"You Are Loved" Post Box Shaped Card

Hello, and happy February, crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing this card I made with Honey Bee Stamps awesome Post Box Card Base Honey Cuts!  My goal was to create a card with a more masculine feel to it.  Do you think I succeeded?

To create my Post Box Card Base card I placed the fold of an A2 card base just below the top edge of the Post Box die and ran it through my die cutting machine.

Next I unfolded the Post Box card base.  Then I placed the Spring Leaves A2 Pierced Cover Plate die over the front of the card and die cut it.  This give you a fun and subtle pattern for more interest on the card!

I die cut two of the dies for the Post Box from gray cardstock and used foam tape to adhere them to the card front.

The sentiment is from the Sealed With Love stamp set and fits perfectly on this die cut piece that's part of the Post Box set.  More foam tape adheres this to the card.

The little stamped envelopes are from the Love Is In The Air stamp set.  I die cut them with the coordinating die and glued them to the card.

I die cut two vines from the Lovely Layers: Greenery dies from green cardstock.  I used a few green Copic markers to add shading.

I trimmed one of the vines to fit near the top of the card and used glue and foam squares to adhere it.  I only needed to trim the overhanging bit of the vine on the bottom after I glued it to the card.

For a pop of color, I used a die from the Bold Backgrounds: Vines Of Love set and cut the hearts from red cardstock.  I glued them scattered along each vine.

Finally, I added a few pearl stickers from the Happy Hearts Pearl Stickers set.  I noticed that these pearls along with a lot of other pearl and gem stickers are now in the retiring category!  You can grab some at a reduced price!

The Post Box Card Base set is an oldie but goodie that is good for so many occasions!  I really like how this turned out and I hope you do too!  Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope it's a good day for you!

You're Amazing! | Honey Bee Stamps

 Happy 2022 crafty friends!  I hope the new year is off to a good start for you!   For my first card of the new year, I'm using Honey Bee Stamps' beautiful Love Is In The Air stamps and coordinating dies.  Once I had the images colored, this card came together very quickly!  Read on for the details.

First I created my 5" x 7" card base.  I adhered some teal card stock to the side-folding base.  Then I trimmed 80# Neenah to 4-¾" x 6-¾".  Then I used the Swirling Leaves Pierced A2 Cover Plate die to add the piercing to the card.  Now you may be saying, "wait, this is a 5" x 7" card and the cover plate is A2 sized!"  Well, I just turned the cover plate and placed it over the top half of the white card stock, ran it through my machine, then carefully positioned it on the bottom, and ran it through again.  Works like a charm!  I adhered the piece to my card with Bee Creative glue.

I stamped the images from the Love Is In The Air set with Intense Black ink and colored them with my Copic markers.  Here are the colors I used:  flowers and birds: R59, R29, R27, R35, & R43; birdhouse: BG09, BG49, BG15, C3, C1, & C00; leaves: YG17, YG25, & YG03.  I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Next I stamped the sentiment from the Inside: Kindness set with Bee Creative Clear Embossing ink, sprinkled it with white embossing powder, and heat set it.  I used the coordinating die to cut it out.

I used a combination of foam dots and Bee Creative glue to adhere the images and sentiment to the card front.  

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Have a wonderful day!
