Beautiful Butterflies with Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's my day once again to post on the Honey Bee Stamps Blog!!

For my card today, I once again used the awesome Thanks set:

My focus on this card was to use those beautiful butterflies a bunch of times in some fun colors!

The large butterfly is so beautiful...

I just LOVE all the details in it!

So the "thanks" on my card is actually two stamps!

It consists of "thank" and "s"!  I just love the versatility of this set!  So many amazing uses!

I stamped out "thank" and "you", as well as stamping out the "thank" along with the "s": 

It's so amazing, the "thanks" looks as those it is one stamp!

Again, it's so amazing to have one stamp set with so much options!!

A close-up of the pretty butterflies and sentiment:

I love all the tiny sentiments in the set as well that you can use along with the larger sentiment.  In this case I decided to use the "so" and the "much"!!

Here's a look at the entire stamp  set:

Such a lovely set!!

"Bee" sure to check out all the lovely products Honey Bee Stamps has to offer!

Happy Stamping!!

Glittery Lights with IBS

Good Morning Stamping Friends!!

I am on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today, sharing a fun glittery holiday card!

I love the new  Festive Greetings stamp set!

Perfect set for those holiday cards!!

When I seen the lights in the set I knew I wanted to make them glittery!  As holiday cards are so fun to create with glitter!

And I LOVE glitter!!

I started by collecting some supplies:

Tub O Towels (To clean the glue off the stamp)

Glitter!!

Glue

Stamp Set

Ink Pads

Start by stamping the string for the lights and the ends of the bulbs where you would like them.

I stamped the "string" twice to make them a longer strand.

I have this actual glue pad that I like to us, but I needed to add some new glue to it.  (If I didn't have this pad, I would use a foam applicator to add the glue to my stamps)

So I added a little glue.

Then I wiped it into the pad a little bit with my finger...

Next you are ready to "glue up" your stamp!

Lightly dab the stamp on the pad, just like it were ink.

Then stamp it where you would like it...

If you look closely you can see the glue light.

Then the FUN begins!  As well as messy part!!  hehe

I use my finger tip to grab some glitter...

Then gently rub the image where the glue is...

So fun! Sparkly! And messy!!  But so worth it in the end!

The nice thing about this glue, is that it don't try until after something else is in contact with it!  So you have some time to add the glitter!

Check out the pretty light....

I love the look!!

I then let it dry for awhile.

You are then ready to assemble your card!

Here's a look at my finished card:

Aren't the lights fun?!

I just LOVE all the glitter!

So festive!

Let Your Love Shine with TSOL

Hello Crafty Friends!!

I have a fun card to share with you today using some awesome products from The Stamps of Life!!

Earlier this week The Stamps of Life introduced the new lightbulbs2stamp set along with coordinating Lightbulb Dies!!!

The lightbulbs2stamp set was so much fun to work with!!

My first card I created was this shaker card, I could resist!!  

 Super simple, yet so fun and bright!!

I love how you can build with this set.  On the filament of the lightbulb I thought it would be fun to add the heart stamp that was included in the set, goes perfectly with the sentiment!!

Top Dog Dies Guest Designer

Hello Crafty Friends!!

I am so excited to be able to guest design with Top Dog Dies!!

They have so many amazing and fun dies to work with!

I was sent a few to work with and these are the projects I created:

First up, a fun Halloween Project Life Card!!

I was so excited to get the Pocket Page Halloween Die Set!

I added some sparkle to the witches hat, along with some twine!

I absolutely love the frame!  The little holes along the scallop edge add such a nice touch!!

I die cut the cute candies twice, each of them on two different pattern papers.  I love the look!  Really makes them look like wrapper candies!!

---------

Next I have a super sweet Halloween package!

I started by die cutting the Treat Bag Die, to give me my packaging!!  I absolutely LOVE this die, a must have in my opinion!!

It creates such a cute little package, perfect for any occasion, in this case a cute little package for a kid!! (Or could even be an adult!)

I die cut the adorable cat from the Pocket Page Halloween Die Set!

I just had to add some googly eyes to it!!

I used the awesome new Banner Die Set to create the layers:

They are a great added touch to this package.

Now the package is all ready for some goodies!!

---------

And lastly, I created a beautiful Halloween banner using the new Banner Die Set!

I just love how it turned out!!

Here I have it hanging on our dining room hutch:

What a fun piece of decor!

The banner set will be so much fun to create banners like this for each holiday!!  Imagine the gift ideas with this die set!!

Close-up of the letters:

 I used the Banner Die Set to create all the layers on each of the banners.  I love all three of the shapes!!

I used the Vintage Alphabet Die Set to cut out the "Boo" sentiment!

 I just love that die set to create your own sentiments!! 

I also used the Leafy Flourishes Die Set, to create the swirly accents on each banner piece.

I think it adds the perfect final touch!

---------

I hop you have enjoyed all my Halloween projects today, using some awesome dies from Top Dog Dies!  Be sure to check out their site to see all that they have to offer!

Have a wonderful day!
