Lovely Layers Rainbow Rose | Valentine's Day Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my dear friends, and Happy New Year!!!

Yes, this is my first post for 2022 and of course, I had to start off with a Rainbow Rose inspiration🌹🌈😁

Today's card could be used for any occasion, but I did pair it with a "love you" sentiment from the new Bitty Buzzwords: Be Mine to make it a valentine's Day Card. 

CARD RECIPE

To begin I die cut all the pieces for the Lovely Layers: Roses and then Ink Blended each layer of the petals using Atelier Inks from Inkon3, see thumbnails below.

For the petals, I first used Goddess Green Ink and then went back in with Trinity to darken some of the petals and stems.

I used foam tape to build up the petals of the rose, leaving the center free of foam so that I could add glue to it and pinch it together with reverse tweezers until the glue dried. This gives the rose some fan-like dimension. And, yes this does make the card super bulky. So this would be one card that would have to be hand-delivered or you'd have to put it in a "box of roses". This rose would also look amazing in a frame too! Check out my previous lovely layer frames HERE.

For the background, I used a few of the stencils from the Layered Lace Layering Stencils to add Moonstone Paste and create some glittery borders on the card front.

The "love you" stamp comes from the Bitty Buzzwords: Be Mine set that was stamped on black cardstock using white ink and embossing PWD. It then was die cut using one of the smaller banners from the Sentiment Banner Dies.

To finish this beauty, I added some of my favorite sequins for even more sparkle and shine.

I hope I didn't disappoint you with this rainbow rose creation. I am absolutely in love with it and hope you are too!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Cheers to You Bokeh Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my friends, and Happy Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday weekend. Sadly I had to work but was able to enjoy a couple of Christmas Dinners with my friends and family.

As we approach the end of the year and this card reminds me of all the twinkly lights of the season. Today's Bokeh Background Card could be used for so many occasions, a birthday, a retirement, just because, New Year's, really any excuse to celebrate a friend! So let me tell you how this came together.

CARD RECIPE

To create this card I began by blending the background circles using the Polka Dot Background Stencils and various distress oxide inks, see colors listed below. The blending was done on a dark blue textured panel. Once the Polka Dots were done I then went back and added black soot distress oxide ink around the edges to intensify the background.

Next, I die-cut 4 layers of the Cheers Dies and the You Buzzword Dies, 3 layers from black cardstock, and a top Silver Glitter layer. They were then stacked and glued together onto the background layers that were cut from vellum.

To complete the sentiment I stamped out the "to" in white ink using a stamp from the Cheers stamp set.

Finally, I finished off this beauty by adding all the sequin bling!

I hope you love this Cheers to You Bokeh Card as much as I do. Thank you all for the support throughout this past year. Today's post will be my last for 2021. I am definitely in need of a break and will be taking this time to enjoy myself with the family. See you all in 2022! 

Thank you for stopping by and until next year... Happy Crafting!

Modern Feature Wall Welcome to the Neighborhood Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, and Happy Friday Crafty Friends!

Today's post is part of an Instagram Hop to celebrate the Sealed with Love release from Honey Bee Stamps. Make sure to join me over on IG for lots of inspiration from the Design Team and to qualify for two $25 Gift Cards.

This card features the Happy Plants Stamps and Dies, and the Rooting For You Sentiments Stamps and Dies that I paired with the Mod A2 Cover Plate.

Doesn't this totally look like a gorgeous feature wall you would see in a modern-designed home? It looks so aesthetic that it's totally giving me the Reno itch! 

To create the see-through card front, I die-cut the Mod A2 Cover Plate four times from black heavyweight cardstock. I then stacked and glued the layers together. Before gluing on the fourth layer I attached the back panel of the card, where I created a tiny hinged by scoring the card base across the top. If you look closely you can see the hinge peek through. I could have cut it a hair shorter, but was being lazy, lol!

The Happy Plants were colored using Copic Markers and then die cut using the coordinating dies.

To finish this card I just popped the plants in place using glue and the foam tape to the front polka-dotted plant and then added some white gel pen highlights.

Hope this Modern Feature Wall Welcome to the Neighborhood Card inspired you for the next time you need a New Home Congrats Card. 

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Ilda 💚🌵
