Honey Bee Stamps Bee Bold Honey Release: Day One - Hi Honey Foxy Beeday Card

Hello my Friends!

Hope you are all doing well, I'm currently on vacation. I'm visiting family and vacationing in Portugal. So my blog posts for a little while will be short and sweet as my internet is very limited. Stay tuned though, cause this week is preview week for Honey Bee Stamps Bee Bold release and I made a ton of cards using lots of new products to inspire you.

So here is cute Foxy Beeday a card I made.

I used the new A7 Scallop Rectangle dies on this card. 

The Hi Honey Sentiment Dies are also new for this release as well as the coordinating stamp set. I thought the Hi Honey worked well with this little foxy couple.

I also stamped a few more sentiments from the Hi Honey set to finish off the inside of the card. The cute little bee comes from the Bee Hive stamp set that is also new. 

Make sure to stop by the Honey Bee Stamps Blog for more Day 1 Inspiration from the design team.

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

CZ Tabbed Sentiments Cards for Simon Says Stamp Friendly Frolic Release

Hey everyone!

Today I have a couple of cards to share with you featuring one of the new stamps set from the Simon Says Stamp Friendly Frolic Release.

For this first card, I used the CZ Design Tabbed Sentiments to create this rainbow inspired filing cabinet like card.

I didn't get the coordinating tab dies, so to create the tabs I used the smallest stitched square dies and cut them in all the colors I used and then added them to the colorful scrap pieces of cardstock that I used to create each file.

I then stamped out all the sentiments I wanted to use on white cardstock and then cut each piece down to size to fit each tab and then glued them in place.

To the inside of the card, I used the CZ Hello You Stamp set and combined the two sets to come up with the inside sentiment.

For this second card, I began by embossing the background of the card using this SSS Geometric Pattern in silver. I then die cut the center circle and used the circular opening to trace the circle out onto a piece of Neenah cardstock paper. I then stamped the succulents all around the perimeter circle and colored them in with Copic markers.

To the center, I used the CZ Tabbed Sentiments to stamp out the sentiment in the middle. 

Finished off the card by adding a couple of rings to the circular opening of the panel and then added some rainbow crystal embellishments.

Hope these cards inspired you today. Thank-you Simon Says stamp for sending me this set to play with.

Farm Animal Friendship Card

Hey friends!

Today I have a super sweet Farm Animal friendship card to share with you featuring a bunch of cute supplies from Honey Bee Stamps. 

Most of the card was created by paper piecing all the elements together and there was actually very little stamping involved. I started by cutting out the pieces for Pinky the Pig out of some very pale pink paper. I then use some grey scraps and die cut the little pieces out for the hooves. I then glued all the pieces down to a black piece of cardstock that I had trimmed to the shape of the pig. To add a bit more dimension to Pinky's face I added another layer for his nose and die cut his eyes out from black paper and glued them in place. I then added some rosy cheeks by using a detail blending tool and adding some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink. To finish him off I added some white to the center of his eyes and cheeks. I repeated a similar process for piecing together Lily the Lamb. 

To build the scene, I began by die cutting my square panel using the largest double Stitched Square Die from Bristol paper. Next, I used Broken China Distress Oxide ink to blend out the background behind the animals. I then die cut 3 strips of grass using the grass border die stacked and glued them together and then ran them through the die cutter again with the square stitched die to clean up the edges. To create the swinging fence, I used the Farm Fences die which I cut and glued two layers thick using the bottom layer of the fence posts. I then die cut extra pieces of the bottom layer to connect and extend the length of the fences.

I wanted the fence to be able to open and close on the card front, so I made sure that one of the fence posts overlapped the other. To secure the fences to the sides of the card, I die cut 2 more bottom fence dies, folded and glued a couple of the posts behind the card panel, then bent the rest of the posts to the front of the card. Before doing that, I did cut very thin strips of paper to reinforce the tiny pieces of the fence along the bend. Once the fences were glued in place I added the top layer of the farm fence dies and distressed them a little with some ink. To create the closure, I just punched a hole through the fence post that overlaps the bottom fence and added a brad. By turning the head of the brad you can then open or close the fence as the leg catches on the other side of the fence to hold it in place.

Before gluing Pinky and Lily in place I stamped out the sentiment by masking half of the Small Gang Stamp on the top right of the card and then stamping the rest of the greeting on the inside of the card. I used Broken China Distress Oxide to stamp out the sentiment and heat set it with a clear embossing powder.

Hope this cute card inspired you today! I LOVE how this card turned out and had so much fun paper piecing these cuties together. For more inspiration using Honey Bee Stamps products check out the HB Blog.
