Birthday Baker Apron Easel Card | Honey Bee Stamps | Instagram Hop

Hello Friends, 

Today's card is part of the Honey Bee Stamp Let's Celebrate Release Instagram Hop. I have never made an Easel card before so it took me some figuring out to do, and I am so happy with the results that I think I will be making some more in the future. Make sure to check out the Hop for tons of inspiration and to enter the GIVEAWAY. Details on IG Hop HERE.

CARD RECIPE

• Stamps and Dies - Baked With Love Stamps &  Coordinating Dies
• Apron A2 Dies
• Apron: Garden Tool Add-on Dies
• Paper - Funfetti Birthday Paper Pad 
• Neenah Solar White HBS | SSS | AMZ
• Envelope - Funfetti Birthday A2 Envelopes
• Ink - Intense Black Ink 
• Shark Tooth Atelier Ink SSS | IO3
• Embossing Powder - Arctic White EP SSS | IO3
• Die Cut Machine - Gemini Junior SSS | AMZ
• Adhesives - Bee Creative Glue
• Foam - Foam Squares HBS
• Pens - White Gel Pen HBS 
• Colored - using Copic Markers SSS | AMZ

• Die-cut, color, and assemble apron, as shown above, set aside.
• To the card base, score a horizontal line on the front panel to create the fold for the Easel.
• Trim pattern paper to A2 size and cut paper to match the scoreline created on the card front. Glue in place.

• On the inside of the card, glue a rectangle pop-up together using pattern paper. I glued an extra piece of cardstock under the top (where the card front will rest for added strength).
• Cut a little slot toward the front of the rectangle pop-up to slide the support for the bowl, fold the support piece, and glue it to the inside of the pop-up. Glue bowl to the support.
• To the front of the rectangle piece glue the wooden roller by adding a piece of paper scored in half and gluing it to the top of the roller and the edge of the pop-up ensuring that the pieces will fold flat when the card is closed. (see second to last photo for an overhead visual).

• Stamp sentiments as shown (in hindsight, it would have been easier to stamp the sentiment on the inside of the card before I glued on the pop-up).

• Love that these Easel cards fold flat too and fit nicely in an envelope.

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

Stitched Card Front, Border & Flower Inspiration Projects | Spellbinders DOML - MAY21

Hello friends and hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday! Today's projects feature the Large Die of the Month Kit as well as the Clear Stamp of the Month Club Kit for May 2021.

CARD RECIPE

• Die-cut floral frame from the Large Die of the Month using your Die Cutting Machine.
• Stich using floss or twine. (I would recommend floss as the twine I used got a bit bulky in some spots.)

• On the card base, stamp out the sentiment of your choice from the Clear Stamp of the Month Club.  
• Glue finished stitched piece to the card base.
• Embellish with gems and crystals.

For my next project, I decided to create a rainbow-inspired boolmark using the floral strip from the Large Die of the Month.

To create the bookmark.

•  Stitch each flower using a different color in rainbow order.
• Die-cut another piece and glue it to the back of the stitched area.
• Glue the rainbow floral strip to a bookmark cut to the desired size.
• Punch a hole on the top of the bookmark. 
• Loop through and secure rainbow colors of twine. 
• Embellish flower centers with jewels.

Clear Stamp and Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month Inspiration Cards | Spellbinders

Hello, my dear friends!

Today's cards feature the Clear Stamp and Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month from Spellbinders. I made a Spring-inspired Thank You card and a birthday card for my son who turns 17 this week.😱 Still can't he is almost 17!

CARD RECIPES

(SEE SUPPLY LIST BELOW FOR INGREDIENTS USED)

• On a card panel cut to A2 size, stamp the flowers from the Stamp of the Month Club.
• Used the coordinating scalloped edge to die-cut the curved design using dies from the GLIMMER HOT FOIL KIT.
• Use the excess piece of paper from the panel to foil the bottom foiled piece of the card front. Start by cutting a clean edge with the coordinating dies.

• Set up Hot Foil System.
• Run the lined curved plate from the GLIMMER HOT FOIL KIT through the PLATINUM 6 DIE CUTTING PLATFORM using and the Lavender Petal Glimmer Foil.
• Die-cut the edge of the foiled piece with the pierced dotted scallop die.
• Assemble the card front. Create a hinge at the top of the stamped piece and then attach a piece of acetate behind it. Leave some space for the thank you sentiment to peek through, and then glue the floating curved foil piece to the acetate. 
• Position the Thank you plate on another cardstock panel and foil using the same Lavender Petal Glimmer Foil.
• Attach the front panel to the back panel using the hinge created above.
• Embellish card front with gems.

CARD #2

• Foil the Happy Birthday onto the card panel using BLACK Glimmer Foil.
• Stamp out the candle background using the curved candle stamp from the Stamp of the Month Club.
• Color in images as desired. I used Copic markers.
• Die-cut a scalloped edge using vellum. Glue layer to the top half of the card. 

• Die-cut the numbers using dies from the BIRTHDAY WISHES LDOM FEB21 and black cardstock.
• Add a layer of glue to the top of the numbers and sprinkle on glitter for added sparkle.
• I also used the same glitter on the candle flames.

• Embellish card with pearls or desired embellishments.

Spellbinders March 2021Club Inspiration Blog Hop

Hello Friends and welcome to the Spellbinders March 2021Club Inspiration Blog Hop! I am super excited to be joining the fun this month. If you have already started on the Blog Hop you would have arrived from Desiree Kuemmerle's Blog and are on the right track. I will share the complete Hop list at the end of this post. Don't forget to leave a comment below to be entered for a chance to win some goodies!

My Mini Birthday Slimline card today features one of the sentiment plates from this month's "Let Your Sentiments Shine Brighter Foil Set". Foil stamping is a great way to add that extra wow factor that you just can't get from stamping with ink. 

CARD RECIPE

• Create the card base for the mini slimline. 
• Cut paper 6.25x6.25 inches, score down the center at 3 1/8inch mark. Fold in half.
• Glue Silver Glitter cardstock piece to the card base cut to 6.25 x 3 1/8inches.
• Cut front card panel to measure 6 x 2 7/8inches. 
• Set up Hot Foil System.
• Foil the birthday Sentiment from the GOM Let Your Sentiments Shine Brighter Foil Set using SKYBRIGHT Glimmer Foil and running it through the PLATINUM 6 DIE CUTTING PLATFORM.

• Die-cut the two of each size of the Egg dies from the EGG-STRA SPECIAL GOM MAR20. These "eggs" will be the Balloons.
• Ink up the balloons, by blending ink along the edges of the egg die cuts. (See colors used in links below)
• Layer balloons on the card front using foam tape to pop a few up.

• Die-cut the numbers from the BIRTHDAY WISHES LDOM FEB21. I used a silver holographic cardstock to make the foiled balloons.
• Add some balloon strings to the back of a few balloons. 
• Add ties to the bottom of the balloons that have a visible bottom.
• TIP for ties: I used a fine metallic glitter string to embellish the balloon ends. To make these ties/knots, I cut 3 pieces of string measuring about 6 inches. Group. Tie as many knots as you need along the strings. Snip the knots leaving the desired tie length. Dip the knots in glue and attach them to the balloon bottoms. 
• Pull and gather the balloon strings and secure them behind the card panel. 

• Attach the panel to the card front.
• Embellish with crystals or desired embellishments.

Well, this was my first time making a mini Slimline and I am loving this size. The best part about making this size is that it isn't as challenging to photograph! I hope you were inspired 😁 so now let's move on to the Hop.
