Ocean Scene Shadow Box Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends! 

Hope you are enjoyng the beautiful warm weather, and hopefully you aren't in a place where the temperatures are extremely hot at the moment. Thankfully here in Edmonton, the weather has wonderful. Even still I wish we lived closer to the beach so I could go dive into the ocean just like todays card reminds me of.

CARD RECIPE

• Die cut all the ocean pieces you want to use from the Ocean Deep Scene Builder Dies. With Copic markers and gel pen add details to the die cuts. Set them aside.
• Die cut the pieces for the shadow box card. I used the A2 Scene Builder Card Base Dies to create the skeleton for this shadow box card. I die cut the front of this die set 3 times using progressively darker shades of blue card stock. This die cuts an opening for the card scene, but because I want to create the ocean wave layers I had to cut 3 pieces of the same colored cardstock to cover up the opening which measured 4.5 x 4.25 inches. I then die cut the ocean waves into each layer from largest to smallest, lightest to darkest color. 

• Glue the ocean layer onto the coordinating front card die-cut frame. 
• Cut the side panels to 1/4 inch on each side of the frames, you will use these tabs to glue later to form the layers of the card.
• To the back panel of the card base (black layer), I stamped out the sentiment from the Seas The Day stamp set. 

• Attach the 2 middle layers of the scene to the card base. I used red line tape and attached one side first and then the other side, ensuring they fold flat in both directions.
• For the top layer of the ocean frame, I used the Layered Waves Stencils to add more interest to the front of the card by blending out Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink. 
• Start gluing the pieces to create the ocean scene. 
• Once you are happy glue one side of the card to the base and then fold and line up to glue the other side of the card. 
• Finish by adding gel pen details and gem stickers.

To the back, I glued a white card panel and left it blank. I think this card would make a great retirement, birthday, or Bon Voyage card. 

Fold flat into an A2-sized envelope and mail it to a friend. 

I hope this Ocean Scene Shadow Box Card inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Furry Birthday Dreams Mini Slimline Card | Studio Katia

Hello, my friends!

Today I have the cutest birthday card for a furry friend or dog lover featuring the Furry Dream sets from Studio Katia.

CARD RECIPE

• Stamp out your images from the FURRY DREAMS set using Copic safe ink and color them in.
• Die-cut them using the coordinating FURRY DREAMS DIES.
• Ink blend the background using pink, yellow, and blue inks to create a rainbow blended background.
• To add sparkle to the background, I applied a generous layer of SK glue to the stencil and then removed it and while the glue was still wet poured on SPARKLE GLITTER.
• Once the background was dry I trimmed and glued it to the scalloped frame from the MINI SLIMLINE: SET ONE that I glued onto a mini slimline card base popped up with FOAM tape.
• Stamp out the sentiment from the FURRY DREAMS set using white ink and embossing pwd. on black cardstock.
• Die-cut the sentiment with one of the banners from the PEONY TRIMMINGS DIES.
• Add the stamped elements to the card front.
• Finish with white gel pen details and add the cutest star to the birthday hat from the PUFFY STARS - MIX.

Here is what I stamped on the inside of the card.

I hope this darling Furry Birthday Dreams Mini Slimline Card made you smile today. I think it turned out so cute, maybe I'm biased cause I made it look like our little fur baby Ruby🐶

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

Beach Sunset Birthday Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and happy Monday! 

I hope you all are enjoying your summer so far. I have yet to do so. Work is out of control as we are so short-staffed and it looks like I won't be getting some of my vacation requests approved so it will be a staycation for the time that was approved which will be later on in August. Plus, how can anyone get anything done with the kids at home, lol😆. I feel like I'm constantly cooking or cleaning. Anyways, I digress... guess I was wishing I was somewhere like on today's card for the summer. A girl can dream, right!?!

I kept this card super simple as I wanted the Ocean Circlescape Dies to be the focal point.

CARD RECIPE

• Die-cut the Ocean Circlescape Dies using paper for ink blending. 
• Ink blend the waves, sun, and sky using distress oxide inks, see colors listed below. 
• Spray the waves with water to add distress and texture to the blending. 
• Glue all the die-cut pieces back onto a circle smaller than the circle shape. I used one of the circles from the Circlescapes Shaker Frames.

Pop up the sun in the center using foam tape.

Add white gel pen details to the waves, sun, and sky. 

Add a thin layer of glue to each layer of wave and add chunky glitter for a touch of sparkle.

Add the birthday sentiment from the Foil Script: Wishes Hot Foil Plate/Dies that has been foiled using polished brass glimmer foil with the Hot foil glimmer system.

Add foam dots to the back of the finished Circlescape panel and attach it to a black piece of A2-sized cardstock that has been glued to an A2 card base.

I hope this simple beach sunset birthday card inspired you today. Perfect for any beach lover in your life.

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