from drying and for easier storage and transportation. These days, fig cakes are a popular souvenir among tourists in Croatia."

If you'll be visiting Croatia or will find Smokvenjak in a grocery store or have an option to buy it online, I would highly recommend to buy it. Not only it's delicious (if you like dried figs and almonds), it's healthy too. :o)
