I Love You Beary Much Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and happy Monday!

I am back again today with the cutest little I love you beary much card, featuring some goodies from the latest Happy Hearts Release from Honey Bee Stamps.

CARD RECIPE

• This cute bear comes from the Heart Hugs Dies. I pieced him together and then added details using Copic Markers, a white gel pen, and added a little smile with a fine-tip black pen. I then gave him a heart to hold that I die cut 3 times and glued together, stamped with the "I" from the Love Love Love Stamps.
• For the background, I used the Damask A2 Cover Plate to add the embossing details and then used the Scallop A2 Frame Dies to create the frame. I then ink-blended the bottom half of the panel to create an ombre gradient.

• Next, I used the leftover die cuts from a previous card I made using the Love A2 Cover Plate. I then die-cut another layer using red cardstock and added it to the top of the stacked letters.
• For the "you" sentiment, I used the Foil Script: Love HFP and Dies that I foiled using Red Glimmer Foil with the Hot Foil System.

I hope these steps were simple to follow as this was a simple card to put together. Nevertheless way too cute!

This would make the perfect card for anyone you love this Valentine's Day. 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!

Fallen Leaves Card Set | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and hello fallen leaves! 

The trees right now are my favorite. All the colors just make me smile😊🍂🍁 So for today's post, I tried to replicate some of nature's beauty.

CARD RECIPE

• Die cut the leaves from the Lovely Layers Fall Foliage Dies using watercolor paper.
• Mist paper and sprinkle various colors of Shimmer Powder.
• Allow to completely dry.
• Add splatters to the leaves using black ink.

• Glue onto another die-cut layer for strength and to add a little dimension. 

• Use the Fanciful A2 Foil Plate to dry emboss 4 pieces of black cardstock for the background.

• Foil the sentiments onto black cardstock using the Fall Foliage Foil Plate using Copper Glimmer Foil and the Hot Foil System.

• Die cut the words using the coordinating dies from Fall Foliage Frame Dies.

• Assemble cards and glue them onto the pattern paper from this latest release Free Bee with purchase, or a Pattern paper of your choosing. 

• Use foam dots to pop up the sentiments.
• Embellish the cards by adding coordinating pearls.

I hope these colorful leaves inspired you to pull out your inks, powders, sprays, or whatever media you like, and have fun making faux fall leaves. These pictures don't do these leaves justice, they are so beautiful and shiny in real life.

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