For their newest installment of United We Flourish, Ellen Hutson and Honey Bee have collaborated to design a set called Sending Sunshine that is chock-full of words of encouragement, and kindness ... well, they are just like sunshine on a cloudy day ... AND there is a fun coordinating die set, too!
What fun I've had using this set, and another little 'honey' of a stamp set from Honey Bee Stamps, called "Busy Bees!"
A tiny little sunshine die was debossed onto my panel
after the smooshing dried!
Don't you love that layered sentiment die-cut?
[pssst E.H. has that little sun-die that I used - just sayin']
Inside: "... or maybe, like a solar eclipse,
you just don't wanna know what that looks like?"
I've added just a bit of yellow and white Prismacolor-ing.
The Bee's wings were treated to simple hash-tagging!
MFT's Snow die provided the twinkle,
and Wonky rectangle.
Inside: One would just be lost without the other!
Ellen Hutson has pretty strong feelings about giving thanks... I'll share Ellen's own words with you:
Last
November we began celebrating our 10th anniversary with the theme United
We Flourish. And what does United We Flourish mean? It means that our company
would not be here without the amazing companies we work with, the designers who
create stunning projects showcasing the wonderful products being created AND
you, our fabulous customers! YOU are such a vital part of our creative
community - you inspire & encourage us! Your response to United We Flourish
was overwhelming and heart-warming. We heard repeatedly from you that you
appreciate how our little company works together with the other manufacturers
we carry to bring you their products and education showing how to use those
products. To thank you for your constant support and encouragement, we have
partnered with some of our friends to offer exclusive limited edition stamp
& die sets!!! These sets will be available for a limited time (most likely
3-6 months) after each release, depending on how quickly you snap them up. The
theme of these stamps sets are uplifting and fun.
We
are thrilled to present the third one to you...Sending Sunshine by Honey Bee Stamps exclusively for Ellen Hutson LLC.
I've had a blast, and feel very blessed to be creating these cards with the newest United We Flourish collaboration with Honey Bee!
Now it's your turn to buzzzz over to the shop so you can get your very own set!
Thank YOU so much for stopping by today...
