Happiness is Springtime Blooms

Hello crafty friends!  If you are here from the Instagram hop, thank you!  If not, I hope you will check it out.  We are celebrating Honey Bee Stamps Simply Spring release today, and if you leave a comment on the stops, you will have a chance at an awesome gift card from Honey Bee!

I had so much fun inking up the die cuts from the Lovely Layers: Spring Greenery Honey Cuts!  I'm keeping this post super brief, but if you have any questions, please use the "contact me" form in the left column here.

For the card layers, I used the gorgeous Delicate Daisy - A2 Cover Plate Top & A2 Cover Plate Base!  I have had this cardstock in my stash forever!  I never thought I'd use it, but you know what they say: "never say never"!  LOL!  I die cut the top and bottom layers from it, then die cut the top layer three more times from 80# Neenah.  After glueing the layers together, I adhered them to an A2 card base.

Next I die cut all of the pieces in the Lovely Layers: Spring Greenery from 80# Neenah.  I used these Distress Oxide inks and sponge daubers to color the pieces (colors are also linked below):

  • Bundled Sage 
  • Shabby Shutters
  • Peeled Paint
  • Forest Moss
  • Victorian Velvet
  • Tattered Rose
  • Milled Lavender
  • Seedless Preserves

Press N Seal was my assist to glue the layers to the card.  (Note:  I did not glue down the flower and greenery tops to add dimension.)  Then I stamped a sentiment from the Garden Bouquet stamp set with Forest Moss Distress Ink.  I cut it out with the coordinating die.

I added some foam squares behind some of the leaves and flowers at the top for dimension.  Yes, I love dimension on my cards!!!

To top off the bouquet, I added a wax seal from the new Cherry Blossom Wax Stamper and the Simply Spring Wax melts.  I added some twine below the wax melt for fun!

I sure do thank you for stopping by today!  If you join me on the Instagram hop, please be sure to say hello, and that you came from here.  Have a wonderful and crafty day!
