Christmas Cardinal Scene Pop-Up Frame Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my friends, and happy Monday. To all my American friends, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. I am thankful for YOU! 

Today I have a special card inspired by the amazing Jennifer McGuire. She shared this Pop-Up Frame technique a few months ago and I thought it was brilliant and had to give it a try with the gorgeous Make It Merry Release from Honey Bee Stamps.

CARD RECIPE

• To begin I die-cut all the pieces for the Layering Bells Dies, Lovely Layers Winter Birds and the Lovely Layers Winter Greenery and pieced them together.
• Next, I created the frame for the top of the Pop-Up using the Layering Vintage Labels A2 Frame Dies.
• I then glued the scene together onto the frame.
• Embellish using a white gel pen and add Prisma glitter to the foliage for your snow.

• To create the pop-up, I cut 2 pieces of paper that measured 5.5x1 inches and scored them at every 1/4 inch. Then accordion fold each piece and glue them to the sides of the back of the frame. These will create the springs for the pop-up card.
• For the background, I used the Kaleidoscope 3D Embossing Folder and then added some splatters using the Bee Shimmery Liquid. 

• Glue the springs onto the background, and once dry add the background to a card base.
• Stamp the greeting from the Home for the Holidays set in white ink and heat set it.
• Pop it onto the card front.

• To embellish the card further, I added True Pearl Stickers and Make it Merry Gems.
• To the cardinal's beak, bell, and berries I added glossy accents.

The cool thing about these pop-ups is that they do press down nicely and can be mailed. This one is a bit bulky so I am sure it will require extra postage. 

I hope you were inspired by my Christmas Cardinal Scene Pop-Up Frame Card. Thank you to my uber-talented friend Jennifer McGuire for this inspiration. I am sure I will be making more of these pop-ups in the future!

Thanks for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Lovely Layers Peony Miss You Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, again my crafty friends,

This has been a busy week for me both personally and crafty related. I hope you aren't tired of all the posts, but I promise it is the last blog post for this week... Monday we shall start a new week, lol!

Today's beauty is part of Honey Bee Stamps Birthday Bliss Release Instagram Hop. So if you would like to take part, hop along for a chance at winning one of two $25 Gift Cards to the Honey Bee Stamps Shop. Click 👉HERE to join the hop.

CARD RECIPE

This card started by die-cutting all the pieces for the new Lovely Layers: Peony using white cardstock. I then added colors to the layers by Inkblending different shades of purple distress Oxide inks, starting from the darkest color to the lightest. See links below. Once the ink blending was done, I then pieced it together using Foam Dots.

The Peony was then glued onto a background I created by using the Spring Leaves A2 Pierced Cover Plate then die cut the scallop border using one of the Scalloped A7 Frame Dies.

For the sentiment, I actually cheated as I had previously foiled a bunch of sentiments from a previous project. The sentiment was foiled in gold and comes from the Small Card Hot Foil Plates. I added the scalloped edge to the strip by using the same Scalloped A7 Frame Die.

For a touch of bling, I used the new Aurora Borealis Gem Stickers. I then added foam dots to the pierced panel and glued them to an Ivory 5X7 Card base.

I hope you love this card as much as I do. I will be away most of the weekend from social media as I have to attend 3 Communions, 2 Confirmations, and a Celebration of Life, (all of which I am a part of, Lord help me! Hopefully, everything runs smoothly).

Thank You Berry Much Punny Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Happy Monday Friends!

It's been a while since I made a Punny Card, so I thought I would have fun with the new Lovely Layers Strawberries from the Happy Hearts release from Honey Bee Stamps. You can never have enough thank you cards especially when they are this cute!

CARD RECIPE

• Die cut all the strawberries, stems and flower dies from the Lovely Layers Strawberries set.
• Add color to them. I used Altelier inks and ink-blended each piece.
• To make the seeds pop, I used a white gel pen and added ink to each groove of the strawberries.
• Assemble and glue the strawberries and flowers and set them aside.

• For the back panel, I die-cut a red piece of cardstock using a frame from the Scallop A2 Frame Dies.
• I then added the embossed white layer that was done using the Spring Medley 3D Embossing Folder.
• For the sentiment, I die cut the letters to spell Berry from the Tailgate Alphabet Dies 3 times. Stacked and glued them together to create dimension.
• I then, stamped and heat embossed in white the Thank you from the Rooting For You and the much from the Love Love Love Stamp set then die cut them with their coordinating dies. For the "much" one, I snipped off part of the sentiment as I only wanted the word much.
• Next, I added foam dots to each of the flowers and strawberries and added them to the card panel.
• And, because I always like to add a little bling, I added glue to the bottom of the berry letters and then sprinkled on some chunky sparkle glitter.

I hope this Punny Thank You, Berry Much Card, inspired you to use your Lovely Layer Strawberries creatively. 

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