Celebrate Spring with Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Magnolia Honey Cuts

Kia ora Koutou

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.
