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!

• 3 neat cards with the All Squared Away bundle; FB Live replay

  August 5, 2021

  ---

  Here are the cards I made on last Tuesday's FB Live featuring the All Squared Away bundle.  Fresh Freesia is the color of the day!

  Save

  I stamped the solid images in the set in three colors; Fresh Freesia, Pool Party & Pear Pizzazz.  Then I trimmed them so they'd fit behind the die-cut floral squares. I added rolled up mini glue dots for just a bit of a lift and added them to the White layer. Sometimes you want a lift that's not very thick; rolled up glue dots do the trick! That next texture is the Bark 3D folder I used seen here.  

  Save

  The greeting is from Biggest Wish stamp set – stamped on Fresh Freesia CS and fussy cut.  Those pretty gems are the fabulous, iridescent In Color jewels.

  This next card is a unique color combination gatefold card made with the same bundle: 

  Save

  Products used:

  • Delightful Tag Topper punch on the 2" X 3 1/2" White CS.
  • It's textured with the new Star Crossed embossing folder and added to a Basic Gray scalloped rectangle die-cut from the Scalloped Contours dies seen here 
  • In Color 6 X 6" DSP, Fresh Freesia Open Weave ribbon seen here 
  • White embossing powder on the greeting
  • In Color jewels seen here

  • 5 ½” X 8 ½” Basic Gray; score at 2 1/8” from each side

• Pretty Pumpkin bundle in Gold!

  August 4, 2021

  ---

  Marilyn made this card for my display last week using the Pretty Pumpkins bundle seen here. She used the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic specialty paper here on her layer and die-cuts.  She got the idea from a card made by Christi Redding. It's gorgeous!  

  Save

  I had a hard time getting a great photo of this card.  The gold metallic paper is so much prettier than this photo shows! 

  She fussy cut her greeting and added some gold cording underneath. The texture on the Vanilla layer is from the Tasteful Textile folder.
