Vintage Look | Honey Bee Stamps

Sometimes you don’t need much to achieve the look you want. The newest Honey Bee Stamps release makes it really easy to achieve a vintagey look and I love it. The background stamp is so pretty that it really only needs a strong focal image.

Toner Foil Resist | Picket Fence Studios

Toner foil card fronts is the cardmaking cheat code — it creates such an easy card quickly, by running it through your laminator with some foil for that added glimmer OR you can leave it as is. Did you know that you can ink blend right over the foil and it’ll resist the ink? It allows you to add some color and it’s pretty!

Pastes & Perfect Pearls | Erin Lee Creative

There’s no such thing as too much glimmer! I used a silvery paste along with perfect pearls to add shimmer. I also used a white gel pen to create a faux glitter look to my die cut sentiment. Best believe — I can still make the whole card shimmer.

A large stencil — it’s great to fill up an entire panel but I couldn’t help add just a bit more color for it to really pop! Add a sentiment and that’s really all you need.

Sneak Peek Kit 2024 No. 2 | Waffle Flower + Giveaway

Hi friends, today, I’m sharing a card I created using the Sneak Peek Club kit No. 2 for 2024 from Waffle Flower Crafts. The Sneak Peek Club kit is a monthly subscription that allows you to play with a handful of Waffle Flower products about a month before their official release date. Check out more inspiration on Waffle Flower’s blog as well!

For today’s card, I totally fell in love with these little strawberries in the Multiple Strawberries Die-n-Stencil. They are so cute! I really wanted them to look dimensional so I used a few colors to ink these up: Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Candied Apple, Rustic Wilderness, Pine Needles. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out as well.

I pulled out the Gingham Paper and used those die cut strawberries lined up on edge of my pattern paper. I thought it would be fun to have a funky edge. I pulled out a piece of green cardstock to back up that piece for a pop of color.

To finish off this card, I used the Subsentiments – Berry Sweet to quickly add the sentiment. I kinda love these because my favorite way to stamp sentiments is using white embossing on black cardstock — this saves me the trouble of stamping and heat embossing.

Remember to check out all the other inspiration of how to use this kit!

Rainbow Arrangement | Honey Bee Stamps

These were one of the first things that caught my eye when this new release came out. I had to get my hands on it to use it immediately and they were so fun to put together. Not only that, they are mini! Mini anything makes it so much cuter – don’t you agree?

Watercolor Rainbow | Picket Fence Studios

Sometimes an image is just perfect without any coloring — it has enough details to carry itself. I love this girl who is just carefree. I did a bit of masking so my watercolors wouldn’t move onto the image and used watercolors in rainbow order so they would blend together nicely.

Dimension Blending | Erin Lee Creative

Last year, I went to the Eras Tour and now, I’m really appreciating Taylor Swift so when I got a peek at this kit, I knew I had to have it, use it, and to do it justice. I freaking love how this card turned out. The snake is my favorite part. I went in with a lighter green and then darkened up certain areas to create that dimension that just pops here!
