Mini Holiday Floral Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Festive holiday shaker card featuring layered pink and red floral die-cuts, a textured brick background, gingham patterned paper in the shaker window, and a "Happy Holidays" sentiment. Embellished with pearl stickers and glitter for added sparkle.

Hello, crafty friends! Today, I'm sharing a festive shaker card I created for Honey Bee Stamps using mostly new goodies from the Cozy Christmas Release. This project combines some lovely floral layers with a cozy, textured background, perfect for sending "Happy Holidays" wishes. Let’s dive into the details of how I brought this card to life!

CARD RECIPE
  • Layering Vintage Labels Honey Cuts – Frame for the shaker window
  • Rustic Brick Wall 3D Embossing Folder – Embossed background
  • Gingerbread Village Paper Pad – Background patterned paper
  • Cello Sheets – To create the shaker window
  • Great Greetings: Holiday Honey Cuts – Sentiment
  • Lovely Layers: Mini Holiday Florals Honey Cuts – Floral elements
  • Bee Creative Clear Embossing Ink & Clear Embossing Powder – For the sentiment's glossy finish
  • Gingerbread Pearl Stickers – As embellishments
  • Prisma Glitter – Added sparkle to the florals
  • Iridescent Chunky Confetti – For the shaker filler (discontinued product, link to similar product)
  • Copic Pigment - White Splatter

  • Lovely Layered Florals

    For a beautiful floral touch, I used the Lovely Layers: Mini Holiday Florals Honey CutsAfter die-cutting, I ink-blended each piece and added extra depth with Copic markers, and then I splattered white ink to enhance the wintry feel. Once assembled, I set the floral elements aside to work on the shaker frame.


    Creating the Shaker Front

    To create the front of the shaker, I die-cut the largest frame from the Layering Vintage Labels Honey Cuts out of white cardstock. Next, I ran it through the Rustic Brick Wall 3D Embossing Folder to add cozy brick detailing to the card front. Then I set this piece aside while I prepared the background.


    Building the Background

    For warmth and a rustic touch, I selected a charming gingham pattern from the Gingerbread Village Paper Pad for the background. I trimmed the paper slightly larger than the window opening, added the shaker bits in the center, and adhered a cello sheet over the area using liquid glue along the perimeter. Since these shaker bits add minimal bulk, foam tape wasn’t necessary. Finally, I attached this piece behind the shaker window, creating a charming holiday scene, and adhered it to the card base.

    Adding the Florals

    With the shaker component in place, I arranged the floral elements from the previous steps around the card. I used foam adhesive to elevate some of the pieces, giving the design depth and dimension.


    Sentiment

    For the "Happy Holidays" sentiment, I used the Great Greetings: Holiday Honey Cuts. To give the letters a glossy, dimensional look, I applied Bee Creative Clear Embossing Ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. This subtle shine makes the sentiment pop against the background, adding thickness and rigidity to the die cuts.


    Final Touches
    For the finishing touches, I applied Prisma Glitter to parts of the florals, adding a festive sparkle. I also used Gingerbread Pearl Stickers as embellishments to enhance the holiday feel. These small details bring the card to life, making it perfect for spreading holiday cheer!

    Hello, my friends! Have you started on your Holiday Cards yet? Today I'm sharing 3 Holiday cards made from one background. My examples include a Hanukkah card, and Winter Card, and a Christmas Card, just to make sure I have all my friends covered this festive season.

    CARD DETAILS

    All of these cards began with creating a simple snowflake patterned background using the SNOWFLAKES stamp set with a gold emb. pwd. onto an 8.5 x11 piece of dark blue cardstock. I then sliced the paper into 3 equal parts and then die cut each panel using the large frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2

    On this first card, I die cut all the letters using the CHUNKY ALPHABET to spell out Christmas. I then used the same gold embossing powder to add some thickness to the letters. Next, I die cut a piece of vellum using the scalloped slimline frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2 to soften the background and to add my sentiments too. I then stamped the Merry from the POINSETTIA BORDER set and heat embossed it as well.

    As a finishing touch, I added a few GOLD FOIL PEARLS, and this first card is done!

    For this next winter slimline, I die cut the center of the panel using a frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2 to create a window for the shaker card. To the back of the panel, I added a piece of acetate and then created a border using BLACK FOAM TAPE and then filled the area using CRYSTAL STARS and SPARKLING SEA CONFETTI MIX

    On a piece of white cardstock, cut slightly smaller than the front panel I stamped the sentiments celebrate winter using stamps from the POINSETTIA BORDER set. I then closed the shaker window using the stamped sentiment panel and then glued that finished piece to the card base. Once again I used the GOLD FOIL PEARLS as a finishing detail.

    For my final Hanukkah Card, I die cut the oval frame from the snowflake panel using the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 1 and glued the oval to the card base. I then stamped out the sentiments using stamps from the HAPPY CELEBRATIONS set and centered it over the oval that I had glued onto on the card base. I then glued the snowflake slimline panel in place to finish the card.

    As a final touch, I added a few GOLD SPARKLE CRYSTALS.

    I hope you were inspired by this snowflake slimline Holiday Set of Cards. There are so many possibilities you can take this idea using different stamps and different colors. If you aren't into the Slimline Cards you could use the same idea to create 4 backgrounds for A2 sized cards.

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

    Making Multiples - 1 Design 5 Holiday Cards | Honey Bee Stamps


    Making Multiples - 1 Design 5 Holiday Cards | Honey Bee Stamps by ilovedoingallthingscrafty.com

    Hello friends and Happy Monday!

    This week the Honey Bee Stamps Design Team is showcasing Clean & Simple Christmas Cards and simple ways to mass-produce them for the Holidays. CAS is not my forte, but I think these came out beautifully.


    CARD DETAILS

    To start, I trimmed card fronts using patterned paper to 4.25 x 5.5 inches, from the LOG CABIN Paper Pad. I then glued them onto the front of the A2 sized card bases.

    Now, let me show you my process in pictures so you can see how easily these cards were made. For the sake of variety, I changed the sentiments, but you could totally keep the same sentiment to simplify things even further and use the same paper too. Refer to the number in the picture below for directions.

    1. Load the card into the stamping tool and stamp out the sentiment directly onto the patterned paper.
    2. Line up the coordinating die with the stamped sentiment.
    3. Die-cut the sentiment from the top panel of the card front and place it back into the stamping tool.
    4. Stamp the sentiment out again. This time it will stamp directly onto the inside of the card.

    SO simple and easy right!?! You can leave them as is now, or take these a step further like I did.

    To this card, I added some crystal drops, twine, and a button. This is a great way to use up all those embellishments I know you all have been hoarding in your craft room like me 😝

    This next card, I added some more crystal drops, twine, and another button. When was the last time you added a button to your card?!

    To this pink beauty, I added some of the CRYSTAL PRISM GEM STICKERS that I glued on top of a few BLIZZARD CONFETTI and the snowflakes from LOG CABIN Sequins. I also used washi tape, ribbon and again a button!

    To this winter snowflake beauty, I added a few CRYSTAL PRISM GEM STICKERS, twine and you guessed it, another button!

    This last card, I even did a little gold embossing. The only reason I did that was because the coordinating die did not cut out the leaves, and black ink on black paper is barely visible. Since the ink I used was slow drying I added a little embossing powder to the wet ink to heat set it and make it pop off the black paper. To the bottom of the card, I just added some more washi tape and gold gems to the center of the snowflakes.

    If you are looking for easy ways to mass-produce your holiday cards I hope you try out this technique. Hopefully, I have inspired you to use up your patterned papers and embellishments that I know you all have been holding on to!

    Thank you for stopping by, have a great week 😊
