Gee I can’t believe we are into September already and Christmas is coming whether we like it or not! Today I have used the Honey Bee Stamps Buzzworthy Challenge on Facebook to get some more Christmas Cards done. The challenge was to make a project using stripes and they were perfect for my cards.

For my card I have created a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of white cardstock. I made the stripes for the background using the Pink Fresh Studio Plaid Press Plate on my Glimmer machine using Prism foil on Hammermill cardstock for a more holographic finish to the background. This was trimmed to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and matted to silver cardstock before adhering to the card front. I added a circle frame using the Amazing Paper Grace Hemstitch Oval dies – I have embossed the white circle die cut and added a silver shadow before adding to the top half of the card using some foam strips for more dimension.

I added foliage to the bottom half of the circular frame using the Honey Bee Stamps:Lovely Layers – Winter Greenery Die set – branches, pine leaves, and mistletoe.

The gorgeous poinsettia is from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Poinsettia Honey Cuts and I have coloured the flower with pink inks before assembling together using some foam squares for more dimension and I used some silver glitter card for the centre of the poinsettias. The poinsettia was then adhered over the foliage using foam squares. The leaves were coloured with green inks and then added under the poinsettia as shown. To finish the poinsettia I have added some sparkle by using a fine tip on my adhesive bottle on the flowers and sprinkling Sparkling Dust to create some subtle sparkle without being over the top.

The robin is from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Birds Honey Cuts and was perched above the poinsettia on the left of the frame.

I was feeling lazy and added a sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studio Foiled Sentiments 4 Holiday Pack in silver to the top right of the frame with foam squares in the centre to keep the sentiment level. (Actually to be fair I do not have many Christmas sentiments that can be hot foiled).

To complete the card I have added some silver pearls around the sentiment and around the frame.

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.

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.
