What's the Buzz?

 


All 'a-buzz' about the new honey jar from The Greetery... 


Hi there! I had several honey jars on my craft table, and decided to play with different
jar toppers. The honey jar can be left open or topped with a cloth like bonnet and string.


I went 'country' with this card and paired the honey jar with The Greetery's
Oopsie Daisy. 'Dipped' my honey stick with colored GA, (a technique I explain
in my previous post).


The honeycomb background corners are just the perfect accent for the jar.


Have a sweet weekend!

Sweet as Honey with the Greetery

 


FINALLY had a chance to play with the Greetery's newest release. It's been the
busiest summer, and there's no end in sight. Won't bore with all the details, but...
have to say, I relish any time I can enjoy in the craft cave!


Sweet and Sunny is a collection of summer's best, including a honey jar and stir
stick. We have had bee hives on the farm,  and they're a joy from start to finish.
Bees are essential for fruit trees, pollinating varieties for best harvest.
Have you ever eaten a honeycomb? We gather them up at the end of summer and
keep them throughout the year. 


My honey jar has a double cloth skirt, and the stir stick has a bit of pencil shading.


So much sweetness in this card, I decided to do a few more with different Buzz 
Worthy sentiments.


Kelly Lunceford added Nuvo drops to her stir stick, which I thought adorable.
No Nuvo drops in honey color, so I created my own, and I'll share it with you.


Recipe for dripping honey: Glossy Accents + Re-Inker
I used 1 drop Altenew's Butternut. Stir into a plastic throw away cup. 
I poured it onto the stir stick and moved the stick around for a minute until
the 'honey stayed where I wanted it. then, be sure to let it dry.

Have a great week!
