Extra inspiration from Lil Bee's Kits

Welcome crafty peeps!!! Today I'm sharing with you another card from Lil Bee's latest kit that includes mainly patterned papers from Webster's Pages...
I started this creation with adhering Handsome Vintage paper on Accessorize paper for the base. Then trimmed a 2"x2" square and two strips of paper for the banner and sentiment. Next, popped up the square after adhering that leafy cardstock sticker as well as the banner. Later added a piece of Prima swirl and popped up the sentiment. Lastly, I placed the flower form Pebbles and few rhinestones from KaiserCraft...

a little birdie told me....

...lyrics full of pearls :) Yeah, that's what the bird is singing here (lol)...The card below is another creation for Lil Bee's latest kits and if you happen to be interested in making elegant cards or LO's then these kits are too good to miss!!!
I started with layering a black cardstock on the base one (red). Then I stamped birds and flowers on Country Estate diecut (Webster's Pages) leaving space for the script stamping. After stamping the words,  I trimmed the floral part of the same paper and laid it at an angle. Next, pressed the rub-on cage on Restful Retreat paper and adhered the stamped paper in a tilted position too. Later, popped that birdie, glued a flower and added a swirl projecting from the bird's beak :)

Lil Bee's Latest Release

This card was created from Webster's Pages Trendsetter Collection, a true trendsetter!!!! I used here Handsome Vintage pp for the base, then punched the backside and adhered it towards the end. Later, trimmed a piece and applied liquid pearls around the borders. Next, I made a flower from the fabric ribbon (the same collection) and placed a button on the centre. Finally added the vellum and applied glossy accent...

So I started with adhering the base pp after punching all corners. Then I trimmed four equal sized squares from Little Cutie Collection (Imaginisce) and adhered on green cardstocks. After popping up the squares, I added that cute felt embellie on the centre and lastly finished with buttons.....

Loved this collection very much so I got more papers and coordinating stamps too!!!! Hope you liked it as much as I did :) Smooches,,,,,,,,

In this card, I used pp from Lil Bee's Boutique April Kit that included unique products from Pink Paislee. I covered the cardstock front with that vintage paper then laid the punched papers that were edge-distressed. Later, I pressed the butterfly rub-on and glued the grid at an angle. Finally, added the swirl and replaced the red button in paper flower with a coordinating bling.....

Stamped the sentiment in Shabby Shutters Distress Ink:

You're so TEA-RRIFIC!

Lil Bee's Boutique have started their sneak peeks for April's fun kits. Among the products included are those used in today's card- Pink Paislee Soiree Collection. It's such a stinkin cute mix of bold and cheerful colors as well as patterns...

First I laid the yellow pp and glued the party banner on the side. Later, I cut the design on pp and replaced the cake with an interior of my own. So I took a white cardstock and stamped the patterned line with mustard seed distress ink. Then popped up the pre-cut and stamped tea pot that was embellished with a twine on the neck and a gem on the handle. I finished the card with the sentiment, some cute flags and three small pink rhinestones....

More Cards from Lil Bee's Kits

Lil Bee's latest kits are ready for you to grab!!! Want to see them, click HERE. Aren't they so gorgeous?? In my opinion, beautiful products make beautiful cards so I guarantee you will have astounding results with these kits :):)
Now this card is one of my favorites!!! Lots of elements and details have been added that give life to my card. I started with distressing the edges in both papers: base pp and Reflections paper giving a vintage look. Then popped the cage with that birdie behind and tied a small distressed knot at the top. Fortunately, I got a coordinating flower from Prima that was highlighted by red brackets from Webster's Stickers. Later, I adhered a silver stem pearl from the cage over which lies a distressed chipboard bird. The last step was adding those red pearls that connected between the accents!!!!! Adore it so much :)

This is another elegant card using the same March Kits. First I stitched the borders then distressed the canvas using Lace Paper as a stencil. Later, the ribbon was adhered and the canvas glued to the base cardstock. The embellishments were assembled in the center to give a focal point and a little bird (Inkadinkado) was stamped with mixed poster colors to match the pp.

Then I popped up each alphabet in the word "SPECIAL" and that cute heart from Webster's stickers. As usual, finished the card with embellies and I joined the two flowers together :) Soon will share the tutorial at Lil Bee's Blog.....

Another card for our Lil Bee's

Today I'll share with you a card that was already posted at Lil Bee's Facebook page. If you're not a fan yet, then just click the 'Like' button and get ready to be inspired :)
This card is loaded with layers and Prima accents!!! I first started with Heritage Park paper on where I laid a stripe of Ashton Annalee Cardstock (the dark pink). However, to get the scalloped edge down, I took another piece of the latter paper, punched, assembled it then adhered with the top paper. Finally I glued the colored lace (to coordinate), ribbon, Bubble Gum Candy Gems and placed the beautiful flower...

Love those spiral stems:

Full of layers:
