Happy 2020 New Years Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Happy New Years' Eve Eve Everyone!

Can you believe 2020 is just around the corner? Wow, it feels like 2019 has just flown by. Today I have a fun card to celebrate the upcoming New Decade of the '20s and I have to wonder what cool things the future has left to bring us. 

CARD DETAILS

I began this card by blending out some polka dots in the background using DETAIL BLENDER BRUSHES and POLKA DOT BACKGROUND STENCILS. See links below for Distress Oxide Inks used.

I then die cut the panel using the largest frame from the DOUBLE STITCHED SQUARE DIE set, that I glued onto a black 5.5-inch square card base.

Then I die cut the largest star from the STACKING STARS DIES from silver glitter cardstock and popped that up with foam onto the center of the card.

Next, I die cut the HAPPY out of different cardstocks to layer and piece together. And as for 2020, I used the BEE BOLD NUMERIC DIES and added a gold shadow layer by slightly offsetting the numbers before bluing them together.

May this card inspire some cute card creations. Wishing you all a Happy 2020 and I hope you all are enjoying the Holidays with your loved ones, or just spending some creative time in the craft room!

Thank you for stopping by and supporting my creations with comments and encouragement!

See you all Next Year!... and until then Happy Crafting Friends 👋

Happy 2019 New Years Rainbow Bokeh Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Can you believe 2018 is almost over!?! I sure can't 😲 

Not sure about the rest of you but this year has just flown by in a blink of an eye! I have so much to be thankful for this year, especially for all the opportunities this Crafty Community has brought me. With that said, I am looking forward to 2019 and hope I can figure out how to better balance work, family and crafting so that it won't feel like I am burning a candle at both ends.😵

For today's card, I wanted to create a party on paper and hopefully, that comes across.

CARD DETAILS

To create this card, I began by blending out distress oxide inks onto Bristol paper in somewhat of diagonal rainbow order (see links below for colors). I then used all of Polka Dot Background Stencils to create the Bokeh effect on the rainbow background by simply using a baby wipe to lift color from the circles. 

Once the background was completely dry, I used the dotted pattern stamp from the Bitty Patterns stamp set to add confetti to the edge of the background and then used gold embossing to heat set the sprinkles.

Next, I ran the background panel through the die cutting machine with the largest Deckle Edge Frame Die and then attached it to an A2 card base using foam tape. The letters I used comes from the Bee Bold Alphabet Dies and the numbers come from the Bee Bold Numeric Dies which were all diecut three times, stacked and glued together.
