Today is Day 2 of the Falloween Release Sneak Peeks and I'm excited to share a playful and interactive shaker card that I created using some of the latest products. This card is perfect for sending a little Halloween cheer to someone special. Please note links are inactive until the Falloween Release goes live on August 23rd after the Live Release Party on YouTube at 8 pm EST.

CARD RECIPE

Spider - Lovely Layers: Scaredy Cat Dies

Spider Eyes - Sweet and Spooky Pearl Stickers

Background - Spider Web 3D Embossing Folder

Sentiment - Too Cute to Spook Dies

Frame - Layering Vintage Labels Frames

Shaker bits - Black Opal Confetti Mix, Aurora Lights Confetti Mix

Shaker - A2 Shaker Pockets

Background Magic:

I started with the Spider Web 3D Embossing Folder to create the spooky web background. Using the blackout technique, I blended yellow, pink, and blue inks from Inkon3 into the reversed embossed areas of the Tangled Web 3D Embossing Folder. The colors give a vibrant yet eerie glow, perfect for a Halloween-themed card.

Adding the Shaker Element:

To bring in some fun, I created a shaker element using the A2 Shaker Pockets. I filled the shaker with a mix of Black Opal Confetti Mix and Aurora Lights Confetti Mix. The iridescent confetti adds a playful shimmer that catches the light beautifully.

Focal Point & Sentiment:

The sentiment "Too Cute to Spook" is die-cut using the Too Cute to Spook Dies. I layered the sentiment onto a vellum shadow layer and glued it to the shaker, allowing it to stand out against the vibrant background.

For an extra touch of spookiness, I added a cute spider from the Lovely Layers: Scaredy Cat Dies. I used Sweet and Spooky Pearl Stickers for the spider's eyes, giving it an adorable yet mischievous look.

Framing It All:

Now, to fix a mistake I made I added the frame around the shaker pocket. Sadly I trimmed the background a little too much and you could see some of the adhesive of the pocket. So to salvage this I added a frame that I then used it to hang the Spider off of. The frame ties everything together and also gives the card a polished finished look.

This card is a delightful mix of spooky and cute, making it perfect for Halloween. The combination of the blackout technique, playful shaker elements, and the charming spider adds a fun and festive vibe to the design. I hope this card inspires you to create your own Falloween-themed projects using Honey Bee Stamps' latest release!

Spring Hello Card - 3D Blackout Embossing Folder Technique | Honey Bee Stamps

***Please note links in the post are no longer active, if you are looking for something specific use this link here to 👉 HONEY BEE STAMPS and search for the product listed. My apologies for the inconvenience ***

Hello, my friends, and Happy Easter Monday!

Have you checked out the Celebrate Release from Honey Bee Stamps yet!? It is to date my favorite release! Lots of  Spring and birthday-themed awesomeness. Plus some pretty cool tools, including the shaker pockets inspired by me! 👧

For my card today I had to try again the 3D Blackout Embossing Folder Technique I shared a few weeks ago, this time using the new Sandie's Garden - 3D Embossing Folder. If you aren't the best colorist or have visual issues (like me🙋) and prefer ink blending, this is an easy way to color a background. 

CARD RECIPE

Remember the cool tools I mentioned earlier, well now Honey Bee has new Beeluxe Detail Blending Brushes! They come in sizes 5, 7, and 10 and are angled to blend into all the small creases and crevasses, making them ideal for a detailed project like this one!

• Place a piece of watercolor cardstock between the Sandie's Garden - 3D Embossing Folder. I gave it a light mist before running it through an embossing/die-cutting machine. The water just helps mold the paper and prevents any tearing.
• Add ink to the recessed side/debossed side of the embossed design. I used the new Beeluxe Detail Blending Brushes and distress oxide inks. Don't worry too much about getting a perfect blend or leaving some white areas.

• Rub a juicy black ink pad all over the colored recessed side of the panel. In hindsight, I would have used a Bristol Paper rather than the watercolor one I used to make the surface smoother for the ink application. That just means I will have to try this technique again, lol 😉
• Trim down the panel. This finished card measures 5x7.
• Glue to the largest Scallop A7 Frame. 

• Wrap coordinating ribbon across the bottom of the card and secure ends to the back using tape.
• Glue panel onto a side folding A7 Card Base.
• Stamp out the sentiment from the Storybook Spring stamp set using a matching ink color. I then heat-set it using clear embossing powder.
• Die cut using coordinating Storybook Spring - Honey Cuts.
• Add coordinating gems from the Let's Party Gem Stickers.
• Finish by adding white pen details.

If you have not tried this technique yet, now's the perfect time to dive in with the gorgeous new Sandie's Garden - 3D Embossing Folder! And for a visual treat, stay tuned for a Reel on Instagram where I'll showcase the mesmerizing process of creating this card.

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