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!

Double-sided Interactive See-Through Birthday Shaker Card | Studio Katia

Do you want to create a card that will blow your friends and family away? Look no further than this see-through double-sided interactive shaker card featuring the A2 Shaker Pockets from Studio Katia. As the creator of these pockets, I thought it would be fun to try something new and different. Plus I thought this design would make a stunning creation for my son's 19th birthday, and which I'm thrilled to share it with you today in hopes of inspiring your own card-making adventures.

To start, you'll need to double up on the Dotted Balloons Dies and the Shaker Balloon Die to create both the front and back of the balloons. Then, add a personal touch by stamping the Birthday Greetings and Mini Love Greetings Stamp set onto the balloons. I even wrote 💗mom, one of them!

To create the shaker pocket, I adhered two A2 Shaker Pockets together using double-sided tape and added a frame from the Dotted Pattern Set 1 to both sides. Then, I secured a clear thread between the balloons before attaching them together. The final step is to fill the pocket with dazzling Crystal Rainbow Confetti and Silver Fever Foil Discs before sealing the pocket shut.

If you look close enough you will see that some of the acetate from the tabs are still visible. To solve for this you can trim them first, or just use a wider frame. Nevertheless, the result is a stunning card that is sure to impress anyone who receives it.

With a little creativity and the right tools, you too can create a show-stopping card that will be treasured for years to come. So, let your imagination run wild and make your own Double-sided Interactive See-Through Shaker Card!

Don't forget to follow along on my Instagram account as I will also share the how-to Reels so you can see it all come together.

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

Birthday Balloon Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and Happy 2023! 

Yes, this is my first post of the New Year, so I wanted to wish you all the best and thank you all for your support over the years. 

EYE UPDATE: As I have mentioned recently I have been struggling with the vision in my left eye, I barely see anything out of it now. What I do see is mostly shapes and colors, no detail. Because of that, I have been limiting my screen time. For now, I am patching my left eye to avoid straining it when I am online, and still trying to figure out how to decrease the stress on my good eye. I am hoping my left-side vision will stabilize and improve, I just don't want it to get worse. Thankfully, I have a great team of doctors that are following me closely and I am so thankful for all the support I have received. Don't worry I will still be creating just less often, so I am hoping you still will stick with me.

If you saw my last post, you will recognize the similarities between the two backgrounds. I loved my last background so much that I had to recreate the rainbow background again, but this time using balloons from Honey Bee Stamps. Birthday cards are definitely my favorite cards to make and shakers just make the best birthday cards because they are like a party on their own. 

CARD RECIPE

• To begin, I used one of the stencils from the Layering Balloon Stencils and started by blending the yellow ink in the center, followed by the pink ink on top and then the blue on the bottom. When you overlap with the previous color it results in a rainbow blend. Repeat the process with the top layer of the stencil. Use light pressure when blending to create somewhat of a transparent effect.
• Once the background is done, add double-sided tape to the back and secure 3 of the shaker pocket tabs. I filled the pocket with Bokeh Lights Confetti and sealed the last tab. Remove the protective plastic layer from the pocket if it has one.
• Attach the finished shaker pocket to a card base.

• Using Rainbow Glimmer Foil, I foiled stamped the Happy Birthday Plate from the Foil Script: Wishes Hot Foil Plate/Dies and then die cut it using the coordinating die.
• Use glue to secure the sentiment to the front of the shaker, and voila, how easy was this birthday card!?

A card like this would be easy to mass-produce and have on hand for upcoming birthdays. Change up the colors to make switch things up and make the cards more personal. I think I may have to take my own advice and make some for my stash as I am always running low.

I hope you got some inspiration from today's Birthday Balloon Shaker Card. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
