Congrats on a New Home!

Sharon Y.6 Comments

Hi guys! An early Happy British Columbia Day to all! As a Canadian shop, we’re celebrating this special day with a 15% OFF sitewide, today and tomorrow!

Today I have a card for you featuring multiple stamps and dies from different releases!

To set the scene, I used the body of the Home Sweet Home stand-alone die cut on The Sandstone Series – Cool Granite – Heavy Weight Premium Cardstock. I blended Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink onto it for some added shadowing. I then cut out the roof using the Mysterious Galaxy – Medium Weight Premium Cardstock. This cardstock has a subtle shimmer to it and I like it a lot for the roof!

I took some patterned paper and The Sandstone Series – Banana Boat – Premium Fine Paper to mimic wallpapers on the inside of the home.

I stamped and Copic colored images from multiple stamp sets, including Happy Track and Field (Chapter 2), Sweet Ride, Lucky Break, Bee Happy, Cuddly Sheeps Seasons’ Greetings, Rabbit Café, Summer Sunshine, My BFF, and Congratulations!

I took the adorable girl from Sweet Ride and the cute bunny from Happy Track and Field (Chapter 2) and placed them inside the home, looking out the window and the door. I took the boy from Lucky Break and place him in front of the house.

I then placed the tiny bee from Bee Happy on the window sill, and bells from Cuddly Sheep’s Season’s Greetings on the door for some extra décor!

I also gave the little bunny a rose which was from the My BFF stamp set!

I thought the home needed more decorations, so I stamped the plants from Rabbit Café multiple times, and used them as potted plants in front of this home.

I used sentiments from the Congratulations stamp set to finish off this card. I did some masking to make “Congratulations” into a short-form “Congrats!” as I thought the full version was a bit long for this card, and I’m happy with how it turned out!

For the final touch, I added the smiley sunshine from the Summer Sunshine stamp set to give the card a little warmth!

I hope you like today’s card. Thanks so much for stopping by!

And don’t forget, we are working hard on our next release, and we hope to bring you some new goodies real soon!

Jo’s Bee Happy Shaker Card Video!

Sharon Y.2 Comments

Hi crafty friends. Jo is back to share another beautiful interactive card for us today! Check out her video below or click HERE to watch it over on our YouTube Channel!

This card is so vibrant and bright! I love how the shaker card window shows a bunch of pink hearts as the background, created using the Rain of Hearts stencil.

Most of the images on this card were from the Bee Happy stamp set.

The cute little bow on the lady bee was from the Sweetest Truck stamp set. I love that she stamped out the swirly trail image multiple times on the white background to form a cool pattern. She also added some boarder details to her card using the Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangle Overlays stand alone die.

I really love the big red heart frame die cut which is a gorgeous accent making the shaker window the focal point of her card!

Thanks Jo! This is such a fun and happy creation!

An Adorable Encouragement Card with Jo!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi guys, happy Friday! Jo is back today with a lovely encouragement card for all of us, featuring products from our very first release, the Bee Happy stamp set! Check out her video tutorial on our YouTube Channel!

This is a clean and simple card. She took images from the Bee Happy stamp set and colored them with Copics and die cut them with the coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts. I love that she stamped a whole bunch of flowers and put them into the Honey jar and made it into a pot of plant!

She used the largest dies from both the Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangles Overlays and the Dots Meet Dashes Small Rectangles Overlays for her card panels and layered them.

I really love the color combination on this card, including the bright yellow hues together with the black and white card stock, and the large black alphabet die cut letters.

Let’s all BEE Positive! Thank you Jo for your encouragement card! We all need this positivity around us!

Fun Adventure and Bee Happy cards with Karin!

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi there! I’m super excited to share today’s cards created by our Featured Designer Karin Åkesdotter!

Karin selected 1:1 proportion for both of her cards which I really love!

On the first card, Karin used our Fun Adventure stamp set and coordinating dies.

I adore the beautifully ink blended sky she created. She stamped multiple times the trees and the mountains to create this charming landscape background.

For the foreground she colored in these cute little images which pop out nicely from the bright white background. I love the little cheek detailing on these characters!^.^

For Karin’s second card, she used one of our earlier release, Bee Happy stamp set and its coordinating dies. I love bold white frame which sets the focal point for the bee couple and the honey jar.

The snowy background pairs nicely with the lovely blended blue sky.

Karin, thank you so much for your awesome inspirations!
