Glowing Lights | Honey Bee Stamps

I love glowing lights and it always seems hard to achieve but there’s some tricks to it. I do a mix of ink blending plus fussy cutting to create the illusion. It’s perfect for fall/winter cards as we get into shorter days and longer nights.

Mixed Media | Honey Bee Stamps

I can’t ever resist using an embossing folder with lunar paste because it just accents how cool the dimension looks! But with this snowflake folder and silver paste — it looks like snow and gives that very wintery vibe! I love it.

Christmas Rainbow | Honey Bee Stamps

I love a Christmas Rainbow, which is essentially Red, Orange, Yellow, and Green. This set isn’t the traditional Christmas florals and I love that so I paired it with some ink blending and then a simple heat embossed sentiment.

Just a Bit of Coloring | Honey Bee Stamps

I went on vacation in September and coming back was a bit tough. I just didn’t really want to make cards, I didn’t feel very creative.. but it’s been about three weeks and I’m back! I wanted to start off with something simple — a lot of stamping and just a bit of coloring. I don’t always embrace white space but for this card, I definitely did but it wouldn’t be me without SOME copic markers.

Stamp Wheel Uses | Honey Bee Stamps x Altenew

A new stamping platform? Why, yes please! I’m usually pretty stuck in my ways especially when I’m used to something but this Stamp Wheel is worth the try. I used it to stencil up my background panel and then used it to stamp out my bold sentiment for this card. I was skeptical that it would like up perfectly each time but it did! I haven’t even used it yet to create my own patterns…. I’m pretty excited about the endless possibilities.

Pastes | Honey Bee Stamps

3D Embossing folders are super cool because they add so much texture and dimension. Sometimes it’s pretty subtle but since I love fall — I just really wanted to make the leaves stand out so I added a bit of paste. It really stepped it up and looks amazing!

Multi-Color Stamping | Honey Bee Stamps

If you know me, I love coloring but sometimes, you come across a solid stamping set that you just love. This set is one I’ve used sooo many times and I can’t get enough of it!

Black Copic Marker | Honey Bee Stamps

An easy cheat for a card that pops is using a black copic marker. You can ink blend however you want and it doesn’t even have to be smooth! You stamp your images on top and color the rest in black!

Subtle Coloring | Honey Bee Stamps

I’ve been loving pulling older sets and matching it with new ones. The Sweet Spring Mice is a favorite and I definitely wanted to use it with this Friendship Frame stamp set. It was the perfect frame that works as a background so the focal image would fit snugly in the middle. I used one copic marker to add a bit of shading to the Friendship Frame stamp and it worked so well!

Adding Texture | Honey Bee Stamps

A simple trick to elevating your card is to use an embossing folder to add texture to your background. I didn’t want it to overtake the card since my focal image leaves a bit of blank space so I used additional color blocking to fill up the card in a subtle way.
