Crafty Friendship Cards | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello crafty friends and Happy August!

Yes, it has been a while since my last post, really it's only been like 10 days but in the social media world, it seems like forever! I am purposely taking it slow this month and trying to enjoy the family and the weather as much as possible as I am on vacation this month. Any posts that you see from me this month have been pre-scheduled in reality.

So let's get on with today's crafty friendship cards featuring goodies from Honey Bee Stamps Summer Stems Release.

CARD RECIPE

I created both cards using all the images that I had colored from the Let's Get Crafty stamp set. I reserved the sewing items for a card I previously shared 👉here. This craft set is perfect for not only crafty friends but for teachers and back-to-school themed cards. So here is the recipe for my first card.

Stamps: 

• Let's Get Crafty Stamps

Dies:

• Let's Get Crafty Dies
• Crafty Dies

Paper: 

• Neenah Solar White 110lbs

Color Media:

• Copic Markers SSS | AMZ

Ink:

• Intense Black Ink

Die Cut Machine:

• Gemini Junior SSS | AMZ

Adhesives:

• Bee Creative Glue 
• Foam - Foam Squares

Embellishments:

• Summer Stems Gem Stickers
• Glossy Accents
• Sparkle Glitter

Other Tools:

• Reverse Tweezers
• New Mini Misti

I kept things super simple. Basically stuck all the elements along the bottom of the card panel and popped them up with foam. For the sentiment, I colored the top layer of the crafty die in rainbow order added some glue, and then sparkle glitter.

This next Slimline card is more for the artist in your life, one that loves all the media!

Sunshine & Sunflowers Friend Ship Cards | Tonic Studios Stamp Club Release

It's the last Friday of the month and you know what that means, it's time for another Tonic Stamp Club Release!

Welcome to the June 2021 Tonic Studios Sunshine & Sunflowers June 2021 Release. If you have already joined the hop you have finally made it to the last stop and should have arrived from Jen's Blog.  I will link the complete hop list and giveaway details near the end of this post, so stay tuned for those just getting started! 

Sunflowers are some of my favorites, and I was excited to see them on this release. Let's take a look at this versatile Sunshine & Sunflowers Set US | UK. 

• STAMPS: Large, beautiful sunflower stamps with lovely sentiments.
• DIES: Coordinate with the stamps AND also include paper-layering sunflower builder dies.
• Use the flower builder dies with colored cardstock and/or paper you've colored or ink blended.

I love how these sets come in high-quality plastic sleeves, that are compatible to work with A5 ring binders. How cool is that!? They come in an Orange US|UK or Blue binder US|UK.

So let's get started on the 3 cards I have made for inspiration today.

CARD RECIPE#1

• Blend out the background using pink, yellow, and blue ink overlapping each color to produce the rainbow blend.
• Die-cut the pieces for the sunflower using the dies from the Sunshine & Sunflowers die set using white cardstock.
• Piece the fower together, adding foam in between the layers.
• For the leaves use vellum.

• To the center of the flower, I added some chunky glitter.
• Glue sunflower to the center of the blended area.
• Add the stem.
• Stamp the sentiment from the Sunshine & Sunflowers set along the stem.
• Trim the panel and attach it to the card base, using foam in between.
• Finish with an iridescent bubble.

 

CARD RECIPE#2

• Die-cut all the pieces for 3 sunflowers using the dies from the Sunshine & Sunflowers set.
• Color each sunflower by blending out 3 different inks. 
• Piece together each flower head using foam in between to add dimension.
• Blend out the leaves and stems.

• Glue elements to the card front. 
• Stamp out the sentiment.
• Trim the panel and attach it to the card base.
• Add chunky glitter to the centers of the flowers.

CARD RECIPE#3

• Stamp out the sunflower using a no-line ink.
• Color using Copic markers, and details using Prismacolor pencils.
• For the background, I used shimmer powder on watercolor paper.
• Trim the background to fit the Mini Slimline card.

• Glue the flower pieces onto the background.
• Stamp the sentiment along the stem.

• To the ladybug add glossy accents.
• Add chunky Glitter to the center of the flower.
