Falloween Release Sneak Peeks Day 1 | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, crafty friends! 🍁 As the leaves start to change, it's the perfect time to create cards that capture the beauty of fall. Today, I'm excited to share a project featuring the blackout technique, where vibrant colors meet dramatic black accents to create a truly eye-catching design. This card is also a Day 1 Sneak Peek for the Honey Bee Stamps Falloween Release. Make sure you stop by the Honey Bee Stamps Blog for more inspiration from the Design Team featuring more day 1 product reveals. Please note links are inactive until the Falloween Release goes live on August 23rd after the Live Release Party on YouTube at 8 pm EST.

Waffle Flower 2023 October Release Blog Hop and Giveaway

Hello Friends!

I am super excited to be joining Waffle Flower for this month's October Release! Today I have three cards to share and I hope you and hope you will enjoy them. Make sure to check out each stop in today’s blog hop for fun, inspiration, and chances to win some of these new goodies! Find all the hop details near the end of this post.

This first card features the Pop-Up Leaves Panel Die and the Coordinating Stencil. The stencil makes for the easiest ink blending of these Fall colors, and I love the subtle dimension you get from pinching the leaves together.

Using a different color behind the die-cut panel also adds more dimension to the card. To finish this simple Fall card I used the Script Thank You Die, done in Glitter Gold cardstock with the white shadow background.

Next, I have this fun Fall theme Postage Card featuring the newest additions to the collection. 

• Postage Collage for Fall Stamp Set
• Postage Collage for Fall Stencil
• Postage Collage Die (Not new)

On the Kraft background, I stamped in watermark ink, the new Multiple Fall Leaves Stamp Set. I also added a couple of die cuts from the new Dainty Fern Die set as an added detail.

For this last card, I used the Multiple Fall Leaves Stamp Set, which I heat embossed in gold, and then used the coordinating Multiple Fall Leaves Stencil to ink blend the warm colors. Once all the ink and added splatters were dry I die-cut the leaves with the Multiple Fall Leaves Die Set. This little trio is so versatile and a great value for the price point!

For the subtle background, I used the Woodgrain Die. This Die would also make a great window for a shaker card (next time). And to finish this beauty off I used the Print Thank You Die. 

Now onto the Blog Hop and Giveaway!

For today’s hop, Waffle Flower is giving away a $25 gift certificate to THREE lucky winners, that’s a total of 3 chances to win!

White on Kraft Fall Themed Wedding Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!

Many of you know that I have been dealing with visual problems. I am now legally blind in my left eye due to damage to my cornea. Normally I would have colored these beautiful Grateful Gatherings Stamps I am featuring today, but because I don't want to cause more strain on my eyes I want to show you how pretty a card can be even with minimal coloring. This technique is also great for those of you who don't have the time, can't, or like to color.

CARD RECIPE

• To begin, I prepped the kraft card panel with antistatic powder. I then used the Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink to stamp out the images from the Grateful Gatherings Stamp set. I then heat-set the lines with white embossing powder. 
• Next, Die cut the Wagon wheel using the Grateful Gatherings Die set from the panel and set it aside. 
• On the back of the panel add adhesive around the opening and add a piece of acetate cut to fit over the window. 
• On a card base, center and glue the Wagon Die cut. Use the top Panel as a guide by looking through the window.
• Use foam tape to pop up the front panel for the shaker area. Fill in the center of the shaker area with shaker pieces and adhere the top panel in place.
• To the front add the sentiment from the Grateful Gatherings Stamp set done in Bee Creative Metallic Gold Pigment Ink and embossing powder and die cut using the coordinating die.
• To embellish this card further, I used a white pencil to shade in the flowers and foliage.
•  I also added some Pearl Stickers and white pen gel details for interest.
• For that touch of sparkle, I added Bee Creative Liquid Shimmer to the flower centers and the leaves.

• Finally, for the inside sentiment,  I stamped out the congratulations from the Pickup Lines Stamp Set using Bee Creative Intense Black Ink.

I hope you have enjoyed this post and this beautiful Fall-Themed Wedding Shaker Card. Remember there are so many possibilities and ways to stretch out your supplies by simply using a different technique.

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