Hello Stamplings!
Happy June! And Emily, Hazel, Robin, and Shayna! I did that because it's easier than accepting the fact that we are in the sixth month of 2021. That's just crazy! I hope you are doing well and you are enjoying a great weekend!
Things are sunny and busy here, so I will keep this uncharacteristically short.😁
Onefer
For this OLC (no-layer) design, I cut a homemade stencil from the NBUS "Honeycomb Curve" die by poppystamps.
The two buzzing bees sharing gossip are from Crystal Clear Impressions (out of business) and the sediment is from Paper Smooches. Hammy winked the wings. This card was uber QACAS, just like we like 'em.
Challenges
- AAA Cards: #191. No layers plus twist of hexagons.
- Alphabet Challenge: E is for easy card.
- Double D: Bee Inspired.
Twofer
This birthday design was cobbled together from bits a while back and never blogged. The butterfly die is from Alexandra Renke, which I swiped with my Ziggies. The background brownish schplats and dots are actually shiny gold and the sediment was die-cut from a Brusho panel.
Challenges
- Pixie's Snippets Playground: Anything snippets goes.
- Seize the Birthday: Anything birthday goes. (No topping.)
- Try It On Tuesday: Butterflies.

Hi Darnell, Cards are great. I particularly like the butterfly one.
Hope you have a lovely weekend. Sue
Beautiful cards Darnell!
A gorgeous pair of cards floating by Darnell - or should that be buzzing and fluttering by? Love your use of the honeycomb die, and the end result is stunning - and needless to say, Hammy's contribution was crucial, so the bee's could fly... 'cos if the bees don't have glitter and schmarkle on their wings, the air would go straight through them, and they would be earth-bound!
Stay safe
Blessings
Maxine
Two gorgeous cards Darnell and a very happy June to you too. I can't believe that we are already half way through the year. Time sure is going fast these days.

Both cards are so pretty, but I am loving your bee card
Have a great day!

Fab cards Darnell.
Two great cards! Thanks for sharing. Short and sweet comment. ;)
Pretty cards today as always. Enjoy your weekend!
Oh "honey" this is so cute with the buzzing bees around the honeycomb. Beautiful blending on the honeycomb. Love those bright colors you used on the butterfly and all those splatters look good.
What a great sentiment for your gossipers! Such bright and fun cards to end the week and brighten my morning!
Love the "dancing" bees and the curved bee hive design, Dolly! I actually get excited to see a bee on a flower lately. We see far too few of them around here! Your multi-colored butterfly is awesome. Wouldn't it be fun to spot one like that in the garden? Hope you have a great weekend!
Fabulous cards, Darnell! Love the buzzy bees and the pretty striped butterfly. Enjoy your beautiful weather!
I hear myself saying ohhhhhh and awwwww. Beautiful cards. [Bunny]
Two very cheery cards love the inking on your beehive stencil xx
OMG...LOVE your black and yellow homemade honeycomb stenciling for your busy bees, Dolly! A really clever, creative and Stunning card, my friend. Your 2nd card's rainbow colored die cut butterfly is gorgeous too. Your splatters and watercolored die cut sentiment are wonderful too. TFS my friend. WE are staying very busy too with all our gardening, etc. WE get our booster vaccines on Thursday...can't wait. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Two great cards, Darnell. Especially the beautifully CAS butterfly one - such lovely colours and splatters! I agree, it's hard to believe we're in the sixth month of 2021 - not sure what happened to winter and spring.
Such pretty eye candy today Darnell. Stay cool, and I hope you are feeling better each day. Hugs.
Wonderful and beautiful creations, good to hear you are busy and enjoying the sun.

Hi Darnell, two gorgeous card, both beautifully designed, Kate x
Your CAS cards are always so striking! Two fabulous creations once again and the bees one looks really amazing!!
Great cards Darnell! Your homemade stencil is fabulous and your colorful butterfly with the splatters is fantastic!
Good to see you've been working in the playhouse, Darnell. I love the idea of making your own stencil and the colors look fab. And that butterfly? Who wouldn't love to see one like that flitting around.
Anything winged is my jam recently so I'm absolutely gaga over both of these cards. Hope it hasn't been too hot at your house. It's over 100 up here for a week. Here's wishing that you're feeling much better.
Gorgeous cards Darnell I really love them both hope you are keeping safe and well hugs xxx

Hello Darnell. I love everything about this fantastic card from the cute piece to the honeycomb that sneaks up the side. Thanks for sharing it with us at Double D challenge.
Fabulous blending of your busy bee card and loved how the bees where gossiping together x. Such a vibrant and pretty birthday card and loving those splats x.
Hello! Glad to see you are creating and hoping this indicates that you are feeling better? Fabulous cards... I adore the bee card, the honeycomb is so striking!
Both cards are so well designed and lovely!
Your honeycomb and bee card will cause quite the buzz! Love the boldness of the yellow and black honeycomb design.
And congrats on using up some "bits" as I know that's not always easy -- it's much easier to make them ;0)
Summer is standing at the door and knocking -- enjoy it, even though moments seem to be fleeting
Your bee card is so cute. Love the cute bees. Your colorful butterfly is so pretty and I love the splatters. Two great cards. Thanks for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.
These are fabulous Darnell, the bees are particularly apt at the moment, we have had two swarms in the village over the last week!! Gorgeous colours on the butterfly card too xx
I just love the varied colors of the honeycomb and those 2 gigantic bees are cute on paper LOL the butterfly looks so pretty too with the spatters and bright summery colors! Fun cards! I hope you are well and the ole back is healing properly. I can't believe how quickly this year is whizzing by!! Take care, stay cool Huggers!

Two great cards, Darnell - especially love the stenciled honeycomb!! Just a fun card!! The colorful butterfly with the splatters looks amazing too!!
Cute card. Love the images and sentiment. So glad you shared over at Alphabet challenge.
super one layer-I have an idea in mind for this challenge but not made it to paper yet! Loving how the hive curves. And wow to the vibrant colours of the second card-sending hugs xx
Hi Dolly. LOVE that honeycomb! Great colours and those bees are adorable. PERFECT sentiment!! Gorgeous, colourful butterfly. You are on a roll, my friend! Love, Lolly
They are both so pretty xoxo
Wowser, those card are fabulous! Love them both the same. Sounds to me like your back isn't ready for a run around the block just yet. I could stand to one side, in a folding chair, and cheer you on if that helps, sigh.
Hugs

Your Buzzy Bee card is stunning, I love how the stencilling looks, it really gives your card dimension (or the appearance of!). The AR butterfly on your second card is so pretty in those beautiful cards.
It is amazing to think we are in June already, this year is going even quicker than last year and that was fast enough. Take care my friend. Love and hugs, Annie xxx
Two gorgeous cards Darnell. Love the honeycomb ..... fab colours and those buzzy bees are so cute. Such a pretty butterfly design too xx

Such a sweet card with the pretty bees and the honeycomb stencil made from a die which sweeps down the card beautifully and love the colours Darnell, and then the super butterfly and shiny gold splatted background and a wonderful die cut sentiment cut from a Brushoed piece..perfect! x
Two fabulous cards, 6 fun challenges! I love how each of them came together. The bees with your homemade honeycomb are especially appealing to me. I'm surprised that I have so few bee things of any substance. I agree these first 6 months have gone by like crazy.
Both cards are beautifully created, isn't if great how we can use our die cuts for stenciling? Fabulous BEE card of our challenge at Double D, thank you for joining us!

Those bees are awesome!
Really love these cards, Darnell! The first one is fabulous & inspiring!
What a great card with your pair of bumble bees - just right for our 'E is for easy' Alphabet challenge. Thanks for joining us! Deborah x
Fabulous card. Thank you for joining the AAA Cards Challenge.

Such beautiful cards, Darnell! Great way to stretch the NBUS die for the honey comb! Also a great layout and placement of the gossiping bees :) Thank you for joining us at AAA Cards. Hugs ~ Ishani
I love this set of colors used in the butterfly card. This die from Aleksandra Renke is stunning in these colors.
The first card is stunning with colors blending so nicely. And I appreciate the idea of using die to create a stencil.
