Day 2 Sneak Peek Honey Bee Stamps 5th Anniversary Release

Hello, again my friends! Welcome to Day 2 of Sneak Peeks for Honey Bee Stamps 5th Anniversary Release. Today's card features the Far Out Friends Stamp and Dies and the Stellar Sentiments Stamp set.  All products will go live at Midnight EST 4/17, so the links below will not be active until then.

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped out the cute little astronaut and the moon from the Far Out Friends Stamp set and colored them in using Copic markers. To the astronaut's helmet, I added a layer of glossy accents and set it aside to dry.

The background was created using alcohol inks on Yupo paper that I then sprayed with white pigment ink to create the galaxy like background.

To create movent and add an interactive element to my card I die cut a circle in the center of the background. To the astronaut, I glued a piece of string to the top of the helmet, this will limit its movement once it is all put together. I also glued a button on his back, smaller than the opening I had created on the background. To keep the astronaut from falling out the front, I die cut a larger circle and glued it the button.

To ensure the astronaut moved freely, I cut 3 cardstock panels, slightly smaller than the card front and then die cut a large circle opening and glue the 3 panels onto the back of the galaxy panel. The space in the center allows for the disk I created to have space to move freely allowing the astronaut to spin. I also tucked the string from the astronaut's helmet between the card front and the card base before gluing it together.

Now, that I explained how I created the spinner mechanism, I will now show you another card using the same process with this cute girl astronaut.

The galaxy was done the same way, only this time I did not cover the entire panel.

The spinner mechanism is this time under the moon she is standing on. The length of the string on the helmet is what determines how much rotation and movement she gets.

For the moon sentiment, I did use the coordinating STELLAR SENTIMENT DIES.

If you want more of a visual on creating a spinner I have an older video HERE for you to watch.

Bold Beautiful Floral Card | Spellbinders FSJ Stamp of the Month | April 2020

Hello Friends.

I hope you all are hanging in there. Today I have another beautiful card to share with you, in fact, the name of the stamp set from this month's FSJ Stamp of the Month is called Bold Beautiful.

CARD DETAILS

I started off by stamping out the floral images all around the card panel. To stamp the images I rubbed the ink of the Tombow Markers onto certain areas of the stamp to create a no-line watercolor look onto Bristol Paper. Green colors for the leaves and stems and reds and pinks for the flowers and berries.

Once the background was stamped out, I used a fine tip water brush to color the florals in and also added more pigment where needed.

I then stamped out the Bold Beautiful stamp and heat set it using gold embossing powder. I then trimmed it to add to the card front with some foam.

To finish off this beauty I added some Shimmering Sequins for sparkle and glossy accents to the berries. Heres a closer look at the pretty flowers.

I hope this Bold Beautiful Floral no-line watercolored card inspired you all today. Thanks for stopping by, I really do appreciate it. If you are interested in signing up for the Spellbinders FSJ Stamp of the Month click HERE for all the details.

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Bad Influence Birthday Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Friends!

I hope you all are doing well. Seeing that most of us are under quarantine these days, I figured this card was very appropriate for the times. I don't know about you all but I am a stress eater, so needless to say I have probably not been making the best diet choices these days, combined with the fact that besides going to work the exercise that my body is getting is a lot less. Thus I fear the quarantine 15 may be true! If you had been following me during Kathy Racoosin's Coloring Challenge you would have seen this little piggy on Day 30 in my stories. So let's talk about the rest of the card.

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped out all the images below from the BAD INFLUENCE and the PIECE OF CAKE set onto Neenah paper and then colored them in using Copic Markers. I then used the coordinating BAD INFLUENCE DIES and the PIECE OF CAKE DIES to cut them out. To the images, I added white gel and shimmer details using gel pens and then added glossy accents to the piggy's nose and hooves, and the icing on the cakes.

While the glossy accents dried I then created the background. I used Atelier Inks to blend out the blue of the sky and then used the RADIANT BACKGROUND STENCIL to add the yellow rays in the background. For the grass, I used the GRASS BORDER DIE to cut out a layer for the bottom part of the card and then blended out the green ink and distresses it with water droplets.

Next, I stamped out the sentiments from the BAD INFLUENCE set and then started to piece all the layers of the card together.

For a finishing touch, I added the tiny little hearts from the yellow package of the RAINBOW DELUXE SEQUIN SET along the sun rays.

I hope this card provided you with some inspiration and smiles today, cause I really don't want to be a bad influence on you all. I hope you are all well and hopefully taking better care for yourself than I am, although I have to say I have used my treadmill a lot more in the past few weeks then I have in the last year. Stay healthy and safe my friends, and maybe slow down on all the baked goods, lol! Stop baking and make more cards, they have no calories ;)

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
