Hi crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a cozy, retro-inspired card project that’s straight from the heart of the kitchen. This playful design features some of my favorite Honey Bee Stamps products — perfect for anyone who loves baking, vintage charm, … Continue reading
From the Valentines release this card made with the Honey Bee lovely layers, playing cards and lovely layers roll. The dice set took me quite a while to make. I love all the elements so much. I want to include everything so I had to very carefully plan out how to incorporate as many ill as I could without making the car look cluttered.
Using the exclusive car stock pack that came with the purchase as a free gift for the plane cards I love the glossy finish that the cards stock had. The embarrassing folder from the collection was that perfect subtle hint for the background I use a little bit of gold wax to highlight the raised images just to bring out the images a little bit more so you could see it underneath all of thr elements
For now, this card is done however, my next attempt I think this card at the site I’m going to try and make the rule that will spin. Wish me luck.!
I love to spoil my Dad at Christmas; he’s done so much for me that I want to show him how much it meant to me. So each year I try and make each gift just a little extra special with gift wrap and hand made tags that can be kept as keepsakes.
Using Alice’s Gingerbread Lane die set from Honeybee’s Christmas 2024 release, I used basic Kraft cardstock stock, inked some pieces with distress oxide inks to resemble sugar waffle cone roof, and pink glitter paper for icing. Confections just aren’t complete without sprinkles so I added some Crystal Effects to give them and the cherry a shiny glossy finish.
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
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.
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.
