Crafty Friendship Cards | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello crafty friends and Happy August!

Yes, it has been a while since my last post, really it's only been like 10 days but in the social media world, it seems like forever! I am purposely taking it slow this month and trying to enjoy the family and the weather as much as possible as I am on vacation this month. Any posts that you see from me this month have been pre-scheduled in reality.

So let's get on with today's crafty friendship cards featuring goodies from Honey Bee Stamps Summer Stems Release.

CARD RECIPE

I created both cards using all the images that I had colored from the Let's Get Crafty stamp set. I reserved the sewing items for a card I previously shared 👉here. This craft set is perfect for not only crafty friends but for teachers and back-to-school themed cards. So here is the recipe for my first card.

Stamps: 

• Let's Get Crafty Stamps

Dies:

• Let's Get Crafty Dies
• Crafty Dies

Paper: 

• Neenah Solar White 110lbs

Color Media:

• Copic Markers SSS | AMZ

Ink:

Adhesives:

• Bee Creative Glue 
• Foam - Foam Squares

Embellishments:

I kept things super simple. Basically stuck all the elements along the bottom of the card panel and popped them up with foam. For the sentiment, I colored the top layer of the crafty die in rainbow order added some glue, and then sparkle glitter.

This next Slimline card is more for the artist in your life, one that loves all the media!

You're Sew Special Crafty Friendship Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my crafty friends! 

I think most of you will all enjoy this cute stitched card especially if you love to sew. Besides coloring and drawing as a child, sewing would have been the first crafty thing I got into. I was about 10 years old, on vacation in Portugal and my Grandmother taught me how to sew on her old antique Singer sewing machine. My first project was an apron with large pockets on the front. The stitching was terrible and the apron was white (talk about the terrible choice of color for an apron, lol). I didn't care, I was just obsessed with all the stuff my Grandmother could carry in her apron pockets and just had to have my own! 

Anyways, let's get on with details for today's card featuring products from Honey Bee Stamps.

CARD RECIPE

• Start by stitching various colors of thread across an A2 card panel using a sewing machine, or any tool that will stitch through paper.
• Stamp out any images that relate to sewing. Using INTENSE BLACK INK and stamps from the LET'S GET CRAFTY and the SEW SPECIAL Sets.
• Color in using Copic markers or desired medium.
• Die-cut using coordinating dies from the LET'S GET CRAFTY and the SEW SPECIAL Die Sets.
• Add foam to the back of each image.

• Stamp out the sentiment from the SEW SPECIAL Set using white ink and heat setting it with embossing powder on black cardstock.
• Die-cut with coordinating SEW SPECIAL Die. 
• Pop the sentiment in the center of the stitched card panel and then add the sewing-themed elements all around the card front.
• Use Glossy Accents to add shine and dimension to images.

I hope today's card inspired you and the next time you need a card for that Sew Special friend you remember this one 😉🧵

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

Full Panel See Through Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and Happy Friday!

Today's fun sparkly Full Panel See Through Shaker Card is part of an Instagram Hop happening over on Instagram as we continue to celebrate the Summer Stems Release from Honey Bee Stamps. If you'd like to join and enter the giveaway click HERE.

CARD RECIPE

• To create the sleeve for the card front, I used a Slimline Cello bag as the width of it makes the perfect size for an A2 Card.
• Cut a piece of acetate to A2 Size and slide it into the Slimline Cello bag.
• Trim off the excess top of the cello bag, leaving about an inch longer than the acetate to create a flap.

• Fill Cello Bag with Glitter. (I used Martha Stewart's Chunky Glitter, sorry no longer available. But you can use any flat glitter for this)
• Bend the cello over a card panel and adhere the flap to the back of it. Add tape along the cut edge to keep the glitter from falling out of the bag.

• Add another card panel to sandwich the bag and create the back of the card base. (I used a black piece of cardstock)
• Stamp the inside of the card using stamps from the Crafty Stamp Set and Honey Bee Intense Black Ink.

• Die-cut and piece together sentiments to cover up the message on the inside. I used the Crafty Honey Cuts and the Bitty Buzzword Dies. The Happy Birthday comes from the Bitty Buzzwords Stamp Set that was stamped and heat embossed in white.

And that is it! So simple right!?! How pretty is that? This Full Panel See Through Shaker Card definitely has that wow factor and an element of surprise. Perfect for a birthday card, especially a crafty friend who truly sweats glitter!

Here is how it looks when it is closed up. Almost looks like a frameless shaker card, but with a fun twist!

I hope this fun birthday Full Panel See Through Shaker Card inspired you. I have shared a video over on Instagram so make sure to check it out there if you like videos.
