So Hoppy - Honey Bee Stamps Spring Bliss Instagram Hop

Hello friends!  I'm so happy you've hopped over here from the Honey Bee Stamps Spring Bliss Instagram hop!  For my card today, I've used the new Loads of Spring stamps and coordinating Honey Cuts that were created to coordinate with the Big Pickup Cab and Big Pickup Tailgate sets.  I love these and, as you can see, they are so versatile for any occasion!

I'm going to keep my card descriptions brief so you can get back to the hop!  I made my card using both the Big Pickup Cab and the Big Pickup Tailgate for a double-sided card!  When you die cut the two, they are mirror images that can be adhered at the top by creating a simple little hinge.

I stamped all of the images with Copic safe ink onto 80# Neenah solar white card stock.  Then I colored them with my Copic markers.  I used the coordinating Honey Cuts to cut them out.  I have all of the supplies listed below with links for you to check them out!

I stamped the sentiment from the Hoppy Easter set onto 80# Neenah, first with Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide, then with Versamark clear ink.  I sprinkled on clear embossing powder and heat set it.  Next I die cut it with the coordinating Honey Cuts.

Here are the views of the front and back (or is it the back and front? Haha) of the card.

Big Pickup Merry Christmas Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Happy December my friends!  Today I'm sharing a card I made using Honey Bee Stamps SO adorable Big Pickup Cab stamp set and Honey Cuts.  I'm sure you've seen how some people add tinsel, wreaths, or reindeer accessories to their cars and trucks for the holidays, right?  I've never done that, but I love it when I see the decorated automobiles!  So now you know the inspiration for my card! :)

Here are my steps, in list form, for this card:

• Die cut the largest Scallop A7 Card Frames Honey Cuts and adhere to a side-folding A7 card base.
• Die cut the Birch A2 Cover Plates top and base, adhere together and adhere to a panel inked with blue ink. Trim the edges to fit the upper portion of the scallop layer.  I used the Bee Creative glue to adhere it to the panel.
• Die cut the Hills Borders to fit within the stitched lines of the scallop layer.  Add thin foam tape to each layer.  Here's a photo to help you visualize the work in progress.  Adhere the layers to the card.

• Next I stamped the Big Pickup Cab and die cut the Pickup Cab Honey Cuts and the wreath from the Threshold Card Builder with white cardstock.  I colored them with Copic markers.
• After I built the wreath, I adhered it to the front of the pickup hood.  Then I added some red gem stickers from the Holiday Cheer gem stickers set.
• I had a bow that I made and saved from a few weeks ago and added it to the wreath.  This bow is in the Lovely Layers: Pinecone Honey Cuts.  Of course, you can use ribbon or twine for a beautiful look too.
• I added foam tape to the back of the cab and adhered it to the card.
• Next I die cut cardstock that I colored to match with the top layer of the Merry Honey Cuts.  I die cut two of these from white cardstock and adhered them together.  I stamped and die cut the sentiments in the Merry stamp set with the Sentiment Banners.
• I skipped the middle layer and die cut the base with some white sparkle cardstock.  Then I added the other layer with glue.

To finish it off with more sparkle, I used a clear glitter pen to sparkle up the hills the bow, and headlights on the truck.

Did you know there's a coordinating Big Pickup Tailgate to make a double-sided card with?  I can't wait to try that out!  Thank you so much for stopping by!  I sure hope I've inspired you to give this awesome set a try.  Have a wonderful, and crafty, day!
