Embroidery Hoop Card with HoneyBee Stamps

Hi crafty friends!

Today's post features a 5" square card with my signature texture and detail overload! I have used the Lovely Layers Stitched Elements from HoneyBee Stamps, along with the Circle Embroidery Hoops. Included in the collection are two different sized hoops and 24 element dies that allow you to truly personalize each hoop to your liking.

For the heart trio, I used different colored thread, and stitched onto the pierced paper hoop center, before adding it onto paper that I colored with distress ink and splattered with pearlescent watercolor. The hoop is also colored with Nuvo embellishment mousse, and so are several of the buttons.

One of my favorite elements is the small thread spool, which does include a matching thread die, but I chose to wrap with pretty red twine to match the buttons afinished it with a small heart charm.

Use patterned paper to create your own envelopes. I did so here, using a WeRMemory Keepers punch board. 

For the background I chose a 3D embossing folder from Spellbinders called Distress Mix to add more texture and topped the paper with white ink to help the different images stand out with a delicate color.

For the sentiment, I used a Glitter Wishes sentiment from Spellbinders and gold foil with the help of the Hot Foil system. To make the thimble look realistic, I used holographic foil which I adhered to paper, then cut out using the layered dies. 

This completes my card, and I hope you've been ablle to see how all of these different items can be used for a one-of-a-kind card. All of the items mentioned can be found at ScrapbookPal, and I will leave affiliate links for you to take a peek at what is available. I will only recommend products that I personally use.

Coloring Tutorial with GinaK Heart of the Forest

Hello crafters!

I am sharing a coloring tutorial created with supplies from GinaK. This was my first time using her darling stamps and coordinating dies. My card tutorial includes the different Copic color combinations I selected to create three different A2 size cards. 

To keep this tutorial super simple I decided to use the same card base sizes and colors. The focus of each card was the pairing of the cute little critters in the stamp collection. To make sure they stood out, I also combined the images with different stamp-shaped backgrounds.

These cards are perfect for any time of the year, and the sentiments can be used separately, as they also have coordinating dies, which makes it super easy to reach for in a pinch!

You will notice that I took creative license with one of the images, and transformed it into a racoon by simply using black and white ink to add little details. This is an easy technique you can use with a little imagination.

I do hope you have enjoyed this tutorial, and you can watch me make more cards like these on my Youtube channel, so be sure to subscribe and click the notification  bell to stay in touch, or save this page to your bookmark bar!
