The craftroom sort out unearthed some hidden gems and this was one of them, it was a stamped, coloured and die cut panel just calling out for a sentiment. Bish, Bash, Bosh and it was made.
the clear out/sort has revealed that I like to colour about three times as many images as I need and then I just store them so I will hopefully be using more soon.
Friends of ours recently moved and are now living in my home country (Wales if you didn’t know lol) the farmhouse they bought looks fabulous and I know they will be very happy there.
Of course I wanted to send them a card that looked similar to the house and I know it has been received and they loved it.
Of course I couldn’t just use the stuff once lol. I think I like these colours more than the previous one. It’s so simple to colour with stencils my copics are feeling neglected lol.
This stamp and stencil set from Honey Bee was part of my crop and create kit from 2022. I wanted to attend another so I thought I should use some of the stuff from the last one before I do. I used a crafters companion sentiment as I mostly make birthday cards rather than thinking of you etc.
Another very good friend announced that they are moving after living in their house for 31 years, it has made me think maybe I need to have a clear out soon.
This time I went for an easel card and I really enjoyed making both of these cards. I am hoping that I will use the dies again soon.
A very good friend finally moved to be closer to her grandson and I wanted to send her a card to let her know how pleased I was for her and her family. I bought this die set back in 2022 and it’s the first time I have used it but I did make two cards in one sitting although the other is very different to this one
I watched a Jennifer McGuire video and she created this type of card and I had a lightbulb moment and thought that would work with the honey bee set I bought last year.
Now I don't buy the matching dies very often if at all but this set made apertures so I bought them. Of course the aperture was too big for this card so I ended up with a circle (which i now wish was smaller lol). The whole thing was going swimmingly until in my wisdom I decided that as I had the matching die I would cut several layers and use it behind each set of flowers doh!!!! of course now they don't bend so the card doesn't work as well but I am still pleased with it.
So I wanted this die set when Honey Bee released it but it was a bit out of my price range, so imagine my surprise when I see it in the clearance section for $14…. I built a whole order around it to get free shipping lol.
Of course then the dilemma of where to get the shiny black paper for the lid started, after searching for ages online I decided to wait and see what was in my stash and guess what…. I already had some lol. I made two at the same time and have plans for more too.
The final one for now and combining two of my favourite colours, I think if you haven’t tried the stamp and stencil combo you definitely need to especially if you don’t like to colour
So this one I discovered I could use multiple colours and looking at it I’m wondering why I never went rainbow lol. I didn’t make multiples of this colour scheme which now I’m writing this I have no idea why. It’s been almost a year since I made them but I think I should make some more
My second attempt and with my favourite colour too. It still works and I still like it lol.
It’s a perfect card for the ladies in our lives, especially the green fingered ones lol.
This was my first try with this stamp and stencil set from Honey Bee and before I realised I could stencil the flowers in multiple colours. I still really like it though and I love the stencil with the stamp as it’s so quick and easy to achieve beautiful colouring without picking up a pen.
