Spring Nest Mother's Day Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends! 

With Mother's Day quickly approaching, there's no better way to show your love and appreciation for your mom than with a handmade card. Honey Bee Stamps offers a wonderful selection of Spring dies and paper pads to help you create a heartfelt card for your mom this year.

For this particular card, I decided to leave off a sentiment on the front, creating a bit of mystery until the inside is read. It's a fun and unique way to make a card, and I may have to try it more often!

CARD RECIPE

To create your Mother's Day card, start by die-cutting the Lovely Layers: Nest Dies and Spring Birds Dies in your favorite colors of cardstock. Layer the different pieces to create a dimensional scene on your card. For some interest, I added white gel pen details and glossy accents on the bird's eye and beak. I also used Bee Shimmery Liquid on the eggs for sparkle. Then set the glued scene aside to work on the card base. 

Use the largest frame of Spring Vine Layering Frames to die-cut the card base using the partial die-cut method. Place the plate edge just before the end of the die, lining it up to the fold of the card base. This will create see-through corners on your card. Then die-cut another layer and glue it onto the card front to finish the scalloped edge at the fold.

Using a few more of the frames from the Spring Vine Layering Frames, die-cut the background layers for the card front. The pattern piece comes from the Simply Spring Paper Pad that I mounted using foam dots. For a coordinating envelope, I used the remainder of the pattern piece of paper to line the envelope, this time using the reverse side. (See the last image) Also not pictured here, I created a coordinating wax seal to complete the envelope.

Glue the rest of the die-cut elements onto the card front. For an added touch of interest, I used a thin ribbon and looped through the piercings of the center frame.

On the inside, I stamped the Mother's Day sentiment from This One's For The Girls using Bee Creative Intense Black Ink.

Finally, I added some embellishments stickers to the card's front corners to add sparkle and texture. I love how this card turned out and your mom will love hers too! I'm sure she will appreciate all the time and effort you put into creating a beautiful and heartfelt Mother's Day card just for her.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my card-making process. I hope you found it helpful and inspiring for your own projects. Happy Crafting!

Pansies for Mom Card - No Line Coloring using Fadeout Ink

Hello Friends!

Today I'm sharing another card for Mom today. Yes, another one... and yes I only have one mom, but it's always nice to have Mom cards on hand because not only are they perfect for Mother's Day they are also great for other occasions (A just because card, or even a birthday card too, plus you can give them away to anyone who is Mom).

So for this card, I wanted to play a little more with the Fadeout Ink from Ink On 3 as I love the no line watercolor look and still need tons of practice. So for practice, I played with the new Pansies set creating this beautiful floral background. Overall I am super happy with the results. Yes, it isn't perfect but that's OK because I keep learning from each experience and that's what is important to me plus I had fun doing it. This ink makes the no line coloring process so easy. Honestly you drop the color next to the stamped lines and the pigment gets absorbed, making it super easy to see where you stamped. That is the magical part about this ink.  

  To create this card I had to do quite a bit of masking along the card panel. Once I was happy with the stamped image I began coloring it in with a variety of distress inks (see colors listed below in supply links). First I laid down a light layer of color to define my stamped images and then went back adding more color and depth to each pansy. Once my coloring was done, I die cut the panel with the pierced rectangle and mounted it on to the card base. I then stamped out the sentiment using Blackout ink and added a few more flowers to frame the sentiment that I had cut out with the coordinating dies.

To finish the card I added some detail lines to the center of each Pansy using a burnt ochre Prismacolor pencil. To each flower, I also added a bit of white with a gelly roller and topped it off with a small drop of Dandelion yellow Tonic drops. For some shine, I added a few scattered iridescent bubbles.

Hope you were inspired by this no line colored card for Mom. For more inspiration using the Fadeout ink or the Pansies Stamp set, visit the Ink On 3!
