Double Stencil Balloon Birthday Cards | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my friends!

It probably feels like forever since my last post! Right now my family and I should be returning to Portugal after our Mediterranean Cruise and spending a little more time with our family before heading back home. I hope you are all enjoying your Summer and I will be back to regular posts soon. Make sure you are following me on Instagram as I will most likely be sharing photos of our vacation. Now back to the post!

Summertime is the busiest time of year for birthdays. As a majority of our family was born from June to August. So I thought it was the perfect time to share some of the birthday cards I will be sending out this year.

For both of my cards today, I created the backgrounds using a similar Double Stencil Technique. Basically starting off with one stencil and then adding detail to that stencil with another one. 

CARD RECIPE

1. For this hidden inlay card, I began by blending out the background using Layering Balloon Stencils by blending the yellow at the bottom up to the middle of the panel. I then repeated the process this time blending from the top toward the middle, resulting in the orange blend in the center.
2. Leaving the balloon stencil in place, I then laid the smallest dots stencil of the Polka Dot Background Stencils over top and repeated the blending in the same order. Once you remove the stencils you are left with a crisp white background and a fun design on the balloons.
3. Next, I die-cut the panel using the Happy Happy Happy A2 Cover Plate. I then ran the same plate through the die-cut machine a couple more times to create the layers for staking the letters for the hidden inlay design. Once all glued and stacked, glue the letters back into the panel that was glued to the card front.
4. Stamp out the sentiments to the card front using Intense Black Ink with sentiments from the Mini Messages Stamp set. 
5. Foil the birthday greeting for the center using the Birthday Hot Foil Plate done in AURA Glimmer Foil, then die cut using the coordinating die. Die cut a few more layers to stack and then glue in the center of the card panel.
6. Finish the card by adding some sparkle. I used gems from the Rainbow Birthday sticker set.

This next card panel was done the same way except for using the other balloon stencil with a larger dot stencil and using the blue ink pad instead of the pink ink pad for blending.

For this traditional shaker, I first die-cut the opening using a frame from the Sweet Stacks: Rectangles set, then glued acetate to the outer balloon frame, used foam tape to build up the shaker space and then filled the shaker area with AURORA LIGHTS Confetti Mix. The center of the panel was glued to the card base first before attaching the shaker window.

To the front of the card, I stamped out the sentiment from the Big Time Kindness Stamp set using Bee Creative Gold Metallic Ink Pad and then heat set it with gold Emb. pwd. It then was die cut with the coordinating die and glued to the shaker front.

I hope you will give this double stencil technique a try. It is a great way to add a new look to one-layer stencils.

Birthday Balloon Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and Happy 2023! 

Yes, this is my first post of the New Year, so I wanted to wish you all the best and thank you all for your support over the years. 

EYE UPDATE: As I have mentioned recently I have been struggling with the vision in my left eye, I barely see anything out of it now. What I do see is mostly shapes and colors, no detail. Because of that, I have been limiting my screen time. For now, I am patching my left eye to avoid straining it when I am online, and still trying to figure out how to decrease the stress on my good eye. I am hoping my left-side vision will stabilize and improve, I just don't want it to get worse. Thankfully, I have a great team of doctors that are following me closely and I am so thankful for all the support I have received. Don't worry I will still be creating just less often, so I am hoping you still will stick with me.

If you saw my last post, you will recognize the similarities between the two backgrounds. I loved my last background so much that I had to recreate the rainbow background again, but this time using balloons from Honey Bee Stamps. Birthday cards are definitely my favorite cards to make and shakers just make the best birthday cards because they are like a party on their own. 

CARD RECIPE

  • To begin, I used one of the stencils from the Layering Balloon Stencils and started by blending the yellow ink in the center, followed by the pink ink on top and then the blue on the bottom. When you overlap with the previous color it results in a rainbow blend. Repeat the process with the top layer of the stencil. Use light pressure when blending to create somewhat of a transparent effect.
  • Once the background is done, add double-sided tape to the back and secure 3 of the shaker pocket tabs. I filled the pocket with Bokeh Lights Confetti and sealed the last tab. Remove the protective plastic layer from the pocket if it has one.
  • Attach the finished shaker pocket to a card base.

A card like this would be easy to mass-produce and have on hand for upcoming birthdays. Change up the colors to make switch things up and make the cards more personal. I think I may have to take my own advice and make some for my stash as I am always running low.

I hope you got some inspiration from today's Birthday Balloon Shaker Card. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Hello friends and happy Monday! 

I took last week off as I celebrated my 46th birthday and then had plenty of things to catch up on... and I am still not caught up! Anyways, I have another birthday card to share with you as most of the family birthdays are all coming up so I need to stock up on my birthday cards.

CARD RECIPE


This card features a couple of the new stencils from a recent release. The Layering Streamers A2 Stencils and the Balloon Arch Coordinating Stencils.

  • I began this card by blending out the arch using the Balloon Arch Coordinating Stencils. To create the seamless arch I used the masking layer and repeated the blending on the other side to complete the arch.
  • I then created another mask by tracing the first mask onto a post-it note and fussy cut it. I then masked off the whole arch. 
  • Next, I used the Layering Streamers A2 Stencils to blend out the streamers and confetti. To the confetti layer, I added some glitter glaze for some sparkle.
  • I then topped off the balloon arch with the heart accent arch from the Rainbow Accents Die Set using white glitter paper.
  • With the same glitter paper, I die-cut two clouds from the Rainbow Builder A2 Card Base and popped them onto foam dots, and added them to the base of the balloon arch.
  • To the center area of the card, I stamped out the birthday sentiment using stamps from the Birthday Wishes Set using Intense Black Ink.
  • To bling this beauty up some more I used the new Rainbow Birthday Gem stickers
  • For highlights on the balloons, I used a white gelly roller.
