Hello crafty friends! Can you believe we are half way through November?! That makes me super happy to be creating cards with products from Honey Bee Stamps' Cozy Christmas release! My card today features some new products along with a few pieces from previous releases. Today I've used:
- Sending Christmas Joy as the main feature of my card.
- Postcard Holiday Add-On: I used the holly/berries die and the pine branch die only.
- Time To Go Postcard: I used the die for the stamp.
- Postmarked stamp set: I used the postmarked stamp (the wavy lines on the stamp).
I stamped the floral images from the Sending Christmas Joy stamp set onto 80# Neenah with Intense Black Ink. Then I used Copic markers to color them. I used: R59, R29, R27, R35, G29, YG67, G94, YG63, G43. Then I cut them out with the coordinating Honey Cuts.
Next I stamped the postage stamp outline from the Sending Christmas Joy onto a dark green cardstock with black pigment ink and cut it out with the coordinating die. I adhered this to some green checked paper from the Gingerbread Village paper pad. Then I adhered those layers to an A2 card base.
I stamped the "20¢" in red ink and cut it out with the coordinating die.
Next I die cut the pine branches and holly/berries (Postcard Holiday Add-On) from dark green cardstock. I added thin lines of glue to the pine branches and then sprinkled on iridescent chunky glitter and set the pieces aside to dry.
I die cut the stamp (Time To Go Postcard) once green cardstock and again from white cardstock to use only the center portion. I taped the green and white die cuts of the stamp together on the back and placed it into my MISTI. Then I used dark green ink to stamp the postmark (Postmarked stamp set) onto the stamp. I glued the "20¢" to the stamp and stamped the postmark again, without re-inking the stamp.
Then I arranged all of the elements and used glue and foam dots to adhere them to the card. The sentiment from the Sending Christmas Joy stamp set was stamped in black ink and cut out with the coordinating die.
I hope I've given you another idea for these beautiful sets to use for your holiday card. Thank you so very much for stopping by!
