Don't be blue...

Hi everyone. Apparently today is officially Blue Monday, the most miserable day of the year. Funnily enough Blue Monday is also a song by New Order, one of my all time favourite bands, so the mention of it just makes me smile!

However, I did think I should share a happy card today, in case any of you are feeling a little down.

For this card I have used Trimcraft's Dovecraft Bee Happy collection. As with all their collections it really does include everything you need to make lovely cards and the papers are beautiful.

 I started with a 13.5cm kraft card blank which I covered with the gorgeous glittery paper. I added a hexagon of paper to the centre then a strip of kraft card and yellow paper across the card, with washi tape over this.

I cut two more hexagons and fixed them to the centre of the card. I cut the sentiment and bees from gold mirri card using the dies from the collection and added them to finish.

Recently I've started to display my cards on a cupboard in our dining room so they don't just get hidden away- hopefully seeing this will be enough to keep the blues away today. Cathy x
