Spring Birthday Gift Card Box | Adventure Awaits Release | Honey Bee Stamps

Hey Friends, I am back again today with more inspiration for the Adventure Awaits Release from Honey Bee Stamps.

Today I am featuring the Vintage Gift Card Box Dies not in the theme of the Release but rather as a Spring Birthday Gift Card Box. This Gift Card Box could easily be made to suit your needs for any occasion by simply changing your papers and the sentiment. Make sure to check out all the supplies I used in the links below.

Here is a photo of me holding it for reference of scale. It is large enough to hold a gift card plus it could hold some treats as well.

The window is optional, but I like that it's there. You could easily also change the shape of the by using an oval or a rectangular die too. Other than die cutting and assembling the box and flowers there is not much to explain. The sentiment comes from the new Hooked on You Stamp and Die sets.

I hope this little birthday gift card box inspired you. The Box Die itself is a bit pricey, but if you are someone that loves to give out gift cards this die will definitely come in handy and pay for itself. I think this would make a great little treat box to give as a gift to your guests for a larger event like a shower or even a wedding.

Don't forget to stop by the Honey Bee Stamps Blog for more inspiration. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Floral Cross Religious Thank You Cards

Hello friends.

Wow, I have been one crazy Momma lately! My daughter celebrated her Confirmation this past Sunday and it just so happened to fall on the same day my son turned 14 years old. So I did what any other crazy crafty mom does and went overboard with the all the crafts, making all the DIY decorations and party details. From the cake table, cake toppers, sugar cookies, flower arrangements, guest keepsakes, and Thank you cards, yup did it all... yah, a bit nuts I admit... That's just me! The only thing I didn't do this time was make the cakes. I think I would have died if I had to do those too as they are so time consuming and I knew I wasn't going to have the time. I also asked my lovely and very talented sister in law to make me some cake pops as they are my daughter's favorite. If you have been following on Social Media, I have already shared some pictures of most of the decor but I will share some also here at the end of the post.

Today I want to focus on a few of the cards I made for some of the other important people that shared the day with us. The Confirmation Sacrament occurs when the child reaches adolescence and seals their own faith to complete what began with during the child's Baptism. As part of this day the child chooses a Sponsor, who then we refer to as a Godparent.  To thank the Godmother and the Catechists that prepared my daughter for the special day I created these very simple Thank You cards.

The Floral Cross stamp I used for the card comes from Studio Katia. You may have have seen me use it recently on an Easter Card - here. Love that this stamp is so versatile!

Since I was creating multiples I used a stamping platform to stamp out each panel. I then used Silver embossing powder and heat set it. Ran each panel through the sizzix die cutting machine using MFT's Scalloped rectangles. Then layered the card front onto a piece of  silver glitter vinyl that I had adhered onto the card base. The Thanks die comes from a Hero Arts set. See links below for all supplies used.

To stamp out the word Godmother took some creativity. I used letters from the Best Ever stamp set to put  the word together. I began with the "other" from brother, masking off the "br" then adding embossing powder and setting it. I then worked my way backward through the entire word masking off and stamping the remainder of the letters I need to use. I did use a positioner, and as you can see it's not perfectly positioned but I had no time to waste to re do it, but after all it is handmade 😏

On the inside of the cards I stamped out this message from the Honey Bee Stamps Bless Your Heart set.

 Here are some photos of our day and some of my DIY decor!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting  :)

3D Paper Floral Centerpiece | Ink On 3 Files

Today I want to share with you my latest Fleurette Bloom Design Team Project "3D Paper Floral Centerpiece."  Aren't those flowers GORGEOUS?! Hard to believe that they are made out of paper!

Have you ever thought of paper floral arrangements as centerpieces for your next event? Why not!?! Yes, they are a little more work but so worth it! They are less expensive to make than buying real flowers, they will last you forever, and are just as beautiful! Plus, your guests will be amazed that you made them too :)

To make this beautiful 3D Paper Floral Centerpiece you will need SVG files from Fleurette Bloom's Valentine Be Mine 3D SVG Kit and Lush Flowers 3D SVG Collection. 

Other supplies I used to create this include:

Card stock

Inks

Hot glue and a glue gun

Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive

Decorative Burlap Ribbon

Toothpicks

2" Styrofoam ball 

Decorative green moss

Cut on the Silhouette Cameo with SSDE

The coolest part is that the Flower Pot (modified coffee mug) opens up to reveal a little surprise! 

 This arrangement would also make a great gift for someone. Think Valentine's Day, Mothers's Day, and upcoming Friend's Birthday... the possibilities go on and on! Also, the treats you fill the base with will act as a weight, keeping it from tipping over! If you chose to make it for yourself just fill the base with stones, beans, whatever you have handy will work ;)

I absolutely LOVE how this 3D Paper Floral Centerpiece turned out!!! I hope you love it too! If you do make this project make sure you share it on Fleurette Blooms Facebook Page :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting  :)
