Cheeky Friendship Thank You Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Happy Monday Friends!

I am back today with a super fun "cheeky" card, literally! 😂 This card is for that really great friend you have that you can joke around with, that lifts your spirits and of course is just awesome sauce. I have a few of those girls in my life and I'm sure you do too!

CARD DETAILS

This slimline card was actually quite simple to make as it is basically a one layer card with some paper piecing. The finished card measures 4 x 8.5 inches.

To create the bottom, I used the largest heart die from the PIERCED XOXO HEART DIE set. For the pockets I used the STACKING POCKETS DIES. I then used a BACKGROUND BLENDER BRUSH to color in the pieces for the blue jeans using faded jeans Distress Oxide Ink.

Once everything was colored I pieced the pockets together and glued them in place. I also added the stitched details and the tiny heart buttons to the pockets using dies from the POCKET FULL OF LOVE DIE set.

For the sweater I measured the width of the heart (derriere) at the point where I wanted the sweater to reach, I then cut the sweater pattern piece to that width and used the edge from the DECKLE EDGE A2 frames to die cut along the bottom of the sweater to give it a more realistic finish. The sweater pattern paper comes from the HOLIDAY TRADITIONS Paper Pad.

The greeting on the card comes from three different stamp sets that I stamped out using Versafine Onyx Ink and heat set it with clear embossing powder. The "Friend" stamp comes from the FRIENDSHIP stamp set, the "you are awesome sauce" comes from the AWESOME SAUCE stamp set and the "thanks for the lift" comes from the BLOWN AWAY stamp set.

I had so much fun coming up with this punny card and I really hope you enjoyed this CAS "Cheeky" Friendship Thank You Card as much as I did!

Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Hugs Kisses and Warm Wishes Valentine's Day Cards | Ink On 3

Happy Wednesday Friends. I hope your week is going well for you all, I sadly still have a nasty cold but I guess shouldn't complain too much as I haven't been sick for the longest time, guess it's going around and it was my turn😒.

At least a cold can't stop me from creating, so today I have some colorful Valentine inspired cards to share with you featuring a few goodies from Ink On 3.

CARD DETAILS

For this first card, I started by stamping out the lips from Bad and Boujee Stamp set randomly but in a rainbow order all the way down the panel. Beginning with Marilyn Red, Marigold Orange, Bee Sting Yellow, Goddess Green, Peacock Blue and ending with My Jam Purple Atelier Inks. I just love these ink names!!!

I then stamped the "hugs and warm wishes" from the Raccoon Hugs set on vellum and heat set the ink using Black As Night Embossing Powder. I also used the "&" from the Bad and Boujee Stamp set and the Kisses die from the Coordinating Bad and Boujee Die Set that I coated using Juicy Ink and Crystal Clear Embossing Powder.

For this next card, I began by gluing paper scraps onto my card panel that I had cut into random strip sizes to create the background.

I then stamped out the lips horizontally across the panel. Here I used Marilyn Red, Marigold Orange, Bee Sting Yellow Atelier Inks.

I then stamped out the sentiments from the Bad and Boujee Stamp set and then used Crystal Clear embossing powder to heat set them. I then popped on the stamped image strip onto the colorful card panel and Voila all done!

I hope these cards have inspired you. Both these cards could be used for Valentine's Day but they also could be used as friendship or encouragement cards. 

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Honey Bee Stamps | Day 2 | Bee Mine Blog Hop | 3D Heart Hot Air Balloon Scene Card

Hello Friends and Welcome to Day 2 of the Honey Bee Stamps Blog Hop for the BEE Mine Release! I am in love with all the new goodies and I'm sure after you've seen all the inspiration you will be too!

If you are just getting started on the Hop don't worry I have a complete list of where to go at the end of the post. If you have already joined the hop you would have arrived here from my sweet friend, Brenda's Blog.

For my card today I decided to create a slimline scene to jam in as many new goodies as I could and I love the results!

CARD DETAILS

I began by die cutting my mountain and trees using the MOUNTAIN Z-FOLD A2 CARD DIES. I then did some ink blending to quickly add color to them using the DETAIL BLENDER BRUSHES and Distress Oxide Inks and the new MOUNTAIN Z-FOLD Stencils.

Next, I cut out and blended out the background. I then die cut a few clouds to add from the LARGE CLOUDS DIE Set. I then stamped the sentiments as shown using stamps from the BLOWN AWAY Set.

Rather than creating a Z fold card, I added the Mountain fold on one side and the tree fold on the other side and just trimmed off the excess that hung over each edge. I also added another piece of cardstock behind the card front to cover up the tabs that I had glued to create the folds.

To create the 3D balloon, I die cut 3 of the same size hearts using the middle die sized die from the PIERCED XOXO HEART DIE Set using different colored cardstock. I then scored each heart down the center and folded them with a bone folder. To glue them together I added a very thin line of glue along the edge of each fold and held it in place for a few seconds while the glue dried and repeated it for the top heart. If you add too much glue and push the heart flat you risk gluing more then the center and the flaps may not pop up as well.

Once the 3D balloon heart was done, I just glued it to a stamped balloon from the UP, UP AND AWAY Set that I trimmed off as I only need the basket. I then just used foam tape to pop it in place.

Oh, by the way, the balloon does fold flat for mailing, just make sure you wait until the glue is completely dry before flattening it.

To add a little shine to the mountain tops I added some Glimmer Paste.
