Honey Bee Stamps & WOW Embossing Blog Hop

Hi Friends!!

Welcome to a very special Blog Hop collaboration with the
Honey Bee Stamps & WOW! Embossing Powder.

If you are hopping along, you should have come from Julie Hickey and the next on the hop is my friend Melissa Bickford.

For today's projects, I created my cards using the WOW! Opaque Pastel Pink Embossing Powder. It was so fun to create some clean & simples cards with a pop of pink embossing. I hope you enjoy these cards & are inspired to try them out yourself.

For this card I used the Love you Honey Cuts Die, the Stitched Scallop Circle Die set to create a focal point on the card. I used the embossing powder to emboss the dies and the strip of cardstock on the side. This way it was all coordinating in color. I added some heart embellishments to carry the pop of pink color throughout the card.

Here is a close up showing the Pastel Pink embossed dies.

For this card I used the Sweet Honey Cuts die and the heart embellishment to add a little something extra. I cut the die several times and created a background for the card using all white for a tone on tone look. I embossed the Sweet Honey Cut Die with the WOW Pastel Pink Embossing Powder to have a pop of color.

Here is a close up to show the embossing powder detail. I am in love with this pretty pastel pink!!!

Honey Bee Stamps & Misti Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Honey Bee Stamps and My Sweet Petunia's Misti Blog Hop! We are so glad you joined us for this fun collaboration blog hop. We have lots of talented ladies on both design teams that will surely inspire you along the way. Be sure to leave comments during the blog hop so you can be entered to win a Mini Misti and a $45 Honey Bee Stamps gift certificate!!

Hi Crafty Friends! Lisa here to share with you a fun Birthday card I created using some newly released Honey Bee Stamps products and the Mini Misti.

I have recently been browsing Splitcoast stampers forums and galleries. When doing so, I came across a technique that Lydia shared a video of. It looked so fun, I had to try it.
First I gathered my new Distress Oxide Inks in Cracked Pistachio and Worn Lipstick, Water, Craft Mat, Paint Brush and Cling wrap.

Once I had all that together, I wet my Tim Holtz Watercolor cardstock piece down with my Distress Sprayer. I then smooshed the ink onto my craft mates and began spreading it all over my cardstock. As soon as I had good coverage I grabbed the cling wrap and tore a piece off and places it on top of the cardstock. This has to be done while it's wet.

You have to make sure you scrunch up the cling wrap real well. Then you set it aside to dry completely. Here is how they looked once dry and the cling wrap removed. Pretty cool, right??

Next, I grabbed my Mini Misti to start working on stamping my background. I wanted to create a look of patterned paper using my Hooray stamps. The Misti is perfect for this. You can line them up over & over to get the perfect stamped background. So fun, quick and easy. What a time saver this Misti is!!! A crafting must for all the stampers for sure!

Once I stamped the entire background I grabbed my Hooray & Rectangle Stitched Border Honey Cut dies to cut out the word and border.

I then used the distress oxides again to blend a background for the balloons from the Celebration Box Set This makes it super easy, just color, stamp and cut!!
