Hey guys, I am over on the Honey Bee Stamps blog today, showcasing a card made using the age-old technique of Straw Painting! Well, technically I was using ink instead of paint, but it still gives fab results!
I have used the confetti greeting from the Beautiful Life stamp set, along with the All Prettied Up dies from mama elephant.
For the inside I thought it would be fun to give the recipient some extra confetti, so I added a little treat to the inside of the card!
There are more photos and instructions over on the blog post on the Honey Bee Stamps site, so be sure to check it out to see more of this project.
IT’S HERE! Autumn is my MOST FAVOURITE time of the year! I love the colours, I love the smell, I love the clothes, I love everything! It is definitely one of my most favourite things.
So of course it was only fitting to share a autumn card with you guys today, and to use some My Favorite Things stamps on there… and I have mixed in some of my other faves too – Lawn Fawn and Mama Elephant stamp sets too!
For the scene I have used the lawn fawn stitched rectangle dies, stitched border dies and simple stitched hillside border dies, and used distress inks to add some rich autumnal colours!
This card had lots of cute stamps from the Forest Friends set from MFT stamps, and Jump for joy stamp set from lawn fawn, coloured with copic markers. For the greeting, I used a sentiment from the Jump for joy set, and created the word YIPPEE with the Cali Letters set from Mama Elephant! I used the misti to help me get it in just the right position. This alpha is so very pretty!
Here’s the video tutorial for you to enjoy… as for me, I’m off to wrap up warm and take a walk through the woods! Happy Crafting! 🙂
Oh, and before I go, I will be over on the Honey Bee Stamps blog tomorrow, so i hope to see you guys there! Cheerio!
This card focuses on two main techniques – firstly, embossing <3, and secondly, a little creative thinking when it comes to stretching your stamps – here’s a clue -the ribbon image behind the bear is actually a flag stamp from the Honey Bee Stamps Special Delivery set. There are loads more details, as well as more photos, over on the Honey Bee Stamps blog. Why not come and take a look!
Thanks for stopping by, have a crafty day!
Oh, and I should also tell you that the GIVEAWAY is still open. See the post below for more details!
