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.

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?

Navy & Gold | Honey Bee Stamps

I always forget how much I love gold and navy put together until I put them together! I wanted a bright pop of color as well to have a fun contrast. I think it really goes with this vintagey image from the latest Honey Bee Stamps release!

Dark Cardstock + Heat Embossing | Honey Bee Stamps

I wanted something different from the usual pinks and reds for lovey dovey cards so I went in the complete opposite direction, and went with dark green cardstock, even darkening it up more by inking up the edges. I do love this layered stencil that I used with clear embossing ink with a satin pearl embossing powder for a really pretty background.

Subtle Heat Embossing | Honey Bee Stamps

I love border stamps — they make for a quick card and helps portion off your card. To make it even easier, just pull out a scrap, heat emboss the image and then add it to a card panel like this card. I wanted a softer color so I also added a strip of yellow to further section it off and ended up stamping my sentiment directly on. It was totally unintentional but instead, a happy coincidence!

Ink Blending + Shimmer Splatter | Honey Bee Stamps

One of my favorite things to do is ink blending. It was one of the first skills that I picked up when I started cardmaking and it’s been a favorite ever since. Even though sometimes, it isn’t blended super well, you add a little splatter and you don’t even notice!

Paired Techniques | Honey Bee Stamps

I couldn’t resist using hot pink foil on black… but I really didn’t want the full panel of just hot foil. I decided to pair it with some heat embossing for a super subtle background. It really didn’t need anything else except for a sentiment, and why not a lovey dovey one!

Simple Coloring | Honey Bee Stamps

It’s just January but love cards can be sent at any time. I didn’t go for a traditional color palette of pinks and reds, deciding to change it up with blue. I really like it!
