Something Saturday - Hooray for Honeycomb Kit

Image
 Hi there Creators, Today I thought we'd take a look at one of the new Kits that Stampin' Up! has brought out, it's really fun!, the name "honeycomb" kind of gives it away🤣 There are 9 cards to create, and it's a nice simple kit, would make an excellent gift for anyone who is thinking of starting off with card-making, there's no stamping involved - it's all "stick it together" and everything is included to do this.  At $32 it works out to $3.56 per card (which let's face it is pretty cheap for a card these days!) So here are the cards you can make (3 of each): Don't you just love the matching envelopes? The front of each card has clear embossed shiny bits on it (most obvious on the rainbow card at the top! with my photography) And there you have it, I haven't had the chance to play around and see what else I can create with this kit yet, so if you get it and do play around, let me know what you do! If you missed the video here it

Arrange a Wreath Bundle

Hi there Creators,
I'm making myself a bit of a challenge to make at least 3 cards with each set of stamps/dies that I've bought, so here we are onto day 4 (not sure how long I'll be able to keep it up, but so far so good lol)  I figured while I'm making them I'm going to share them with you all (hope you enjoy it and it inspires you).

Hence, I've moved onto the Arrange a Wreath Bundle today which consists of the Arrange a Wreath Stamp set and the Wreath Builder Dies.   If you end up with a bundle you save 10% on the cost of buying them (bonus) .  Anyway you're not here to hear me waffle!, on to the cards.....

Soooo...... the reason I bought this set was for the wreath's, and Christmas!  however it does come with this cute "Love" heart, and flowers....and bow!

For this card I've teamed it up with the Artistry Blooms Patterned Paper, which as I mentioned in the last post, I really love the grading in the paper!, also used the lovely Rainbow Glimmer Paper to create the bow (oh and the Artistry Blooms Sequins for the flower centres, really like the fact they don't have a hole in the middle of them!

Then of course I had to make Christmas cards, it's never too early to make Christmas cards lol!

For this card I didn't have any patterned paper that I felt would work behind the flowers, so I made some.  I've just taken my dauber (the paper and ink are both Old Olive) if you ink up your dauber and "puff" it round your card, then using the edge of the dauber, sort of scrape on extra lines, it gives quite a cool effect!  I've also taken one of the cut out pieces and used the piece it came out of to create a mask for the background of the card.  I did discover that the teeny tiny circle die that's in the set, is there to create a circle to go behind the centre of the flower! (who knew! lol)  Oh and I've used the absolutely stunning Brass Foil Sheets, and the Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

And for the final card I couldn't resist........... And a Partridge in a Pear Tree (did you sing it?)

So this card I've used the Artistry Blooms Patterned Paper again underneath, some Diamantes, which I had intended to use for the birds eye, but that didn't look right! (got to improvise lol)  Oh and the Lovely Labels Pick a Bunch punch for the saying, I've punched both ends, I will say with this, that if you're using a short piece of paper, make sure you check the back of the punch to ensure it's in the right place!
The pears are inked up with the Pear Pizzazz, I've used my real red dauber to add a touch of red to one side, then stamped (thankfully there's 2 pears per stamp 😊)

Did you have a favourite? let me know!
I hope this inspires you to get creating.
God Bless love
