Hello Friends!

I am back today with the cutest Valentine's Card I have ever made, IMO😆 If you love this bee as much as I do and need to have it, hurry and make sure to grab it now as it is RETIRING forever from the Honey Bee Stamp Shop as supplies are limited and for a great price too! 👉Honey Bee Stitching Die 

CARD RECIPE

Felt Bee - Honey Bee Stitching Die - retiring soon!

Sentiment - Slimline Sentiments: Stitched Dies - retiring soon!

Stencil - Fluttering Hearts Background Stencils

Embellishment - Sweethearts - Clay Hearts

Eyes - Essentials Enamel Stickers

As you can see the card is pretty basic. To create it I used one of the Stencils from the Fluttering Hearts Background Stencils and used pink ink to blend out the hearts. The sentiment is cut from black shiny cardstock using the Bee Mine Slimline Sentiments: Stitched Dies 👈also RETIRING! For the dot of the "i", I used a clay heart.

To make the felt bee, I wanted it to have 2 wings and be finished on both sides. To do that I die-cut each piece x2 from felt. I then first stitched the yellow body layers and the white wing layers together leaving a tiny hole for stuffing later. I used yellow embroidery floss to create a Backstitch all the way around the body. (I ended up using the back side of the bee as I like how the backside of the backstitch looked. Usually, the back side is the messy stitched side). Before completing the Backstitch I added some stuffing between the middle layers. I then finished stitching the body using black embroidery floss to attach the black pieces. For the wings, I used white embroidery floss but used a Blanket Stitch. 

Next, I stitched some eyelashes in place before gluing on some black enamel dots for the eyes. For the antennae, I used a thin wire that I threaded through the top and just twisted it to stay in place. I then snipped the excess length and curled ends. Now for the cheeks, I applied some pink ink using a shader brush, then added a white dot to the center using a gel pen.

To the backside of the bee, I used hot glue to attach a magnet to it. Once it is completely dry,  attach it to the card base by using another magnet to secure it in place on the inside of the card. For fun and a little magic, watch the bee move by sliding around the inside magnet!

Obviously, this card will not fit into an envelope. To solve this problem and keep the felt clean, I will store it and gift it in an A7 cello bag.

I hope this darling Felt Bee has inspired you to think out of the box when it comes to cardmaking! I love how this Bee Mine Valentine - Felt Fridge Magnet Card turned out and I hope my Valentine will too 😉For those of you following me on Instagram, stay tuned for a Reel coming soon!

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

Lovely Layers Rainbow Rose | Valentine's Day Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my dear friends, and Happy New Year!!!

Yes, this is my first post for 2022 and of course, I had to start off with a Rainbow Rose inspiration🌹🌈😁

Today's card could be used for any occasion, but I did pair it with a "love you" sentiment from the new Bitty Buzzwords: Be Mine to make it a valentine's Day Card. 

CARD RECIPE

To begin I die cut all the pieces for the Lovely Layers: Roses and then Ink Blended each layer of the petals using Atelier Inks from Inkon3, see thumbnails below.

For the petals, I first used Goddess Green Ink and then went back in with Trinity to darken some of the petals and stems.

I used foam tape to build up the petals of the rose, leaving the center free of foam so that I could add glue to it and pinch it together with reverse tweezers until the glue dried. This gives the rose some fan-like dimension. And, yes this does make the card super bulky. So this would be one card that would have to be hand-delivered or you'd have to put it in a "box of roses". This rose would also look amazing in a frame too! Check out my previous lovely layer frames HERE.

For the background, I used a few of the stencils from the Layered Lace Layering Stencils to add Moonstone Paste and create some glittery borders on the card front.

The "love you" stamp comes from the Bitty Buzzwords: Be Mine set that was stamped on black cardstock using white ink and embossing PWD. It then was die cut using one of the smaller banners from the Sentiment Banner Dies.

To finish this beauty, I added some of my favorite sequins for even more sparkle and shine.

I hope I didn't disappoint you with this rainbow rose creation. I am absolutely in love with it and hope you are too!

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