Honey Bee with Golden Honey Designer Paper


I know some people do not like yellow but I always have.  When I was young I chose to a yellow and orange them for my bedroom!  (The walls were yellow and the only orange were in accents so it wasn't too garish!)

When yellow is paired with Black and White it's a happy and striking color combination in my opinion!  

Here I used Daffodil Delight with the pretty Golden Honey Designer series paper.  It's one of the free choices during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  I was thrilled to see another black and white designer paper in the offering this year!  You can pair it with just about any color!  It also has gold foil accents on many of the sheets.  click here to see it.

My gals made this card at my New Catalog Stamp a Stack this last Saturday.  The new Honey Bee bundle coordinates with this paper beautifully.  

Measurements:

  • Daffodil Delight main card – 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
  • Black 3 5/8” X 4 ¾”
  • White scrap for hive and for ‘thank you’ greeting
  • Golden Honey left is 2 ½”X 3 ¼”, right is 2” X 3 ¼”

  • An easy Whitewashing Technique with our Retiring In Colors


    I had time to play with the Whitewashing technique & our beautiful Calming Camellia stamp set.

    This first card features my top favorite color among the retiring 2020-22 In Colors; Misty Moonlight.  I hope it returns someday! 

    I decided to cut the pieces down to fit and layer on one 8 1/2" X 11" piece of Basic White CS. I love saving card stock this way.  

    The In Color pieces measure 3 3/8" X 4 1/2" and the layering White is 3 1/2" X 4 5/8".

    How did I do the Whitewashing Technique?  I use our White Craft ink pad and a water painter.  I added a few drops of the White Craft ink refill to the inside of the ink pad and added water from the brush.  Swirl it around a bit and start painting.  You don't need much if you like it soft; I prefer it pretty diluted. 

    You can see a demonstration in this video; it's the second project. 

    Heads up!! These 2020-22 In Color will retire at the end of March.  If you have the ink pads, make sure you have the ink refills and grab extra card stock or Designer Paper too!  See all of this color line here. 

    ***Once the retired list comes out these tend to sell out FAST! 

    Here's my other favorite of these In Colors; Just Jade.  I love this pretty, medium toned green.  It fits so beautifully with other colors! 

    This stamp set is a 'distinktive' set which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.  Love these so much! 

    Did you notice that these cards are also monochromatic?  I cannot get enough of a single color with a neutral. This technique truly shows off our gorgeous colors! 

    The Calming Camellia stamp set is free during Sale-a-Bration with a $300 order.  So if you have a big wishlist you can get this free along with $36 in host rewards AND 6 additional Sale-a-Bration choices too! Click here to see it.

  • Easy but adorable Hello Ladybug Cards Kit to go


    My Flowerbug's and I held a Zoom meeting last week and we all made versions of my Easy 8 Card Wonder.  I chose to use the Hello Ladybug stamp set for mine.  

    My colors are Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, Real Red & Black.  My Easy 8 Card Wonder template takes the guesswork our of creating.  

    Here is how I prepped for the Zoom.  I chose my colors, printed the template on White CS, grabbed my card stock & bags of scraps and stamped a few greeting tags.  

    I loved the cards so much I'm offering them as a kit to go in February.  One Sheet Wonders truly make it easy to create beautiful cards quickly. 

    This kit is $38 with shipping & includes the following:

    • all pre-cut & punched pieces for the 8 finished cards
    • the PDF tutorial ($15 value)

    It does not include stamped images or textured CS. You will need inks, adhesives, gems & a paper trimmer to finish them. 

    Optional add-ons:
    Add the Ladybug Punch to your kit and save 10% ($54 with punch). If you add on another $20 in product you can choose a free Sale-a-Bration choice!
    Or choose the PDF tutorial here.

  • Easel Calendar with a post-it note box; a fabulous gift idea


    I love these Easel calendars; they're a great gift and actually fun to make too.  I was inspired by my friend Melissa's project; see it here.  

    Easel Calendar card measurements

    • Card base 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”.
    • Easel 4” X 4” scored at ½”, 2” & 3 ½”
    • DSP 4” X 5 ¼” (or 3 1/2" X 5 1/4" on the above project)
    • Note box 4” X 5 1/8” scored at 3/8” on the short side.  On the long side score at 2 3/8” & 2 ¾”

    Here are some details:

    • The unique scallop edges & cute tag are both made with the Brilliant Rainbow dies – it's part of the Rainbow of Happiness bundle. 
    • The large clouds are punched with our new Cloud Punch. One is punched from the Supple Shimmer specialty paper and the other from the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP/ It's free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here. 
    • The bright striped paper is also from our Sunshine & Rainbows DSP
    • The card stock colors are Bermuda Bay & Melon Mambo
    • The calendars were purchased from Taylored Expressions. 

    Here are the other two I shared using the Friendly Hello bundle from our Sale-a-Bration promotion:

      

    Totally different looks from the same Friendly Hello designer paper.  You can go soft or bold with it! 

    On the top right I added the stamped image from the Friendly Hello stamp set (part of the free bundle during SAB) and on the top left I added a few die-cuts from the Tropical Layers dies seen here.  I think they coordinate wonderfully.  

    *I'll be giving away two easel calendar kits with online orders in February. Details tomorrow! 

    This Easel Calendar is the second project I make in the video below. Click on it to watch!
