Spring Hello Card - 3D Blackout Embossing Folder Technique | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my friends, and Happy Easter Monday!

Have you checked out the Celebrate Release from Honey Bee Stamps yet!? It is to date my favorite release! Lots of  Spring and birthday-themed awesomeness. Plus some pretty cool tools, including the shaker pockets inspired by me! 👧

For my card today I had to try again the 3D Blackout Embossing Folder Technique I shared a few weeks ago, this time using the new Sandie's Garden - 3D Embossing Folder. If you aren't the best colorist or have visual issues (like me🙋) and prefer ink blending, this is an easy way to color a background. 

CARD RECIPE

Remember the cool tools I mentioned earlier, well now Honey Bee has new Beeluxe Detail Blending Brushes! They come in sizes 5, 7, and 10 and are angled to blend into all the small creases and crevasses, making them ideal for a detailed project like this one!

• Place a piece of watercolor cardstock between the Sandie's Garden - 3D Embossing Folder. I gave it a light mist before running it through an embossing/die-cutting machine. The water just helps mold the paper and prevents any tearing.
• Add ink to the recessed side/debossed side of the embossed design. I used the new Beeluxe Detail Blending Brushes and distress oxide inks. Don't worry too much about getting a perfect blend or leaving some white areas.

• Rub a juicy black ink pad all over the colored recessed side of the panel. In hindsight, I would have used a Bristol Paper rather than the watercolor one I used to make the surface smoother for the ink application. That just means I will have to try this technique again, lol 😉
• Trim down the panel. This finished card measures 5x7.
• Glue to the largest Scallop A7 Frame. 

• Wrap coordinating ribbon across the bottom of the card and secure ends to the back using tape.
• Glue panel onto a side folding A7 Card Base.
• Stamp out the sentiment from the Storybook Spring stamp set using a matching ink color. I then heat-set it using clear embossing powder.
• Die cut using coordinating Storybook Spring - Honey Cuts.
• Add coordinating gems from the Let's Party Gem Stickers.
• Finish by adding white pen details.

If you have not tried this technique yet, now's the perfect time to dive in with the gorgeous new Sandie's Garden - 3D Embossing Folder! And for a visual treat, stay tuned for a Reel on Instagram where I'll showcase the mesmerizing process of creating this card.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Hello Autumn Blessings Slimline Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, dear friends! 👋

It's astonishing how fast September has arrived! Tomorrow, my kids will resume their school routine, and in the blink of an eye, Autumn will grace us with its presence. Here in western Canada, we anticipate its early arrival, as nature is already beginning to paint our surroundings with vibrant it's colors.

Today's card was all things fall-inspired, featuring some new goodies from the Heartfelt Harvest Release and some timeless favorites from Honey Bee Stamps.

CARD RECIPE

Apple Barrel - Die cut all the pieces for the Lovely Layers: Apple Barrel Dies. I added some distress oxide ink to the edges and gel pen details and then pieced it together. 

Sunflower  - Die cut the pieces for Lovely Layers: Sunflower Dies. Add ink to the start of the petals near the center. I used a dark brown Copic marker to darken the center. Glue the layers together and finish the center with the copper gems from the Homestead Harvest Gems. To create a stem I just cut a thin piece of the same cardstock color I used for the leaves. 

Sentiment - Comes from the Slimline Sentiments: Eyelet Dies. Cut out the hello 3 times, stack and glue them together. To make it glossy, I added Bee Creative Watermark Ink to ink the top and then used clear embossing powder to melt onto it. 

Background - The Slimline frame I used comes from the Slimline Sentiments: Stitched Dies, to the panel I ink blended Broken China Distress Oxide Ink. I then used the fence, grass, and cloud dies from the Horizon Slimline Borders to finish the background elements.

On the inside, I combined a couple of sentiments from the Heartfelt Hello Stamps, using Intense Black Ink and some creative masking. 

I'm not too upset Fall is just around the corner as I do love the Pumpkin Spice Lattes, the freshly baked apple pies, and the beautiful colors of the Fall. I hope this Hello Autumn Blessings Slimline Card also gets you a little excited about it too.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
