I love to use geometric dies, I think they’re the most versatile!
can’t wait to see how you use this die.
Oh gosh, I love frames and cover plates and apparently love building scenes, too!
I love to use dies like the Honey Been layering dies. They make my cards look great!
I love dies that put a pinpoint pattern on the cardstock but don’t cut it. Honey Bee and Concord & 9th both make some really gorgeous pin point dies. Happy WCMD!
I love ink blending. It’s one of my favorite techniques. Thanks Kelly.
Like to use a background die to create interest for the card panel.
I love to use shape dies, because I can transform them into so many things. I have not tried scene dies yet though….
I usually use shapes when I’m making cards.
I love to use a cover plate or a frame die on my cards. I rarely create a scene, but Kelley has some great inspiration.
a tone on tone background made with a background die is a great way I like to add texture and a bit of dimension too
Gorgeous card, Kelley! I’m loving all of the stenciling tips. I love background dies that are geometric and floral.
So so pretty! Love the scene!
I usually use dies that punch out a stamp
that I’ve colored. Also use a lot of shapes
that can be background material. Love
that tree in the card. thanks for sharing.
Oh gosh, I use all kinds of dies from basic shapes like circles to flowers and leaves to sentiments and shadows. Love my dies!!
I really like using cover dies with geometric designs – clean lines, lattice
I love to use dies that make nature scenes.
I’ve never used Honey Bee stencils. I guess it’s time to start.
Love layering dies and cover plates!
I love dies that can be layered to add dimension! ????
Gorgeous!
Kelley has the best first name and is a wonderful instructor. She is so creative! ❤️
I tend to use floral dies the most
Love the card. It’s great to see someone creating with your products so we can see what they actually look like on cardstock!!! It would be wonderful to win. Thank you.
Love, love, love this card ❤️
Kelley, your card was so beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Loved the pencil crayon tip for adding some shading.
I like to use cute little animals that stamp and then have the dies to match for cutting out.
Once again, I need that HB set. I absolutely love that card. Happy WCMD Kelley.
Your card is so beautiful. I always get homesick for the east coast in the fall. Your card made me smile!
I like layering dies with stitching.
Your blending of die cuts is always a step above. Waiting patiently for my order and so tempted to place another!! Love your stuff at Honey Bee. Thanks
I think I need to do me some shopping! That is a great stencil!! Beautiful card!!
The depth the colored pencil add is amazing
Love the color combo on this card! Very calming.
I love using dies – mostly background dies that cover the whole card, but also shapes. I have not used scene dies like these much, but they are on my list!
I love to use frame dies mostly but am now curious about these scene builders too!
Kelley! this card is a literal work of art!!!! Amazing! I love using die plates so fast and make the card that much more special
Beautiful scene card. Thank you Kelley. Happy Crafting.
I love using all sorts of dies in my backgrounds. If I have to pick one as a favorite it would be frame dies. ????
I love cover plate dies, but you can’t beat classic shapes for versatility.
Beautiful car Kelly. I love all my dies, these all over back ground dies are fun to piece or color with stencils!
I love coverplate backgrounds, particularly pierced.
Beautiful card and what a technique! Thank you Kelley!
Haven’t done much of blending backgrounds like this, but would love to try it. Kelley makes it look so easy!
Beautiful card! I like to use background dies and coverplates.
I definitely need to look into using dies for backgrounds. I’m not sure I’ve ever done that.
I love using cover plates with geometric patterns for my backgrounds. Especially if they are tone on tone ones.
I love cover plate dies with shape designs for my card fronts.
Who doesn’t love Kelley…..
