Gatefold Love Filled Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends!

While Valentine's Day may be behind us, there are countless opportunities ahead to celebrate love. The card I'm sharing today is ideal for the upcoming wedding season, serving perfectly as a wedding invitation, bridal shower note, or heartfelt thank-you card.

CARD RECIPE

Background - Vintage Flourish Stencil

Frame + Heart - Lace Heart Layering Frames Dies

Scalloped half circle - Lovely Layouts: Posted - Dies

Roses - Bold Backgrounds: Vintage Roses Dies

Sentiment - Mailbox Memos Stamp Set

Embellishments - Vintage Pearls- Pearl Stickers

This gatefold card began with die-cutting the scalloped frame from the Lace Heart Layering Frames. I then masked the scalloped edges and added Moonstone Glimmer Paste over the Vintage Flourish Stencil. Once the paste was dry, I sliced the panel down the center and set it aside.

Next, I die-cut two of the half-scalloped circles from the Lovely Layouts: Posted Dies, the scalloped heart from the Lace Heart Layering Frames Dies, a few of the roses and leaves from the Bold Backgrounds: Vintage Roses Dies that I trimmed and pieced together. I then assembled the card front onto a 4 x 11-inch card base, scoring it at 2 3/4 inches from each end, once folded will create a gatefold card base. I trimmed the base slightly smaller than the front so that the scalloped edges would be more visible.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a couple of sentiments from the Mailbox Memos Stamp Set. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this Gatefold Love Filled Card. Until next time... Happy Crafting!

Vintage Mailbox Gift Card, Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and Happy Monday!

Today's card features the super cool Mailbox Card Base from the Vintage Love Release from Honey Bee Stamps which I magically turned into a mailbox for a Gift card, so keep reading to see how I did that.

CARD RECIPE

Mailbox - A2 Vintage Mailbox Card Base Dies

Gift Card Post Card- Mini Postcard Die

Frame - Lovely Layouts Posted Dies

Inside sentiment - Mailbox Memos Stamp Set

Background Stamps - Postmarked Stamp Set

Gems - Vintage Love Gem Stickers

To create the space for the Gift Card, I added a thin piece of foam tape along the edge of the top layer of the mailbox and then glued it to the bottom layer. 

To hold the gift card I simply used a tape runner and applied low tack tape to the back of the gift card I then attached it to the Mini Postcard Die that I had stamped using images from the Postmarked Stamp Set.

To keep the mailbox door closed I cut a thin strip of magnetic material and attached it to the door and the inside of the mailbox.

On the inside, I stamped a sentiment from the Mailbox Memos Stamp Set.

Once the recipient removes the gift card they will also see another little message that I stamped from the Mailbox Memos Stamp Set.

Hope this Vintage Mailbox Gift Card inspired you to use your supplies creatively! Hidden surprises are always fun for the recipient, making this card extra thoughtful!

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

Lovely Layers Anniversary Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Friends, 

I hope you can join me today on Instagram as the Honey Bee Stamps DT celebrates the Vintage Love Release with an Instagram Hop. Whenever there is a Hop there are prizes, so make sure you don't miss out!

This Anniversary card is all about the Layers! Absolutely love how easy it was and how it all came together. The finished card measures 6.5x5 inches. This release is not only great for Valentine's but all year round as the pieces are timeless.

CARD RECIPE

Embossed Heart - Floral Heart 3D Embossing Folder and Die Set

Frames - Lace Heart Layering Frames Dies

Sentiment base Die - Lovely Layouts: Posted - Dies

Patter Paper - Textiles and Texture Vintage Paper Pad

Sentiment - Mini Messages Stamps 

White Sentiment layer - Mini Messages Dies

Embellishments - Vintage Love Gem Stickers

White Ink - Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink

Black Ink - Bee Creative Intense Black Ink Pad

Besides, die cutting and stamping the sentiment this card is not complicated at all. Like I said earlier, it is all about the layers.

The hardest part was embossing the large heart using the Floral Heart 3D Embossing Folder and then Die-cutting it with the coordinating heart. I then used the Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink and rubbed it over the embossed raised areas.

Let me know if you have any questions. Feel free to ask in the comments below! Hope to see you all over on Instagram and until then, thank you for stopping by ... Happy Crafting!

Ilda 💖
