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.

On the video I share my tips on placing these 1/4" strips.  It's a little tricky but entirely doable!

The greeting and flower die are placed on a circle die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here.

See this Honeybee Home bundle here.  The stamp set has pretty images & greetings and the dies work great as silhouettes!

• Forever Forest – beautiful mountains & trees

  September 11, 2023

  ---

  I created this card for an online swap I'd joined last month.  It shows off the gorgeous mountain dies in the Forever Forest bundle. 

  Save

  I knew I had to get this bundle with the many trees, that gorgeous mountain die and the other options.  It's a fabulous scene builder set!  See the bundle here.

  Save

  I used Shaded Spruce ink to stamp the trio of trees image, adding a second image without reinking.  Then I added 5 die-cut trees from Shaded Spruce card stock over the stamped trees.   

  Save

  I wanted to create a soft sky above the trees so I lightly added Balmy Blue ink with a Blending Brush.  I then inked the 'cloud' image in the same Balmy Blue, stamped off once and stamped in the sky.  

  The 'Winter Wishes' is from the Magical Meadow stamp set seen here.  

  Save

  I die-cut two mountains in White for each card, adding them in different positions on the bottom of the stamped White layer.  After I added them I trimmed off the excess on the sides before adhering the layer to the card base. 

  What do you think?
