Will You Be My Galentine? | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello my friends!  For my card today I'm using one of the stamps from Honey Bee Stamps Loads of Love stamp set in a bit of an unexpected way!  This set is designed to be used with the Big Pickup Tailgate stamp to add adorable things to the back of the truck.  But I had this idea in my head to use it like this!

I started by stamping and die cutting two of the flower swags from the Loads of Love stamp set and coordinating Honey Cuts.  I colored one swag with my Copic markers (colors listed below) and then decided to make sure my idea would actually work on an A2 size card!  Haha!  Here's a photo where I was trying it out.

Ok, so my idea will work!  I colored the remaining swag and then created the card base.  I die cut a piece of patterned paper from the Love Letters paper pad with the largest A2 Double Stitched Frames die.  I used the next to smallest A7 Double Stitched Frames die to cut 80# Neenah into a rectangle shape.  I die cut some gray card stock to layer behind both of these pieces and adhered the layers with Bee Creative glue.  I glued the patterned paper layer to the top-folding card base.  I added foam tape to the white card stock layer and adhered it to the card.

To adhere the two floral swags, I added bits of foam tape to the back where it extends beyond the white rectangle layer.  I added Bee Creative glue to the rest of the swags and adhered them to the card.  I took care to make sure that the flowers did not go past the edges of the card.  Next I stamped the sentiment from the Will You Be My stamp set in gray ink and die cut it with the coordinating Honey Cuts.   Then I added foam tape to the back of the sentiment and adhered it to the card.

To add a bit of bling I added some yellow gems I found in the Autumn Afternoon Gem Stickers.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I hope the new year is off to a good, and crafty, start for you!
