You Make Me Happy! Featuring: Honey Bee Stamps "Honey Buddies Stamps and Dies"

Hello there friends!

In my area of the world ( Washington State) we are getting lots of April showers. I'm hoping, with as wet as it's been, that it's going to be a green and beautiful summer. Our spring weather was the inspiration for today's card.

When looking through all of my Honey Bee stamps, I came across the Spring Honey Buddies stamp set. If you're like me, I often overlook the accessories and "extra" stamps in a set, because I get drawn in by the "main" image. I knew these little extras would be perfect for a card. I paired the umbrella and clouds up with the perfect greeting from the Happiness stamp set.

I started out by using the clouds from the Spring Honey Buddies Dies to dry emboss a background. I arranged the clouds over and over again and ran them through my die machine using embossing mats. I flicked on some Cool Grey Copic markers to give the bottoms of the clouds their stormy grey appearance.

I cut the cute umbrella twice. Once with white card stock, and again with the polka dotted patterned paper.  I did some super simple Copic coloring on the handle of the umbrella as well as the canopy. I clipped the handle off of the patterned umbrella and added it's canopy onto the the white umbrella piece using foam tape. The last things I did was add the die cut and embossed sentiment and the Clear Dew Drops.

I've added a quick process video below and I hope you check it out! While your visiting our YouTube Channel make sure you SUBSCRIBE!

2 Projects Featuring Lawn Fawn's Love Letters Stamp Set

Hello Everyone! I have 2 quick and simple cards to share featuring Lawn Fawn's Love Letters Stamp Set. The first, I randomly stamped the sweet little cell phone from the set all over a panel of smooth white card stock. I created simple masks by stamping one cell phone image on a stack of full sticky post it notes. I then fussy cut the image. I only had to cut the image one time, because I used the stack of post it's. I can then pull the post it's apart and use each for a different cell phone mask. If you are wanting to achieve the look of a scene (lots of images that are not alike), then I would use Inkadinkado Masking Paper.

While the images are masked, I added a halo of Distress Ink colors with Clarity Stencil Brushes. After removing the masks I added just a tad of shading on the cell phones with my C3 and C00 Copic Markers. You could totally leave this step out. I stamped the mini hearts, also from the stamp set to fill in the empty spaces.

I prepped a strip of black card stock with my anti-static powder tool and then using my Stampaholic Stamping Tool, I stamped the greeting with some Versamark sticky ink. I then coated the greeting with white embossing powder and heat set it with my heat tool.

I finished this card up by embellishing it with some Wink of Stella, Glossy Accents, and Kat Scrappiness Mini Mix It Up Sequin Mix.

For the second card, I did some simple stamping using different images from the same Lawn Fawn Love Letters Stamp Set. I stamped the open envelope first, then the little birds. I filled in the rest of the panel with the closed envelope image. I added some very simple Copic coloring, and some Clear Wink of Stella for a little shimmer. Last but not least, I cut the entire panel using the beautiful new Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fancy Scallop Rectangle Die. I love the uniqueness of these dies. They add so much interest to the edges of your cards. Just look at how pretty the white panel is layered on the red card stock!!!

In Honor of Tiffany!

Hi everyone! Today's project is in honor of my dear friend Tiffany Harrell Gunther. She had this tattooed on her wrist shortly before she passed away this last July. She fought Triple Negative Breast Cancer for about 2 years. She remained strong, faithful, and an amazing inspiration till the very end. This was the perfect sentiment for her. Her life story isn't over. Her character and values live on through her many friends and sweet family. We are still amazed by her grace and can only try and emulate what we saw in her.

Many thanks to Newton's Nook for creating this Awareness Stamp set! All of the supplies used are from Kat Scrappiness and are listed below!
