Home Is Where the Succulents Are Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello dear friends! 

Hope you are all doing well. We just got back from a little getaway to the west coast. It was nice to get away for a little but I am happy to be home. Today's card is kind of fitting. I love all things succulent, even though they sometimes manage to die on me it doesn't stop me from loving them. 

This card features the beautiful Succulent Garden Builder Dies from Honey Bee Stamps' last release. This card is perfect for a friend, a loved one, or someone that just moved into a new house.

CARD RECIPE

• To start I die cut all the succulents a couple of times from white cardstock.
• I then used various shades of green and purples to ink blend the foliage.
• To add extra detail I used Copic markers.

• Next, I created the arrangement and glued the pieces in place to create a hanging basket. I did snip off the tassels from the hanger to make it work with the pot I used.
• I then used gold foil thread and looped it through the hanger and secure the ends to the back of the scalloped panel that I had cut using the largest frame from the Scallop A7 Frame Dies.

• The sentiment comes from the Bitty Buzzwords: Bloom Stamps using Intense Black Ink on the side of the panel.
• To embellish the card a little I added a few gems from the Marvelous Moments Gem Stickers set.
• I then glue the panel onto a card base that I had glued a piece of pattern paper from the Marvelous Moments Paper Pad.

I hope you like this clean and simple Home Is Where the Succulents Are Card of mine today. These simple cards are the hardest card to make for me as I always want to keep adding more, lol! 

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

Keyhole Shaker Card | Hero Arts

Hello friends, 

Happy Friday! I have had a crazy busy couple of weeks and finally made it back into the craft room. I spent most of last week on my time off from work, re-doing my craft room. If you are curious and would like to see it make sure you go check out my stories and Reel over on Instagram. I have saved the stories to a highlight. 

So let's get on with today's card. This simple shaker card features the Keyhole design from this My Monthly Hero Kit January 2022 and I used it to create a Welcome Home card for a friend who will be moving soon.

If you know me I love shakers, although I must admit it has been a while since I have made a traditional one as I prefer making my frameless shaker versions now. So for this card, I cut out the keyhole window using the Fancy cover plate from Kraft cardstock. I then added the acetate to the back of the opening and then built the foam well to house the iridescent heart sequins around the opening and edges. On a piece of black cardstock, I stamped out the sentiment "Welcome Home" that comes from the Signpost Stamp & Cut XL and heat embossed it in white, and added a pile of the heart sequins to the center of the cardstock. I then removed the protective layer of the foam tape from the top panel and lined the bottom of the keyhole with the sentiment to create the shaker element. This layer was then glued onto a Kraft card front panel that was glued onto the card base. 

To finish I added a key to the front of the window that is included in the My Monthly Hero Kit January 2022.

A super simple card for someone moving to a new home. This gorgeous MMH kit hasn't sold out yet, so make sure you grab it while quantities last.

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

Sealed With Love Day 4 Sneak Peeks | Honey Bee Stamps

Happy humpday friends and welcome to the final day of Sneak Peeks for Honey Bee Stamps Sealed With Love Release! Make sure you check out the Honey Bee Stamps Blog for more Day 4 inspiration from the Design Team. Please note that new links will not be active until the Release goes live tonight December 15th, 2021 @9pm CST.

My first Plant Scene card today features the new Happy Plants Stamps and Dies, the Rooting for You Sentiment Stamps and Dies as well as the new Geometric Lines Stencil.

These plants were colored using Copic Markers, and I used Hero Arts Embossing Paste to create the background.

This next Plant Scene card features the new Mod A2 Cover Plate as well as pattern paper from the new Hugs And Kisses Paper Pad.

I always have to finish my cards with a little bit of bling, a card of mine isn't complete unless there is a sparkle somewhere. Is anyone else like that or am I the only crazy one?! LOL😆

The Rooting for You along with the Happy Plant Sets make the perfect cards for someone who is moving, has bought a new house, needs encouragement or sympathy, or just a thank you for their hospitality. 

Thank you for joining me these past few days for the Sealed with Love Sneak Peeks. Don't forget the release goes live at @9pm CST! 

Until next time... Happy Shopping!
