Thank You Card With Boho Pumpkins -- Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, crafty friends!!  I'm super excited to share my first project with products from Honey Bee Stamps new Acorn & Ember release!  I'm in love with everything in this release and had a hard time choosing what to create with first!  I ended up choosing the beautiful Lovely Layers: Boho Pumpkins Honey Cuts for this card.

Now on to the fun details of my card!

I started out by creating a side-folding A7 card base from white cardstock.  I chose this beautiful leafy green paper from the new Acorn & Ember paper pad for the first layer and glued it to the card base.

Next I used the largest die in the Design Deck: Base die set to cut a piece of brown cardstock.  It's so cool that there's an embossing folder to coordinate with this die cut!  I just lined up the brown cardstock die cut in the Autumn Keepsakes 3D embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine.  I inked up the edges using blending brushes and Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Inks.

Then I added gold splatters with a paint brush and gold metallic paint from Gansai Tambi Starry Colors watercolors!  (P.S.:  This set is my MOST favorite gold tones!). Then I swiped a gold metallic ink pad along the edges and glued it to my card base.

Next I chose three more papers from the Acorn & Ember paper pad and cut out the pumpkins with the dies in the Lovely Layers: Boho Pumpkins dies.  I die cut the lace from watercolor cardstock, the leaves from green cardstock, and the stems from brown cardstock.

I smooshed Antique Linen and Tea Dye Distress inks onto my silicone mat.  Then I spritzed the ink with just. bit of water.  Next I dipped each die cut layer into the ink, drying between colors and layers of ink with my heat tool.

I inked up the edges of each pumpkin using a blending brush and Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress inks along with some orange inks from my stash.  I used Rustic Wilderness for the leaves.  Before I glued the Boho Pumpkin layers together I inked the edges with gold metallic ink.

The sentiment is from the Keepsake Sentiments: Fall stamp set.  Before I stamped it, I die cut watercolor cardstock with the die in the Design Deck: Base dies.  Then I ink smooshed it as described above.  When the piece was dry, I patted an anti-static tool on the paper then stamped the sentiment with clear embossing ink.

I sprinkled copper embossing powder over the stamped sentiment, then heat set it with my heat tool.  I used a blending brush to ink the edges with Vintage Photo Distress ink then swiped the gold metallic ink pad along the edges.  (Of course, there is a coordinating Keepsake Sentiments: Fall die set, but I didn't need it this time.)

I adhered the Boho Pumpkins and the sentiment to the card using glue and some foam tape.

This was such a fun card to make.  I love these Acorn & Ember papers and the Boho Pumpkins too!  Be sure to check out the entire release on Honey Bee's website.

You're So Tweet Friend!

Happy Wednesday, friends!!  Today I'm sharing this sweet card that features Honey Bee Stamps adorable Tweeties stamp set and coordinating Tweeties dies.  I've nestled the bird house in this set into branches from the Lovely Layers: Oak Branch dies.  Read on for the details!

First I stamped the images from the Tweeties stamp set onto white cardstock with Intense black ink, an alcohol marker safe ink.  After I colored them with my Copic markers I cut them out with the coordinating Tweeties dies.

I used a white gel pen to add a few white highlights to the birds and birdhouse.

Next I die cut white cardstock with the dies in the Lovely Layers: Oak Branch set.  I cut each piece twice.  Then I colored them with some Copic markers.  I used Bee Creative Glue to adhere the layers together.

Before I adhered the images to my A2 card base I used a couple of blending brushes to add blue ink to the card.  I like to leave some open white spaces when I do this so it will have the appearance of light clouds in the sky.  I added just a bit of green ink to the bottom of the card.  There was enough green ink on my blending brush that I didn't even need to pull out an ink pad!

I used foam tape and glue to adhere all of the images to the card.  I did not add glue to the leaves of the Oak Branch with the bird house.  I like the easy dimension you get by not gluing everything down!

I stamped the sentiment from the Tweeties stamp set with black pigment ink.  After I cut it out with the coordinating die, I popped it up with a foam strip.

This card is so adorable and totally perfect to let someone know how sweet you think they are!  Bonus:  it was super easy to make!!

I sure do appreciate you stopping by!  I hope you have a wonderful and crafty day!
