Good Luck Cards | Honey Bee Stamps - Perfect Match Release

A handmade card featuring pink ombre glitter letters spelling 'good luck' on a pink-toned embossed background with a vellum frame. A red gem-encrusted heart is at the center of the card, accented by additional small red gems for embellishment. The design is set against a backdrop of playing card elements and soft pink tones

Today, I am thrilled to share two "Good Luck" cards I created as part of the Perfect Match Release Instagram Hop for Honey Bee Stamps! These cards use the same basic techniques but differ slightly in their finishing details, making them unique and fun in their own ways. Don’t forget to head over to my πŸ‘‰Instagram to enter the giveaway for a chance to win amazing prizes! TWO $50 Gift Cards (one each) will be given to the to the lucky winners!


Shared Techniques:
  • Embossed Backgrounds: Both cards feature backgrounds created using the Aces - 3D Embossing Folder. A TIP to prevent tears in the paper is to lightly mist the cardstock with water before running it through your die-cut machine.
  • Die-Cut Letters: The "good luck" sentiment was created using the BEE Playful Lowercase Alphabet Honey Cuts. TIP - For perfect letter alignment, use a straight edge or gridlines to align them, pick up the letters with low-tack tape, and adhere them by flipping the tape like a hinge to secure the letters in place.
  • Vellum Layers: Both cards include vellum frames to soften the backgrounds and create dimension. I used two different frame die sets for added variety.

Card 1: Pink Ombre Letters
  • Background: The embossed areas were enhanced by swiping a black ink pad across the raised portions for added depth.
  • Sentiment: I die-cut the letters from white glitter cardstock and ink-blended a soft pink ombre effect onto them.
  • Frame: The vellum background was die-cut using the Lovely Layers: Party Frame.
  • Embellishments: The central heart was bedazzled with red gems from the Real Rainbow Gem Stickers pack, and a few extra gems were added around the card for sparkle.

Tips and Tricks
  • Prevent Tearing: Always mist your cardstock lightly before embossing with a 3D folder.
  • Perfect Letter Alignment: Use gridlines or a straight edge to align your letters, then use low-tack tape to lift and position them easily.
  • Blending Gitter Cardstock: Ink blend on glitter cardstock to create custom colors to match, or create an ombre look.

Happy Birthday Balloons Vellum Shaker Card | Studio Katia

Hello, again my friends! 

I am back again today with another birthday balloon shaker card done with vellum featuring the cute Mini Balloon Dog Stamps. Make sure you are following me on Instagram as I will share a Reel on how this fun card came together.

CARD RECIPE
  • To begin, I ink-blended the balloon for the background using the Birthday Balloons Duo Stencils in rainbow colors.
  • Then I created the shaker pocket using vellum. The vellum was cut half inch larger than the panel. I then trimmed the corners, and creased the edges along the perimeter of the panels to create the flaps for the pocket. To the flaps/tabs I added a strip of Crafty Adhesive Tape and secured 3 of the 4 tabs to the panel, leaving the top open. 
  • Pour the Dots Glitter into the vellum pocket and then secure the last tab down to seal the shaker closed.

  • At this point, I had forgotten to stamp the sentiment first on the front of the vellum. Luckily the filler for the shaker was pretty flat so I was able to stamp the sentiment onto the pocket without any issues. Normally I would have done this step first before creating the pocket. The sentiment I used comes from the Mini Balloon Dog Stamps and then I heat set the black ink so it wouldn't smudge.
  • Glue the shaker panel to a card base.
  • Next, I stamped out the Mini Balloon Dog Stamps onto Bristol paper, colored them using Karin Brush Pro markers, and then die-cut them with their coordinating Mini Balloon Dog Dies.
  • Glue the balloon dogs to the front of the shaker and then draw some balloon strings. To add highlights I used a white gel pen and added a black dot to give them eyes.
  • To finish this card I used black twine to create small bows and glued them to each of the dog's necks.

Honey Bee Hexagon Shaker Christmas Card | Honey Bee Stamps


Honey Bee Hexagon Shaker Christmas Card | Honey Bee Stamps by ilovedoingallthingscrafty.com

Are you all ready for Christmas!? Can't BEE-lieve it is only a little of a week away 😬 How has this year just flown by... Haha, sorry I can't help myself with the Bee Punnies, lol! Well, today I wanted to take this opportunity as one of the Honey Bees and wish you all a very Merry and Bright Christmas as this will be my last Christmas Card for the year.

  CARD DETAILS

To begin this card, I stamped out the MERRY LIGHTS Stamp onto vellum paper and using Versafine Onyx Ink and then heat set the ink using black embossing powder. On the underside of the vellum, I used 3 Copic markers to color glow around each light. Next, I die cut the panel for the shaker portion of the card using the third largest Hexagon from the HEXAGON SOLID STACK CUTS. I then blended out the panel using 3 colors of distress oxide ink (see links below).

Now as you all know I am a little obsessed with making Frameless Shaker Cards and today I wanted to show you that it is possible to make these shakers any shape only this time I used vellum. I cut the stamped vellum piece a little larger than the hexagon panel that I had blended out. I then cut each corner off of the vellum hexagon piece and flipped back the vellum flaps to secure it to the back of the hexagon panel using Scor-tape. Before closing up the shaker pocket I filled it with BOKEH LIGHTS Confetti. To finish and embellish the shaker pocket, I added coordinating Crystal Drops to each Christmas Light bulb and set it off to dry. (If you want to learn more about making frameless shakers click HERE.)

To continue the Honey Bee theme, I stamped out the cute little bees from BEE HIVE, colored them with Copics and then cut them out with the Coordinating BEE HIVE DIES. To each little bee, I added glossy accents to the body and Liquid Pixie Dust to the wings.

To make the Card Base I die cut the largest Hexagon from the HEXAGON SOLID STACK CUTS and then created a hinge to glue the two pieces together. I also die cut a pink and yellow Hexagon in decreasing size to layer on the card front.

On the inside, I stamped out Christmas Wishes by using both the BELIEVE BUZZ WORD and the WINTER stamp sets. I then added another little bee and trail from the BEE HIVE to finish off this cute little Bee themed Christmas Shaker Card.

I hope this Honey Bee Hexagon Shaker Christmas Card has inspired you today. 

Thank you all for stopping by 😊
Until next time... Happy Crafting πŸ‘‹
