Guest Designer Spotlight: Sweet As Can Bee Cards with June Helsen

Hello everyone, it's June Helsen again with some new cards using the latest release! I'm so happy I was invited as a guest designer for this release, because it has one of my favorite things in it: bees! Well I don't like actual bees, but when it comes to stamps I LOVE them! So that counts.

The first card I created combines the new Sweet As Can Bee stamp set with an older one, Holiday Hugs. It's always so great when you can use your holiday sets year round by making some adjustments, and this one is perfect for that. A bear with a striped scarf? Isn't that the perfect image to use together with these bees and their pot of honey? 

I made a background using the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal and the Diagonal and Straight Stripes stencils. These 2 layer perfectly to create a summery plaid pattern with lots of texture. I framed my scene using the largest of the Fancy Frames Rectangle dies. I tucked the bear and bee trails into the frame, but layered the honey dipper and pot on top so it looks like the bear is coming out of the frame.

I finished my card by adding one of the sentiments from the Sweet As Can Bee stamp set. I always love it when a sentiment has a matching die, so I just had to use the 'Honey Bee'!

My second card is equally as colorful and uses the same bees, this time with a honeycomb instead. I cut a square from the light green woodgrain paper that's in the Amazing Argyle Paper Pack and cut a smaller one from white cardstock, which I blended some green ink on. I also added ink splatters for some more texture. I framed that square using some of the Fancy Frames Square dies, one in brown and one in blush cardstock. I popped the frame up on some foam tape to make it stand out a bit more.

I created a scene with my Sweet As Can Bee stamped images where the bees are flying out of and around the honeycomb. I tucked some flowers around it to add another pop of color to match the frame. To finish my card, I used the same 'Honey' I used before in a different sentiment. 

I love how colorful these 2 cards turned out! I always love a good pop of yellow in a card design, so there might be a reason I always love bee stamps so much! I hope you enjoyed reading about my cards, and I hope you're all enjoying the newly released products equally as much. Bye everyone!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Afternoon Tea Cards with June Helsen

Hi crafty friends! It's June here, and I'm back again as a guest designer for the summer release! I'm so excited to share the cards I've created with the Afternoon Tea Stamps.

My first card features the teapot and cups in a very summer-y setting. I colored them in with little yellow and teal details, but left them mostly white. I decorated the teapot with the sunflower from the new Sweet as Can Bee Stamps. I also added some of them around my scene, as well as the leaves and lemons from the same set. I love how the flowers and lemons bring in more of the tea set's yellow.

I cut a square card panel from one of the teal patterned papers in the Gingham Pastels Paper pack for my background. Instead of backing my scene with the busy gingham directly, I cut a Fancy Frames Square, backed it with some vellum, and popped it up with some foam tape. 

It kinda reminds me of a tablecloth with a square doily, which I think matches the tea time theme really well! The only thing left to do was add a sentiment, so I cut a sentiment strip from brown cardstock and embossed the 'sip sip hooray' from the Afternoon Tea Stamp on it.

For the second card, I wanted to go for a totally different theme. When I think of teacups and pots, there's one thing I think of right away: Chip and Mrs. Potts from Beauty and the Beast! So that's exactly what inspired me when creating my next card.

I colored them in exactly as Mrs. Potts and Chip, which ended up working really well with these stamps. I know it's not visible on my card, but I used a fineliner to add the scalloped border on the bottom before coloring it pink and blue. Sadly, that part got covered up in my final design, cause that really made them look like their respective characters. I also used the fineliner to add a little chip on the teacup, of course!

The stamp set also includes a beautiful cluster of flowers that I colored in twice using purple and green to match my color palette. I also stamped the scripted Mother's Day sentiment in a similar purple ink. A perfect sentiment for these characters if you ask me!

For my background, I took an unexpected turn by going for a bright yellow instead of more of that soft purple that I've brought in a couple of times. I thought it would be fun to use a variety of products with scallops and curls to mimic Belle's dress. For the card panel itself, I inked a soft yellow blend and added some ink splatters. For the elements I added on top, I used a darker shade of yellow, like the one in many illustrations of Belle. I ended up going for the Fancy Frame Rectangles Dies and one of the Loopy Rectangle Frames Dies.

I hope you enjoyed reading about my cards and seeing the amazing cards the design team has made using the new release. I wish you all a very creative week. Have fun crafting!
