A Day To Remember -- A Fun Stenciled and Die Cut Autumn Card

Hello, crafty friends!  I'm still loving to create autumn themed cards and I've made one today with Honey Bee Stamps Maker's Mix stencil set and coordinating dies!  I've added in a favorite older set called Lovely Layers: Autumn Bouquet for the floral details.

I began with an A2 sized piece of colored cardstock for my stenciling with the Maker's Mix stencil set.  I used mini blending brushes to add coordinating autumn colored inks through each of the six stencils.  Then I trimmed the piece to 4" x 5-¼".  I have all of the cardstock and inks in the list below.

Next I die cut colored cardstock with the middle sized Double Stitched Oval die.  I added foam tape to the back and adhered it to the stenciled panel.  Then I used my scissors to trim off the oval overhanging the panel.  I used glue to adhered this to an A2 sized piece of cardstock in the same color and then glued it to an A2 card base.

Next I die cut several different colored cardstocks with the dies in the Lovely Layers: Autumn Bouquet Honey Cuts.  Then I used glue to adhere the layers together.  I played around with various arrangements of the florals and then used a piece of Press N Seal to pick them all up.  I LOVE doing this to retain the arrangement I made!  I used foam squares and glue to begin adhering the bottom most die cuts.  I continued until all of the florals were adhered to the oval.

I die cut white cardstock with the pallet die from the Maker's Mix .  Then I used the Maker's Mix stencils to add color to the pallet with inks in colors that coordinate with the Autumn Bouquet die cuts.  I added thin foam tape to the back to adhere it at the bottom of the floral arrangement.

The sentiment is from the Don't Worry, Be Crafty stamp set and is stamped in black ink.  I cut it out with the coordinating Honey Cut.  To adhere it the sentiment, I added a double layer of foam strips on the right back and glue to the left to bring the sentiment to the same height as the paint palette.

I added a bit of bling with pearls from the Gingerbread Pearl Stickers set.

Snow Globe Christmas Card

 Happy Saturday!  Today there is an awesome Instagram hop to celebrate Honey Bee Stamps new Cozy Christmas release.  There will be two $50 gift cards awarded to two commenters in the hop!

I wanted to share photos and a few bits of info with you about the card I made.

I used the beautiful Believe In The Magic stamp set and coordinating dies for my card.  It is stamped with marker safe black ink and colored with my Copic markers.  I used the W warm gray markers to imitate a metallic base.

There are several different sentiments that fit where I stamped "joy" along with more sub sentiments in the Believe In The Magic set!  I cut the stamped images out with the coordinating dies.

The background layer is one I embossed using the highly detailed new Rustic Brick Wall 3D embossing folder.  I love the detail in the embossing!!

To bling up the snow globe, I added Star Dust Stickles to the stamped snow in the sky and the snow on the ground.  Then I added   I added a bunch of pearls from the Gingerbread Pearl Stickers.  There wasn't quite enough small ones in that pack and I found more of the same color in the Warm Pearls Pearl Stickers.
