Lots Of Butterflies For Birthday Wishes

Happy Wednesday crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing my card that features Honey Bee Stamps beautiful All Things New stamps and coordinating dies along with the Bold Background: Chinoiserie.

I absolutely love a textured white background on a card and the Bold Background: Chinoiserie was perfect for this.  I die cut all of the pieces of the die set from 80# Neenah cardstock.  After I printed off the Layering Guide (available in the product description on the website) I used Bee Creative glue to adhere all of the layers together.

Then I glued this gorgeous piece onto an A2 white card base.  I set this aside while I colored the butterflies from the All Things new stamp set.

Next I stamped all of the butterflies in the All Things New stamp set with Intense Black ink onto 80# Neenah.  I used various Copic markers to color each one.  I mostly stuck with blue, yellow, and orange shades.

I die cut all of the butterflies with the coordinating All Things New Honey Cuts.  I used my fingers to gently shape and curve the butterfly wings.  To adhere them I added glue just to the back of the butterfly body.  I added a small piece of foam tape to the back of the blue butterfly's wing (upper right corner) to support the wing dimension.

I stamped one of the sentiments from the All Things New stamp set with black pigment ink.  There are seven in this set to choose from!  Then I cut it out with the coordinating die.  I added a foam tape strip on the back right side of the sentiment to adhere it.

For a bit of bling, I added gem stickers from the Back To Basics set.

I love how this turned out!  The textured white on a white card really makes the I love how this turned out!  The textured white on a white card really makes the butterflies pop!  I hope you know how much I appreciate you for stopping by today!  Thank you!

Using Floral Stamps in a Different Way with the Lovely Layers Butterfly

Hello crafty friends! I love trying to think of different ways to use Honey Bee's beautiful floral stamp sets; and instead of coloring the Framed: Anemones, I heat embossed it onto vellum! The star of the card is the fabulous butterfly from the Lovely Layers: Bugs Honey Cuts. Keep reading for the details on how to make this card!

First I cut a piece of patterned paper from the Beach Vibes paper pad (one of my VERY most favorites!) to 4-¼" x 5-½" and adhered it to an A2 card base with Bee Creative glue.

Next I stamped the Framed: Anemones onto 40# vellum with Bee Creative Clear Embossing ink. I sprinkled on silver embossing powder and heat set it. Then I used my scissors to trim off the outer portion of the frame, cutting around the leaves that extend beyond that line. I decided to do this so that the beautiful striped paper shows some and for added interest to the card. I adhered the vellum piece with small dots of Bee Creative glue.

Next I die cut the butterfly from the Lovely Layers: Bugs from 80# white cardstock. Then I used Copic markers to color it. The Copics I used are: BG09, BG15, BG13, BG32, BG11, and E79. I adhered the layers together with glue, popping up the body portion with some foam dots. I just love the details that are embossed onto the butterfly's wings when you die cut it. Check out this close up photo.

I chose the "celebrate" sentiment from the Tag, You're It: Celebrations set and stamped it with Intense Black ink. I used the coordinating Honey Cut to die cut it and then popped it up with foam dots. I love this sentiment because I can use it for a birthday, anniversary, or any occasion that calls for a celebration!

I added some sparkle and shine with a clear glitter pen on the butterfly's wings and gems from the Back To Basics Gem Sticker set.

This was a fun card to make, and I really hope that I've given you some inspiration on a different way to use your Honey Bee floral stamp sets! Thank you so much for stopping by!
