Wagon Wheel Floral Arrangement Hello Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello again friends! 

Today the Honey Bee Stamps design team is celebrating the Heartfelt Harvest Release with an Instagram Hop. So if you like prizes, I would suggest you hop on over to 👉 Instagram and Hop along as 2 people will win $50 to the Honey Bee Stamps Shop!

Here is the card I am featuring on the Hop. Isn't she pretty!?

For this card, I die-cut all the pieces and assembled them together. For the wheel, I used colored cardstock and for the flowers, I used white cardstock and ink blended each stem. I then arranged them and snipped a couple of the flowers apart to balance the bouquet. Since the center is the messiest part, I covered that up with a burlap bow. Below is the breakdown of all the pieces.

Wheel - Lovely Layers: Wagon Wheel Dies

Flowers - Lovely Layers: Autumn Bouquet Dies

Frames - Fancy Fall Layering Frames

Hello - Grateful Gatherings

Pattern Paper - Pinstripes and Polka Dots Harvest Paper Pad

Alex Syberia Designs Kickstarter Campaign Inspiration Cards

Hello friends!

Today's post is going to be super short and sweet. I have waaaayyyy too many things to do right now, so I will keep this brief! 

Alex Syberia Designs need to reach its funding goal to be able to go ahead and manufacture this beautiful collection, so please, help them! You can back them on their Kickstarter Campaign and help them spread the word about it! 

UPDATE: They have reached their Kickstarter GOAL!!! Thank you all that joined us and for supporting this campaign! Make sure to join today's Instagram Hop to enter their amazing giveaway of 15 prizes!

Today I have two inspiration cards today featuring a few of their beautiful sets. 

This first card features the For You Stamp Set 6x8" | Coordinating Dies that I stamped out using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Inks (Sunbeam, Citrus, Grapefruit, Peony, Pearfection and Surf)

To the background, I used the Modern Stripes Stencil 6x6" and applied Moonstone Glimmer paste to create a Slimline sparkly background. To extend the background I simply rotated the stencil once half of the paste was dry.

For this next card, I thought it would be fun to create a Christmas theme. So I added used Christmas colors to do that. This cute card features the From All of Us Stamp Set 4x6" and Coordinating Dies

For this background, I used the Fancy Background Stencil 6x6" with Gold Glacier Paste.

It's funny how your mind works, I knew there was something missing from this card, and it wasn't until now that I figured out what it was. I forgot to add the Celebrate Word Die to the top of the card. I since have and it really does complete it. Facepalm, LOL! If I end up taking new photos, because this is bugging me now, I will update these, haha!

Here's my UPDATED card!!!

I hope these Alex Syberia Designs Kickstarter Campaign Inspiration Cards inspired you to go over and support this amazing Artist and small business, they are so deserving of all this support!

Thanks again for stopping by and until next time, happy crafting!

Fallen Leaves Card Set | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and hello fallen leaves! 

The trees right now are my favorite. All the colors just make me smile😊🍂🍁 So for today's post, I tried to replicate some of nature's beauty.

CARD RECIPE

• Die cut the leaves from the Lovely Layers Fall Foliage Dies using watercolor paper.
• Mist paper and sprinkle various colors of Shimmer Powder.
• Allow to completely dry.
• Add splatters to the leaves using black ink.

• Glue onto another die-cut layer for strength and to add a little dimension. 

• Use the Fanciful A2 Foil Plate to dry emboss 4 pieces of black cardstock for the background.

• Foil the sentiments onto black cardstock using the Fall Foliage Foil Plate using Copper Glimmer Foil and the Hot Foil System.

• Die cut the words using the coordinating dies from Fall Foliage Frame Dies.

• Assemble cards and glue them onto the pattern paper from this latest release Free Bee with purchase, or a Pattern paper of your choosing. 

• Use foam dots to pop up the sentiments.
• Embellish the cards by adding coordinating pearls.

I hope these colorful leaves inspired you to pull out your inks, powders, sprays, or whatever media you like, and have fun making faux fall leaves. These pictures don't do these leaves justice, they are so beautiful and shiny in real life.

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

White Sunflower Slimline Hello Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello crafty friends and welcome back to my blog. 

Today's gorgeous White Sunflower Slimline Hello Card is part of an Instagram Hop to celebrate Honey Bee Stamps Autumn Splendor Release. If you'd like to join and enter the giveaway click HERE.

Have you ever seen white sunflowers? I have to admit, I had never seen them until this year and I fell in love with how beautiful they looked in white. Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers and in white, it just took them to another level!

This card was super simple to make as there was no stamping or coloring involved, just a bit of ink blending and die-cutting so it did take a little longer to do, but the results were so worth it. 

CARD RECIPE

Dies:

• Lovely Layers: Sunflowers Dies

• Bitty Buzzwords Dies

Paper: 

• Black, Light Cream, and Light Green Heavy Weight Colored Cardstock

• Neenah Solar White 110lbs

Ink:

•  Antique Linen Distress Oxide

• Goddess Green Atelier Ink

Die Cut Machine:

• Gemini Junior

Adhesives:

• Bee Creative Glue

•  Foam Squares

Embellishments:

•  Burlap Lace Ribbon

• Chunky Sparkle Glitter

Other Tools:

• Detail Blender Brushes
• Stardust Gel Pen

To bring the flowers to life, I added ink to the center of the flower layers and the edges of the leaves. I then curled the petals and added foam to each layer to give each flower dimension.

To the center of each flower, I just had to add sparkles. I then added more by using a gel pen to the top layer where the seed impressions are made into the die-cut. 

To the background, I glued a piece of burlap lace ribbon, then arranged and glued the elements onto the slimline panel. I then finished off this Fall card by adding the hello from the Bitty Buzzwords Dies that I staked and glued 3 times using black cardstock.

I hope you were inspired by this White Sunflower Slimline Hello Card, and I hope you can join me over on Instagram for the Hop and Giveaway... Thank you for stopping by and until next time, Happy Crafting!
