Honey Bee Stamps | Day One - Autumn Afternoon Release Blog Hop

Hello, my friends and welcome to Day One of the Autumn Afternoon Release Blog Hop. If you have already started hopping you would have arrived here from Julianne's Blog. If you want to start the Blog Hop from the beginning click HERE. I will link the complete line up close to the end of this post.

CARD DETAILS

I have a couple of cards to share with you today so I will try to keep it a brief as possible. This first card features the new SWEET SUNFLOWERS and that I colored using Copic markers and then die cut using the coordinating DIES. 

For the background blanket, I stamped out the BUFFALO PLAID STAMP using black ink onto the new SLIMLINE SENTIMENTS: BLANKET DIE.

I then die cut the scripted sending die from the SLIMLINE SENTIMENTS: BLANKET DIE, and heat embossed it with black EP to give it that glossy finish. 

For the warm wishes banner, I stamped the sentiments from the FALL STAMP SET and then die cut it with one of the SENTIMENT BANNER DIES.

Here are a few more close-ups of these beautiful images designed by my sweet friend Emily Midgett. 

This next card is perfect for all my coffee-loving friends. This card features the images from the new TREAT YO SELF STAMP and coordinating DIES. 

The images were colored using Copic markers. The background panel was created by die cutting the largest SCALLOP A2 FRAME and then using the smaller HEXAGON STENCIL to blend out the pattern on the panel.

The sentiment dies come from the new AUTUMN DIES and the stamps come from the coordinating AUTUMN STAMP SET.

Here is another close up look at all the fun added sparkly details.

Life Is A Bit Nuts Slimline Scene Card | Day Four Sneak Peeks | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Friends and Happy Monday. Is your life a bit nuts these days!? Maybe you can relate to this card. I know I definitely can!

This cute Slimline Card features the new NUTS ABOUT YOU and coordinating DIES, I also used HORIZON SLIMLINE BORDERS. Yes, as you can see I didn't create a Slimline horizontal card, but I wanted to show you it is also possible to use these dies and make a vertical Slimline scene. To frame the scene I used the SLIMLINE SENTIMENTS: EYELET DIES (Please note links for the new release will not be active until products go live on RELEASE DAY - Monday 9/21 @ Midnight EST.)

Hey BOO! | Halloween Light Up Interactive Card | Studio Katia

Well Hey, Boo! 

Today I have a special little card for you! Not only is this little pumpkin adorable, it is also interactive and lights up for the recipient. How fun is that?! I am so addicted to these new to me EZ-lights that I'm sure you will be seeing a lot more of these light-up cards in the future!

  CARD DETAILS

Here is how I made this card:

• Die-cut 2 HALF STRIPED COVER frames, one orange, and one purple.
• Rotate one Striped Cover over the other 90 degrees and glue together onto a white card panel.
• Die-cut the top, bottom, and frame pieces for the pumpkin using the SHAKER PUMPKIN DIES
• Glue the bottom of the pumpkin onto the center of the card panel.
• Punch a hole through both the card panel and the pumpkin base (somewhere where it won't be seen from the face openings.
• Add vellum behind the pumpkin face and add foam tape to the outer edges of the pumpkin's face.

• Thread the EZ-Light wire from behind the panel through the hole you punched through the panel. 
• Tape down each EZ-Light so that the light is able to shine through the vellum areas of the pumpkin's face. ( I taped them behind the top orange pumpkin layer)  
• Line up the pumpkin's face with the back layer and adhere them together with the foam tape.
• Glue down the pumpkin's frame around the pumpkin.
• Insert the battery and tape down the EZ-Light push button behind the area you want the recipient to push down on. Test the push area.
• Tape the excess wires to the pack of the card panel, leaving room along with the edges to add foam around the border. 

• Attach to the card base.
• Die-cut the letters from glitter craft foam using the CHUNKY ALPHABET and arrange and press onto the card front.
• Instead of writing push or press on the area, I used the Miss You stamp from the SWEET HEART CANDY.
• To finish, embellish with your favorite bling. (I used RIPE PERSIMMON PEARLS and AMETHYST PEARLS).

Now let's see how cool it looks when you light it up!

How cool is that right?

I hope you were inspired by this fun Halloween Light Up Card. I'm already planning my next one, lol! Make sure you are following me on Instagram, I will post a quick video of the card coming together.

Thank you for stopping and until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
