Bee Happy | Carta Bella Honey Bee collection | Rebecca Bee

 Hello Papermazers! Rebecca Bee here to share a third layout using Carta Bella Honey Bee collection...I just could not resist using these gorgeous supplies for one more layout, I really love this collection!

For this page, I created a square from the B side of the 3X4 journaling cards paper which features a pretty repetitive bee design. I then matted this on black Bazzil cardstock. I mounted the square panel on a piece of Emerald City Bazzill cardstock and added white faux stitching around the square panel.

A technique I enjoy using on my layouts is to print two of the same photograph one one piece of photo paper using my selphy, I like being able to stagger the two photos and add areas of interest around them.

I used this technique on this layout, using a photo of my Son playing football on his birthday as the colours and sentiment suited well.

I matted my photos on black cardstock to echo the black matting on the quare panel, and I have tucked several stickers behind the photos to create interest around the area of the photos and to focus the eye.

I used one of the stickers from the Element Stickers sheet to create a title- Bee Happy, and I added several bees and flowers which I fussy cut from the Bees and Flowers paper, tucking them in around the photographs and around the title. Some white acrylic splatters finish the layout off.

I hope you have enjoyed the layouts I have created using this lovely collection, I have certainly enjoyed using it!

Honey to the Bee | Carta Bella Honey Bee collection | Rebecca Bee

 Hey Crafty Friends! Rebecca Bee here, and as October rumbles on I have again been creating using the Honeybee collection by Carta Bella. I started by gutting a border from the Honey Phrases paper and adding a piece of Vanilla Bazzil cardstock trimmed to 11"x11"

 

I felt I really couldn't scrap using a honey bee themed collection without being inspired by hexagons, so I have used some hexagon dies to cut hexagons from the Bees and Honey paper and the Honey Phrases paper. I added faux stitching to the edges of the hexagon shapes and folded the edges back to create texture. I used the hexagons to create two clusters on my page. 

I think the flowers on the A side of the Bees and Flowers paper are gorgeous, so I have fussy cut several of them and tucked them into the hexagon clusters I created. 

I have tucked a couple of the hexagons from the Honeycomb Clusters paper in behind my photo clusters and added some of the stickers from the Element Sticker sheet into the areas of interest. Finally I have added some black ink splatters and a title using alpha stamps from my crafty stash(similar available here)

I hope you have enjoyed what I have created using this stunning collection, until next time!

Carta Bella Honeybee | Precious Moments | Rebecca Bee

 

Hello everyone! Rebecca Bee here. The weeks are whizzing by and I can't believe it's my turn again to share what I have been up to! The minute I saw the Carta Bella Honey Bee collection I knew it was for me, its SO GORGEOUS! I absolutely love it! 

The limited colour palette, the slightly vintage feel, the bee theme...its so beautiful and perfect to scrap a variety of photo themes. I absolutely adore any kind of ledger paper, so I was really attracted (like honey to the bee!) to the Bee Kind Layout paper. I used a craft knife to slice around the edge of the flowers so I could tuck my photos behind them. I them added some black ink splatters around the edge of where my photos would sit This helps bed the photos into the background paper and gives them somewhere to "sit".

I added some fussy cut honeycomb hexagons from the Honeycomb Clusters paper behind the photo and tucked some of the flower stickers from the Element Stickers sheet

I had some photos which were the perfect colour and theme for this collection- they were taken on a sunflower patch a couple of years ago. And you just know that we were intentionally wearing yellow and green because I knew I'd be scrapbooking these photos some day- you know how the mind of a scrapbooker works! 

Finally I finished the layout off with a perspex piece and some stamping to form my title. I really adore this gorgeous collection and can't wait to use it again! Until next time! Rebecca Bee aka @scrap_paper_uk
