The World is Yours - Graduation Cards


Even though these one-sheet-wonder graduation cards have the same layout, the image and sentiment stamps give each it's own special flair. It was made along with the Father' day cards I created using this one-sheet-wonder template.  These graduation cards showcase stamps by Inkadinkado, Hampton Art and Close to My Heart.


The internal sentiments are quite striking while leaving plenty of room for a hand written message.

Super Job Graduate


Surprise!!!... it's another cool graduation card! It was made along with the Father' day cards I created using this one-sheet-wonder template. This graduation card showcases stamps by Inkadinkado and Hampton Art. 


I thought it was very collegiate to punch the layer using the binding edge punch by EK Success. LOL.

Congrats Grad - One sheet wonder


I've got a quick post and a flash back for ya! Remember the Father' day cards I created using the one-sheet-wonder? These cards were part of the set. I used some of the cards to create some country themed graduation cards. Just in case you're new to my blog, here's the template I used. 

My fav parts of these cards are the the Jolee's dimensional stickers and the punched border I created using Martha Stewart's cathedral lace punch. Thanks for stopping by!

Congrats Graduate!


For the next several posts I'll share graduation cards made using (surprise!!) the one sheet wonder method. Here's the template I used. There's bullet points toward the bottom of the post showing various ways to cut the one sheet to achieve different results.

I chose to make 8 cards so I cut 8 blue layers from the one sheet of double sided 12x12 patterned. The card bases and the decorative layers and mats were extra pieces brought in to make the cards a reality. Here's the first two from the series....


The stamps are from Inkadinkado and Hampton Art. The patterned paper is from Hot off the Press, the card bases and pink layers are Die Cuts With a View (DCWV).

Thanks for stopping by!!

Birthday Boy - Hats off Bib Card


In my last post I shared a feminine version of a Children's birthday card. Here's the masculine version also for an older child. Once again I used a bib card and layers from The Paper Cut and I pulled together more birthday stamps from my arsenal.


The element on the top of the bib card can be seen while the card is closed or open so I chose a small collage stamp form Inkadinkado for that extra pop.

The inside phrase was built using a few stamps to create the perfect sentiment. I think I like these even better than the feminine version. Do you????

 Supplies:
  • The Paper Cut - bib card, layer
  • Inkadinkado - birthday inchie
  • Jillibean Soup - birthday
  • Memento ink - dandelion, Bahama blue, summer sky, Danube blue, Paris dusk, cantaloupe
  • Martha Stewart - scalloped layering punch
  • stash - epoxy dots and star buttons

 Thanks for stopping by. Please follow me to stay abreast of my posts.

Hats off to the Birthday Girl!


Children's birthday cards can be fun but challenging. We all love the cute animals and die cuts for children's cards, but I wanted to do something for an older child. I'm into stamping these days (have you noticed?) so I thought of making my own background using bib cards and layers from The Paper Cut.

 Birthday hats were a logical expression for these cards and as I found out, I have a plethora of different hats in my stamp arsenal - some with more whimsy and others more girly.


While bib cards are smaller than A2, they have an element on the top that can be seen while the card is closed and while it's open. It's important to make that element stand out. I chose to use two small stamps. The birthday sprinkles stamped around the scalloped circle edge create a subtle tone on tone look to support the main image.

The sentiment was built using four stamps to create a collage. All the hats were accented with jewel dazzles from Hot Off the Press.

 Supplies:
  • The Paper Cut - bib card, layer
  • Inkadinkado - birthday niche, birthday fun
  • Recollections - (birthday stamp set)
  • Jillibean Soup - birthday
  • TPC studio - celebration
  • Hampton Art/Doodlebug - (birthday stamp set)
  • Memento ink - lulu lavender, grape jelly, rose bud, dandelion, angel pink
  • Martha Stewart - scalloped layering punch
  • Hot off the Press - jewel dazzles

 Thanks for checking out my blog today! I'd love to read your comments. Come back next time to see this card recreated for a birthday boy!

Day 6 (of 12) Days of Christmas - Winter Fairy

It's day six of the Honeybearz Designs Annual 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop!! 

I will continue to post a new project daily (for a total of 12 days) along with many talented bloggers and guest designers. 

What's in it for you? Well... boundless inspiration, generous craft companies/sponsors and giveaways galore!

As far as Copics are concerned, red is the hardest color to blend but I never back down from a challenge! Nooooo. I learned the best tip from Kristina Werner who uses brown as the darkest color when blending red. That was ALL I needed! It was 'on and poppin' after that! I have been blending red like a pro ever since. 

 This card features a stamp called winter fairy from The Rubber Cafe. I have been collecting images to color long before I knew how to shade with Copics and I am overjoyed I have the skills now to create to my heart's content. Believe it or not, I was actually scared, afraid, even frightened to even try coloring just a year ago.
Supplies:
·       The Rubber Café – winter fairy
·       Inkadinkado – Warm winter wishes – Peace
·       My Pink Stamper – Biggie Christmas – sentiment inside the card
·       Memento Tuxedo black ink
·       Tim Holtz Grid Blocks
·       Recollections 110 white cardstock
·       DCWV red metallic cardstock
·       Copic X-Press It blending card
·       Anna Griffin/cuttlebug embossing folder – snow flurry
·       eBosser
·       Martha Stewart Scoring Board
·       Creative Memories Guillotine, corner rounder
·       Cutterpillar pro
·       Encore ultimate metallic gold ink
·       Stampin’ Up! Gold Glory embossing powder, embossing buddy
·       Nicole Heat tool
·       American crafts gold ribbon
·       Wink of Stella - gold
·       Copics –
o   Hair – E25, 37, 29
o   Skin – E11, 13, 15
o   Shawl – Y28 and gold wink of stella pen
o   Dress – R20, 24, 29 and E18
o   Lip – Zig Clean Color brush pen – carmine red
o   Dress trim – white liquid applique

o   Highlight W1

 This card is technique heavy! I dabbled in dry embossing, heat embossing, stamping, masking, Wink of Stella over Copics, Sequins, ribbon, etc. It was definitely a labor of love. 

 My fav gold embossing powder is by Stampin' Up! As a failsafe I stamp in Encore Ultimate Metallic gold ink to emboss (rather than VersaMark) to ensure full coverage if I miss any spots with the powder.

The finishing touch was to add liquid appliqué. Once it's heated, it puffs up and gives the appearance of fur. I tried to show you the dimension by taking several views. I hope you try this technique soon!
