Eclipse Background | Honey Bee Stamps

Using the eclipse card technique for a sentiment is always super fun but have you created an eclipse background … you’re simply popping up die cuts to create a more impactful card. I was able to use pattern paper, die cuts, and a heat embossed sentiment for a fairly simple card!

Thinking Outside the Box | Honey Bee Stamps

I’m not a plant girl but I know seed packets are always fun to peruse when I see them. This set was perfect to make into little packets just by adding a rectangle around it! Add a little bit of masking and you got a full card panel card of them!

No Masking | Honey Bee Stamps

I know I tend to do a lot of masking on my cards but sometimes, you have a set that works well with just straight stamping for a scene. I do love the style of these images and I used the florals as accents to the corners of the cards.

Repeat Stamping | Honey Bee Stamps

Big sentiments can create easy cards by creating a pattern through repeat stamping. A stamp positioner totally helps here and creates that pattern very quickly! I mirrored the colors in the pattern paper for my sentiments and then added a supporting sentiment to finish it off!

Subtle Eclipse | Honey Bee Stamps

White Highlights | Honey Bee Stamps

A lot of people color leaving white space for a highlight, which always levels up an image. I struggle leaving white because it’s a bit hard to fade out with copic markers, however, ink blending to white is a whole lot easier and I did that here. It allows the color to stick to the edges but you go in with a light hand with a fade to white.

Navy & Gold | Honey Bee Stamps

What’s your favorite color combination? I usually love anything with black and it’s normally my go to, but I always forget to use navy. It’s pretty elite as a color choice because it goes with everything but it looks just a little softer. I need to remember to use it more!
