This Bee is Ready to Party 🐝🌼 + Blog Hop Day 1!

Simon Says Stamp | Moments in Time Release
05/30/2025

Hi there!

Today I’m super excited to be participating in a Blog Hop to celebrate the Simon Says Stamp Moments In Time Release! 

If you’d like to follow along on the hop you can start from the top at the Simon Says Stamp Blog!    

From now until 6/1 at 11:59 pm EST you can get the adorable “Best Fishes” stamp set FREE with a purchase of any product from the Moments in Time release! Details are in the graphic below.

Be sure to leave a comment below (and at each stop on the hop) because Simon is giving away a $25 coupon to one commenter on each blog!  Winners will be posted on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday the 4th of June. If you’re a winner, just email Simon Says Stamp to claim your prize!

My stop on the hop is all about bright color, happy vibes, and bee-day fun and was created using products from this amazing release! With a dimensional tattered daisy, a party-ready bee, and a cheerful sentiment, this design is buzzing with personality. 🐝🎉

I paired a big, dimensional flower with a stamped and Copic-colored bee, perched just right for birthday joy. A slanted sentiment strip adds energy and movement, and the warm yellow tones tie it all together for a sweet and celebratory look.

 Design Highlights:

  • 🌼 Dimensional Tattered Daisy – The layered petals of this flower add eye-catching depth and cheerful drama.
  • 🐝 Party Bee Vibes – This festive bee, complete with a tiny hat, is ready to bring the buzz!
  • 💬 Angled Sentiment Strip – “Happy bee-day!” is embossed on a bright diagonal band for a fun layout twist.
  • 🎨 Color Palette Perfection – Warm yellows, soft greens, and crisp white space = happy and fresh.
  • 💎 Honey-Like Sparkle – A few translucent embellishments add a little shine and charm.

Whether you’re celebrating someone sweet or just want to send a smile, this bee-day card is all joy and sunshine 💌

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
