Recessed Embossing Folder Background Cards - Honey Bee Stamps

Recessed, 3D Embossing Folder, Background, Honey Bee Stamps, how to, hand made card, Stamps, stamping, die cutting, card making, ilovedoingallthingscrafty,Ink Blending,card technique,

Hello friends, 

Today I have a few cards inspired by a couple of my Instagram friends, Enna @ritzyhag and Cindy @crncards If you like my cards today, you will definitely love the inspiration from these two very talented artists!

As you may already know embossing folders have a positive or raised side and a negative or recessed side. I will use the negative or recessed side of the paper for both cards.

CARD RECIPE

  • Place a piece of watercolor cardstock in between the Spring Medley 3D Embossing Folder. I used Canson watercolor paper and gave it a light mist before running it through an embossing/die-cutting machine.
  • Add ink to the recessed side of the embossed design. I used small ink-blending shader brushes and distress oxide inks. 
  • Spray the entire panel with water and allow the inks to mix.
  • To add sparkle to the background, I added some drops of Bee Creative Liquid Shimmer.
  • Allow the panel to completely dry before the next step.

  • Once the embossed panels are completely dry, use the Bee Creative Intense Black Ink Pad and rub the black ink all over the colored recessed side of the panel.
  • Trim the panel down and black ink to the trimmed edges.
  • Glue a black panel to a card base. I left a little white edge around the perimeter of the card.
  • Add foam to the back of the embossed panel and glue it to the card front.
  • Glue the sentiments in place using some foam strips.
  • Finish by adding some gems in the centers of the flowers.

This next card was done the exact same way as the first one only this time I used the Clover Petals 3D Embossing Folder.

 Also, I did not add any Bee Creative Liquid Shimmer and used the Marvelous Moments Gem Stickers.

I love how simple this detailed background was to make. It looks like so much work but it actually came together fairly quickly. The part that took the longest was the drying time of the panels.

Hope you enjoyed these colorful background panels using Embossing Folders. Hopefully, they inspire you to give this technique a try. Remember you can use any water-reactive media to add color to your background. Just have fun!

DIY Four Leaf Clover Card | Honey Bee Stamps

DIY, Four Leaf Clover, Card, Honey Bee Stamps, Lucky, how to, hand made card, Stamps, stamping, die cutting, card making, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Lace Heart Layering Frames Dies,pattern Paper,

Happy March, everyone!

With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, I felt inspired to create a four-leaf clover card using Honey Bee Stamp supplies. Crafting it from scratch is always a joy for me, as I get to explore new ways to use my supplies creatively and develop unique designs. Although I had a few moments of doubt during the process, I'm pleased with the end result. Let me walk you through the process.

CARD RECIPE

Pattern papers - Giddy for Gingham Paper Pad, Gingham Happy Hearts Paper Pad

Glitter Paper - Recollections Spring Glitter Paper Pad

Frames, Heart Dies - Lace Heart Layering Frames Dies

Rainbow Dies - Sweet Stacks Ovals

Sentiment - Mini Messages Stamps

Ink - Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink

Banner - Mini Messages Dies

Gem - Simply Spring Gem Stickers 


Creating the Rainbow:


To form the rainbow, I began by die-cutting the largest oval from the Sweet Stacks Ovals set. Then, I used progressively smaller oval dies to cut the previous die cuts, layering them to create the rainbow effect. After aligning the thin rainbow cuts and securing them together, I sliced them into smaller pieces. These pieces were then arranged onto the pattern paper layer frame, ensuring the ends met in the center behind the clover.

Crafting the Clover:

For the clover, I cut out four medium scalloped hearts from the Lace Heart Layering Frames Dies, scored them down the center, and glued only the left side of each heart. This technique gave the clover dimension while still allowing it to fold flat inside an envelope. I initially hadn't planned on adding the pattern paper heart layer, but in the end, I am glad I did because I had to cover up the mess I had made underneath. I tried adding white gel pen details and I also tried some ink blending to give the plain green petals life, but it looked so terrible. Although I encountered some challenges with the design, adding the pattern paper heart layer helped enhance the overall look.

Finishing Touches:

To complete the card, I stamped out the sentiment using Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink, then heat set it with white embossing powder. I then used a banner die from the Mini Messages Dies to cut out the sentiment and then glued it in place. 
For one final touch of sparkle, I added a green gem to the center of the clover from the Simply Spring Gem Stickers

Gatefold Love Filled Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Gatefold, Love, Card, Honey Bee Stamps, how to, hand made card, Stamps, stamping, die cutting, card making, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Vintage Love, Stencils

Hello friends!

While Valentine's Day may be behind us, there are countless opportunities ahead to celebrate love. The card I'm sharing today is ideal for the upcoming wedding season, serving perfectly as a wedding invitation, bridal shower note, or heartfelt thank-you card.


This gatefold card began with die-cutting the scalloped frame from the Lace Heart Layering Frames. I then masked the scalloped edges and added Moonstone Glimmer Paste over the Vintage Flourish Stencil. Once the paste was dry, I sliced the panel down the center and set it aside.

Next, I die-cut two of the half-scalloped circles from the Lovely Layouts: Posted Dies, the scalloped heart from the Lace Heart Layering Frames Dies, a few of the roses and leaves from the Bold Backgrounds: Vintage Roses Dies that I trimmed and pieced together. I then assembled the card front onto a 4 x 11-inch card base, scoring it at 2 3/4 inches from each end, once folded will create a gatefold card base. I trimmed the base slightly smaller than the front so that the scalloped edges would be more visible.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a couple of sentiments from the Mailbox Memos Stamp Set
