Happy Fall Wreath Pop Up Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, crafty friends! 🍂 Fall is finally here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to create cozy, seasonal cards. Today, I’m sharing a delightful Fall Wreath pop-up card featuring products from the Honey Bee Stamps Falloween Release, that is sure to bring a warm smile to anyone’s face. I used a variety of dies, stencils, and embellishments to craft this wreath, complete with vibrant sunflowers, a cute pumpkin, and layers of fall florals. Let's dive into the details of how I put this card together!

CARD RECIPE

Bow, pumpkin, Sign - Seasonal Signs Dies and Stencils

Flowers - Lovely Layers: Mini Fall Florals Dies

Happy - Great Greetings: Everyday Dies

Frame - Double Stitched Square Dies

Texture on sign - Woodgrain 3D Embossing Folder

Background - Fall Is In The Air Paper Pad

Embellishments - Fall Is In The Air Pearl Stickers and Gem Stickers

The Design

I began by die-cutting all the key elements from the Seasonal Signs Dies, including the circle for the wood frame, the red bow, the pumpkin, and the hanger. These pieces formed the base of my wreath, giving it structure and dimension.

Next, I moved on to inking the word "Fall" using the Seasonal Signs Stencil. After blending the ink onto the circle die-cut, I ran it through my die-cutting machine with the Woodgrain 3D Embossing Folder to create a realistic wood grain texture. To make this texture stand out even more, I blended Hickory Smoke Oxide Ink over the raised areas, giving the wood a weathered, rustic look.

To complete the wooden frame effect, I used my Scor-Pal Mini Scor-Buddy to press horizontal lines into the paper, mimicking planks of wood. With the help of a ruler and a Copic marker, I drew over these embossed lines, enhancing the realistic wood grain feel.

Once the wood frame was complete, I started building up the wreath with floral and decorative elements. The lovely sunflowers and fall leaves were cut using the Lovely Layers: Mini Fall Florals Dies, which added vibrant pops of color to the design. I used various distress oxide inks to blend colors onto the die-cuts, bringing life to the florals and leaves.

Floral and Wreath Details

The flowers are the highlight of this wreath, and I created them with the Lovely Layers: Mini Fall Florals Dies. The sunflowers, with their bright yellow petals and gem-encrusted centers, were a real show-stopper. I used Fall Is In The Air Pearl Stickers and Fall Is In The Air Gem Stickers for extra sparkle and shine.

To add even more depth to the wreath, I arranged the die-cut leaves around the sunflowers and tucked in a small pumpkin die-cut at the bottom of the wreath, keeping everything cohesive and full of autumn charm.

Assembly

To create the pop-up frame for my card, I first cut out the top frame using the second-largest square from the Double Stitched Square Dies, cutting it from a 5.5-inch square piece of cardstock. This would frame the wreath beautifully.

Next, I cut two pieces of cardstock measuring 5.5 inches by 2 inches and scored each piece at every half inch. I folded these pieces accordion-style to create springs, which I then attached to the back of the square top frame. These springs added the perfect pop-up dimension for the card.

For extra dimension behind the wreath, I created another pop-up spring. This piece measured 2.5 inches by 5 inches, and I scored it every half inch, three times, before folding it. I glued this piece directly behind the wreath to make it stand out even more.

Once the springs were in place, I adhered the entire top frame and wreath onto the card base, where I had already glued a piece of patterned paper from the Fall Is In The Air Paper Pad. This patterned background added a cozy, autumnal feel to complement the dimensional elements of the wreath.

Finishing Touches

To complete the design, I added some white gel pen details to enhance the die-cut elements, giving them extra highlights and depth. For added dimension and shine, I applied Glossy Accents to the "Happy" die-cut from the Great Greetings: Everyday Dies and to the pumpkin stem, making those areas pop and stand out against the rest of the design.

This Fall Wreath pop-up card is one of my favorite fall projects so far using the latest Honey Bee Stamps Falloween Release! The combination of woodgrain texture, bright florals, and warm autumn hues makes it the perfect seasonal greeting card. I hope you’ll give it a try and enjoy making your own festive creations.

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

Merry & Bright Holiday Shaker Card | Picket Fence Studios

Hello my Crafty Friends!

Today's vibrant Christmas shaker card is part of the new Picket Fence Studio's September release and brings together a delightful blend of holiday colors and textures. Here’s how I combined some of the stunning products from this collection to create a festive, interactive card, perfect for spreading holiday cheer!

CARD RECIPE

Card front - Watercolour Christmas A2 Card Front

Die Cut Sentiment - Merry Christmas Word Die

Stamp - Deck the Halls Stamp and Die Set

Circle Die - 2.5” Connected Circle Shaker Creator Die

Ink - Picket Studios Black Hybrid Ink

Glazes - Holly Leaf Green and Christmas Cardinal Red Paper Glaze

Shaker bits - Gingerbread Sequin Mix

Gems - Northpole Gem Mix

Background Prep: 

You’ll need two of the same Watercolour Christmas A2 card fronts for this card. This is so that when you cut the shaker window from the front panel, it will align perfectly with the back panel image, creating a cohesive look through the window. The vivid wintery scene serves as the perfect backdrop for the shaker design. 

Creating the Shaker: 

Start by cutting the shaker window from the front panel using the 2.5” Connected Circle Shaker Creator Die. Then, adhere a piece of acetate to the back of this panel, covering the window opening. Line the edges of the window and the rest of the panel with foam tape to create depth for the shaker.

Next, place the festive sequins, onto the background panel, concentrating them where the window opening will be. Carefully adhere the top panel to the bottom, ensuring the edges are lined up. For a flawless alignment, I recommend using a corner ruler—simply align the top of each panel in the corner and press them together for perfect placement.

Adding the Sentiment: 

For the “Merry Christmas” sentiment, I used the Merry Christmas Word Die and die-cut the words from paper glazed with Holly Leaf Green and Christmas Cardinal Red Paper Glaze. The dimensional shine of the glaze really makes the sentiment pop.

Finishing Touches: 

To complete the greeting, I stamped "and a Happy New Year" using the Deck the Halls Stamp with Picket Studios Black Hybrid Ink onto the same piece of paper that I had die-cut Merry from in the Christmas Cardinal Red Paper Glaze, then die-cut it and adhered it over the top of the word dies.

For extra shine and detail, I also added coordinating gems to the greenery of the scene using Northpole Gem Mix gems. 

This shaker card from the PFS September release captures the joy of the holiday season with its playful design, festive colors, and interactive shaker elements. The combination of watercolors, dimensional paper glaze, and a mix of bold and elegant sentiments makes this card a standout piece for Christmas greetings. I hope this inspires you to create your own festive shaker cards!

Thank you for stopping by I will share a Reel over on Instagram as well to show you how this came to life and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Grateful for Fall – A Bright and Bold Pumpkin Patch Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, crafty friends! I’m excited to share this vibrant fall-themed card featuring the new Falloween Release from Honey Bee Stamps. Fall is such a wonderful time to create heartfelt, seasonal cards, and this project brings all those cozy autumn vibes to life. Using a variety of dies, stamps, and embellishments, I had so much fun crafting this colorful pumpkin patch scene. Let’s dive into the details!

CARD RECIPE

Pumpkin Patch - Bold Background: Pumpkin Patch Dies

Sentiment - Blessings of Fall Stamps and Dies

Inside Sentiment - Mini Messages: Fall Sentiments Stamps 

Pearls - Sweet & Spooky Pearl Stickers

Foam - Foam adhesive to elevate the background

Inks:

• Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink
• Bee Creative Intense Black Ink Pad 
• Inkon3 inks for blending the die cuts (See thumbnails below)

Pumpkin Patch Focus

The star of the card is the gorgeous Bold Background: Pumpkin Patch Dies. These detailed pumpkins and vines are perfect for creating a layered, dimensional scene. I die-cut the entire background from white cardstock and used Inkon3 inks to blend vibrant colors onto the pumpkins and leaves. The inks blended beautifully, creating a gradient effect from soft yellows to deep pinks and greens, giving the pumpkins a lively, almost glowing appearance. The only solid color cardstock used was brown for the pumpkin tops and the sentiment.

Adding Dimension

To give the background some extra depth, I used foam adhesive to pop up the die-cut pieces. This small touch really makes the design stand out and gives the card a more interactive feel.

Sentiments to Celebrate Gratitude

For the sentiment, I wanted to emphasize the theme of thankfulness. The Blessings of Fall Stamps provided the perfect phrase: “There is Always Something to Be Thankful For.” I white heat-embossed the sentiment on a dark brown banner, which pops against the colorful background. 

On the inside, I kept the message simple with the Mini Messages: Fall Sentiments Stamps, using “Grateful for You” for a heartfelt touch.

Final Embellishments

To finish off the card, I added a few Sweet & Spooky Pearl Stickers in coordinating shades. The pearls add a hint of sparkle and texture, pulling the whole design together without taking away from the colorful pumpkin patch.

I absolutely love how this card turned out! The bright, cheerful colors and the focus on gratitude make it perfect for sending fall-themed well wishes. Honey Bee Stamps’ Falloween Release has so many versatile products that allow you to create both spooky and sweet projects, and this pumpkin patch card is the perfect way to showcase them.

I hope you’re feeling inspired to create your own fall-themed cards. Don’t forget to have fun with blending inks and adding dimension with foam adhesives—it really takes your cardmaking to the next level.

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