You're Amazing Rainbow Forest Card | Honey Bee Stamps


Welcome back, crafty friends! 

In honor of Pride Month, I am combining two great things— my love of all things rainbow and acts of kindness in support of our LGBTQ+ friends—to create a vibrant and heartwarming card. Our world more than ever needs more love and less hate. 

CARD RECIPE


Begin by selecting a piece of sturdy cardstock in a size suitable for your card base. I used Canson Watercolor paper for this 5x7 Card. Apply a rainbow spectrum of Distress Oxide Inks onto the paper panel. Start with the lightest color and gradually work your way across to the darkest color. (See links below for colors used).


Using a distress brayer apply black ink to the raised side of the Into The Woods 3D Embossing Folder.
Place the cardstock inside the embossing folder and run it through your die-cutting machine, following the manufacturer's instructions. This will create a beautiful raised rainbow pattern on your cardstock with a dark background to contrast the colors. Trim the panel and add it to a 5x7 Card Base. I used a piece of craft foam to slightly pop it off the card base.

On black cardstock, stamp the sentiment "Just wanted to say" from the Mini Messages Stamps and the You're Amazing" from the Big Time Kindness Stamp set using Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink and heat setting them in white Emb. Powder. Use coordinating dies from sets to die and cut them out and glue them to the center of the card panel.

For a touch of sparkle, I added glue to the tree lines and then sprinkled it with some glitter while the glue was still wet.


And there you have it—a stunning, rainbow-inspired card bursting with love and kindness! This Pride Month, celebrate diversity and spread joy by creating your own handmade cards. Remember, a small act of kindness can brighten someone's day, and crafting allows us to share that love with others. Show your support, spread kindness, and let your love shine through your craft!


Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
Love more, judge less.
Ilda 🌈💓

Water Lily Sympathy Card | Adventure Awaits Release | Honey Bee Stamps

Water Lily, Sympathy Card,Adventure Awaits,Honey Bee Stamps,how to,handmade card,Stamps,ilovedoingallthingscrafty,stamping, diecutting,cardmaking,Lovely Layers,Glimmer Hot Foil,

Hello, dear friends!

Today, I want to share a stunning sympathy card that features the exquisite Lovely Layers Water Lily from the Adventure Awaits Release by Honey Bee Stamps.

CARD RECIPE


To start, I began by crafting the transparent section of the card using vellum and applying glimmer paste through the Fish Net Stencil. While that dried, I focused on creating the other elements of the card.


For the Water Lily, I die-cut the pieces from white card stock and added color through ink blending. Then, I assembled the lily using foam to achieve a dimensional effect. To enhance the flower's center, I applied glue and sprinkled chunky glitter for a touch of sparkle. Additionally, I used a green Copic marker to create shadows and add detail to the lily pad.

To create an opaque window, I utilized the Sweet Stacks Ovals to die-cut a shimmery vellum background from the panel I had created earlier. Next, I die-cut a smaller oval on the front of the card base. By using both sizes of the oval dies, I created a frame and adhered it first to the vellum layer and then attached it to the card's front.

For the sentiments I used the "With Our Love" plate from the Foil Script: Wishes Hot Foil Plate/Dies done in Sky Bright Glimmer Foil and add the "With Sympathy" sentiment from the Mini Messages Stamps that I stamped onto a Mini Messages Dies Banner die.

I hope this card provides you with inspiration, and I truly adore how the light shines through when it's displayed.
