Summer Cabin Beach Scene Dimensional Card

 Hello crafty friends!! Today I'm sharing another way to create a different scene with my favorite Honey Bee Stamps Summer Cabins! It's super hot here now and I wish I had a beach trip planned, (but I don't) so I'll just pretend with this fun beach scene card!

I began by die cutting teal and white cardstock with the two dies in the A2 Scene Builder Card Base set. Next I die cut two strips of white cardstock with two of the waves dies in the Makin' Waves Borders Honey Cuts. I used blender brushes to add Mermaid Lagoon to one strip and Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide ink to the other. I trimmed these strips to 5" wide and one to about 1" tall and the other 1-½" tall. I scored the ends at ¼".

Before I adhered them to the teal frame, I splattered on diluted white paint and some Bee Shimmery liquid shimmer watercolor for some fun sparkle. I added 1/8" double sided tape to the scored tabs to secure the layers to the scene. I created the layer of sand by stamping beige cardstock with the Sandy Shores Background stamp and Tea Dye and Walnut Stain Distress Oxide inks. I hand-trimmed the piece and used my trimmer to cut it to 4-½" and then glued it directly to the back of the frame.

Before I glued on the back of the Card Base I created the other elements for the scene. (I find it easier to glue them in place without the Card Base back adhered.) I chose this cute little cabin from the Summer Cabins Honey Cuts for my scene. I die cut the layers from yellow and teal cardstock and use Bee Creative glue to adhere the pieces. Using your reverse tweezers to place the pieces makes it super easy!

See the little "bushes" in front of the cabin? Well, actually I die cut them using the tiny cloud die in the Shoreline Scene Builder Honey Cuts! This set also is where the palm tree, sailboat and birds are from. I die cut the pieces from white cardstock and used a few Copic markers to color them.

Next I added color to the back of the Card Base by inking on Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade Oxide inks for the sun. I inked on Tumbled Glass Oxide for the sky.

I used glue to adhere the cabin, palm tree, and saiboat to the card layers as shown. Then I folded the back of the Card Base at the score lines and used glue to adhere it to the sides of the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Seas The Day stamp set in black ink and cut it out with the coordinating die. Then I glued it and the birds to the back.

I just love that I thought of another scene for the Summer Cabins! I sure hope you've found inspiration too, and thank you so much for stopping by today!

Serene Beach Scene Card

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing my card that features a piece of beautiful, and so dreamy, paper from Honey Bee Stamps' new Vitamin Sea paper pad! And can you believe I've never used the fun Sand Castle Builder Honey Cuts? It's a great time to use them with some of the newest ocean themed Honey Bee products. Keep reading for all the details!  (If you're on Instagram, I started making reels to go with some of my cards and I have one for this one.  Click HERE to see a bit of my creating this card!)

First I created my card base by die cutting this patterned paper from the Vitamin Sea paper pad with a Sweet Stacks: Rectangles die. (Don't you love the new 6" x 8-½" size?!!) I adhered the paper to an A2 card with Bee Creative glue.

Next I used a detail blender brush to ink up a piece of 80# Neenah with Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink. Then I put the piece into my MISTI and stamped it with the Sandy Shores Background stamp and Antique Linen Distress Ink--not Oxide--as I found this ink stamped a bit darker. Then I die cut the panel with the Sand Castle Builder Honey Cuts. I didn't use all of the sand castle pieces, but now I have extras for another card. I added them to the card with foam squares.

I created more pieces for my scene by die cutting some of the dies from the Shoreline Scene Builder Honey Cuts from 80# Neenah. I used some Copic markers to color them and the sand castle flag. The Copic colors are:  palm trees and grass: G14, YG09, YG11, E39, E37, E35; sailboat and flag: BG53, B00, C3, C1, C00.

I used my scissors to cut foam squares in half and added them to the back of the trees, grass and sailboat to adhere them to the card. I used Bee Creative glue to adhere the seagulls. A Micron 005 pen made it easy to add the beak and eye details to the seagulls.

I stamped the sentiment from the Seas The Day set with Intense Black ink. Then I cut it out with the coordinating die. I popped this up with foam strips. (Yes, I do like dimension on my cards--Haha!) I'm amazed at the beauty of the patterned paper and how it makes such an easy, and beautiful, card!

I just love the calm and serenity this card evolves. This card could be used for several different occasions, depending on what you write inside. Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful, crafty day!

 Hello friends!  I needed one more trip to the beach (I wish!)  Since I've no trip planned for now, I've created a peaceful beach scene card to take me there!  The Honey Bee Stamps awesome Beach Scene A7 Cover Plate die makes this very easy.

I'm short on time today, so I hope you don't mind a list of the general steps.  (If you have any questions, use the contact form in the left column.)

• Create a 5" x 7" card base from white card stock.
• Die cut the Beach Scene A7 Cover Plate die from white card stock.  Adhere the thin frame onto the card base.
• Using a blending brush, ink the wave pieces in Mermaid Lagoon, Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxides.
• Ink the sand pieces with Brushed Corduroy and Antique Linen Oxides.

• Stamp the beach chair from the Hello Summer stamp set with Ink On 3's Fadeout detail ink.  Color with Copic markers and then die cut with the coordinating Honey Cuts.

• Stamp the other sentiment from the Summer set on the leftover blue inked piece with Versamark, add white embossing powder and heat set.  Then I die cut it with a Sentiment Banners Honey Cuts.  I added foam tape and adhered it.

Camping Fun on the Beach | Honey Bee Stamps

Happy Thursday friends!  Today I have a fun beach scene card featuring the Beach Scene A7 Cover Plate die and the Camp Trailer Card die.  I don't know about you, but I'm ready to go somewhere!  The beach is truly one of my favorite places to be, so I'll just dream about it for now!

I used the Hot Tropics 6x6 paper pad and chose the paper with the sun rays on it.  Position the top portion of the Beach Scene A7 Cover Plate die so the rays are in the middle and run through your die cutting machine.  Then I die cut the entire Beach Scene A7 die from some white card stock.

I added some Weathered Wood Distress Oxide to the cloud sections with a Detail Blender Brush and the negative cloud piece from the Mountain Z-Fold stencil set.

For the waves I ink blended Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon, and Broken China Distress Oxides.  The Background Blender Brushes make this very easy!  Next I blended Antique Linen Oxide onto the sand pieces.  Then I inked up the Sandy Shores Background stamp with Brushed Corduroy and Walnut Stain Oxides and stamped it onto the sand.  I adhered all of the pieces onto a top-folding A7 card base.

I used the Camp Trailer Card die to cut out the trailer and other pieces.  I added embossed lines using my scoring board every ¼" on the main part and then I die cut the door from it.  Then I added Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Oxide to the embossed piece. The other the bottom panel is patterned paper from the Hot Tropics pad. I Copic colored the door frame, awning and strip of white card stock with coordinating colors. I used silver mirror card stock for the hitch and bottom trim. I adhered all the pieces with the awesome NEW Bee Creative Precision Tip Glue and trimmed it to fit the card.

Next I stamped the Hello Summer images in Copic safe ink and colored them with my markers. I die cut them with the coordinating Honey Cuts. I adhered some with glue and used foam squares on the umbrella, chairs and one grass.

To finish up, I stamped the sentiment from Flippin' Fabulous in black ink and die cut it with the coordinating Honey Cut. I popped it up with foam squares. I added a few gem stickers from the Hot Tropics Gem Stickers. I used a white Gelly Roll pen to add highlights here and there.

This card was so fun to make! I can see making several different scenes with this awesome Beach Scene Cover Plate die! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Ocean Scene Card & Lots of Stenciling Fun | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends!  I love using stencils and I had so much fun creating this card with mainly stencils, two stamps and some dies!  Most of these beautiful products are from Honey Bee Stamps awesome Hello Summer release!

I love how this background turned out!  I used the Garden Lattice stencil set to make it.  Here are the steps:

• I sprayed the back of both stencils with Pixie Spray.  This makes stenciling so much easier!
• I used the top stencil layer and added Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide with a Background blender brush.
• Next I rotated the stencil 90º and inked it again.  You get this cool looking pattern.

• I positioned the base Garden Lattice stencil over this making sure the large squares of the stencil aligned with the inked squares.
• I spread some white Gina K. Designs white Glitz Glitter Gel through the stencil and set the piece aside to dry.  (Be sure to clean your stencil and tool immediately!)  When it was dry, I used the largest Double Stitched Square die to cut it out. I adhered it to a 5-½" square card base.

• For the little oval scene, I die cut some white card stock with the middle-sized Double Stitched Ovals dies.
• Leave the die cut in the oval die and add some purple tape on the back to secure it.
• I put this into my MISTI and taped it down.
• I positioned the Sandy Shores background stamp on the MISTI door so that it would only stamp on the lower portion of the oval.  I used Antique Linen Distress Oxide for the first stamping.  I shifted the oval shape a bit and re-stamped it with Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide.
• I used some Detail Blender brushes to shade the sand with the same Oxides.
• I used the Ocean Waves stencils with these Distress Oxides:  Broken China, Peacock Feathers, and Mermaid Lagoon.
• I inked in the sky with Tumbled Glass after I masked off the ocean.
• I used the Circle Spotlight stencil and mask with Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed Oxides.  These photos will give you a good visual of my process.  (Click to enlarge.)  When you remove the die, there will be a nice frame around the scene!

     

Next I die cut the palm tree leaves, trunk and coconuts that are in the Beach House Add-on die set.  I used the Beach House stencil to add Oxide inks.  I used Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron, Ground Espresso and Gathered Twigs.  

I stamped the sentiment from the Sea Breeze stamp set and die cut it with the coordinating die   I popped up the oval and the sentiment with some thin foam tape.  To finish, I adhered the palm tree to the oval.

I totally love how this turned out and wish you could see the sparkle of the glitter gel in real life!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
