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!

Water Lily Sympathy Card | Adventure Awaits Release | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, dear friends!

Today, I want to share a stunning sympathy card that features the exquisite Lovely Layers Water Lily from the Adventure Awaits Release by Honey Bee Stamps.

CARD RECIPE

To start, I began by crafting the transparent section of the card using vellum and applying glimmer paste through the Fish Net Stencil. While that dried, I focused on creating the other elements of the card.

For the Water Lily, I die-cut the pieces from white card stock and added color through ink blending. Then, I assembled the lily using foam to achieve a dimensional effect. To enhance the flower's center, I applied glue and sprinkled chunky glitter for a touch of sparkle. Additionally, I used a green Copic marker to create shadows and add detail to the lily pad.

 

To create an opaque window, I utilized the Sweet Stacks Ovals to die-cut a shimmery vellum background from the panel I had created earlier. Next, I die-cut a smaller oval on the front of the card base. By using both sizes of the oval dies, I created a frame and adhered it first to the vellum layer and then attached it to the card's front.

For the sentiments I used the "With Our Love" plate from the Foil Script: Wishes Hot Foil Plate/Dies done in Sky Bright Glimmer Foil and add the "With Sympathy" sentiment from the Mini Messages Stamps that I stamped onto a Mini Messages Dies Banner die.

I hope this card provides you with inspiration, and I truly adore how the light shines through when it's displayed. 

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