Felt Blooms See Through Birthday Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, again my Crafty Friends!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I had to work a couple of 12-hour shifts, so I had no time for anything else. And now I'm looking forward to a few days off especially now that the weather is warming up. 

I have been wanting to play with felt for a long time and finally, I thought this would be the perfect card to do it with. This card features the darling Whimsical Spring Flowers | Honey Cuts done in felt.

CARD RECIPE

To begin, I actually started with the card base. I die cut both the GARDEN LATTICE CP TOP and the GARDEN LATTICE CP BASE. In between the layers glued down a piece of Acetate. Before gluing the lattice sandwich together, I added the back panel by gluing the thin top hinge I created between the layers.

Next, I die cut all the Whimsical Spring Flowers from various colors of felt. I then glued and layered each flower together and added them to the bottom of the see-through lattice card front. To finish off the flowers I added some Warm and Cool Pearl Stickers.

I then die-cut the Bloom from the Bitty Buzzwords: Bloom Honey Cuts and stamped out and embossed a sentiment from the Bitty Buzzwords: Bloom Stamps and added them to the card front.

To the inside, I stamped out this small Happy Birthday Stamp from the INSIDE SNARKY BIRTHDAY SENTIMENTS set. I made sure that the sentiment hid behind the front die cuts to add the element of surprise. 

I had so much fun playing with the felt flowers and love the fun texture and dimension the felt added. Something different and fun for a Spring Birthday card. Have you ever added felt to a card? Let me know in the comments below. 

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

Rainbow Tulips Thanks a Bunch Card | Studio Katia

Happy humpday Crafty friends! 

Today's card features some new goodies from Studio Katia's latest release. Tulips are some of my favorites so of course, had to add my rainbow touch to them.

CARD RECIPE

To begin I stamped the Happy Tulips out onto watercolor paper and then colored them using Karin Brush Pro Markers. Once the paper was dry I die cut them out using the coordinating Happy Tulips Die.

Next, I used 3 ink pads (linked below) to blend out the background that peeks through the HALFTONE DOTS COVER DIE that I then glued on top of the card front.

Lastly, I created the sentiment by combining the SCRIPT THANKS DIE, with a sentiment from the BERRY SWEET SENTIMENTS that I had trimmed to fit under the Thanks.

To finish, I used the new MAGIC PEARLS scattered on the various sizes of the dotted cover. To the Tulip's heads, I added a little extra sparkle by painting them with Liquid Pixie Dust.

I hope you found this Rainbow Springtime Tulip Thank You Bunch Card inspiring. Rainbows make me happy and I hope these brought some happiness to your day today!

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

Uniquely You Frida Kahlo Card | Hero Arts

Hello friends and happy Monday! Hope you had a restful weeken

Today's card is obviously inspired by Frida Kahlo. I am sure you have seen her art. She was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. The Hero Lifestyle Frida Kahlo Dies are part of this month's Add Ons.

CARD RECIPE

Not much to explain here only that I die-cut all the pieces from white cardstock using the Hero Lifestyle Frida Kahlo Dies and then colored them using Copic Markers. For the body, I used a beige-colored cardstock using Hero Lifestyle Forms Fancy Dies. I did cut the arms off and repositioned them to look like they are crossing. And for her face, I used the Hero Lifestyle Faces and then drew in her lips with a red sharpie pen. The paper was still wet from the Copics and it bled a little so she ended up with duck lips, lol! I guess if she was still alive maybe she would really have some 😂

Once it was all pieced together I then attached it to the plain card front using foam tape.

To finish I used a sentiment from this month My Monthly Hero Kit March 2022 done in Intens-ified Black Ink. I love how Frida turned out and think it makes the best card for anyone in your life that is so uniquely them, cause you know we are all a bit quirky!

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