I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that this card was quick. I like to complicate things by using three colors to blend out the rainbow for each ornament. You can create a beautiful card using one color to blend with I am sure. 

The other thing I did was use 3 different pastes. Which meant I had to make sure each paste was dry before moving on to the next. But once the paste was all dry the rest was fun. I love to embellish the heck out of my cards, the more bling the better. 

Even though this card was time-consuming the results were worth it. I love how it turned out!

Vintage Holiday Release Day 2 Sneak Peeks | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello and welcome back to Day 2 of the Vintage Holiday Release for Honey Bee Stamps.

My card today features the gorgeous new Lovely Layers: Anemone Dies. This is a larger card (A7), simply because I wanted to use all of these flowers together. They would have fit onto an A2 card base but it would have been too small for the sentiment I wanted to use.

CARD RECIPE

Here is a breakdown of what I used to make this pretty wintery card.

Stamps: 

• Bitty Buzzwords: Seasons

Dies:

• ★Lovely Layers: Anemones Dies

• Bitty Buzzwords: Seasons Dies

• Scallop A7 Card Frames

• Sentiment Banner Dies

Paper: 

• Neenah Solar White 110lbs

• Green and Black Heavyweight Cardstock

Stencil:

• ★Crystal Kaleidoscope Stencil

Paste:

• Pure Platinum Embellishment Mousse

Ink:

• Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink

• Intense Black Ink 

• Juicy Ink

Emb. Powder:

• Black As Night Emb Pwd.

Die Cut Machine:

• Gemini Junior SSS | SBC

Adhesives:

• Bee Creative Glue

Embellishments:

• Bubble Bath Mini Domes 
• Sparkle Glitter
• Exotic Onyx Pearls

Other Tools:

• Micron Pens
• Media Spatulas
• Detail Blender Brushes
• Embellishment Wand

Once my Anemone flowers were all die-cut and assembled, I then just had to figure out the background design. I  used the ★Crystal Kaleidoscope Stencil to apply this silver paste to the Scallop A7 Card Frame layer. 

To make these centers pop, I used foam tape in between each layer and added glue to the outside edge of the center layers which were then dipped in sparkle glitter. Before attaching the centers to the flowers, I drew some black lines on the base of the petals. To the end of the lines, I added the cutest little domes to make it look like Stamen. 

Here's a close-up. Check out the dimension. Also, it is difficult to see from the photos but I did blend Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink to the white centers of the flowers to give some extra depth and dimension.

I hope you were inspired by this Hello Winter Anenomes Card. If you have been following me you will know that I love all the Lovely Layer Flowers from Honey Bee and this Anemone did not disappoint. 

Thank you for stopping by and I will see you back here tomorrow for day 3 sneak peeks... Happy Crafting!

Vintage Holiday Release Day 1 Sneak Peeks | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my friends, and Happy Monday!

It's time again for another Honey Bee Stamps Release, and today the Design Team is showcasing Day 1 Sneak Peeks for their Vintage Holiday Release.

This Snowman Winter Shaker Shadow Box is jam-packed with all-new goodies. Can you spot all the new stamps and dies? Don't worry I give you the complete recipe for this card down below. What I am really excited about is the A2 Scene Builder Card Base Dies. The possibilities are endless for shadow box creations with these Dies.

Make sure you stop by the Honey Bee Stamps Blog for more inspiration from the Design Team featuring more day 1 product reveals! Please note that ★ links will not be active until the Release goes live on October 14th, 2021 @9pm CST.

CARD RECIPE

Here is a breakdown of what I used.

Stamps: 

• ★Snow Family Like Ours Stamps

Dies:

• ★A2 Scene Builder Card Base Dies
• ★A2 Mountain Scene Builder Add On Dies
• ★Pierced Fancy Flakes A2 Cover Plate Die
• ★Fancy Flakes A2 Cover Plate Die
• ★Build A Snowman Dies
• ★Snow Family Like Ours Dies

Paper: 

• Neenah Solar White 110lbs

• Green, Blue, Brown Pink, and Black heavyweight Cardstock

• Glitter Cardstock - Silver Service Pad

Ink for Blending:

•  Salvage Petina Distress Oxide Ink

Ink:

• Shark Tooth White Atelier Ink

Emb. Powder:

• Arctic White EP

Die Cut Machine:

• Gemini Junior SSS | SBC

Adhesives:

• Scor-Tape | 1/8" Wide

• Bee Creative Glue

Embellishments:

• Bokeh Lights Confetti

• Moonstone Glimmer Paste

• Gold Gel Pen

Other Tools:

• Mini Misti
• Cello Bag - for the shaker window
• Background Blender Brushes

For an added layer of fun, I thought it would be cool to add a shaker element to this winter scene. To create that I simply created a shaker pocket using a cello bag that I filled with some Bokeh Lights Confetti. I sealed the edges of the pocket with a thin double-sided tape and then secured it behind the front window opening of the card base.

The coolest thing about these shadow boxes is that they fold flat and fit perfectly inside an A2 Envelope. This card when flat has a little bulge in it because I can't help myself and add way too many elements but I am still able to seal the envelope without any problems.

Also, check out the snowflakes I used in the background aren't they gorgeous! I love them!!! They were made with the ★Pierced Fancy Flakes A2 Cover Plate Die and the ★Fancy Flakes A2 Cover Plate Die that I trimmed down to create the background.

And how sweet is the little snowman? You guys are going to love the ★Build A Snowman Dies. There are so many different ways you can dress him up. I see a lot of snowmen in my future, lol!

Well, that wraps it up for Day 1 sneak peeks from me. Thank you for stopping by and I will see you back here tomorrow for day 2 sneak peeks... Happy Crafting!
