Recessed Embossing Folder Background Cards - Honey Bee Stamps

Recessed, 3D Embossing Folder, Background, Honey Bee Stamps, how to, hand made card, Stamps, stamping, die cutting, card making, ilovedoingallthingscrafty,Ink Blending,card technique,

Hello friends, 

Today I have a few cards inspired by a couple of my Instagram friends, Enna @ritzyhag and Cindy @crncards If you like my cards today, you will definitely love the inspiration from these two very talented artists!

As you may already know embossing folders have a positive or raised side and a negative or recessed side. I will use the negative or recessed side of the paper for both cards.

CARD RECIPE

  • Place a piece of watercolor cardstock in between the Spring Medley 3D Embossing Folder. I used Canson watercolor paper and gave it a light mist before running it through an embossing/die-cutting machine.
  • Add ink to the recessed side of the embossed design. I used small ink-blending shader brushes and distress oxide inks. 
  • Spray the entire panel with water and allow the inks to mix.
  • To add sparkle to the background, I added some drops of Bee Creative Liquid Shimmer.
  • Allow the panel to completely dry before the next step.

  • Once the embossed panels are completely dry, use the Bee Creative Intense Black Ink Pad and rub the black ink all over the colored recessed side of the panel.
  • Trim the panel down and black ink to the trimmed edges.
  • Glue a black panel to a card base. I left a little white edge around the perimeter of the card.
  • Add foam to the back of the embossed panel and glue it to the card front.
  • Glue the sentiments in place using some foam strips.
  • Finish by adding some gems in the centers of the flowers.

This next card was done the exact same way as the first one only this time I used the Clover Petals 3D Embossing Folder.

 Also, I did not add any Bee Creative Liquid Shimmer and used the Marvelous Moments Gem Stickers.

I love how simple this detailed background was to make. It looks like so much work but it actually came together fairly quickly. The part that took the longest was the drying time of the panels.

Hope you enjoyed these colorful background panels using Embossing Folders. Hopefully, they inspire you to give this technique a try. Remember you can use any water-reactive media to add color to your background. Just have fun!

Hello friends and happy Thursday.

CARD RECIPE

My card features the Brighter Days Gerbera Daisy and coordinating Dies. I stamped out the image using Black Hybrid Ink Pad and then colored it in using Copic Markers. I added white gel pen details for highlights and to the center, I added some sparkle using a glue pen and some sparkle glitter. The sentiment also comes from the Brighter Days Gerbera Daisy.

DIY Four Leaf Clover Card | Honey Bee Stamps

DIY, Four Leaf Clover, Card, Honey Bee Stamps, Lucky, how to, hand made card, Stamps, stamping, die cutting, card making, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Lace Heart Layering Frames Dies,pattern Paper,

Happy March, everyone!

With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, I felt inspired to create a four-leaf clover card using Honey Bee Stamp supplies. Crafting it from scratch is always a joy for me, as I get to explore new ways to use my supplies creatively and develop unique designs. Although I had a few moments of doubt during the process, I'm pleased with the end result. Let me walk you through the process.

CARD RECIPE

Pattern papers - Giddy for Gingham Paper Pad, Gingham Happy Hearts Paper Pad

Glitter Paper - Recollections Spring Glitter Paper Pad

Frames, Heart Dies - Lace Heart Layering Frames Dies

Rainbow Dies - Sweet Stacks Ovals

Sentiment - Mini Messages Stamps

Ink - Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink

Banner - Mini Messages Dies

Gem - Simply Spring Gem Stickers 


Creating the Rainbow:


To form the rainbow, I began by die-cutting the largest oval from the Sweet Stacks Ovals set. Then, I used progressively smaller oval dies to cut the previous die cuts, layering them to create the rainbow effect. After aligning the thin rainbow cuts and securing them together, I sliced them into smaller pieces. These pieces were then arranged onto the pattern paper layer frame, ensuring the ends met in the center behind the clover.

Crafting the Clover:

For the clover, I cut out four medium scalloped hearts from the Lace Heart Layering Frames Dies, scored them down the center, and glued only the left side of each heart. This technique gave the clover dimension while still allowing it to fold flat inside an envelope. I initially hadn't planned on adding the pattern paper heart layer, but in the end, I am glad I did because I had to cover up the mess I had made underneath. I tried adding white gel pen details and I also tried some ink blending to give the plain green petals life, but it looked so terrible. Although I encountered some challenges with the design, adding the pattern paper heart layer helped enhance the overall look.

Finishing Touches:

To complete the card, I stamped out the sentiment using Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink, then heat set it with white embossing powder. I then used a banner die from the Mini Messages Dies to cut out the sentiment and then glued it in place. 
For one final touch of sparkle, I added a green gem to the center of the clover from the Simply Spring Gem Stickers

80s Inspired Birthday Card | Ralph Tyndall Designs + Hero Arts

80s Inspired Birthday Card, Ralph Tyndall Designs, Hero Arts, Ink Blending, Distress Oxide blending, Composition Notebook, how to, hand made card, Stamps, stamping, die cutting, card making, ilovedoingallthingscrafty,

Hello, and happy Monday!


Today I am sharing another card featuring designs from Ralph Tyndall for Hero Arts. If you missed my last card featuring his release make sure you check this out 👉HERE. It is pretty awesome if I do say so myself and if you are a Swiftie you will definitely want to take a peak 😆 So let's move on to this 80s-inspired birthday card, which by the way, was also kinda Taylor Swift inspired too! Can you see it?


CARD RECIPE

Background - HA + RT Composition Notebook Pattern Bold Prints

Rub On Images - HA + RT Notebook Messages Hero Transfers 

                            HA + RT Notebook Icons Hero Transfers

Inside Sentiment - HA + RT Essential Messages Stamp & Cut XL

Black ink -  VersaFine ONYX BLACK Ink

Embossing powder - Detail Black Embossing Powder

Blending brushes - HA Ink Blending Brushes

Gems - HUGS AND KISSES Gem Stickers

Oxide Inks - Squeezed LemonadePicked Raspberry, Salty Ocean

Glossed areas - glossy accents


Note: If you missed out on these supplies from Hero Arts, try  👉Scrapbook.com or Simon Says Stamp


To begin, I stamped out the background using VersaFine ONYX BLACK Ink and then I heat set it using Detail Black Embossing Powder. Next, I added color to the background using 3 colors of Oxide Inks to blend out a rainbow of colors. Once I was done blending, I used a paper towel to rub off the ink left on top of the embossed areas. I then trimmed the panel and glued it to an A2-size card base.

Next, I cut out all the rub-on images I wanted to use from both the HA + RT Notebook Messages Hero Transfers and HA + RT Notebook Icons Hero Transfers. I then rubbed them all onto a white piece of cardstock and cut them out. I left a white border around them all except the Hello.

I then figured out my layout and added the images to the card front, using foam behind some for added dimension. I also added rainbow-colored gems to the blended areas and finished some of the images by adding shine using glossy accents.

To the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the HA + RT Essential Messages Stamp & Cut XL.  Above it, I added a couple more transfer messages.

Butterfly Rainbow Shaker Card | Picket Fence Studios

Butterflies, Rainbow, Shaker, Picket Fence Studios, how to, hand made card, Stamps, stamping, die cutting, card making, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Wreath-building butterfly wings, Atelier Inks,

Hello, my friends. Hope you are having a wonderful week.

I don't know about you but I am ready for Spring. I'm tired of the cold and can't wait for the rain, rainbows, and all the joys that Spring brings. Just take a look at the colorful butterfly card I'm sharing today—it says it all!

CARD RECIPE

Butterflies - Wreath-building butterfly wings

Frame - A2 rectangles for card layering set

DIY Shaker Pocket - Shaker Sheets - Picket Fence Studios

Shaker bits - Sequin Mix - Iridescent Moonshine

Sentiment - Wreath-building butterfly wings

Black Ink - Black Hybrid Ink Pad


To start, I trimmed the shaker panel using one of the frames from the A2 rectangles for card layering set. Then to ensure that there would be absolutely no movement when stamping, I inserted the Paper Inking Palette - 5x6 into my Misti. For it to fit nicely, I did trim off a little edge around the palette. I then added the panel to the ink palette, it should stick nicely to the palette without the use of magnets or tape. Next, I used a circle die to plan out the butterfly ring. I placed all of the butterfly stamps on the top half of the circle die to form an semi-circle, I then picked up the stamps with the lid of the Misti and removed the die in preparation for stamping.


Butterflies, Rainbow, Shaker, Picket Fence Studios, how to, hand made card, Stamps, stamping, die cutting, card making, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Wreath-building butterfly wings, Atelier Inks,

Using the Pint-sized Paper Pouncers I began transferring the ink to each butterfly by pouncing ink onto the stamps creating gradient colors of the rainbow, and stamping the images one at a time. Wiping the ink off if necessary from the stamps if I didn't want the colors to blend. Once I was done stamping the top semi-circle, I cleaned off all the stamps and rotated the panel to continue stamping the rest of the rainbow circle.

Now that the rainbow butterflies were complete, I then stamped out the sentiment using Black Hybrid Ink Pad. I then created a shaker pocket using the Shaker Sheets that I wrapped around the panel. Before securing the last flap I added the Iridescent Moonshine Sequin Mix. To the back of the panel, I added a foam backing adhesive. Finally, I glued the shaker panel to a card base that I had blended out rainbow ink to the edges.

Make sure to check out my Instagram as I will be sharing a Reel there on how this came together. If you are like me, it is much easier to see how this came together. I hope this colorful card brought some joy to your winter day.
