Hugs, Kisses and Rainbow wishes....... using Honey Bee Stamps to create the perfect card to send hope.

Good morning Crafty Friends,

I hope you are all doing well. I found that my card making has kept me occupied, during this lock down period. I wanted to make a batch of cards to send out to love ones at this time. I wanted them to know we are thinking about them. Seeing as the rainbow is the symbol of hope, and is being used a lot during this pandemic I thought the set from Honey Bee Stamps was just what I was looking for. I need a quick and simple design to mass produce as I wanted about six.

Ranger Glossy Accents

Diamond Dew Drops (Lucy's Little Things)

6 x 6 " Card Blank

Method

Cut a piece of neenah to 5.5 x 5.5 ". Mask of the the bottom third of the card, leaving a 2" border at the top.

Getting your cloud stencil, use your blending brush or tool. Blend on the distress ink. Rotate the clouds to obtain a realistic sky.

Now remove the masking paper, and on a separate piece stamp the rainbow in alcohol friendly ink. Colour your image using your markers.

I fuss cut mine out the mounted it on some double sided tape.

Before adding it to my panel, I lined up where I wanted my sentiment and stamped that first in black ink.

Remove backing from rainbow and attach to your panel. mount this on to your card blank. Then add glossy accents to your rainbow and finally add your dew drops A very quick and simple card.

Stay Safe

and Happy Stamping

Hey, Chick "Sending You Lot's of Love, using Honey Bee's Spring Chicken Stamps

Well Hello Crafty Friends,

I hope your all staying well. I'm living in the craft room at the mo. I have had a real good look, at what I have and how I love to store everything in rainbow order. Papers, Pencils, Pens, and even down to Embellishments.

I find I am a visual crafter, if I see it I will use it. Also I been watching CZ Design's on YouTube, explaining the design element to card making.

Any way here's what ive been up to.

4 x 6" Card Blank

Gell Roll Pens Black and White

Nuvo Crystal Glaze

Clear Sequins

Method

First stamp out you chicks in a straight line. then I added the sentiment.

I then took the spotty stamp and used it as the ground on to my project.

I then selected my colours. I chose rainbow order, think ive gone rainbow mad. Also I went faintly around the stamping with my blender brush using tumbled glass distress ink.

Once this was done I glued it to my card blank and added some crystal glaze to the crest and beak's.

Finally I added some clear sequins from my stash.

A cute and simple card letting someone know you haven't forgotten them.

Happy Stamping

Random Little Star Stamp

Neenah 80lb Cardstock

Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Card Stock

Various Card Blanks.

Method

Firstly I picked out the letters I wanted to stamp and lay, them out in the design so I could work out what size card blank I needed.

Then I picked out my colours Rainbow, Pinks, Blues or Ombre ink colours as in the FORTY card.

I then lined each letter on to an acrylic block and slowly stamp out my words.

When the word was complete I added the string stamp, to the bottom of the balloon. also I added some random stars.

Finally I used a white jelly roll pen to add high light.

I just keep coming up with loads of ideas, I have shown five today.

Ombre

Pastel ( Innocent Pink and Sea Glass inks)

I do hope you enjoyed having a look at the blog today. 

Happy Stamping

A Softer Look, At Another Card Made with Pencils using My Favorite Thing's Sky High.

Good Morning,

I do hope you are all well. Today I decided to pull out the pencils, again as I forgot how great they are.

I think pencils are under estimated as a medium.

This very simple card, has three stages.

Stage One, Stamp your images,and use your pencils to color it in.

Stage Two, mat and layer the card on to the black card and using foam tape attach to your card blank. Stamp your sentiment in black and add to the card.

Stage Three, add your embellishments.I used Washi Tape and Nuvo drops.

I loved now I could build up the colour and I had much more control with the end result.

Thank You
