White on Kraft Fall Themed Wedding Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!

Many of you know that I have been dealing with visual problems. I am now legally blind in my left eye due to damage to my cornea. Normally I would have colored these beautiful Grateful Gatherings Stamps I am featuring today, but because I don't want to cause more strain on my eyes I want to show you how pretty a card can be even with minimal coloring. This technique is also great for those of you who don't have the time, can't, or like to color.

CARD RECIPE

• To begin, I prepped the kraft card panel with antistatic powder. I then used the Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink to stamp out the images from the Grateful Gatherings Stamp set. I then heat-set the lines with white embossing powder. 
• Next, Die cut the Wagon wheel using the Grateful Gatherings Die set from the panel and set it aside. 
• On the back of the panel add adhesive around the opening and add a piece of acetate cut to fit over the window. 
• On a card base, center and glue the Wagon Die cut. Use the top Panel as a guide by looking through the window.
• Use foam tape to pop up the front panel for the shaker area. Fill in the center of the shaker area with shaker pieces and adhere the top panel in place.
• To the front add the sentiment from the Grateful Gatherings Stamp set done in Bee Creative Metallic Gold Pigment Ink and embossing powder and die cut using the coordinating die.
• To embellish this card further, I used a white pencil to shade in the flowers and foliage.
•  I also added some Pearl Stickers and white pen gel details for interest.
• For that touch of sparkle, I added Bee Creative Liquid Shimmer to the flower centers and the leaves.

• Finally, for the inside sentiment,  I stamped out the congratulations from the Pickup Lines Stamp Set using Bee Creative Intense Black Ink.

I hope you have enjoyed this post and this beautiful Fall-Themed Wedding Shaker Card. Remember there are so many possibilities and ways to stretch out your supplies by simply using a different technique.

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

Keyhole Shaker Card | Hero Arts

Hello friends, 

Happy Friday! I have had a crazy busy couple of weeks and finally made it back into the craft room. I spent most of last week on my time off from work, re-doing my craft room. If you are curious and would like to see it make sure you go check out my stories and Reel over on Instagram. I have saved the stories to a highlight. 

So let's get on with today's card. This simple shaker card features the Keyhole design from this My Monthly Hero Kit January 2022 and I used it to create a Welcome Home card for a friend who will be moving soon.

If you know me I love shakers, although I must admit it has been a while since I have made a traditional one as I prefer making my frameless shaker versions now. So for this card, I cut out the keyhole window using the Fancy cover plate from Kraft cardstock. I then added the acetate to the back of the opening and then built the foam well to house the iridescent heart sequins around the opening and edges. On a piece of black cardstock, I stamped out the sentiment "Welcome Home" that comes from the Signpost Stamp & Cut XL and heat embossed it in white, and added a pile of the heart sequins to the center of the cardstock. I then removed the protective layer of the foam tape from the top panel and lined the bottom of the keyhole with the sentiment to create the shaker element. This layer was then glued onto a Kraft card front panel that was glued onto the card base. 

To finish I added a key to the front of the window that is included in the My Monthly Hero Kit January 2022.

A super simple card for someone moving to a new home. This gorgeous MMH kit hasn't sold out yet, so make sure you grab it while quantities last.

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

Repeat Stamping and Coloring with Pencils on Kraft | Honey Bee Stamps

OMG, you guys this picture makes me so happy! The colors, the images, but most of all happy because I think have overcome my fear of coloring with pencils, and that's what excites me the most!


CARD DETAILS

If you all have been following my coloring on Instagram for Kathy Racoosin's Daily Marker Challenge you would have seen some sneak peeks of the cupcake card as I posted a speed coloring video of the process. I had so much fun practicing and was loving the results that I had to make some more.

So here is the cupcake yumminess card that started my new love of pencils, and by the way, I used Prismacolor Pencils for all my cards today. For this card, I stamped out the cupcake and the cherries from the PIECE OF CAKE stamp set using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and a stamping Block for quick stamping.  To color the images in I began by laying down the darkest color first and then the white highlight area then layered on a lighter color to blend out the two. I then repeated the steps to add more pigment. Once there is enough wax left behind from the pencils the wax begins to blend quite nicely with a little more pressure. I used medium pressure for the first layers and then would end with harder pressure. I am by no means an expert and consider myself a beginner but I did like the result I achieved.

To make these images pop even further, I went back over all the black lines with a very sharp tip using the black Prismacolor pencil.

To finish off this card I stamped out the sentiment below from the ONE OF A KIND set and die cut it using the coordinating ONE OF A KIND Honey Cut set.

I couldn't resist using the cutest Bee's, from the HAPPY FALL Y'ALL set for my next card. Here again, I used Versafine Onyx Black ink and stamped out all the images using a stamping block and then again repeated the same coloring process as above starting with the darkest color and then ending with the lightest. I used the same principles as I would if I was using alcohol markers, the only thing that is different was laying down the white highlight first as I was working with Kraft paper instead of a white paper. To make these really pop once again I went back over the lines with a very sharpened black pencil.

Just to give you an idea of how long it took, each full-sized bodied bee took about 10 mins to color. So needless to say, this card took a couple of days and a few sessions to complete as I didn't have the time to do it all in one sitting. But just look at how cute it turned out!!!

For the sentiment, I used the Happy Beeday greeting from the HI HONEY stamp set and then used the HI HONEY Coordinating Honey Cuts to die cut them out.

For this last card, I pulled out the SHINE ON set, one of my favorite girlie Honey Bee Stamp sets. Again using the same techniques mentioned above. This time to make coloring quicker and because I had learned some things from the previous cards, I first laid down the white pencil highlight layer to all the areas I wanted to highlight and then added the other colors. 

  

The Sparkle On sentiment comes from the SHINE ON set, and the "your birthday" comes from the WISH set.

I hope these cards inspire you to pull out your pencils and play with them as mine had just been collecting dust for the past few years!

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
