Honey Bee Stamps Brie Mine Blog Hop | Day 2

Hello Friends and welcome to Day 2 of the Honey Bee Stamps Brie Mine Blog Hop. If you have arrived from the uber talented Carly's Blog you are on the right track. I'll fill you in on where to go next at the end of this post. Today I have a couple of cards from the latest Brie Mine Release to share with you so let's get started.

CARD DETAILS

I began creating this card by picking out the patterned paper for the cupcake liners. Then using the Cupcake Builder, I die cut an assortment of different flavors using colored card stock. I then wanted to add some fruit toppings to the top of each of them so I stamped out a few cherries and strawberries from Mae the Mouse set, colored them in with Copic markers and then die cut them with their coordinating dies. Next, I pieced and glued each cupcake together and set them aside to work on the card base.

I wanted this card scene to look like the cupcakes were outside on a picnic table. So I began by cutting a strip of yellow paper about 1.5 inches by the width of the card which measures 8.5 inches. I then stamped the gingham pattern across the paper using a watermark ink and brushed over the top with perfect pearls to add a hint shine to the design. Once that was done I added the scalloped edge to the bottom of the "tablecloth" using the Background Builder Scallop Die. 

To the sky, I blended out Broken China Distress Oxide Ink just along the top edge of the card leaving white space in the center of the panel.

The sentiments I used come from the Piece of Cupcake and the Friendship stamp sets. I then just used the coordinating Friendship Dies to die cut the word Friend. The hearts die cuts also come from the from the Friendship Die set.  

To finish and embellish the card, I added glossy accents, Stickles glitter glue, foam sprinkles, clay white and pink hearts and Unicorn Rhinestones.

On the inside, I stamped a few of the sentiments from the Friendship set.

For my second card, I began with blending Distress Oxide Inks onto Bristol Paper. Once the ink was dry I stamped out the sentiment from the Friendship Stamp set in the center and heat embossed the letters in silver.

Next, I die cut the panel using the Deckle Edge Frame and then also die cut a few of the Stacking Stars around the card to frame the sentiment. I then filled any empty spaces with stamped stars, Rhinestones and a spray of white splatter drops. 

I then popped the panel using foam tape on to another piece of cardstock that I had added Glimmer Paste to just underneath where each star would be peaking through and then glued that to a back A2 landscape card base.

Punny Encouragement Card for a Cheesy Friend | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends! Today I am over on the Honey Bee Stamps Blog with this punny card featuring a few stamp sets from the latest Brie Mine Release. If you have a cheese lover in your life or you have a friend in need of a little cheering up this card idea is a cute one to try.

CARD DETAILS

To begin this card I started by stamping out Mae the Mouse holding cheese at an angle from the bottom right corner of a piece of Neenah cardstock. I then used Copic markers to color the images, also coloring in the background behind the mouse black as I wanted to make it look like it was going to be peeking out of the hole. 

For the cheese like background, I used the Polka Dot Stencils and added the cheese holes to the light yellow cardstock using Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink blending out various sized circles. I then die cut the panel using the large Double Stitched Frames Die and then used one of the Double Stitched Circle Dies to die cut the opening for the mouse. Next, I aligned the mouse with the opening of the cheese panel and glued the cardstock pieces together. 

Before gluing the card front to the A2 black card base, I stamped out the sentiment using stamps from the Brie Mine set. For a touch of shine, I added glossy accents to the nose and eyes.

And that pretty much finishes up this cute little cheesy friendship card!

Quick and Easy Hello Friend Card | Studio Katia

Hello Friends!

Today I am sharing a super quick and easy card to make using the You're So Ranunculus stamp set. A card like this would be a great card to mass produce for whatever occasion you needed.

CARD DETAILS

I began by stamping out the image and heat setting it with a gold embossing powder onto watercolor paper. Using a large brush I then applied a generous amount of water to the paper.  Next, I smooshed Squeezed Lemon and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink onto to a slick surface and added the color to the paper starting with the yellow on the top and pink on the bottom and then blended the two colors slightly in the middle. To some of the flower petals, I added a little more pigment before the water dried. Once the panel was completely dry, I die cut the added some splatters of ink using the same oxide colors. 

I then ran the paper through the die cutting machine using the large frame from the Dotted Pattern Set 3 die set. I glued that piece onto a gold foil card stock that I had trimmed to size and then glued them onto an A2 card base using foam tape.

I finished off the card front with gold foil die-cuts that came from the Spring Bouquet Coordinating die set and the You're So Ranunculus Coordinating die set, and then added some gold crystals as finishing touches.
