Making Wave Backgrounds Using Honey Bee Stamps NEW Cloud Border Dies!

Hi there friends!

Do you need background ideas for all those sweet mermaid and ocean themed products that Honey Bee Stamps just released? Look no further! I made a reusable mask with the brand new Cloud Borders Dies. Perfect for scenes and backgrounds with clouds, but also make awesome wave patterns!

I've created and added a video below with all the details. I hope you'll check it out! If you'd rather watch it on YouTube....click HERE to visit our channel.

Here's a close up of the Shimmer Spritz background. I used the Honey Bee Stamps A2 Stitched Rectangles to cut down the background. Both of the mermaids are from the Under the Sea Stamp set. These stamps have coordinating dies, which made it super easy to cut and add the images. All of the greeting came from the Mermaid Song Stamp Set. This stamp set is a must have for great ocean, sea creature, mermaid themed sentiments!

This is the background I simply sprayed with water to get that amazing oxide reaction! The final touch for these cards is the drops or splashes of water added using Nuvo Crystal Glaze.

I did some simple stamping and added a kelp die cut to decorate the inside of this card. I love the way these backgrounds and cards turned out!

Happy Birthday! Featuring: Honey Bee Stamps

Hello and welcome!

My name is Kelley, and I'm so honored to continue representing Honey Bee Stamps on their Design Team! Today I have a super fun and easy birthday card! I love the modern, rainbow, geometric cards I've been seeing lately.  The versatile Hexagon Solid Stacked Dies made this design simple to accomplish. There are 11 dies in this huge set. I used one of the smaller dies in the set and cut many hexagons out of Bristol card stock.

After die cutting, I pulled out my rainbow of Distress Oxide Inks: Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Cracked Pistachio, Broken China, and Wilted Violet. I used the Ranger Mini Ink Blenders to add ink onto each hexagon. I didn't have to be too careful in getting a perfect blend or smooth look, because I added sprays and sprinkles of water onto the hexagons. Adding water to Distress Oxide Inks makes the oxide in the formula react with water. That's what gives the hexagons the textured and spotted appearance. I adhered the hexagons to my card base....some laying flat and some raised with foam tape. I trimmed off small pieces that hung off of the card with sharp scissors.

For the greeting, I cut the Happy Buzz Word from black card stock. The Buzz Word Dies sets each have a scripty word that can be used alone, as shown here, or with the 2 coordinating shadow dies. The simple Birthday sentiment is from Paw-Some Sentiments. I love the way the simple, all caps "Birthday" looks with the elegant scripty "Happy". I treated a small strip of black card stock with an anti-static tool, stamped "Birthday" in Versamark Ink, and then added white embossing powder. I set the loose powder with a heat tool until it was good and smooth. The final touch was a few Small Clear Dew Drops!

Below I have attached a super quick video with all the details in making this card! Please stop by and check it out.
