Just for You with Honey Bee Stamps....


Hello and happy Wednesday everyone!! Mayra here with you today, yay!!!  I have two cards to share with you. I used the super sweet Treat Yo Self stamp set by Honey Bee Stamps


I began my cards by coloring the images I would be using from the set. I used Copic markers to color them in. For the coffee, I used E41, E31, E55, E35, a bit of E47, and C1. For the soft pink, I used RV42, R21, R30, R01, and R00. For the peachy color, I used R12, YR00, YR000, and R000. I also used a bit of BG10 and BG11. 


To create the first card, I used a piece of patterned paper from the Sweet On You 6x6 paper pad.  I then stamped the sentiment from the set using Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink. 


For the second card, I used the Fluttering Hearts Cover Plate die to create a shaker card. I die cut the top layer from Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock. I then added color to it using Lawn Fawn inks. I used Apricot, Peach Fuzz, and Peachy Keen. I then adhered a piece of acetate to the die-cut panel and created the shaker element. 

I hope you enjoy the Valentine treats cards I created to share with you today. Thank you very much for taking the time to visit. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day.

Hello from Toni: Smooches


I had such a fun time making these two Valentine cards using new Honey Bee and Pink Fresh Studio goodies.


Now pucker up and take a look at the first card where I used Distress Oxide Candied Apple, Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar along with the Honey Bee Smooch stamp to create a sassy background.

I then cut out the Honey Bee Smooch die from glitter cardstock and added some gold washi to complement it. 


I created another fun background on the second card using the same Distress Oxides along with the Pink Fresh Studio Sunburst Layered Stencil.  The package contains 3 stencils that allow you to create wedges of color that mix together to make even more colors. Love!

I used Distress Ink Candied Apple to stamp the Honey Bee SWAK so the lips were really vibrant. Also, you'll see that I used all 3 layers of the HB Smooch dies in colors similar to the colors of the background.  Groovy!

I'll see you again soon.  If you'd like to check out my other creations in the meantime, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.

Special Delivery with Lawn Fawn...

Hello everyone!! Happy Wednesday. Mayra here with you today. I have this fun birthday card to share with you. I used the adorable Spring Critter Huggers and Tiny Gift Box Chick and Duck Add-On die from Lawn Fawn. 




I started my card by using the Outside In Stitched Balloons die to create the background. I used the smallest and middle balloons from the set to create a stitched balloon effect. Next, I added color to the panel using Lawn Fawn Inks in Apricot, Peach Fuzzand Peachy Keen. I then used the Cloudy Stencil to add a soft clouds look. I also used the small balloon to create small duck themed balloons. I then die cut the scalloped panel using the largest rectangle from the Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Stackables set. I used Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink and Lawn Fawn Ink in Sunflower to add the yellow color all around the edges of the scalloped rectangle and to the edges of the yellow areas for the duckies. 




I then used the cute envelope die from the Gift Card Heart Envelope die set to create the little envelope containing the special delivery. The sentiment is from the new Special Delivery and Wavy Sayings stamp sets. The banners are from the Simple Wavy Banners die set. 

I hope you enjoy this card I created to share with you. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I pray you each have a wonderful and blessed day. Please feel welcome to visit me at my blogInstagram, or Pinterest

Hello from Toni: Honey Bee Gnome


Hello, my gnomies! Today's card features the Honey Bee Gnome Place Like Home set. I think gnomes are so cute (and yet creep en masse) so snatched this up out of the current DB sale section.


I first sponged the card base with Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers and the MFT Mini Cloud Edges stencil. I didn't mask the edges of the card; instead I used a sand eraser for any ink that strayed over the edges.


Next I used the MFT Brick Wall Cover Up Die with a leftover panel I had colored with Zigs way back when. I cut that in half and glued the bricks back in randomly for a really cool look.


I colored up the HB gnome with Copics and promptly chopped off his legs and replaced them with Lawn Fawn twine. Just call me the Wicked Witch of the Pacific Northwest.


I love how his legs hang over the brick wall and can swing around.  I used a sentiment from Sunny Studio Silly Sloths for a cute pun.  So fun! 

I'll see you again soon.  If you'd like to check out my other creations in the meantime, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.
