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!

Honey Bunny Valentine Slimline Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello sweet friends and Happy Monday!

Today I have this fun slimline Honey Bunny Valentine shaker card to share with you. As you may have noticed, this card features a slimline window design. No, this is not a new Slimline frame from Honey Bee Stamps, but a DIY using some old and new dies which I will explain how to make later on.

CARD DETAILS

The first thing I did was stamp all the images from the HONEY BUNNIES stamp set. I then colored them in and die cut them using the coordinating HONEY BUNNIES DIES. I chose to use most of the images because I simply couldn't decide on one. So to fit all of this cuteness on a card I decided to go with a Slimline card.

To make the Slimeline shaker, I cut the frame using the SLIMLINE SENTIMENT STITCHED dies. I then had the idea to turn this into a shaker for an added layer of interaction. So to do this I drew a very faint line down the center of the frame cut out. Next, I used one of the smaller DOUBLE STITCHED SQUARE DIES and lined the middle of the square with the line I had drawn, taped it down, and then ran it through the die-cutter to create the first window. I repeated the same process for both the other windows. It was easy to divide the space on each side visually so I didn't use any measurements.

To the backside of the window frame, I added a piece of acetate and then foam tape along the outer edge. Next, I cut a piece of red cardstock slightly smaller than the frame and added a mound of sequins to the center, and then closed them in with the window frame to complete the shaker area.

 

The shaker was then glued onto a pink piece of cardstock that had been cut to the size of the card base that measured 9x4 inches.

I then glued the images on to each window to tell this bunny's love story.

The sentiment was composed of both the HONEY Stamp set and the HONEY DIES. I stamped the sentiments onto black cardstock and then white heat embossed the letters. I then die cut the strips using the SENTIMENT BANNER DIES.

For more sparkle and shine I painted on a layer of liquid pixie dust to all the hearts and the wing of the cupid bunny.

I hope you got some inspiration from this fun Honey Bunny Valentine Slimline Shaker Card. I love it when I can use supplies I already have to create something totally new.

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

Rainbow Christmas Gnomes | Frameless Slimline Shaker Card | Alex Syberia Design

Hello, my friends, and Happy FriYAY!

Today I have another fun Frameless Slimline Shaker Card, this time featuring the cute Digital Christmas Gnomes designed by Alex Syberia done in my favorite palette, Rainbow colors! For those of you that want a visual on how to make these Frameless shaker cards, click HERE for a video I made last year.

CARD DETAILS

As with all digital stamps, I downloaded the image from the Alex Syberia shop and then printed it out onto Neenah Cardstock.

Next, I colored the images using Copic markers. This image actually took me several days to color as I have been doing it for Kathy Racoosins 30 11 Day Coloring Challenge. Once the background was colored I added details to the images using gel pens. I then added white ink splatters to create a snowfall on the entire background panel. 

Now to create the frameless shaker... I used the plastic from a page protector to cut a piece larger than the panel. I usually like about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch border. I then snip off the corners to make it easier to fold the plastic completely flat. 

To the back of the colored panel, I add strips of scor-tape along the outer edges. I then lay the colored background face down onto the plastic sheet. Next, I remove the protective layer from the adhesive strips and fold down three of the plastic tabs, leaving one side open, creating a pocket that I then fill with my shaker bits. Once I am happy with the shaker bit amount I fold and adhere down the last plastic tab.

Now, to add a sentiment to the front of the card. This greeting stamp comes from the Simon Says Stamp GOOD CHEER set, which was stamped onto vellum and heat embossed using Silver Emb. Pwd. I then just fussy cut around the sentiment and glued it onto the front of the shaker panel.

The last thing to do is to attach the panel to a Slimline card base cut to the same size as the card panel to give it the frameless look. I find I get the best results using scor-tape on the panel rather than a wet adhesive. 

These cards are so easy to do, there is no messing with foam tape and the best part is that they are super thin for mailing! I hope I have inspired you tho give them a try. HERE is the link again for a visual tutorial.
