Hello! More cards using up patterned paper! The 4 cards in this post bring me to 12 cards from the remnants of OLD 6x6 patterned papers. I do have more paper left, although the pile is much smaller, and more scraps. At the end I can give you a sneak peek of how I am working with them!
I realized that there was this paper in the set that was too pretty to cut previously and would work well for a Bee theme! So I went through my stamps and pulled out anything that would go with a Bee!
The yellow on my last two cards looks like plain cardstock but it is actually a watercolored background from my stash. It does look more watery in real life!
Here is a list of the stamps used on my cards:
Our Daily Bread Designs Honeycomb Mini and Mini Bugs set (not sure if that is the real name)
Our Daily Bread Designs Rose Bouquet stamp set (Happy Birthday Sentiment)
Gina K Designs Happy Birthday to You stamp set
Gina K Designs Birthday Go-Round stamp set
Close to My Heart Cute as a Bug stamp set
I would like to enter the last two cards in the Inkspirational Challenge - Free or Gifted. The bee and honeycomb stamp sets from Our Daily Bread were gifted to me from Cheryl Scrivens YEARS ago. I have made good use out of them as that bee is super cute (and there are some other bugs in the set as well).
And here is a sneak peek of the setup for my next batch of cards using this same patterned paper. Do you ever set things up like this? I don’t always stick with the plan, but I find this helps me pick and choose what papers will go together and also what stamps will fit in the space I have for a focal point, etc. I’d love to know your process too!
Thanks for reading and commenting today! Have a good day!

These are fabulous and like you said they are perfect with your bees, love the different styles you came up with.
I usually always start with my stamp or image and then find the papers that would work with it, I never thought to start off with the papers and then get my image. Looks like you have some good cards in the making there!
Loving all the bees and hexagons on your designs. What a fun and fabulous collection of cards!
I love these cards! You are really using up those papers. I need to crackin'!
I have never planned a card like you did here, I'm actually far too unorganinized in my cardmaking. But thanks for the tip, it sure looks like a great idea, especailly when nyou need to make a lot of cards and have got limited time. You produced a lot of beautiful bee themed cards here.
