Spring Inspired Friendship Card | Honey Bee Stamps


Hello my friends! 

I have never in my life have been so anxious for Spring to arrive. We have never had temperatures this cold for so long, and that is saying a lot since I am Canadian and am used to having Winter for 6 months of the year, lol! The only good thing about it being so cold is that I find myself in the craft room a lot more making pretty things. 

So for today's card, I have made a Spring inspired card featuring the Birds and the Bees and the Friendship Stamp sets from Honey Bee Stamps.

CARD DETAILS

To begin this card I stamped out the images I wanted to use from the Birds and the Bees set onto a piece of Bristol paper. I then colored the images in using Zig Clean color markers.  Once they were dry I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out.

For the background, I blended out broken china onto the top half of the card front and then die cut the panel using the largest Deckle Edge Die Frame. I then stamped out the sentiment from the Friendship stamp set on the bottom half of the panel using Picked Raspberry distress oxide ink and then used clear embossing powder to heat set the ink.

Next, I planned out the scene with my pieces and once I was happy I glued them down in place popping up some of the images to add depth and dimension. For a decorative detail, I used some twine in coordinating colors to make it look like the birdhouse was suspended and tied on to the branch.

As finishing details I added some shimmer to the flowers, white and gold pen details as well as glossy accents.

Spring Thank You Card


Hello crafty friends!

Today I have another sweet and simple Spring Thank You card to share with you.

I keep getting inspired by all the crafty goodness from the FB Stamping Enablers Group. If you are at all interested in stamping you need to join their group! BTW I'm not affiliated with them at all, but if you are looking to get inspired they are a truly an enabling group :)

What better way to say thank you then with flowers!
At least these ones will last forever ;)


Here is the recipe for this card:
  • Stamps - Spring Hello by Lia - Hero Arts
  • Ink - distress inks - Tim Holtz
    • Tuxedo Black - Memento
  • Blending tool - 1 Inch Round - Ranger
  • Stamp Positioner - my own DIY Stamping tool
  • Dies - Wonky Stiched Rectangles Stax- My Favorite Things Die-Namics 
    • Flower pot (present) - Party Dies - Craftin Desert Divas
  • Cardstock - Neenah Solar White 80lbs
    • Craft - Recollections
  • Twine - hemp twine

The flower and leaf stamps once stamped were then cut on the Silhouette PixScan mat using a scanner. Click HERE for a previous tutorial on the pixscan/scanner method.

The hardest part of the card was piecing and layering the flower arrangement!


 Hope you've enjoyed my card today :)

Thank YOU all for stopping by!
Happy Crafting  :)

Hello Spring Celtic Card | SVGCuts

Hello Everyone!!!

I cannot remember the last time we have had such a mild winter. The little snow that we had is almost all gone! Every year it feels like we only get a few weeks of Spring and then go straight into summer because of our extremely long winters! This year I think we will see it fairly soon (fingers crossed). I cannot wait for Spring to arrive!

When I first saw the latest FREE Celtic Card file from SVGCuts, I immediately was inspired to create a Spring/Easter card. Look just how beautiful it turned out!
