Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers Vintage Reindeer mini card gift tag

Posted on by

Jennifer McGuire has inspired me to make so many shaped cards lately, I took it one step further and created a 3D mini card / tag to top my parents Christmas gifts this year.

The focal image is from the ever amazing Honey Bee stamps: Lovely Vintage Reindeer. Honey Bee provides layering guides for all their layering sets, so it was remarkably easy to assemble.

I created a mini card base with the largest tag for from a Mama Elephant set that I had in my stash, and filled the background with foliage from Winter Greenery

Honeybee – Baking Spirits Bright with Hoosier Cabinet Accessories

This is probably the easiest Christmas card I have ever been able to mass produce.

The wreath is actually from the limited edition paper pack, so all I really needed was the die cut accessories, all from the Hoosier cabinet die set.

Most of the kitchen ware I cut from white cardstock and inked with spun sugar & worn lipstick distress oxide inks. Gingerbread were cut from Kraft cardstock; and all were finished with a white gel pen to add a bit more dimension.

This card was part of the Honeybee Crop & Create workshop, and I ended up making a batch of these for an order placed by a work colleague. Best part is they are mail friendly as there isn’t a lot of dimension, especially if you choose not to add any foam tape to the base layer or accessories.

I ordered an obscene amount of the paper packs so that I could make these again for next Christmas!

My local scrapbooking supply store, Clipper Street, hosts “Crafty Hour” where they utilize collections fr various brands & they

As soon as I saw this collection I knew I had to join the workshop.

These cards were my own creation, based on inspiration I saw in the workshop. The collection had so much to work with: two ephemera packs, printed acetate, 6×6 and 12×12 along with die sets

These cards were the first time I got to use my Tim Holtz distress sprays & it really added a pop of shimmer and color

There was very little work to be done – the ephemera really made these cards so easy to design. Just a few die cut ferns (from the collection) and one stitched scalloped base panel and voila!

As part of our 2024 Fall Crop & Create Delivered workshops, Honeybee included this amazing Lovely Layers Hoosier Cabinet die set.

Yes, it has a lot of tiny pieces, but the it’s remarkably easy to work with!

Most of my pieces cut beautifully from coloured cardstock, or I used distress inks to color white 80lb cardstock to suit whatever color palette I wanted.

Using Honey Bee Metallic Mix pearls were perfect for the tiny drawer & door knobs. Enamel dots or Nuvo drops or anything you have in your stash could also work beautifully.

To add a festive twist, I pulled out my Lovely Layers Christmas Market Cart add on from Honey Bee and used the Bundt, pine boughs and stocking. Crimson cardstock from Spellbinders and white pieces inked with spun sugar oxide for the dishes and rustic wilderness for the boughs.

This is my 3rd fall Crop & Create Delivered event, and one of the workshops was led my Cathy Zielske of Concord & 9th using the stamps, die set & stencil set.

I had a ton of trouble getting the white embossing to look as good as Cathy’s, but it was better than horrible as Gina K always says, so I decided to do my best and just finish the card

All Concord & 9th color cardstock is from the newest release – watermelon, eucalyptus, rainforest, creamsicle

I just love these Washi panels from Pink Fresh Studio! When creating these I always mount the washi panels on 110lb cardstock to give them almost a chipboard ephemera feel.

For this batch, I mounted the washi ephemera pieces on the stitched Arch diecut from My Favorite Things, and added just a hint of a stenciled background using Lost Shadow distress oxide ink set the perfect backdrop for these gorgeous pieces.

Jenoblade hits another stamp set design out of the park with this Stuck Together stamp set & coordinating dies.

The images are a great size to use as a single focal images or together like I did.

Slime line finished card measures 3.5” x 6” and I used a stitched die to give a subtle frame along with a bit of squeezed lemon distress oxide ombré shading.

A few clear droplets to finish it off and it’s ready for sharing!

My Favorite Things has been hitting it out of the park with their card kits. This FoodTruck Kit collection was no different.

This collection was so cute I purchased the kit and all the add-on’s available

The first project I created was this ice cream truck. Pink is my favourite colour and works well with the sweet treats theme.

Although there are tiny pieces this was quite easy to assemble. I used the design team’s projects as inspiration and created this card.

A bit of white gel pen and voila! An easy project that was fun to create!

Jenoblade is my favorite illustrator with the My Favorite Things team. I just love the chubby adorable critter sets she creates – and each set has supporting images to easily create many different scenes.

This card was inspired by one of the design team members projects (nickynoocards) from the release. And with summer just around the corner here in the Pacific Northwest I was inspired to create with this set as soon as I got it.

I very often make cards with no sentiment so that I can keep them on hand for whatever occasion may come up.

This stamp & coordinating die set is available on the My Favorite Things website now – thanks for taking the time to stop by! 💛

With a nome de plume of “Wendie Bee”, I just had to have these Busy Bee stamps & coordinating dies from Honeybee Stamps.

I like to create cards without sentiments often so that I have a selection of cards handy for whatever I need.

Looking back across my posts lately, you’ll know I am a big fan of the mini slimline card. It’s great for using smaller images to create a scene without having a lot of white space.
