Love Birds Valentines Card | Honey Bee Stamps | Vintage Love Sneak Peeks

Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends and welcome to Day 1 Sneak Peeks for the Honey Bee Stamps Vintage Love Release. The Vintage Love Release will go live on 1/31 after the Live Release Party on YouTube at 8 pm EST. So if you are wondering why the links do not work it is because they have not gone live yet!

For this card, I am featuring a couple of new Lovely Layer Dies. Lovely Layers: Birdcage Dies and the Lovely Layers: Love Birds Dies. I am also using a new By Your Side Sentiment Stamp and Die set. 

How pretty is the pattern paper I used? This one comes from the new Textiles and Texture Vintage Paper Pad. I also ended up using a frame that is actually a Day 2 Sneak Peak, shhhhh don't say anything, lol! This frame set is gorgeous, and it is the new Lace Heart Layering Frames Dies.

If you want to see this card come together, make sure you check out my Instagram Reel coming later today! Thank you for stopping by and I will see you back here tomorrow for day 2 sneak peeks... Happy Crafting!

Snowflake Spinner Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I have an interactive card to share with you. It's been quite a while since I made a spinner card and thought the new Lovely Layers Large Snowflakes would be perfect for this type of card. You will have to check it out in motion on my Instagram, it is so pretty in action.

CARD RECIPE

Snowflakes - 2 of each size dies - Lovely Layers Large Snowflakes

Circle - Window and frame - Sweet Stacks: Circles Dies

Sentiment - Mini Messages: Holiday Stamps

Paper - Holiday Wishes Paper Pad

Ink - Bee Creative Intense Black Ink Pad

Gems - Holiday Wishes Gem Stickers

Die cut the snowflakes. Assemble the 3 sizes together to create the front snowflake. To the back of the snowflake secure a clear thread along its center and sandwich the remaining 3 snowflakes on top. Set aside to create the window for the spinner.

Layer the pattern paper over the card base front and use the smaller circle to die cut through both layers. This will make the front window match the card base front perfectly.  Set the pattern piece aside.

Find the center of the circle that is now die-cut from the card front. Affix the clear thread to the top and bottom of the card base. To make this easier I used low tack tape to stretch out the thread first and then added a little drop of glue to the tread followed by tape to each end. For extra securement, I then pulled the thread to another area of the card base and secured that end with another piece of tape, I then snipped off any excess thread. 

Place the pattern paper piece over the card front to cover up all the thread and tape and secure everything in place. Finish the window by adding a frame to the circle. I used two stacking circle dies.

Stamp out the sentiment and finish the card with some gems to match. Behold, your spinner masterpiece is now complete!

With a flick of the hand, watch the magic unfold. Twirl the snowflake around and then lay the card flat and insert it into your envelope. Once the recipient removes it from the envelope and opens it up to read it will surprise them with a spin.

Hope you enjoyed today's handmade spinner card. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Holiday Wishes Inspiration Week Day 5 | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and Happy Thursday! 

If you have been following my blog post all week, Thank you! If not make sure to look back through all the previous posts that I have shared for more inspiration featuring the Holiday Wishes Release from Honey Bee Stamps.

I am a huge fan of the Lovely Layers Collection and this new Lovely Layers Amaryllis is absolutely gorgeous! I loved it so much that I needed a larger card base to show them off. Normally I use an A2 card size this one is an A7 size (5x7).

CARD RECIPE

Flowers - Lovely Layers Amaryllis

Frame / Holly - Decorative Star Layering Frames Dies

Sentiment - Mini Messages: Holiday Stamps

Paper -  Holiday Wishes Paper Pad

Pearls - Holiday Wishes Pearls

Black Ink - Bee Creative Intense Black Ink Pad

Besides the sentiment, the entire card is paper pieced together from all the die cuts. If you love die-cutting these Lovely Layers Sets are amazing. To add some shadow and detailing I used copic markers. I had also used gel pen highlights on the flowers but they looked silly,  so I colored over them with a matching color, which still gives the illusion of a highlight. To add dimension, foam is your friend! Obviously, when you are using this much foam to add dimension it becomes difficult to mail. This card would definitely be one I hand-delivered.

I love how this card turned out and hope you did too! Thank you for stopping by and until tomorrow... Happy Crafting!

Hello Autumn Blessings Slimline Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, dear friends! 👋

It's astonishing how fast September has arrived! Tomorrow, my kids will resume their school routine, and in the blink of an eye, Autumn will grace us with its presence. Here in western Canada, we anticipate its early arrival, as nature is already beginning to paint our surroundings with vibrant it's colors.

Today's card was all things fall-inspired, featuring some new goodies from the Heartfelt Harvest Release and some timeless favorites from Honey Bee Stamps.

CARD RECIPE

Apple Barrel - Die cut all the pieces for the Lovely Layers: Apple Barrel Dies. I added some distress oxide ink to the edges and gel pen details and then pieced it together. 

Sunflower  - Die cut the pieces for Lovely Layers: Sunflower Dies. Add ink to the start of the petals near the center. I used a dark brown Copic marker to darken the center. Glue the layers together and finish the center with the copper gems from the Homestead Harvest Gems. To create a stem I just cut a thin piece of the same cardstock color I used for the leaves. 

Sentiment - Comes from the Slimline Sentiments: Eyelet Dies. Cut out the hello 3 times, stack and glue them together. To make it glossy, I added Bee Creative Watermark Ink to ink the top and then used clear embossing powder to melt onto it. 

Background - The Slimline frame I used comes from the Slimline Sentiments: Stitched Dies, to the panel I ink blended Broken China Distress Oxide Ink. I then used the fence, grass, and cloud dies from the Horizon Slimline Borders to finish the background elements.

On the inside, I combined a couple of sentiments from the Heartfelt Hello Stamps, using Intense Black Ink and some creative masking. 

I'm not too upset Fall is just around the corner as I do love the Pumpkin Spice Lattes, the freshly baked apple pies, and the beautiful colors of the Fall. I hope this Hello Autumn Blessings Slimline Card also gets you a little excited about it too.

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