Holiday Wishes Inspiration Week Day 2 | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the Honey Bee Stamps Holiday Wishes Release Inspiration Week!

CARD RECIPE

Background - SnowFlakes 3D Embossing Folder

Dies - Lovely Layers Large Snowflakes

Sentiment - Mini Messages: Holiday Stamps & Dies

Black Ink - Bee Creative Intense Black Ink Pad

White Ink - Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink

Gems - Winter Wonder Gem Stickers

For this background, I began by ink-blending the blue cardstock panel with Black Soot distress oxide ink and then Embossed the Panel using the SnowFlakes 3D Embossing Folder. I then used the Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink pad and lightly rubbed the embossed areas of the paper.

You're Amazing Rainbow Forest Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Welcome back, crafty friends! 

In honor of Pride Month, I am combining two great things— my love of all things rainbow and acts of kindness in support of our LGBTQ+ friends—to create a vibrant and heartwarming card. Our world more than ever needs more love and less hate. 

CARD RECIPE

Begin by selecting a piece of sturdy cardstock in a size suitable for your card base. I used Canson Watercolor paper for this 5x7 Card. Apply a rainbow spectrum of Distress Oxide Inks onto the paper panel. Start with the lightest color and gradually work your way across to the darkest color. (See links below for colors used).

Using a distress brayer apply black ink to the raised side of the Into The Woods 3D Embossing Folder.

Place the cardstock inside the embossing folder and run it through your die-cutting machine, following the manufacturer's instructions. This will create a beautiful raised rainbow pattern on your cardstock with a dark background to contrast the colors. Trim the panel and add it to a 5x7 Card Base. I used a piece of craft foam to slightly pop it off the card base.

On black cardstock, stamp the sentiment "Just wanted to say" from the Mini Messages Stamps and the You're Amazing" from the Big Time Kindness Stamp set using Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink and heat setting them in white Emb. Powder. Use coordinating dies from sets to die and cut them out and glue them to the center of the card panel.

For a touch of sparkle, I added glue to the tree lines and then sprinkled it with some glitter while the glue was still wet.

And there you have it—a stunning, rainbow-inspired card bursting with love and kindness! This Pride Month, celebrate diversity and spread joy by creating your own handmade cards. Remember, a small act of kindness can brighten someone's day, and crafting allows us to share that love with others. Show your support, spread kindness, and let your love shine through your craft!

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

Love more, judge less.

Ilda 🌈💓

Floral Frenzy Cards | Spellbinders | Floral Reflection Collection

Hello friends! 

There is a gorgeous new collection from Spellbinders available now and if you love florals this one is calling your name. The Floral Refection Collection is so pretty and so versatile as I will show you with my card examples today.

CARD RECIPE

First of all, let's talk about this new 3D embossing folder! Just look at the gorgeous floral detail. Alone as a background it is beautiful. For this birthday card, I paired it with a vellum heart from the new Essential Heart Etched Die set with the Floral Reflection Etched Dies. To make this a birthday card I just added the sentiment from the Floral Reflection Sentiment set, but honestly, it could be used for any occasion.

Here is another example. This time the sentiment is a bit vague but I turned it into a wedding card just by adding a little piece of tule behind the die-cut heart.

Again I used the flowers from the Floral Reflection Etched Dies without the base stems and created a loose arrangement along the edge of the heart that I then added to the 3D Flower Frenzy Embossed Background.

This final card could be used for any occasion. To make the embossed areas pop even more I used white pigment ink over the raised areas. I then die cut the Floral Reflection Etched dies from white cardstock and finished just the centers of the flowers to reduce some layers.

To the center, I added a sentiment from the Floral Reflection Stamp set that I die cut with a coordinating die.

I hope these simple yet beautiful cards inspired you. This Floral Reflection Collection release is timeless and could be very useful for all-year-round cardmaking. 

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