Simple & fun card sketch with Honeybee Home

February 3, 2022

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.

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!

Sending Positive Thoughts; love this new stamp set!

January 10, 2020

This Positive Thoughts stamp set seems to be a 'sleeper' to some people but it caught my eye right away! Everyone asked where the stamp set was when they saw my cards.

Save

I knew I could make pretty cards with the images; the leaves, flower and feather are perfect with lots of fine details. But the greetings; they are some I will definitely get a lot of use of.

This soft, botanical card is one I made for an online swap I participated in. I used Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and of course the pretty Petal Pink. The new champagne rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon was color inspiration.

I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly dies; my top pick in the entire new catalog! See them here.

I'll share a second version of this card with you tomorrow.

The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)
The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art. If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique. I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.

The Heart Doilies make it super simple. I used these products on this card:
The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set. I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting. That makes it very versatile to me.
