I Miss You Florals

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a card I created using the Honey Bee Stamps Spring Blossoms stamp & Spring blossoms Honey Cut dies. These florals are some of my favorite images from this release!!

I colored these florals using Copic R22, R32 and R11. The sentiment is one I just adore                                             from the Love Bug Sentiment stamp set.

  I also used the Branch & Leaves Honey Cut dies. I also used the Best Parents stamp set.                            To color the flowers I used Copic Markers: R11, R22, R32. 

For the tree branch and leaves, I used: YG03, YG67, YG99, E15, E25, E27, E29. For the                                 background, I used Distress Oxide ink in Peacock Feathers. 

Thank you so much for stopping by! 

Happy Crafting, Lisa

Honey Bee Stamps & Ellen Hutson UWF Campaign: Sending Sunshine

Hi Friends!!

I am so excited to be participating in the blog hop to celebrate the Sending Sunshine set!

For today's projects, the first card I created was a sending sunshine bright and happy card. I am a native Houstonian and this set couldn't come at a better time! My beloved city, well a lot of our state is a disaster area. My heart breaks for my fellow Texans & this was a bright spot in a very dismal time. Please read below for information on what Honey Bee Stamps is doing to support Texas!!!! Affiliate links are provided below, a portion of the proceeds will be donated back to my community for the Disaster Recovery.

For this card I used the Honey Bee Stamps layering Sunburst stencil and some Moonstone Nuvo Glimmer Paste to create the fun shimmery sunburst! I tinted it yellow by using a little Distress Ink Refill dropper in fossilized Amber.

The Stitched Cloud Border Honey Cuts are so perfect to layer. I chose to split them up for a totally different look, but they are stitched inside & out so that you can layer them. You will notice a tint on the edges, I used Distress Oxide Ink to lightly ink the edges in peacock feathers. It added a slight touch of blue to brighten up the borders of the clouds. 

I used the coordinating dies to cut the Sending Sunshine Sentiment out of yellow cardstock. I then added Nuvo Crystal Glaze on top of the sentiment to give it additional dimension and shine. What a fun set!

For my second card I used another set released by Honey Bee Stamps. This card I used the A2 Sunburst Coverplate die and the Ray of Sunshine stamp set. 

I used all Distress Oxide Inks to shade the sun. (Candied Apple & Fossilized Amber) I love the look of light to dark for the sun.

Next, I cut the word sunshine from the coordinating Ray of Sunshine Honey Cuts die set and added a layer of Nuvo Crystal Glaze to it for additional dimension. Don't you love the shadow for this die??!!

Also, I want to mention that Honey Bee Stamps is Sending Sunshine to Texas.

Melissa, the Honey Bee Stamps owner made this gorgeous card in support of this campaign.  For the State of Texas and helping with the recovery, she is donating a portion of the sales to the JJ Watt Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund. This fund gives 100% of all donations back to those in need.

A Honey Bee Hello!

Today I am sharing a fun card that I created using Honey Bee Stamps products. 
*In order to support my blog, Affiliate links are used where available at NO cost to you. Thank you for your support!*

First off, I cut the Stacking Hexagon Cover plates dies and cut them using Bazzill Basics cardstock.  
Once I had them all cut, I layered each one using the Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive because it gives you a minute to get it situated and dries clear! I used Scor-Tape on one of the bee images. I just love how strong it is!

 Next up I stamped and cut out the Busy Bee stamp set & coordinating dies and the Hello set and coordinating Honey Cut dies.  

I embossed the word Hello using the Hero Arts Heat Tool and some Nuvo Crystal Clear Embossing Powder and Avery Elle Mimosa Pigment Ink. 

 I colored the bee images in with my Copic Blending Trio Markers on some Neenah Classic Crest Smooth 110 lb cardstock. 

I also put the Hampton Arts Mini Action Wobblers behind the two Busy Bee stamps  just to make the card that much more fun!

I hope you enjoyed my project today.  Thanks for looking and have a fantastic day!!

For my first project I created a fun coffee shaker card using the Blah Bunny stamp set and Blah Bunny Honey Cut Dies. For the sentiments, I used Blah Blah Blah & Prickly Sentiments. I used the Petal Peach Sequins  & Clear Iridescent Mix packets to fill my shaker.

To create the frames for the shaker card, I used the rectangle double stitched  Honey Cut Dies. I also used 3M foam tape, Stick It & Score tape to make sure the cardbase & frames stayed in place well.

I used the Altenew grey mini ink cubes to make a background for the inside of the shaker box. Once I blended the ink in with the Nuvo blender brush, I spritzed water using the Tim Holtz Distress Sprayer to create some texture on the Neenah cardstock.

For my second card  I used the coffee cups from the Blah Bunny stamp set and Blah Bunny Honey Cut Dies.. I colored them in with my copic markers and then stamped the steam, hearts and dots to enhance the images.

Once I finished those images, I used the rectangle double stitched  Honey Cut Dies to create a frame.



I then took the hugs Honey Cut die and added glossy accents to make the word a little dimensional and shiny. I added a piece of patterned paper from the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Rainbow 6X6 paper pack. To finish the card off, I added in a Starbucks' gift card. This is the perfect pick me up to send to a friend!

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!!

Here is a close up of the finished card.
