Hooked on You Interactive Shaker/Slider Card | Honey Bee Stamps

In the world of crafting, there's always something new and exciting to try. If you're a fan of creating interactive and eye-catching cards, then you're in for a treat! Not only is this card a shaker, but it also is a slider.

CARD RECIPE

Let's explore the features of this card, along with the new products from Honey Bee Stamps that will take your card-making game to new heights!

1. Start by die-cutting and piecing one of the Lovely Layers Lures. 

2. To the end of the lure, I attached the cute little earthworm from the Spring Meadow and Dies.

3. Next, attach a clear thread and secure it to the back of the lure. Also (I wished I had done this, hindsight is 20/20) glue a penny or a button to the back of the lure and set it aside to work on the flat shaker.

4. Cut a piece of pattern paper for the background of the shaker. This paper comes from the Vitamin Sea Paper Pad and create the shaker pocket. Before attaching the plastic to the panel, pierce a tiny hole near the top center of the front of the plastic pocket. Thread the end of the clear thread you attached to the lure earlier,  from inside the pocket leaving excess line outside the pocket for later use. 

(You can create the pocket either by using scrap plastic and wrapping it around the panel or using a premade shaker pocket (yes, the same ones I developed 😉) Click HERE if you need further instruction on this). 

5. Once the pocket is made, fill it with your shaker bits. I used AURORA LIGHTS Confetti Mix and close up the pocket. Attach the pocket to a card base.

6. Stamp out and heat emboss in white your sentiment strip using the Hooked On You Stamps and Dies.

7. Shorten the thread that is dangling outside the pocket and attach the sentiment to the clear thread by sandwiching the thread between a few layers of the die-cuts. If done correctly the weight of the lure will pull the sentiment to snug up against the pierced hole you created. (My lure didn't have enough weight and so it didn't work as smoothly as I would have liked it to, but this is how you learn right!?)

8. Finish the outside of the shaker panel by adding some seagrasses. I used some from the Ocean Deep Scene Builder Dies.

9. To embellish a little more I added some fun "water bubbles" using Ombre Pearls- Pearl Stickers.

By following these steps, you can create a unique and interactive flat shaker hooked on your slider lure card that will amaze and delight the recipient. Experiment with different color combinations, patterns, and shaker fillings to customize the card to your liking.

Remember, crafting is all about learning and trying new techniques, so don't worry if everything doesn't go perfectly the first time. Embrace the process and have fun with it! Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Christmas Tree Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends! 

At this moment, I am vacationing in Europe... but lucky for you I have pre-scheduled a few posts just in case you were missing me!

I couldn't let July go by without sharing a delightful Christmas in July card because it's never too early to start spreading holiday cheer! Today's creation showcases some fabulous new products from the Adventure Awaits Release, combined with timeless festive elements.

CARD RECIPE

Here's the step-by-step guide to re-create this beautiful card:

1. Begin by creating a shaker pocket using plastic from a cello bag or similar and a beautiful pattern paper from the brand-new Adventure Awaits Paper Pad. Fill the shaker with the enchanting Blizzard Confetti Mix.

2. Next I added some foam dots to the Oval die cut and attached it to the front of the card.

3. The layered tree comes from the Lovely Layers Trees set. To make it look more Christmasy, I added a top white layer, and then to it, I added some Liquid Applique and heat set it to make snow-like clumps. For a touch of sparkle, I then added glue and sprinkled on Prisma Glitter.

4. To finish the tree, I added the sentiment. The joy comes from the Bitty Buzzwords: Holidays Dies and the rest of the sentiment comes from the Bitty Buzzwords: Holidays stamp set. The strip was then die-cut using one of the banners from the Mini Messages Dies.

5. For a pop of color I used the red gems from the Make it Merry Sticker set.

6. Finally, I finished the front panel with a few large snowflakes and also added Crystal Glimmer Enamel Stickers to their centers.

7. To the inside, I stamped out the sentiment also from the Bitty Buzzwords: Holidays stamp set using Intense Black Ink.

May this Christmas in July card inspire you to get an early start on your Christmas cardmaking or at least see how you can incorporate non-holiday products into your Holiday cards.

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

Celebrating Pride: Trio of Joyful Cards for Special Occasions | Honey Bee Stamps

Just imagine if the rings of a tree were actually rainbow-colored, how beautiful and colorful this world would be! Then again, trees would be even more endangered than they already are because we would all be chopping them down😆

Inclusive celebrations are always worth cherishing, and what better way to express your love and support than through heartfelt cards? Today I bring you a delightful trio of pride-inspired cards to commemorate a birthday, anniversary, and the arrival of a precious little one. These cards not only celebrate milestones but also promote a message of inclusivity, love, and acceptance.

CARD RECIPE

I will explain how I made one of these cards as the rest were done similarly. 

Using the Lovely Layers Slice and Stump Die, cut out your tree rounds. For a touch of pride, color the tree rings with vibrant rainbow hues using KARIN BRUSHMARKER PRO markers. To make the rings pop even more I used a distress brayer and rolled black ink over each die and then carefully placed the painted stumps back into their mold to press the black line impressions back into the stumps. This adds depth and dimension to them. I then glued them to a black bark layer. The leaves I used come from the  Lovely Layers: Dogwood Dies adding a cheerful element to the card. 

To complete this card I added a sentiment from the Inside Snarky Birthday Sentiment Stamp set stamped and heat embossed in white, then die cut with the coordinating die. This whimsical heart comes from the Heart Hug Die set, topped with a sparkly gem from the Aurora Borealis Gem Stickers. The background for each of these cards, (although it is difficult to see from these pictures) is full of texture that comes from using the Woodgrain 3D embossing folder.

For the Anniversary card of the Trio, I used two of the stumps and made them look like a little couple. This time my sentiment for the card came from the Mini Messages Stamps and Dies.

For comparison, I initially tried outlining the rings with a fine-tip black pen which was a bit time-consuming but the results are definitely darker. But using the brayer was super easy especially when making multiples.

This final card is for a family, welcoming their little one. Here again, the sentiment comes from the Mini Messages Stamps and Dies.

Even though these are just colorful stumps, I think turned out to be so sweet.

Whether you are here because you love rainbows or pride, I hope this trio of cards inspired you today. 

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