Honey Bee Stamps Bee Bold Blog Hop

Hello, friends! And welcome to Day 2 of the Honey Bee Stamps BEE BOLD Blog Hop! If you missed out on Day 1, you can find all of the details and the participants RIGHT HERE! Trust me, you are not going to want to miss any of it! I will have more details about the Hop and a special giveaway at the end of my post, so stay tuned for that!

This release is SO amazing! I have loved every single set that I've created with and can't wait to spend more time creating with all of the new goodies from this release. For today, I have two cards to share with you. Up first is a card created with the oh so adorable Warm Wishes and Warm Wishes Honey Cuts.

I adore this little guy! After stamping and coloring him in, I popped him up with dimensional foam on the front of my card. Along the top and bottom, I cut two strips of aqua card stock and stamped the argyle pattern to create a border for the bottom and top of my card. I stamped part of my sentiment directly on my card front and then stamped 'wishes' onto a strip of black card stock, using white ink.

I love the variety of tiny images in this set to decorate the sweater. I'm a heart girl, so I reached for that immediately! I stamped, colored and die-cut three and attached one to the center of the sweater …

and the other two along the top of my card! To finish my first card, I added a few clear sequins and gave my sweet fox a few freckles using a white gel pen!

My second card features a few new products … Bee Hive Stamp Set + Bee Hive Honey Cuts

+ Birds and the Bees Stamp Set + Birds and the Bees Honey Cuts + Scallop A2 Card Frames Honey Cuts + Hi Honey Stamp Set + Hi Honey Honey Cuts. 

I started by die-cutting a white scallop frame and stamped 'Life is sweeter' along the top and 'of you' along the bottom. Next, I stamped and die-cut the bee hive and attached that to the center. 

I stamped, colored and die-cut the bees and flowers and used those to embellish the bee hive. To complete my sentiment, I added my die-cut 'BEECAUSE'.

I mixed a few different products to create my card for today. I started by stamping, coloring and die-cutting my mug from Tea Time.

A Rainbow of Love and Smiles

These rainbow cards have been a labor of love. I started them way back in September and just recently completed them. It has been a multiple step process … a little bit one day and a little bit more another. Finally they are complete and I am so happy with the end result. You can find all of the supplies I used below. Now to send them off and brighten the day of a few special people!

Have a happy day, friends!

Honey Bee Stamps Spring Release Blog Hop - Day 2

Hi there, friends! Welcome to Day 2 of the Honey Bee Stamps Spring Release Blog Hop. You should have arrived here from the super talented Kelley & Emily's blog. Just incase you missed all of the inspiration from Day 1 you can go back where it started, right HERE, on the Honey Bee Stamps blog.

This was one of Honey Bee Stamps biggest, if not THE biggest, release so far and it truly is AMAZING! I feel so honored that I get to be a part of this sweet company and share my creations using their wonderful products. I had a hard time choosing which new sets to use and because of that I ended up using a few of the new products together.

I started with a white card base and then die-cut a white circle using the Double Stitched Circles Honey Cuts.  Next, I used the Sweet Stamp Set along with the Sweet Honey Cuts to create my sentiment. That was attached to my circle and then I moved onto the pretty flowers. 

After stamping and die-cutting my flowers, using the Spring Blossoms Stamp Set and Spring Blossoms Honey Cuts, I did a little messy water-coloring to color them in. I then assembled my card and finished it off by adding a few Clear Dew Drops.

Now it's time for a GIVEAWAY! Honey Bee Stamps is giving away two $50 gift certificates and 4 of the Bee Organized Prize Packs. To enter for a chance to win all you have to do is leave a comment  and show a little love on each of the blogs you hop to. Winners will be announced here on May 5th.

Happy hopping!

Happy Birthday with Honey Bee Stamps

I'm kicking off a brand new week with a masculine-ish card on the Honey Bee Stamps blog today. Hope you'll pop in for a visit!

2018 Stamping for Austism Awareness Blog Hop

Hello again, friends! April 2nd is Autism Awareness day and I'm so grateful to be joining the rest of the Honey Bee Stamps design team today to help raise awareness. Not only is Honey Bee Stamps sponsoring this great cause, but so many other wonderful companies and individuals are, as well.

The idea behind this blog hop is to paint the crafting community blue and fill it with words of encouragement!

I mixed a few sets together to create this 'I'll never desert you' card ... Blah Humbunny, Stick With Me and Prickly Sentiments. I also used the A2 Double Stitched Frames for my bunny and succulents to sit on. 

I started by stamping, coloring and die-cutting my bunny and all of my succulents and pots. You can see all of the Copic colors I used in the photo below. I set those aside and then die-cut my frames and attached those to my card front. I then added all of my plants and popped my bunny up right in the center with dimensional foam.

Here are the Copic colors I used.

My sentiment was also popped up with dimensional foam and then a few clear sequins were added to complete it!

There are so many more stops in this hop. Be sure to hop on over to Veronica Zalis' blog to see the full list of hop participants!
