I have another card featuring Honey Bee Stamps products and this time I have used the Spring Greenery and Birds dies. These are just fabulous and so easy to make cards with.

My project.

I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ top folding base card. I then die cut a piece of light blue cardstock 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and adhere it to the front of the card. I have then cut a piece of white cardstock 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and die cut it using the Honey Bee Stamps Honey Bee Stamps – Delicate Daisy A2 Cover Plate Base – Honey Cuts. I sponged around the edges with Sky Blue ink and then adhere it to the front of the card. I die cut two dies using the Honey Bee Stamps – Delicate Daisy A2 Cover Plate Top – Honey Cuts, stacked them together and adhered it to the front of the card.

I have die cut the bird using blue, red, black, grey and cream cardstock. I have sponged blue ink on the winds and body of the bird before assembling it and adhering it to the top right of the card.

I have die cut a range of leaves from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery and adhered them on the bottom left of the card. I die cut the flowers out of blue and purple cardstock and sponged the edges with Lavender Fields ink before assembling them and adding them over the leaves.

To finish I have stamped the sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studio Perfect Sentiments stamp set in Jet Black ink on white cardstock. I have die cut this with the coordinating die and also die cut another plain die. These were adhered together with the stamped image on top and adhere to the bottom right of the card.

Celebrating Your Special Day with Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Rose

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations5 Comments

I really am getting a little obsessed with the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers dies. Today I have the Lovely Layers Rose to share with you. I have used the same shading technique I used for my peony and it came out lovely. Roses are my favourite flowers and I especially love the Double Delight Rose which is a beautiful full rose with yellow centres and dark pink edges and the most amazing scent. I have tried to replicate this rose with the colours I have used. And every rose deserves an elegant frame and for my card I have used one of my favourite frames from Heartfelt Creations – Fancy Classic Oval Frame. I have gone with my favourite style with a white on white background which allows the pretty rose to pop out and be the hero of the card.

My Project

I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ card base out of white cardstock. I then cut a piece of white cardstock 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and embossed it using the Spellbinders Tufted 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of the card. I die cut two frames out of white cardstock using the dies from the Heartfelt Creations – Fancy Classic Oval Frame. These were stacked together and added to the front of the card with foam strips. I then added a plain oval from the die to the centre of the frame.

I die cut all the flowers and leaves from white cardstock and coloured them with pink, yellow and green inks (listed below the photos). The rose, bud and leaves were assembled according to the instructions from the Honey Bee Stamps website using some foam tape for more dimension. I die cut a plain stem and leaves out of green cardstock and adhered the coloured stem and leaves to it to create more strength for the leaves and stem. The stem, full rose and bud were then added to the centre of the frame.

I stamped the sentiment from an old Heartfelt Creations stamp set – Heartfelt Sentiments in Jet Black ink on white cardstock and die cut this out using the long eyelet rectangle from the Heartfelt Creations Ticket and Tags die. I trimmed the edges and adhered the sentiment to the front of the card as shown.

To finish I have added some clear iridescent gems around the sentiment and the flower and added some Clear Wink of Stella to the rose, bud, stem and leaves for some subtle shine.

Spring is just around the corner here in New Zealand and the magnolias are out in bloom and the daffodils are starting to appear. Such a feast for the eyes after the long months of winter. Today I have another card to share with you today featuring the beautiful Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Magnolia Honey Cuts. This is such a pretty die set and the flowers are so easy to assembl and for this card I have paired the magnolia with some gorgeous Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery Honey Cuts for a card to celebrate spring that is just around the corner.

My Project

I have created a top fold 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card out of white cardstock. I have cut a piece of white card 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and die cut with the Honey Bee Stamps Delicate Daisy A2 Cover Plate Base. I ink blended some blue ink on one corner of the card and adhered this to the front of the card. I die cut two Delicate Daisy A2 Cover Plate Top out of white cardstock and stacked them together before adding the over the base cover plate.

I have die cut the leaves and greenery from the Honey Bee Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery Honey Cuts out of white cardstock and coloured them with inks and fine brushes. These were adhered to the bottom left of the card front.

I die cut the magnolia flower and leaves out of white cardstock and coloured them with inks and blending brushes. The flower was assembled using some foam strips for some dimension and added to the corner over the leaves. I have then trimmed the leaves and adhered them under the flower using some foam strips for dimension.

I have stamped the sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studio – Basic Banners Stamp Set in Obsidian pigment ink on white cardstock and die cut it with the coordinating die. I die cut another plain die and adhered the two together with the stamped sentiment on top. This was adhered to the card with foam tape.

To finish I added some blue iridescent gems to the flowers, sentiment and to the card front as shown.

Celebrating with Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Magnolia – Honey Cuts

I have a very pretty card to share with you today featuring the gorgeous Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers Magnolia – Honey Cuts. This is a beautiful flower with lots of details and was so easy to colour and put together. The pink flower really pops as I have used a complementary colour – green to coordinate with the pink. I am definitely going to invest in more Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers flowers as they are just stunning.

My project today

I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base out of white cardstock. I then layered black and white cardstock using my Crafty Corners. I cut a piece of white cardstock 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ and stenciled the brick background using Mint ink and the Gina K Designs – Stencils – Brick Wall. This was then added to the card front to create the base for the leaves and flowers.

I die cut the large leaves from the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Spring Greenery – Honey Cuts out of Neenah Classic Crest 80Ib White Cardstock. I coloured them with Fresh Pear, Grassy Knoll and Key Lime inks and shaped them lightly with my fingers. I then trimmed the ends and added them to the card front creating a corner on the lower left of the card.

I have die cut all the leaves and flowers from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers Magnolia – Honey Cuts out of Neenah Classic Crest 80Ib White Cardstock. I coloured the petals with Ballet Slippers and Sparkling Rose inks before assembling the flower using foam tape to pop the petals. I then die cut the leaves from the same card and coloured them with Mint, Meadow and Emerald City inks. These were shaped lightly using my fingers. I added the leaves to the bottom left over the larger leaves using some foam tape for dimension. I then added the magnolia to the top of the leaves with some foam tape.

I stamped the sentiments from the Pink Fresh Studio – Basic Banners Stamp Set in Altenew Obsidian Black ink on white cardstock and die cut with the coordinating die. I then die cut two more banners using plain cardstock and stacked three banners together with the stamped image on top. This was added to the top of the card as shown.

To finish I have added some clear iridescent gems to the card for a bit of sparkle.

Welcome back and today I have a sweet celebration card to share with you that would be perfect for any occasion for celebration be it a wedding, birthday or a special milestone. For my card I have used the gorgeous Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers – Dogwood Honey Cuts dies to create a pretty floral accent to the embossed background and beautiful layering dies from Marianne Designs. I have been enjoying mixing and matching different products from different companies to create my cards.

My Project

For my card today I have created a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ card and added an embossed layer using the Honey Bee Stamps Dogwood Blooms 3D embossing folder. I am so impressed with the embossing on this folder! I have then layered the gorgeous dies from the Marianne Designs LR0376 to create a frame for the beautiful layered dogwood blooms. I have die cut two bases for the flowers out of white cardstock and after stacking them together I have used Copic markers to colour the stems. I then die cut the flowers and leaves and coloured them with green and pink inks.

To finish the card I have added a hot foiled sentiment using the Pink Fresh Studio Perfect Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and coordinating die. And then I added some iridescent gems from Taylored Expressions.

Such a quick and easy card that took longer to decide what products to use than actually make the card.
