Lovely Layers Peony Miss You Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, again my crafty friends,

This has been a busy week for me both personally and crafty related. I hope you aren't tired of all the posts, but I promise it is the last blog post for this week... Monday we shall start a new week, lol!

Today's beauty is part of Honey Bee Stamps Birthday Bliss Release Instagram Hop. So if you would like to take part, hop along for a chance at winning one of two $25 Gift Cards to the Honey Bee Stamps Shop. Click 👉HERE to join the hop.

CARD RECIPE

This card started by die-cutting all the pieces for the new Lovely Layers: Peony using white cardstock. I then added colors to the layers by Inkblending different shades of purple distress Oxide inks, starting from the darkest color to the lightest. See links below. Once the ink blending was done, I then pieced it together using Foam Dots.

The Peony was then glued onto a background I created by using the Spring Leaves A2 Pierced Cover Plate then die cut the scallop border using one of the Scalloped A7 Frame Dies.

For the sentiment, I actually cheated as I had previously foiled a bunch of sentiments from a previous project. The sentiment was foiled in gold and comes from the Small Card Hot Foil Plates. I added the scalloped edge to the strip by using the same Scalloped A7 Frame Die.

For a touch of bling, I used the new Aurora Borealis Gem Stickers. I then added foam dots to the pierced panel and glued them to an Ivory 5X7 Card base.

I hope you love this card as much as I do. I will be away most of the weekend from social media as I have to attend 3 Communions, 2 Confirmations, and a Celebration of Life, (all of which I am a part of, Lord help me! Hopefully, everything runs smoothly). 

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Hopping! Click 👉HERE to join the hop, and to shop the new release Click 👉HERE!

Super Kobi and the Monster Gang Halloween Scene Card

Are you Halloween fans? If so, make sure you are following the Studio Katia Blog for lots of Halloween inspiration from the design team this week!

Today I am sharing this fun Halloween scene card featuring Kobi the Super Bear Stamps and Dies and together with the Monster Bash Stamp and Die set.

To make this card I started by stamping out all the images, colored them in with Copic markers and then die cut them using coordinating dies. I then blended out 3 colors of distress oxide inks onto my background (Carved Pumpkin, Wilted Violet and Black Soot) and then sprayed the surface with water and picked up the droplets with a paper towel. Next I sprayed the Spider Web Stencil with water and layed it onto the background, allowing it to get absorbed by the paper. I then carefully lifted the stencil off and picked up the water from the paper using a paper towel, which left behind the behind the spiderweb impressions. I then die cut the background using the large dotted rectangle from the Dotted Patterns Set 3 Die set. Then I arranged the little monsters and glue them into place (some directly onto the background and others popped up with foam tape for dimension). Stamped the Halloween Greeting onto the sentiment banner strip from the Best Ever Die set, and glued that into place. Then I finished the card front by adding these fun Silver Polka Fusion Sequins for some sparkle as well as glossy accents.

Don't they look like little a little Street Gang?... makes me giggle!

To the inside I stamped out this fun sentiment!

Hope this uper Kobi and the Monster Gang Halloween Scene Card has inspired you today!

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Have a BOO-tiful Day! 👋

Welcome Little One Card - Flying Stork on a Sliding Track

Hello dear friends!

I finally got my Oh Baby Stamp set from Simon Says Stamp Best Days release. It is such a darling  sweet set and perfect for the new arrivals in life.

Here is the fun interactive Welcome Little One - Flying Stork on a Sliding Track card I made with some of the cute images from the set. Scroll through the first three photos to see the stork movement.

Adding a track to the card was quite simple and quick to do.
Once all my images were colored and cut out, I used a very small piece of paper that I added a score line to and then added one to the back of the stork and bag. Before gluing the pieces in place behind the images I ran a very thin clear thread and placed it in the scored groove I had made. Once the pieces were dry I wrapped the thread around the front panel of the card and secured the ends on to the back with tape. Make sure you do not get any adhesive on the thread as this will prevent the images  from sliding smoothly on the track. Next, popped up the panel onto the card front and added the remainder of the details to the card front. Speaking of details, the clouds were made with the polka dot stamp from the set. I used distress ink and stamped the dots to create the cloud shape. Check out the links below to see all the supplies I used in today's card.

If you want a visual, here is a quick minute clip of how I did it.
(Sorry didn't have the time to edit a full process video 😉 but I think it will get the idea across).

Hope this card has inspired you to try something new, a track as simple as the one I made adds a little extra fun interactive detail that I'm sure the recipient will love!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting  :)
