Hi Beautiful - Honey Bee Stamps



Hi beautiful people!

I am super excited and honoured to be on Honey Bee Stamps blog today. Here is a card featuring the Hello Gorgeous stamp set which comes with many beautiful rustic floral images and large sentiments.

I love the rustic florals and antler images on this stamp set because they are very versatile and are great for making cards for any occasion. I wanted a rustic look so I went for textures and a muted color palette. Here is my card.

I started off by stamping two of the same floral images and two arrows onto watercolour cardstock using Versafine Onyx black ink and lightly water coloured them using distress inks. I also stamped the large “hi” sentiment on a white card stock and clear embossed it to make it more defined. With their coordinating dies, it was a breeze cutting them out. I stamped the word “beautiful” onto a black card stock strip and white heat embossed the word for contrast. Then, cut a fish tail at one end of the strip.

For the card panel, I cut a 3 ¾ inch x 5 ½ inch white card stock and embossed it with weathered design embossing folder from Taylored Expressions. Then I taped a 1/8 inch black card stock strip and a one inch grey textured card stock onto the right side of the embossed card panel. This creates a 4 ¼ inch x 5 ½ inch card panel.

To assemble the card, I glued the card panel onto a side folding Neenah solar white 110lbs card base. The floral images were adhered towards the right bottom of the card. Then, the two arrows were cut at the center and the heads and tail were separately tucked under the florals giving a lengthened look.

Finally, I glued down the sentiments using mono glue and added some glitter onto the florals using wink of stella clear glitter pen. And, the card is done!

Thank you for stopping by. Hope you like this and have a great day!

Love,

Hello Gorgeous - Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Gorgeous Friends ! 

Today I have another card created using Hello Gorgeous stamp set from Honey Bee Stamps. I truly love the many floral images in this set which I could use to make cards for many occasions.

To start off, I layered two floral images using masking technique and stamped them onto an A2 card size watercolor cardstock. I then used distress inks to watercolor the images and outline the images using Sakura Pigma micron .01 black pen to give more contrast to the image.

Then, I ink blended the background using mini blending tool with scattered straw distress ink. For a more dimensional look, I created shadow using my Copic marker W01, W03 under the florals. For the sentiments, I gold embossed the word HELLO above and word Gorgeous with Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

Then, trimmed both sides of the card panel using my paper trimmer and scissors. This was then glued on top of a layer of textured brown cardstock and shimmering peach card stock at the bottom layer.

Lastly, I attached the front panel onto a top folding card base to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a gorgeous day everyone !

Thanks a Log - guest design for Honey Bee Stamps

Hello stampers !

I am so excited and honoured to be invited as guest designer for Honey Bee Stamps this month. They are a USA company selling buzzworthy stamps, dies and paper craft supplies owned by the talented Melissa Hewitt who also designs her own stamps.

Here is my first card using the Spring Honey Buddies and Hello Gorgeous stamp sets which also come with their coordinating dies.

I love the wood slice images and stamped all the different sizes of wood slices available in the stamp set while masking them if needed onto watercolor paper. Then, I used distress ink to watercolor them in to create a more realistic look. I put them together randomly onto a white card stock and colored in the white spaces using pumice stone distress ink.

I die cut an oval window with frame using woodgrain card stock and laid this over the wood slices panel.

I stamped the bunny and floral images onto Neenah crest solar white card stock 80 lbs with memento tuxedo black ink and colored using Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment and die cut it slightly off centre to get a more dimensional look.

I taped everything over the frame using glue and foam tape. Lastly, added some glossy accents onto the flower center and bunny paws and my card is done !



Thanks a log for stopping by ! Have a fabulous day !
