Puppy Kisses & Lucky Wishes | A St. Paddy’s Inspired Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! What better way to celebrate than with a heartfelt, handmade card? This glittery green beauty is full of charm, featuring a lucky pup who’s clearly been having fun in the fresh-cut grass! With layered hearts, sparkly sentiments, and clover accents, this card is the perfect way to tell someone just how lucky you are to have them in your life.

CARD RECIPE

Scattered Hearts Stencil

Lucky to Have You Honey Cuts

Tail Waggers Rubber Stamp Set

Lace Heart Layering Frames Honey Cuts

Bold Background: Vines of Love Honey Cuts

Real Rainbow Sticker Set (Green Gems)
Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink
Slime Green Paper Glaze
Glitter paper (ink-blended to match with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink)

Vellum
Water-reactive ink
Waterbrush

Background

I started with a vibrant background using the Scattered Hearts Stencil. The first layer was blended with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink, and for extra shimmer and texture, I added a second layer using Slime Green Paper Glaze.

Sentiment

The sentiment, Lucky to Have You Honey Cuts, was die-cut from glitter paper that I ink-blended to match the background using Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink. This ensured a cohesive look while adding shimmer to the design. To make the sentiment stand out, I placed it on a soft vellum shadow, which helps it pop against the busy background without overwhelming the design.

Focal Image

The adorable pup comes from the Tail Waggers Rubber Stamp Set, stamped using water-reactive ink and then watercolored. To enhance the St. Paddy’s theme, I added green hues to the pup’s paws, legs, and face to mimic the look of playing in fresh-cut grass. I initially used the Tail Wagger Honey Cuts die but opted for a hand-fussy cut look without the white border.

Embellishments

The hearts framing the pup are from the Lace Heart Layering Frames Honey Cuts Set, cut from pink and green cardstock for a layered effect. For a fun shamrock detail, I arranged tiny hearts from the Bold Background: Vines of Love Honey Cuts into clover shapes. To finish, I added some sparkle using green gems from the Real Rainbow Sticker Set.

This card was so fun to put together, and I love how it captures the playful spirit of both St. Patrick’s Day and our four-legged friends. Let me know what you think in the comments, and don’t forget to share your own St. Paddy’s inspired creations!

Interactive Roulette Wheel Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a super fun interactive roulette wheel card that’s perfect for birthdays or good luck wishes. The best part? The tiny roulette ball spins inside the window—adding a touch of Vegas-style excitement! 🎲💰 Want to watch this magical card come to life? Click HERE for my latest Instagram Reel!

CARD RECIPE

Lovely Layers: Roll The Dice - Honey Cuts - Roulette Wheel

Aces 3D Embossing Folder - Background Panel

So Lucky Stamp Set - Sentiment

So Lucky - Honey Cuts -  Sentiment Die

Sweet Stack Circle Dies - Window opening and stacked rings for Roulette Wheel

Cool Pearls Stickers - Roulette Ball

Inside: Birthday Sentiments Stamps - Inside greetings

Bee Creative Intense Black Ink - Ink

Other Supplies:

Gold Gel Pen

Foam Tape/Sheet

Acetate

Glue

Create the Background

• Use a blank card panel and place it over the card base front.
• Find a circle die larger than the Roulette Wheel and die-cut through both the front panel and the top layer of the card base to create a window.
• Emboss the top panel using the Aces 3D Embossing Folder for a fun, casino-inspired texture.
• Glue the embossed layer to the card base. This ensures that the opening aligns perfectly.

Assemble the Roulette Wheel

• Die-cut all the layers of the Lovely Layers: Roll The Dice - Roulette Wheel using various colors of cardstock.
• Add gold gel pen details to give it a realistic metallic look.
• Stack and glue the layers together.

Make It Interactive

Create the Stacked Rings

• Use the Sweet Stack Circle Dies to cut rings of white cardstock and one gold ring for the top layer. I cut 6 and then realized they were not enough to allow the ball to spin freely. I then used a craft foam sheet to create another ring for the deep frame.
• Adhere a piece of acetate to the opening to create a see-through interactive space.
• Add the gold ring on top to finish the look.

Create the Roulette Ball

• Take two white, Cool Pearls Stickers, remove their adhesive, and glue them together to make a round pearl. (The smaller the pearls the less height you will require for the frame.)
• Before sealing, place the pearl ball inside the roulette wheel and test the movement. This ensures the ball rolls properly inside the window.
• Once the ball spins freely, glue the entire assembled roulette wheel onto the opening of the front panel of the card.

Add the Sentiments

• On the front, I stamped and die cut the  "You’re my good luck charm!" from the So Lucky Set.
• On the inside of the card, Stamp "Happy Birthday" above the Roulette Wheel.
• And for some fun, I stamped the inside, using the Inside: Birthday Sentiments Stamps.

This interactive roulette wheel card is a guaranteed winner! Whether you're crafting for a birthday or sending some lucky vibes, the spinning pearl ball makes this card extra special. Try it out, and let me know what you think!

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

Mini Holiday Floral Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, crafty friends! Today, I'm sharing a festive shaker card I created for Honey Bee Stamps using mostly new goodies from the Cozy Christmas Release. This project combines some lovely floral layers with a cozy, textured background, perfect for sending "Happy Holidays" wishes. Let’s dive into the details of how I brought this card to life!

CARD RECIPE

Layering Vintage Labels Honey Cuts – Frame for the shaker window

Rustic Brick Wall 3D Embossing Folder – Embossed background

Gingerbread Village Paper Pad – Background patterned paper

Cello Sheets – To create the shaker window

Great Greetings: Holiday Honey Cuts – Sentiment

Lovely Layers: Mini Holiday Florals Honey Cuts – Floral elements

Bee Creative Clear Embossing Ink & Clear Embossing Powder – For the sentiment's glossy finish

Gingerbread Pearl Stickers – As embellishments

Prisma Glitter – Added sparkle to the florals

Iridescent Chunky Confetti – For the shaker filler (discontinued product, link to similar product)

Copic Pigment - White Splatter

Lovely Layered Florals

For a beautiful floral touch, I used the Lovely Layers: Mini Holiday Florals Honey Cuts. After die-cutting, I ink-blended each piece and added extra depth with Copic markers, and then I splattered white ink to enhance the wintry feel. Once assembled, I set the floral elements aside to work on the shaker frame.

Creating the Shaker Front

To create the front of the shaker, I die-cut the largest frame from the Layering Vintage Labels Honey Cuts out of white cardstock. Next, I ran it through the Rustic Brick Wall 3D Embossing Folder to add cozy brick detailing to the card front. Then I set this piece aside while I prepared the background.

Building the Background

For warmth and a rustic touch, I selected a charming gingham pattern from the Gingerbread Village Paper Pad for the background. I trimmed the paper slightly larger than the window opening, added the shaker bits in the center, and adhered a cello sheet over the area using liquid glue along the perimeter. Since these shaker bits add minimal bulk, foam tape wasn’t necessary. Finally, I attached this piece behind the shaker window, creating a charming holiday scene, and adhered it to the card base.

Adding the Florals

With the shaker component in place, I arranged the floral elements from the previous steps around the card. I used foam adhesive to elevate some of the pieces, giving the design depth and dimension.

Sentiment

For the "Happy Holidays" sentiment, I used the Great Greetings: Holiday Honey Cuts. To give the letters a glossy, dimensional look, I applied Bee Creative Clear Embossing Ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. This subtle shine makes the sentiment pop against the background, adding thickness and rigidity to the die cuts.

Final Touches
For the finishing touches, I applied Prisma Glitter to parts of the florals, adding a festive sparkle. I also used Gingerbread Pearl Stickers as embellishments to enhance the holiday feel. These small details bring the card to life, making it perfect for spreading holiday cheer!

Thank you for stopping by! I hope this card inspires you to play with textures and layers for your holiday projects. For those of you who like watching my Reels, check out my Instagram for today's video. And to all my fellow Canadian Friends, Happy Remembrance Day💝

Until next time, Happy crafting!

Vellum Embossed Birthday Cards Featuring Studio Katia's Mandala Flower

Hello my friends!

It's been a few weeks since my last post. Haven't had enough time to play recently... felt like I was going through a craft withdrawal, so I had to get my fix!

Today I have a few cards to share with you that feature Studio Katia's Mandala Stamp that I recently purchased. In my house I feel like I never have enough Birthday Cards especially for adults... so that's what I was going for. I think these could of easily have been made into Wedding Cards as well.

Love the simplicity and elegance to them. 

I paired them with the Sending and Wishing dies from SSS and well as the You Matter stamp set.

Not sure which one I like the most 😍

On the inside of the cards I stamped them both with the Happy Birthday sentiment from the SSS Big Scripty Greetings set.

For those of you interested in the process video and how I made these cards I'd love for you follow the link below!

Hope I have inspired you a little today and maybe you'll make your Vellum Embossed Cards.

Thanks for stopping by!
