Pampas Grass Thinking of You Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends, 

I am back again today as Honey Bee Stamps is celebrating the Spooktacular Release with an Instagram Hop. So if you want to qualify for a chance at winning one of two $50 Gift cards to their shop, click👉 HERE to join in on the fun. 

For my card, I wanted to play around with the new Lovely Layers Fall Foliage Dies. At first, I was going to use various dies and then I thought it would be fun just to use the Pampas and create an arrangement as they are so popular these days. 

CARD RECIPE

• Die cut 5 pieces using the pampas grass die from the Lovely Layers Fall Foliage Dies.
• Using the detail blender brushes, I added a touch of Tattered Rose (D. O.) ink to the edges.
• Next, die-cut the pieces from the Rattan Basket Dies.
• Ink blend the edges using Antique Linen (D.O.) ink.
• Add foam to the edges of the basket and piece it together, leaving the center open to build and glue the arrangement.
• On black cardstock, heat foil the sentiment from the Fall Foliage Foil Plate using Blush Foil and the Hot Foil Machine. 
• Use the coordinating die from the Fall Foliage Frame Dies to die cut the foiled sentiment. 
• Use Black foam dots to pop up the sentiments.
• Glue the elements to the front of the card. On the card base, I added a piece of pattern paper from the Grain and Grunge Paper Pad that I had trimmed first.
• Finish the front with some blush-colored gems from the Grain Grunge Gems Sticker pack.

• On the inside of the card, I finished this friendship card with a sentiment from the Inside Sentiments Comfort Stamp set.
• To tie this all together I used a coordinating envelope and the new Maple Wax Leaf Stamper and Autumn Wax Melts.

I hope this Pampas Grass Thinking of You Card design inspired you, and I hope to see you over on my Instagram!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Hopping and good luck in the draw!

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!

Vintage Holiday Release Day 2 Sneak Peeks | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello and welcome back to Day 2 of the Vintage Holiday Release for Honey Bee Stamps.

My card today features the gorgeous new Lovely Layers: Anemone Dies. This is a larger card (A7), simply because I wanted to use all of these flowers together. They would have fit onto an A2 card base but it would have been too small for the sentiment I wanted to use.

Make sure you stop by the Honey Bee Stamps Blog for more inspiration from the Design Team featuring more day 2 product reveals! Please note that ★ links will not be active until the Release goes live on October 14th, 2021 @9pm CST.

CARD RECIPE

Here is a breakdown of what I used to make this pretty wintery card.

Stamps: 

• Bitty Buzzwords: Seasons

Dies:

• ★Lovely Layers: Anemones Dies

• Bitty Buzzwords: Seasons Dies

• Scallop A7 Card Frames

• Sentiment Banner Dies

Paper: 

• Neenah Solar White 110lbs

• Green and Black Heavyweight Cardstock

Stencil:

• ★Crystal Kaleidoscope Stencil

Paste:

• Pure Platinum Embellishment Mousse

Ink:

• Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink

• Intense Black Ink 

• Juicy Ink

Emb. Powder:

• Black As Night Emb Pwd.

Die Cut Machine:

• Gemini Junior SSS | SBC

Adhesives:

• Bee Creative Glue

Embellishments:

• Bubble Bath Mini Domes 
• Sparkle Glitter
• Exotic Onyx Pearls

Other Tools:

• Micron Pens
• Media Spatulas
• Detail Blender Brushes
• Embellishment Wand

Once my Anemone flowers were all die-cut and assembled, I then just had to figure out the background design. I  used the ★Crystal Kaleidoscope Stencil to apply this silver paste to the Scallop A7 Card Frame layer. 

To make these centers pop, I used foam tape in between each layer and added glue to the outside edge of the center layers which were then dipped in sparkle glitter. Before attaching the centers to the flowers, I drew some black lines on the base of the petals. To the end of the lines, I added the cutest little domes to make it look like Stamen. 

Here's a close-up. Check out the dimension. Also, it is difficult to see from the photos but I did blend Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink to the white centers of the flowers to give some extra depth and dimension.

I hope you were inspired by this Hello Winter Anenomes Card. If you have been following me you will know that I love all the Lovely Layer Flowers from Honey Bee and this Anemone did not disappoint. 

Thank you for stopping by and I will see you back here tomorrow for day 3 sneak peeks... Happy Crafting!
