Golden Honey Birthday Candles! So cute!


I saw a card like this online and HAD to make one! I believe the original designer is Libby Fens. Look at this colorful, clever card!

I wish I'd come up with the idea myself but I cased it.  Sometimes I feel a bit guilty casing from others. But when people case me I take it as a huge compliment. So I get over my guilt pretty quickly! 😉

The candles are made from the Golden Honey specialty designer paper that was available as part of our Sale-a-Bration offering.  It is now sold out but I know many of you own it already so I thought I'd share the card for you.  Or maybe you own some similar patterned paper you could use instead.

The candles are about 3/8" wide and 3" tall.  The paper is originally white with gold diagonal dashes.  I colored them in with Blends markers in light and dark of each color.  The colors are Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.  

For the flames I punched out a daisy from the Medium Daisy punch in Gold Glimmer paper.  I cut off the petals and adhered them under the top of each candle.  Then I popped up each candle with mini dimensionals.  

Other Details

  • The Let's Celebrate You greeting is from Bonanza Buddies set on page 34 of the 2020 January-June mini catalog. 
  • The stitched rectangle is from the Stitched so Sweetly dies
  • Granny Apple Green

Here's a view of the Stitched So Sweetly bundle; it includes a fabulous stamp set and amazing dies.  If you buy it this month you'll earn a free Sale-a-Bration choice!  See it here.

  • Beautiful Autumn paired with Plaid Tidings


    There are lots of gorgeous Fall products in the 2020 Holiday catalog.  I paired a few of my favorites to create this card; the Beautiful Autumn punch bundle and Plaid Tidings 6 X 6" designer paper pack. 

    I trimmed off 3/4" from the front flap to reveal the strip of pretty Plaid Tidings designer paper.  I chose to use Bumblebee, Mint Macaron, Early Espresso and Terracotta Tile inks here.  

    The Beautiful Autumn bundle includes the stamp set and the three leaf punches; all for 10% off.  Click here to see it online. 

    I also used the Wrapped in Texture embossing folder for the front layer, which is 5 1/4" X 3". See them here. 

    Look at the detailed punched images here!   You might also notice the Sequins for Everything.  Love the variety of shapes and colors in these.  

    Here's a Facebook Live video where I shared three pretty fall cards using the Beautiful Autumn bundle.  Join me each Tuesday at 11 am  CT for my weekly Live videos here: https://bit.ly/FlowerbugFB

  • Gather Together card with a cool punch trick!!


    Marilyn made this pretty card for our Team swap.  She used the Gather Together bundle in the 2020 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  There are two really neat tricks you might not notice at first glance.  

    Can you spy the two special techniques here?  Keep reading and I'll share them below.

    Measurements:

    • Cajun Craze 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Very Vanilla 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"
    • Rich Razzleberry 5" X 3 3/4"
    • Plaid Tidings 1/2" X 3 3/4"

    Products Used:

    Okay, now I'll reveal her two tricks!  

    1. Can you see the changes in colors on the textured leaves?  The bottom three leaves were die-cut & embossed (done all at once!) and then spritzed with water.  The water changes the color on the leaves!  I cannot believe it's just water and no ink to get this effect.  Super cool!!
    2. Next is the greeting shape.  It's made with the Label me Lovely punch.  You can get multiple shapes from this punch.  Here's how:
    • Punch one piece out.  
    • Add a bit of adhesive to the end of a thin piece of card stock and adhere it to the punched piece. 
    • Insert the piece back into your punch and adjust it to get whatever size shape you want!  

    Here are three shapes I made with this punch.  Super neat and so versatile!  See the punch here.

  • So Much Happy card with video


    We made this eye-catching, birthday card at my July card clubs last month.  It features the fun So Much Happy bundle.  

    I also used the Brights & In Color designer paper for the balloons and the Rainbow Glimmer paper for the pennant die-cut & bitty stars.  They had a choice of Magenta Madness, Granny Apple Green or Coastal Cabana for their card.  That cute White greeting die is from the Hippo & Friends dies. 

    The dies in this bundle especially caught my eye; I think they're super versatile! I just love the window the 'Happy' die creates!  Click here to see it. 

    Check out the video below to see how this card is made. 

    Measurements:
    Black CS 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    Inside layer CS 4" X 5 1/4"
    Scraps of Rainbow glimmer paper, White, Designer paper for punches and die-cuts
