Hope You're Feeling Honky-Dory -- Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, crafty friends!  I'm still having so much fun playing with Honey Bee Stamps' new Lovely Layers: Porch Goose from the new Fashionably Feathered release!  Today I've dressed this cute goose in an outfit from the Porch Goose Closet: Spring Honey Cuts. 

I made the background for the Goose with the Rustic Brick 3D embossing folder and a panel of white cardstock.  I used Bee Creative Glue to adhere the embossed piece to an A2 card base.  I hand cut a grassy hill from green cardstock and glued that to the card.

I die cut the Lovely Layers: Porch Goose from white cardstock.  I used a few Copic markers to color the beak, eye, cheek, and legs.  I die cut most of the images on this card with the awesome, new Platinum Scout die cutting machine.

Next I die cut various papers with the dies from the Porch Goose Closet: Spring from yellow cardstock, purple cardstock from the Hive Hues Garden Party cardstock pack and patterned paper from the Garden Party paper pad.

I used glue to adhere the Goose's layers together and added foam adhesive to the back to adhere it to the card.

The flowers are the small version of the Lovely Layers: Coneflower that's included with Honey Bee's brand new Platinum Scout die cutting machine.  I would estimate that the dies with the machine are about ½ the size of the original.  Check out this photo I took last week:

It's the cutest little die cutting machine!  I love the teal color and the bees and flowers that are on all sides of it.

I die cut the coneflower from white cardstock with the new Scout die cutting machine.  Then I used some purple and yellow inks and blending brushes to color the layers.  I used glue and foam adhesive to adhere the flowers to the card.  If you don't have these there are several choices in this link.  Any of the smaller flowers would be perfect!

I stamped a sentiment from the Silly Goose stamp set in black pigment ink.  Then I cut it out with the coordinating Silly Goose die.  I used foam strips to adhere the sentiment to the card.

In case you missed it, here's a photo of the card I made for the Instagram hop.  This has the Porch Goose dressed up in outfits from the Porch Goose Closet: Winter dies.  I have all of the details here on my blog.

This pair of geese look so cute and ready for the holidays!  Check out the entire Fashionably Feathered release to see all of the awesome sets available!

Merry Goose-mas -- Honey Bee Stamps Porch Goose

Hello, crafty friends!  Did you see the new Fashionably Feathered mini release by Honey Bee Stamps?  Today we are having an inspirational Instagram hop with a $50 gift card issued to two winners.  Join us, leave comments, and love for your chance to win!

The theme is all around this adorable Lovely Layers: Porch Goose.  Until now, I had no clue what a "porch goose" is!  Evidently it used to be a trend and that trend is now coming back!  Do you know about these porch goose figures?

Let me start out with the photo of my Porch Goose that is pictured with this amazing new product!  This is the new Honey Bee Stamps x Spellbinders Platinum Scout die cutting machine!  I absolutely love the teal color and the images of the daisies and bees that are on all sides of the machine.  I did an unboxing reel that I shared on Instagram, and guess what?  I actually did a voice over!!  Check it out here!

Now onto my card and some details!!  This adorable Lovely Layers: Porch Goose has two accessory sets:  Porch Goose Closet: Winter and the Porch Goose Closet: Spring.  There are also two different sentiment sets to coordinate with the seasons.  One is the Silly Goose stamp set and the Rainy Day Smiles stamp set.  Of course, both have coordinating die sets.

My card features the Lovely Layers: Porch Goose with the Porch Goose Closet: Winter.  Depending on what colors you choose for your cardstock, you could make a Thanksgiving card, Christmas card, or just a general winter card.  I die cut two of the geese because I wanted to dress one in the cute girlie outfit!

I used a few Copic markers to add just a bit of shading to some of my Porch Goose die cut pieces.

Next I created the 5" x 7" card layers by embossing a piece of 4-¾" x 4-¼" white cardstock with the Snowflakes 3D embossing folder.  I used a blending brush to color it with Tumbled Glass Distress ink.

I embossed green cardstock with the Burlap 3D embossing folder and used my scissors to trim it with hills on the top edge.  I inked the edges of the green cardstock with Rustic Wilderness Distress ink.  Then I glued the two embossed pieces together and then glue the panel to my card base.

The trees are from the Lovely Layers: Trees die set.  After gluing the layers together, I diluted some white opaque watercolor and used a fan paint brush to add white splatters.

The sentiment is from the Silly Goose stamp set and cut out with the coordinating die.

I added some white gel pen accents to the trees and geese

I hope you will come join me on the Fashionably Feathered Instagram hop and leave comments for your chance to win!
