Honey Bee Stamps Buzzworthy Challenge Birthday Card

I have another card for the Honey Bee Stamps Buzzworthy Challenge tic-tac-toe competition. This time I have made a card for a male family member embossing folder-twine-masculine card. As soon as I saw this very cute VW van from Honey Bee Stamps I had to get it as this person used to own a VW van and has now got a VW Beetle. He is also an avid gardener and I added some leaves and foliage to create a background for the van. To fulfill the brief for the tic-tac-toe I have used the Honey Bee Stamps Burlap 3D embossing folder and added twine around the fence posts and of course the card is ‘masculine’.

For my project I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of white cardstock. I stenciled some clouds and grass on a piece of 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card and embossed it with the Burlap embossing folding before adding it to the front of the card.

I die cut the foliage and lavender from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery die set out of green and lilac cardstock and added some green ink to change the colours before adding the foliage to the front of the card to sit behind the fence. I then die cut the fence from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Barn Wood Fence out of white cardstock and coloured it with some grey ink before assembling it. I wound the twine around the posts before I adhering the fence to the card with some foam tape over the background foliage. I then added more foliage to the front of the card as well as some violets from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – April Showers die set.

I die cut the van from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Beach Bound die set out of white and silver cardstocks and coloured it with red, yellow, black and grey inks. For the windows I lightly coloured the die cuts with light blue ink and then hot foiled it with Opal foil to create the shiny effect. I assembled the van and added it to the front of the fence with foam tape.

To finish the card I added the sweet bird from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – April Showers die set and a stamped and die cut sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps: Celebrating You Stamp and Die Set.

A Masculine Card for BMW Lovers

Today I have a masculine card that is perfect for those who love BMW cars. I was asked to do a BMW themed card for my husband’s colleague and I ended up making two cards for her to choose from with a BMW theme and this was one of the cards. I have used the BMW colours Black, Blue and White (although the blue is not exact) to create this card and the Heartfelt Creations French Courtyard Dies was perfect to frame an approximation of the BMW Logo. I added some more shine and sophistication to the card with a silver hot foiled sentiment from Spellbinders and I also added a sentiment to the inside of the card to make this an extra special card. The BMW logo has been made using a combination of the Heartfelt Creations Basic Circle Dies – Large and Small and the Heartfelt Creations Letters and Numbers Dies and I was very happy with how it turned out. This card is really quite dramatic and perfect for anyone men or women who are into this brand of car.

Sea Breeze Happy Birthday Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

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.
