Simple & fun card sketch with Honeybee Home

Do you ever use card sketches to get inspired?  I love them!  I find most of them on Pinterest. 

We use card sketches & color combos on my Flowerbug's Team group for challenges & inspiration.  It's so fun to see the different projects everyone comes up with. This is the sketch we're using now:

I used it as inspiration to create this card with the Honeybee Home bundle and the Simply Marbelous designer series paper. 

Save

It's such an easy sketch to use.  Some are using card stock, others designer paper and one used ribbon!  

My card is Basic Bray with Bumblebee accents.  Gray & yellow are beautiful together.  In fact one of my bathrooms has these colors! 

The Simply Marbelous designer paper was my color inspiration.  This 6 X 6" DSP is free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through the month of February; or while supplies last.  See it here.

• Live tonight! Show off your Designer Paper with this fun layout!

  November 22, 2021

  ---

  We're making these cards tonight on Facebook Live here.  Every other Monday I host a 'Stamp with Me' Live where we use our Designer Paper in fun ways.  

  I love this layout!  It is perfect for small patterns of Designer Paper. Turning squares on the angle adds a lot of playful interest to your card and showcases one main image, die-cut or punch in the center. 

  Save

  I post the measurements a few days before the Live event so you have the time to prep your pieces so we can complete them together.  

  I chose to use the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper from the Holiday catalog. (see it here)  And the Perfectly Plaid stamp set & Pine Tree punch.

  Card stock is Real Red, Mossy Meadow & Basic White; ink is Mossy Meadow. 

  Measurements:

  Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2" 

  White CS – 2" square, 2 7/8" square, 4" X 5 1/4" plus a scrap for the punched piece

• A treat bag from an envelope? Yes!

  November 19, 2021

  ---

  I cannot believe what a nice size this treat bag is – all from an A2 size envelope!  

  Save

  • Basic Border dies seen here 
  • Tailor Made Tag dies seen here 

  Steps:

  1. First I stamped just the flap with snowflakes from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set using Coastal Cabana and Highland Heather inks.  Then I stamped the Highland Heather tag and heat embossed it with White embossing powder.  

  2. Next score 1" on the bottom and up both sides while the envelope is flat.  Fold on the score lines and press each fold well. 

  Save

  3. Open up the envelope into a box. Secure the bottom corners to the flat bottom. 

  4. Die-cut the flap using the Basic Border dies. Add a second layer of Coastal Cabana – also die-cut.  

  5. Fill the bag with treats, wrap the mesh ribbon around it and add the tag.  Tie it into a bow.  Done!
