Hi there! Laura here and I’m excited to join Honey Bee for their 12 Designers of Christmas series!
December 1 – 11 we will give away a $25 Gift Certificate to one person who comments on that day’s blog post
December 12th we will give away a $100 Gift Certificate to one lucky commenter, so be sure to leave comments daily!
I have a couple of projects to share using some of my favorite Honey Bee sets.
My first project features the Season’s Tweetings stamp set & coordinating Honey cut dies. These festive birds are irrisistable and the fonts in this set are gorgeous, too!
I colored the images with Copics and used circle dies to create indivdual frames for each bird to pop out of. I blended distress inks on the background.
This next project feaures the Forest Friends stamp set and coordinating Honey cut dies.
I used another large circle die to frame these sweet furry critters and clipped a felt bow at the top for fun. The images were colered with Copics and fussy cut out.
Thanks so much for joining me and thank you to Honey Bee for having me. Wishing you a wonderul Holiday Season!

Absolutely fun and adorable!
I love Laura’s cards, they are beautiful and so cute !
Laura, I absolutely love critters and cards with critters on them well they leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling. So thank you for choosing to use critters on both your designs for HoneyBee Stamps. Also, thank you for the technique of using a circular die in the way you did, this means that I can stretch the usage of my shaped dies. I am certainly going to try to use them in a more abstract way in the future.
:O)

The critters are so cute, and I love the felt bow. Is there a die to make the bow?
