Hello Lily Bee Fans! Today, my friend and the talented Becky Williams and I are stopping by the blog to share a few quick cards with the theme of "Repetition" in mind.
Becky and I have two completely different takes on this theme.
Here is what Becky had to say about this theme:
There are so many ways that you could interpret the theme "repetition." I chose to do so with the shapes on my cards. Triangles are such a big trend in scrapbooking these days so I decided to jump on the bandwagon and use some on this first card.
Take a look at what Becky came up with:
Supplies: Pinwheel (6x6 Tiny Tablet, Label Stickers, Chipboard Stickers, Embellishment Bundle), Sweet Shoppe (Embellishment Bundle).
I used some metal dies to cut the triangles in the front of the card base and backed each one with papers from the Pinwheel collection. I continued the repetition of shapes by adding a few circle accents.
Butterflies are one of my favorite shapes so I chose to feature them on this card. I used multiple punched butterflies (Fiskars) as well as creating a border of sentiment and heart stickers to continue the "repetition" theme.
I took this challenge a little differently and decided to put my papers to work. I chose the same patterns from the three newest Lily Bee collections and mixed them each on different cards.
I cut papers from the Sweet Shoppe and Pinwheel collections into triangles for this card, and used a repetitive pattern when laying them on the card base.
Supplies: Sweet Shoppe (Tiny Tablet, Chipboard Stickers), Pinwheel (Tiny Tablet, Letter Stickers, Label Stickers)
I added some fun Lily Bee chipboard flowers near my sentiment.
Next, I made this card by combining Destination, along with the Pinwheel collection.
Supplies: Destination (Tiny Tablet, Embellishment Bundle), Pinwheel (Tiny Tablet), Persnickety (Clear Stamps)
To create the background of this card, I took the similar patterns and punched them with a tab punch and then layered the papers over each other.
My last card was created by mixing the mini chevron patterns in Pinwheel and Sweet Shoppe.
Supplies: Pinwheel (Tiny Tablet, Circle & Tag Stickers, Label Stickers, Letter Stickers), Sweet Shoppe (Tiny Tablet, Chipboard Stickers)
For this last card, I simpy cut blocks of paper the same size and layered them over the card base and stitching them down. I added a chipboard banner piece and label sticker along with my sentiment!
Becky and I hope you have enjoyed the cards today - we hope you will share your "Repetition" ideas with us in our Lily Bee Flickr group!
