Sea Breeze Happy Birthday Card

Today I am sharing a card I made for my brother-in-law for his birthday. He is a keen sailor and loves the ocean so I made a special card for him using a combination of Heartfelt Creations Sea Breeze and Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers dies. The Heartfelt Creations Ornate Window Cling stamp and coordinating die set is one I use a lot and here I have created an ornate window frame looking out onto a seascape with a light house and finished it with dogwood flowers and a cute bird.

My Project

I have made a side folding 5″ x 7″ base card out of white cardstock. I then layered gold and light green paper on the front.

I stamped the light house image from the Heartfelt Creations Sea Breeze Harbour cling stamp set on X-Press It card and coloured it with Copic markers. I stamped a plain image of Magic Masking Paper and trimmed it to cover the image I had coloured. I then ink blended some sky in the background using the Waffle Flower Cloud Stencil and ink blended the sea with pale yellow and blue inks. I then die cut it out with the plain window die from the Heartfelt Creations Ornate Window Frame cling stamp set and adhered it to the front of the card.

I then stamped the window frame image twice from the Heartfelt Creations Ornate Window Frame Cling stamp on gold cardstock and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I die cut one full frame including the window panes and the window, and one ornate heading from these images. I glued the window to some acetate and then trimmed to fit the window. I added the outside decorative frame to the front of the coloured image with foam tape and then added the window inside the frame.

I die cut the bird from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Birds Honey Cuts using grey, black and white colours to represent seagulls and added it to the top right of the window frame. I then die cut the dogwood flowers from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Dogwood Honey Cuts and assembled them and added them to the bottom left of the window frame.

To finish I stamped the sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps Mini Sentiments Stamp set in Jet Black ink on white cardstock and die cut it with the coordinating die. This was added to the window frame as shown.

Just a Little Note from Honey Bee Stamps

I have been going through my considerable craft stash and found this Stitched Lattice Frames die from Creative Expressions. I do love the gorgeous stitched trellis background and thought it would be great to have this as a background for some pretty dogwoods and a sweet little birdie from Honey Bee Stamps. My inspiration again has come from Dawn at Wplus 9 Designs.

My project

I have created a side opening base card of 5″ x 6 1/8″. I die cut a piece of blue cardstock using the second smallest die from the Stitched Lattice Frames die and adhered it to the front of the card. I die cut two lattice frames using the lattice and smallest frame dies – one from blue and one from white cardstock. These were adhered together and adhered to the front of the blue card front. I die cut two white frames using the two smallest frame dies from the Stitched Lattice Frames dies and adhered the together and added it to the front of the card using foam strips.

I stamped the sentiment from the Beccy’s Place Magnolias stamp in Jet Black ink on white cardstock and die cut it out using the smaller Stitched Scallop circles die from Pink Fresh Studio. I die cut another two circles and adhered three outside circle frames and two inner circle frames together and added them to the front of the card. I finished by adding the stamped image to the centre of the frame.

I die cut the dogwood branches out of white cardstock and coloured the branches with brown copic markers before adding all the flowers to the branches. I added one branch coming from the top right and one branch coming from the bottom left triming the ends of the branches.

I die cut the birdie out of grey, black, white and brown cardstocks and assembled them according to the instructions on the Honey Bee Stamps website. I added the bird to the left of the circle frame with foam squares. I added some more spare flowers and leaves to the base of the bird and the branches.

To finish I have added some blue iridescent gems around the sentiment.

Hello Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers Dogwood Flowers

I am really loving the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers Honey Cuts and I have another gorgeous card to share with yo featuring the Lovely Layers – Dogwood Flowers. This is such a gorgeous set and I have just purchased the birds from Honey Bee Stamps and I can’t wait to make some more cards with the flowers and birds together. I love the soft pastels of these flowers and they really pop with the blue ink blended background.

My Project:

I have made a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and ink blended blue and pale yellow inks. I die cut two Honey Bee Stamps Delicate Daisy A2 Cover Plate Top out of white cardstock, glued them together and the added this to the front of the card.

I die cut two base layers of the Dogwood dies and adhered them together. I then coloured the stems with brown copic markers to create the branches. The flowers and leaves were die cut separately and coloured using Pink Fresh Studio inks – Grassy Knoll, Key Lime and Bubble Gum. These were added to the branches and I then added the branches and flowers to the front of the card as shown.

To finish I added a sentiment from the Spellbinders Be Bold Glimmer Sentiments that had been hot foiled with Matte Gold.
