Happy Birthday Rainbow Streamer Cards | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello and Happy Monday! 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Yesterday we celebrated my God Daughter's Aleinas15th Birthday and above is the card I made for her. 

If you remember from the cards I shared last week (see card below) I made this fun background using the Good Vibes Stencil. When you blend out backgrounds using the stencil there is always ink left on top of the stencil and rather than wiping them clean, I like to save the ink and use it to create more backgrounds as I did for both the cards I made today.  To do that, place the stencil on a paper towel (this will absorb the runoff of water) and then spray water over the stencil until it is saturated. Remove the paper towel and press your paper into the stencil. Lift up the paper and allow the inks to dry, this will leave your paper with a watercolored transfer look.

CARD RECIPE

I have already explained how these backgrounds were made, so I won't get into that. If you want to skip that step you could use the pattern paper from the Look For The Rainbow Paper Pad.  Next, I stamped the outline Happy from the Happy Happy Happy stamp set onto the panel using 3 ink colors to blend out the rainbow in the same order as the panel. 

I then used the Happy Happy Happy A2 Cover Plate, and cut out the Happy die cuts. I then stacked and glued the letters together and finished the top with silver glitter paper. Next, I glued the letters in place where I had stamped the outlines.

The sub sentiments also come from the Happy Happy Happy stamp set that I stamped using the Intense Black Ink.

For the foil balloons, I used Holographic paper from Erin Lee Creative with the Balloon Number Dies. To add the "th" for the 15th you can use any stamp that contains a "th". I used "the" and masked off the "e" from the Birthday set.

This next was made the exact same way only no die cuts were used. I instead used the solid stamps from the Happy Happy Happy stamp set and first stamped it in rainbow colors then slightly offset the same stamp and stamped it out using black ink creating a shadow layer. 

For bling and more sparkle, I added some of the Aurora Borealis Gem Stickers. 

Hopefully next time your stencils are inky, you will give this background idea a try and create some awesome backgrounds for your cards.

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

Rainbow Shaped Cards | Instagram Hop | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and happy weekend! 

After reading this awesome post, I would love it if you could join me over on Instagram as today the Honey Bee DT is celebrating the Rainbow Dreams Release with an Instagram Hop, and as such there will be a few prizes up for grabs if you would like to qualify.

As part of this hop, I created two cards. The second card was to use up leftover die cuts from all the projects I had shared previously.

CARD RECIPE

NEW products from Rainbow Dreams include:

• Rainbow Builder A2 Card Base
• Rainbow Accents Dies
• Rainbow Hot Foil Plate
• Rainbow Dreams Stamps
• Look For The Rainbow 
• Look For The Rainbow Dies

I love the bright colors and the happy feeling I get from this colorful card. It definitely is my favorite rainbow card from the release.

As you can see I only foiled the Rainbow sentiment. This collection works so well together. Love how you can mix and match all the products.

For my second card, I wanted to salvage the rainbow pieces that I had cut for previous cards. I used the same size arch and then stacked and staggered them in rainbow order. To create stability I added the clouds for a base.

To turn this rainbow panel into a card I simply cut a piece of paper to create a small card base that would be hidden behind the arches. I then added some ink blended clouds to the front of the card and then glued it to the opening behind the rainbow, see next photo.

I finished this card by stamping and heat embossing the sentiment on the arch and added all the white gel pen details to coordinate with the white.  

These cards, as you can see fit nicely into the coordinating A2 Envelopes.

I hope these bright cards made you smile today and inspired you to create with the new release. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you join me on Instagram for the Hop... sending you all Sunshine and Rainbows this weekend.

Rainbow Dreams Inspirations Day 2 | Honey Bee Stamps

Happy FriYAY!

Are you tired of rainbows yet?! I hope not because I have 2 more rainbow cards coming for you tomorrow, hehe. I will share the last two as part of our IG hop for the Rainbow Dreams release from Honey Bee Stamps.

For today, I am using the leftover dies from the cards I will share tomorrow to create this super cute stacked rainbow.  

Please note all NEW products will go live after the Honey Bee Stamps live stream tonight, so the links below will not be active until then. Visit HBS for more details.

CARD RECIPE

This cute card features the new:

• Good Vibes Layering Stencils
• Rainbow Builder A2 Card Base
• Rainbow Accents Dies
• Look For The Rainbow 

I also used a few older supplies:

• White Foam Dots With Tab
• Bee Creative Glue
• Intense Black Ink
• Background Blender Brushes

Other supplies:

• Assorted Moonshine Sequins 
• Atelier Bee Sting Yellow Ink Cube
• Atelier Sweet Petunia Pink Cube
• Atelier Peacock Blue Ink Cube

For the background, I used the Good Vibes Layering Stencils and blended the inks out to create a rainbow blend. 

For the rainbow, I used the middle arch of the rainbow from the Rainbow Accents Dies that I cut in all the colors and stacked them together in rainbow order. I then accessorized it with the clouds, stars, and hearts, finishing it off with a sentiment and some sequin bling. 

I absolutely love how this card turned out. Rainbows always make me happy and I hope they do the same for you!

Thank you for stopping by and I will see you back here tomorrow for the Rainbow Dreams IG Hop... Until then, Happy Crafting!

Rainbow Dreams Inspirations Day 1 | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, again friends, and Happy Thursday!

Have you been bitten by the foil bug? Either you love it or hate it. I have mixed reviews, lol. It depends on the day for me. Sometimes I foil without any issue and sometimes I get the worst transfers. For me, I think it is figuring out the papers that transfer best with solid plates that I sometimes have issues with. The thinner-lined foiled designs always transfer well for me. 

For my project today, I have a foiled card to share with you featuring products from the Rainbow Dreams release. *To use foil plates you will need a hot foil system. I used the Spellbinders one.

Please note all NEW products will go live after the Honey Bee Stamps Youtube live stream on Friday, May 27th, so the links below will not be active until then.

CARD RECIPE

This foiled rainbowlicious card features the new:

• Rainbow Hot Foil Plate
• Look For The Rainbow 
• Look For The Rainbow Dies
• Rainbow A2 Pierced Cover Plate
• Rainbow Builder A2 Card Base 

Other Supplies used:

• Scallop A2 Frame Dies
• Outdoor Scene Builder Stencils
• Intense Black Ink
• Bee Creative Glue
• White Foam Dots With Tab
• Iridescent Rain Drops
• RAINBOW Glimmer Foil
• AURA Glimmer Foil
• RED Glimmer Foil
• Hot Foil System

As you can see from the pictures the darker rainbow colors foiled beautifully, but if you look closely at the yellow on the rainbow, it is a bit patchy. That is why I only used half of the rainbows that I foiled to create this wave. The yellow and the red didn't transfer as well, and since I hate to waste I came up with this design to salvage the good pieces.

This card is so pretty in real life. The reflective properties of the foil make it difficult to photograph them well, but I think I captured them as well as possible.

I hope this inspired you today, and if you are like me don't give up on foiling if you had a few bad attempts. If I had I may have not made this pretty card. Also even though, things sometimes are challenging I love learning from my mistakes.

Thank you for stopping by and I will see you back here tomorrow with more Rainbow Dreams Inspirations... Happy Crafting!

Rainbow Foiled Roses Mini Slimline Card and Tag | Studio Katia

Hello friends and happy Saturday!

Have you had a chance to check out Studio Katia's latest release? There are so many new pretty stamps, dies, bling, tools, and all-new Hot Foil plates! If you do and decide to shop there is a May Release Special, Save 20% on new products use code MAY20 at the checkout.

I was super excited to try out the hot foil plates. With these plates, you need to have a hot foil system to be able to foil the design onto the paper. And, if you know me I had to use Rainbow Glimmer Foil.

CARD RECIPE

So to begin I foiled the Roses Hot Foil Plate using the Rainbow Glimmer Foil. I then die-cut the images using the coordinating Spring Roses Dies. Set these pieces aside to work on the card and the tag.

For both the card and the tag I used the Mini Slimline Set One dies. The pattern paper comes from the Black, White, and Rainbow Paper Panels.

I then used foam tape to add the scallop layer to the mini slimline card base. For the sentiment, I used a stamp from the Cone Bouquet set, that I stamped and heat embossed in white on black cardstock. 

For the tag, I used a sentiment that comes from the Gift Tag Greeting: Winter set. I just trimmed it down and added it to a black shadow layer.

To finish I just sprinkled on some pearls for more bling!

If you love foiling, I think you will love this Roses Hot Foil Plate. 

Thank you for stopping by, have a wonderful weekend, and until next time... Happy Crafting!
