More fun with Honey Bee Stamps – Strawberries and Animal Tags!

Hi friends! Happy Monday (again already?!) Hope your weekend was a good one! We had a mellow but fun weekend here in Sactown. The weather continues to be astonishingly beautiful. We have yet to have a day at 100 this Season (hope I didn't just jinx us!) We are enjoying being outside a lot. I've been creating a lot of fun things too, and decorating for the 4th of July! What are you up to these days?? Let me know! 

I have some more projects made with lovely supplies from Honey Bee Stamps! These stamps and dies have been sitting on my desk too long! I was so excited to finally use everything, especially those strawberries dies!! (More fruits! Ha) I have a card to share, and some cutie patootie tags also. Let's go!

First up is my vintage inspired strawberry card. My finished card is an A2 kraft card base, layered with strips, cream cardstock, vellum and a little fence too!! My card features the brand new Lovely Layers Strawberries Dies and the new Delicate Daisy Coverplate Base die. OHHH LA LA – these are perfect together.

 

Here's my side view so you can see all my layers and where I added dimension via foam dots… The striped paper is from Honey Bee also and it's the perfect vintage green color… I used cream cardstock for my base layer instead of bright white.

 

Here's a close up of that beautiful cover plate…. (Supplies are listed at the bottom of my post) 

For the sentiment I used the Seeds of Kindness stamp set and matching die and just cut out the part of the stamp that says 'strawberries.'

 

For the strawberries cluster, I die cut the strawberries from light pink cardstock and ink blended with a small sponge dauber and a couple of shades of Distress Inks. For the leaves I used green cardstock and inked them the same way. The flower is die cut from cream and yellow cardstocks. As I love to do, I used lots of ink splatters!! I die cut the fence dies from kraft cardstock and ink blended/splattered that too! I added bits of Stickles glitter and a few gems for good measure.

 

I used a vellum scalloped circle under the fence, because why not!? I love vellum on everything!

 

This card makes me happy!!

 

For my next project, I made some tags using the Heart Hugs dies! They are the cutest little critters! You can use them on cards or boxes or tags or anything! I chose to make a couple of fun tags that I can tie on a gift or put on an assembled card later. I used the awesome Hero Arts Infinity Tags to die cut my tags from cream cardstock. The sentiments I used are from older Honey Bee stamp sets that are discontinued, but you can add any sentiments from your stash!

 

 

It's hard to pick a favorite critter from this trio!! For this larger tag I layered a scalloped circle also in cream. I stamped the bottom of the tag with the sentiment and did a few black splatters of paint. I used red gingham paper for the top of the tag to match the hearts they're holding. 

I die cut the animals from colored cardstock and added white gel pen accents. I also used some chalks to give them rosy cheeks. These came together easily and were fun to make.

 

And here's that sweet bear! He reminds me of Yogi!! I love how the arms are die cut out so they can hold objects like these pretty gingham hearts!! These would be really fun for Valentines!
