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

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!

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.

My Favorite Things Gingerbread Greetings Card Kit

My Favorite Things really hit it out of the park with this Gingerbread Greetings card kit! The second I saw a preview I knew I had to have it.

Using the MFT snowfall stencil with Lawn Fawn pearl paste over a lightly blended distress ink background with spun sugar I recreated a background from one of the design team examples.

Using Kraft card stock with a very light splatter of Distress Oxide ink in gathered twigs to give it some texture, I also added just a light hint of shading to all the gingerbread pieces with Oxide gathered twigs as well to give it that freshly baked look.

I love this kit, and have so many more ideas on color combinations to use and various layouts I can do.
