Elegant Floral Ornament Shaker Cards | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my dearest friends, and Happy Monday!

Guess what!? I got my Christmas decorations up this past weekend. What do you all think? Too soon? For me, it's actually late, lol. Usually November 1st. I am ready but this year, maybe because the snow came later I hadn't been itching to do it. I am happy I pushed myself to do it because now I am definitely in the Christmas mood. Alright, enough about decorations, let's talk about today's cards.

Both of my cards feature the beautiful Elegant Floral Frames. This set also has coordinating dies that give you the option to cut the inside of the ornament like I have to add a shaker element. I chose to heat emboss the stamps and then do some loose water coloring, but there is also an option to color these in using the coordinating Elegant Floral Stencils.

CARD RECIPE

• Stamp images using the new Bee Creative Gold Metallic Ink Pad and heat set with gold embossing powder on Bristol paper.
• Watercolor the images using a medium of choice. I used Karin BrushMarker Pro pens. 
• Die cut using coordinating Elegant Floral Frames Dies.
• Die cut 3 more layers for stacking and gluing together to create the space for the shaker element. You could use thin foam tape strips too if you like. I find this way easier.
• Die cut a piece of acetate to create the window for the shaker by just cutting the outline of the ornament and glue it to the back of the watercolored layer followed by the stacking layers.
• On a die-cut Scalloped A2 Frame create a little pile using your shaker bits and then glue the ornament to the panel.
• Use foam dots to pop the panel onto the card's front layer which was done by applying a layer of the Bee Creative Gold Metallic Ink over the raised areas of the Winter Gems Coverplate and dry embossing the impression into the panel with the die cut machine. The results are subtle but add so much detail.

This next card was done the exact same way only this time obviously using the other ornament and the Plaid Hot Foil Plate was used for dry embossing rather than foiling.

Just to save time I stamped the same sentiment from the Home for the Holidays using the Bee Creative Gold Metallic Ink Pad that I heat set with gold embossing powder and then die cut using the Home for the Holidays Dies.

On the inside, I used another sentiment from the Home for the Holidays set, stamped in using Bee Creative Intense Black Ink. 

I hope you got some inspiration from these Elegant Floral Ornament Shaker Cards. 

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

Merry Christmas Ornament Card | Hero Arts

Hello, my sweet crafty friends.

Today I am sharing this beautiful Merry Christmas Ornament Card featuring a few sets from the Hero Arts Awesome Add-Ons that are still available. If you love heat embossing and a simple design this one is perfect for you.

I began by preparing the Pitch Black Cardstock panel by using an anti-static powder duster. I then stamped out the top and bottom using the first layer of the Color Layering Merry Christmas stamp set with Unicorn Pigment Ink. I then used white embossing powder to heat set the first layer. I repeated the previous step twice to get a good white embossed layer for the next step. Next, line up the top detail layer of the stamps, this time inked the stamp with Versamark ink and then heat set it using gold embossing powder.

Cut out the ornament using the Nesting Circle Infinity Dies. Stamp, heat emboss the top of the ornament, and fussy cut it out. Glue it to the top of the die-cut circle "ornament". Pierce a hole through the top to add the gold thread through later.

Stamp out the background panel using Versamark ink, and heat set it using gold embossing powder. Trim the panel. Attach it to another black panel to create a shadow and to tie the colors together. Now pop the ornament in the center of the panels using foam tape. Secure the gold thread behind the panels. Use foam tape to adhere the embossed panel to a gold piece of Glitter Paper Holiday Sparkle cardstock cut to A2 size and then attach it to the card base.

Finish off the card by adding a few gold pearls and a bow to the top of the ornament as a finishing touch. 

I hope you got some inspiration for your Holiday cards today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Ilda 😊

Elegant Foiled Wedding Cards featuring Wedding Season Dies by Nichol Spohr | Spellbinders

Hello Friends!

Today I have some beautiful Wedding cards to share with you. Even though the wedding season has been slower this year due to the Pandemic, couples are still getting married by having smaller more intimate gatherings or postposing them into the future. Either way, I am prepared, lol!

My cards today feature a few of the dies from Wedding Season by Nichol Spohr collection, which are perfect for all your wedding card needs!

CARD DETAILS

For my first card, I began by adding SILVER Glimmer Foil using the MODERN LINES GLIMMER PLATE on to a piece of Kraft card stock. I then used the largest frame from the RECTANGLE ETCHED DIES to trim down the panel.

Next, I die cut the HAPPILY EVER AFTER SENTIMENT using a silver foil cardstock. I also die cut the leaves from the same paper and the flowers using a white heavyweight card stock and glued the pieces in place as seen below.

To finish off this card, I added some ICY SPARKLE CRYSTALS and added the panel onto a white A2 sized card base.

For this gold wedding card, I began by adding a dotted foil detail to the card panel using POLISHED BRASS Glimmer Foil and the GLIMMER RECTANGLE GLIMMER PLATES. I then die cut the card front with the largest frame from the RECTANGLE ETCHED DIES.

Here again, I kept the card simple by only using 2 colors. This time, I used the MR and MRS WEDDING CAKE DIES the I die cut the MR and MRS, the cake background, trim, and the leaves using a gold foil cardstock and the cake and flowers using white cardstock.

I then adhered the pieces onto the center of the card front panel, using foam tape to pop up some areas on the cake to add some dimension. And then just finished this card by adding some GOLD FOIL PEARLS for added interest.

I hope you were inspired by these simple yet Elegant Foiled Wedding Cards featuring Wedding Season Dies by Nichol Spohr.

Thank you for stopping by, wishing you all a wonderful weekend... Happy Crafting 👋
