Gingerbread Lane Christmas Card

Hello crafty friends! Can you believe it's only one week until Christmas?! I absolutely love making Christmas cards and just had to share another one with you that features the beautiful Lovely Layers: Alice's Gingerbread Lane Honey Cuts.

I went all out on the sparkles for this card! Haha! I die cut the pieces for the gingerbread house #2 from the Lovely Layers: Alice's Gingerbread Lane dies. These were cut from white and brown cardstocks. I decided on a white iced gingerbread house with peeks of the gingerbread. The other layers are die cut from red and silver glitter paper that I have in my stash.

I also die cut two of the trees from brown and white cardstocks. The green tree is paper that I inked up with Bundled Sage Distress Oxide ink.

Then I used the Layering Guide to assist me as I glued the layers of the Gingerbread House together with Bee Creative glue. Be sure to also use your reverse tweezers and glue with a fine tip to make the layering lots easier.

While the glued layers were drying, I layered my A2 card base with more silver glitter cardstock and then a 4" x 5-¼" panel that I embossed with the gorgeous Snowflakes 3D embossing folder.

I hand trimmed more silver glitter cardstock into a hill for my scene. I used glue to adhere the Gingerbread house and foam dots (cut smaller with scissors) to adhere the trees.

I stamped a sentiment from the Wonder of Christmas stamp set in black ink. Then I cut it out with the coordinating dieand popped it up on the card with foam tape strips.

I decided I want a bit more sparkle and added three Layering Snowflakes that I had saved from another project.

I love all of the sparkles, and hope you do too! Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your week leading up to the holidays!

Joy To The World & Vintage Holiday Instagram Hop | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello crafty friends!!  Today I'm sharing a card that's part of a fun Instagram hop to celebrate Honey Bee Stamps gorgeous Vintage Holiday release!  I've used the new Sleigh Bells Ring stamp set and coordinating dies and the new Bitty Buzzwords: Holidays to create my beautiful snowy scene.

I started by creating my background.  On an A2 sized 80# Neenah Solar White card I inked some light blue ink around the edges with a Background Blender Brush.  Then I placed the Snow Day background stencil over it and spread some Deco-Art Snow-Tex through the stencil.  I love how bright white the Snow-Tex is!  I set it aside to dry and cleaned up the stencil and my tools.  After it was dry, I adhered it to a top-folding A2 card base.

Next I stamped the sled and rope from the Sleigh Bells Ring stamp set with some brown-grey inks.  I used a bit darker ink to stamp the woodgrain of the sled.  I die cut it with the coordinating dies.   Then I stamped the other images from the set with Intense Black Ink and colored them with my Copic markers.  Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Then I arranged the pieces on the sled, adhering with Bee Creative Glue and some foam squares.  I added thin foam tape to the back of the sled.  Next I die cut the Joy from Bitty Buzzwords: Holiday die set three times from white card stock and the shadow layer once.  I colored the top layer with a matching blue Copic and adhered the layers together.  I stamped the "to the world" from the Bitty Buzzwords: Holidays stamp set in light blue ink, trimmed it into a strip and adhered it to the "Joy".

I added some layered snowflakes that I die cut with the small flakes from the Layering Snowflakes die set. I added a sparkly gem sticker from the Vintage Holiday Gem Stickers set.

After I adhered the sled and snowflakes to the card I added some fun bling by using a clear glitter pen on the "joy" and the white poinsettia.  Then I added drops of Red Berry Nuvo Crystal Drops to each berry.

I hope you enjoyed my card making process and will join us over on Instagram to see the beautiful projects from the team.  Also, there are prizes so be sure to check out my post for the details.  Thank you so much for stopping by!

Christmas Blessings | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello my friends!  I'm over on the Honey Bee Stamps blog today with this oh, so sparkly Christmas card!  These products are part of the huge, and so amazing, Season to Sparkle release.  Click HERE to see it all--there's something for everyone!

It was quite the challenge for me to photograph this card to capture the beautiful, sparkly glitter!  I started this card by adhering a sheet of Scor-Tape double-sided adhesive to a 4" x 5-¼" warm gray card panel.  I removed the backing and added some WOW! Glass Slipper glitter and then burnished it in.  I wanted a warm gray background to better set off the snowflakes.

I then die cut a bunch of snowflakes from the Layering Snowflakes Honey Cuts two times each.  FYI, there are 16 snowflake dies in this set!!  I adhered the layers together and began arranging them on the glittered panel.  I started arranging them from the center out, letting some hang over the edge.  Once I was happy I glued them all down with Distress Collage Medium Matte.  When it was dry, I cut off the parts hanging over the edge.  I used a few of those extra pieces to fill in along the edge.

Next, I stamped the greeting from Christmas Blessings in Versafine Onyx Black ink and die cut it with the coordinating Honey Cut.  I die cut the rectangle frame, also in the Christmas Blessings Honey Cuts, twice from white cardstock.  I adhered the two scalloped edge pieces together.  I covered some warm gray cardstock in double-sided adhesive and cut it out with the rectangle frame.  I just used the center portion and added glitter after removing the backing.  I popped up the pieces with foam tape and adhered the sentiment.

I love the dimension and the sparkle of this card!!   And....just to add a bit more sparkle cause there's not quite enough, I added a Prism Gem Sticker to the center of the snowflakes!

There are so many ways to use these beautiful snowflake dies, and I hope I've given you some inspiration to give this set a try! Thank you so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful, crafty day!
