Key To My Heart Card | Hero Arts | IG Hop

Hello Friends, hope you had a wonderful crafty weekend!

Today's card is part of the Hero Arts Global team, Instagram Hop. If you would like to join the short hop click HERE to get started and you could win one of 3 coordinating stamp and die sets that I will be giving away! (More details over on Instagram.)

So let me tell you how this pretty came together!

CARD RECIPE

To begin, I used the Chain Linked Fancy Die to die cut the front of the card base, this creates the see-through part of the window on the front panel. I then opened up the card base and glued a piece of acetate to cover up the opening. To finish off the inside of the card I die cut another white card panel using the Chain Linked Fancy Die and then lined it up with the opening and then glued it in place, sandwiching the acetate piece in between.

Next, I die cut the Chain Linked Fancy Die again this time using silver cardstock, and glued it to the acetate front. I then attached two locks to the fence that were die-cut from the Locks Fancy Dies.

To create these sparkly no line colored Peonies, I first stamped out the Peonies Bunch using Contour Ink. (Leave the stamp in the Misti as you will need it for another step later on). I then blended out the fowers using the Layering Peonies Bunch Stencil and a rainbow of Reactive Ink cubes. 

Next, I placed the image back in the Misti and used a powder bag to ensure the ink was dry, and then re-stamped the image using the Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. To make the stamped sparkle embossing stick, I first applied a Sticky Embossing Powder and heat set it, then added the sparkle powder. I then die-cut the flowers using the coordinating dies for the Peonies Bunch and added them to the bottom of the card front, trimming off pieces that hung over the card base.

For the sentiment on the inside, I used Intens-ified Black Ink Pad to add one of the sentiments from the Key to My Heart stamp set.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... I hope you can join me over on Instagram for this fun hop.

Happy Crafting dear friends!

Ilda 😊

Simple Father's Day Cards Featuring Background Stencils | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Friends and Happy first day of June!

Today I am back to share with you 3 fairly simple to make Father's Day Cards featuring stencils from the latest release.

CARD DETAILS

This first card is for the Sporty Dad in your life. As you can see it is super clean and simple. I began with blending a very faint blue circle on the top half of the card panel using the new CIRCLE SPOTLIGHT STENCIL. I then stamped out the sentiments from the FATHER'S DAY stamp set centered inside the blended area.

Next, I stamped out the images from HOPE THE HEDGEHOG onto Neenah 110lbs cardstock and then colored them all in using Copic markers, then die cut the pieces with their coordinating HOPE THE HEDGEHOG DIES.

I then popped up each image using foam tape and added them along the edge of the circle to form somewhat of a wreath. To finish off the design, I added a little heart that comes from the BEE MINE - FREE DIE set.

As an additional touch, I always like to add some sparkle and shine using Liquid Pixie Dust and Glossy Accents on certain areas of the card.

This next card is for the Dad that is out of this world awesome, and could also be used for a birthday or any occasion to celebrate dad.

I started off this card by trimming a piece of the galaxy like paper from the LOG CABIN Paper Pad to an A2 size panel. Next, I used the TWINKLE, TWINKLE STENCIL over it to apply a layer of Transfer Gel Duo from Thermoweb. Once the gel was dry I pressed into it a piece of  Rainbow Deco Foil to add a rainbow of stars in the galaxy. Love how this method requires no heat for the foil to transfer! I then blended the edges of the paper with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink.

For the Dad, I used both the BEE BOLD ALPHABET CUTS, and the BEE BOLD LOWERCASE DIES. I cut out 2 layers using black cardstock and then added a top white layer to create a shadow appearance.

For the You are out of this world, I stamped out the sentiment onto black cardstock and then heat set it using a white emb. pwd. using stamps from the STELLAR SENTIMENTS set and then die cut them with the coordinating BEE BOLD LOWERCASE DIES (note - the You are was fussy cut).

To finish this card like the previous one I added a few hearts from the BEE MINE - FREE DIE and then added Liquid Pixie Dust and Glossy Accents.

This final card is for the Manly Man Dad, or the Canadian Dad, LOL!

I began this card by blending out a black ink onto a piece of red cardstock using the BUFFALO PLAID BUILDER STENCILS. I love how easy this background was to do.

The next thing I did was die cut some rings to frame my sentiment using the CIRCLE THIN FRAMES and glued them to a piece of white cardstock that I trimmed to fit under the circle area. I only used 2 circles and saved the rest for later use.

Using the BEST PARENTS DIES, I die cut a white shadow layer and 3 black layers for the Father's sentiment that I stacked and glued together and popped it up with foam tape onto the circle frame I had created.

I then stamped out the Happy Day on to the panel using stamps from the BEST PARENTS set. Once again I finished the card with the same hearts from the BEE MINE - FREE DIE and then added Liquid Pixie Dust and Glossy Accents.

I hope this gave you some ideas on how to create some simple Father's Day Cards. Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to spoil all the Dad's in your life this Father's Day.

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
