Honey Bee Stamp-Fall Wreath

October 20, 2020

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this fun fall wreath project over on the Honey Bee Stamps YouTube channel.

Honey Bee Stamps-Itty Bitty Leaves-Honey Cuts

I used the Itty Bitty Leaves-Honey Cuts. They are tiny little darling leaves and I die cut about 5,000 out of all kinds of solid, glittered & foil cardstocks to give a schmancy fall feel. For the sentiment I used the Blessed stamp set.

Big Thanks Autumn

October 14, 2020

Hi there! Today I have a project using the new November Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp called Big Thanks Autumn.

SSS-Big Thanks Autumn

To begin I stamped the thanks sentiment from Big Thanks Autumn using Concord & 9th inks, giving each letter a different color. Post-it notes help to mask off each letter to individually ink each one. I trimmed the sentiment onto angled strip and popped it up over strips of Concord & 9th cardstock. I stamped the floral bouquet from Big Thanks Autumn onto the strips of cardstock using Versemark ink.

SSS-Big Thanks Autumn

The card base is one of my new favorites, Speckled Eggshell cardstock. I added a sentiment strip and a few sparkling clear sequins to finish it off.

October Card Kit Mini Blog Hop

October 11, 2020

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for a mini hop featuring the October Card Kit.

SSS-Happy Fall Y'all

My card used the adorable Happy Fall Y’all stamp set.

SSS-Happy Fall Y'all

I stamped the images with Memento ink and colored them with Copics. I embossed the banner sentiment in white on black and popped it up over the cute bear. How adorable is the bear in a rainbow sweater with glasses holding a pie? Haven’t decided if it’s apple, cherry or pumpkin pie. Personally I’d take brownies:)

New Make Merry Release

October 8, 2020

Hi there! Today I have a couple of fun projects to share featuring the festive, new Make Merry release by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Merry On a Line, Geometric Christmas Tree, CZ Good Cheer

My first card features the Merry On a Line die. I love this clean, graphic look. I die cut several strips of solid colored cardstock and adhered them onto a slight angle.

SSS-Merry On a Line, CZ Good Cheer

I embossed a sentiment from the CZ Good Cheer stamp set in white onto black cardstock and used one of the Sentiment Label dies to cut out the sentiment and pop it up below the “merry”.

I adhered three Geometric Christmas Tree die cuts together for added dimension and then adhered strips of solid colored cardstock behind the stacked up tree. I added an embossed sentiment from CZ Good Cheer.
