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!

Triple Rose Mini Slimline Friendship Card | Ink On 3

Hello friends,

Today I have a cute Triple Rose Mini Slimline Friendship Card to share with you, featuring both of the latest stamp sets released from Inkon3. I think I may have a new obsession with mini Slimline's, they are so cute IRL and way easier to photograph!

CARD RECIPE

• Stamp TRIPLE ROSE out onto Copic-friendly paper first using BLACKOUT INK. (This just makes it easier to see your lines and won't damage your Copics if you emboss first) Leave the stamp in the positioning tool as you be using it again later.
• Color in Roses using Copic markers or desired medium.

• Once the coloring is complete and Ink is dry, use an anti-static powder bag to ensure the static is removed from the image.
• Place the colored image back into the stamping tool.
• Ink up stamp this time with JUICY INK and stamp image again.
• Use GOLD RUSH EMB. PWD. to add and heat set Gold Embossed details.

• Stamp out and Gold heat emboss the sentiment from the HERE FOR YOU stamp set. Trim and add to the card front.
• Embellish using Iridescent Bubbles.

Hope you got some inspiration from today's Triple Rose Mini Slimline Friendship Card. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
