Sweet As Can Bee Card with Tina M

Hello there! Tina M here sharing a card created with the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps!

I have a mini slim line card for you today! The size of the card base is 3,50 x 6 inches. I added a piece of orange polka dot paper from the Polka-Dot Parade Paper pack to cover the card base, using double sided tape.

Next, on a piece of white card stock I ink blended orange and pink ink. I then trimmed a piece of black cardstock for a frame to go behind my ink blended panel and adhered them both to the card base, using double sided tape. Now on to the stamping of the images!

I stamped the bees, the beehive, the little bucket and the heart shaped swirl from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps set and the branch, leaves and flowers from the Love Birds Stamps set on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and used the coordinating Sweet As Can Bee Dies and Love Birds Dies to die cut them out and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below. I added the leaves and flowers to the branch using liquid glue.

Copic colors used:
Bees: YR04, Y15/17, B01/000
Beehive: YR04/07, Y15/17, N5/6/8
Branch: E21/23/25
Leaves: YG03/17
Flowers: Y17, RV52/55

Next, I added foam dots to the back of the die cut images for dimension and adhered them to the card, except for the heart swirl which I glued directly to the panel using liquid glue.

For the sentiment I stamped the “Just buzzin´ by to say” from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps set at the bottom of the panel. I used the Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies to die cut the HI letters out of pink and black cardstock. I layered and adhered the letters to each other and then onto the panel.

To complete my card I used Distress Rock Cand and Distress Matte medium for glue to the wings of the bees and to the center of the flowers for some sparkle!

Thanks for stopping by! Wishing you all a happy and colorful day!

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!

Sweet As Can Bee Card with Yan

Hello friends! Yan here—I’m excited to share a bright and cheerful card featuring the new Summer release from Sunny Studio, using the adorable Sweet As Can Bee Stamps. This collection is full of playful and charming images, perfect for creating fun, lighthearted summer designs.

To begin, I stamped the lively images from the Sweet As Can Bee set onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then colored them with Copic markers to bring out their cheerful personality. Once finished, I used the coordinating Sweet As Can Bee Dies to cut them out neatly. 

COPIC COLOR:
Bee : B000, B12, C1, C4, C7, E31, E41, R32, Y00, Y02, Y15, Y19
Honey Jar : BG93, E30, E31, E35, R46, Y00, Y02, Y15, YR61, YR65, YR68
Flower : G14, G40, R43, RV10, RV11, Y00, Y02, Y15, Y19, YG03
Honey Dipper : E30, E31, E35
Lemon : Y00, Y02, Y15, Y19

For the background, I blended Distress Oxides in Worn Lipstick, Twisted Citron, and Mowed Lawn onto another piece of white cardstock. These bright, fresh colors come together to create a vibrant summer feel.

Next, I used another piece of white cardstock and die cut a frame using the Stitched Label Frame from the Icing Rectangle Frame Dies. I then stamped a sentiment from the stamp set onto the frame to complete the design. Finally, I assembled all the elements using foam tape and glue to add dimension and bring the whole card together.

I hope this cheerful summer card inspires your next crafting project!

Sneak Peek: Introducing Afternoon Tea Teacup & Teapot Stamps & Dies

Hello, and welcome to day 2 of our Summer Sneak Peek Week!  All this week I am sharing cards showcasing our newest collection, which will be available for purchase this Friday!

Card No. 1: Today, I am sharing our new Afternoon Tea Stamps, which include a cute teapot, two different coordinating teacups, a saucer, a spoon, teabags, sugar cubes, a floral arrangement, one large Mother's Day greeting, and a number of other punny everyday greetings to enjoy this set all year long. 

For my first card, I started by die-cutting a stitched panel from the Spring Fever Paper pack using the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies. I then layered an embossed, scalloped mat cut from white cardstock over that, using the Frilly Frames Lattice Dies. I started by die-cutting the lacy outer edge with the outer die, then ran the mat through my die-cutting machine again with the inner die and an embossing mat so it would emboss the cardstock rather than cut it out. Lastly, I cut a stitched sentiment strip using the Slimline Pennant Dies cut from a pink gingham print found in the Gingham Pastels Paper pack. It felt a bit plain on its own, so I dressed it up by cutting small scalloped trim for both sides from lavender cardstock with the Slimline Basic Border Dies. The tiny, layered flowers I used to decorate my teapot and draw attention to my greeting are also included in the new stamp set.

Card No. 2: Next up, I have a Mother's Day card using the new Afternoon Tea Stamps. I started by coloring three teacups and saucers with floral to adorn the top of each with my Copic Markers, and then framed them all lined up with our Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies. I inked up behind the row of cups with a blend of spun sugar and picked Raspberry Distress inks, then tucked the oversized Mother's Day greeting between the last two teacups. This simple design came together quite quickly after my images were colored, and I love how it turned out!

Card No. 3: For this fun card featuring the Afternoon Tea Stamps, I used the polka-dot and partial polka-dot images from the set to staple a polka-dot pattern, then colored my images in a bold red & white print. I wish I had a tea set like this in real life! I accented my scene with some lemons from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps and framed them all using the Frilly Frames Polka-Dot Dies. Lastly, I stamped the punny greetings from the set with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

Card No. 4: My next Afternoon Tea card stacks the two teacup styles into a fun rainbow of four cups with a saucer. To make them look like they are stacked inside each other, I fussy-cut and trimmed a slit along the side of each cup. I also alternated the two styles so that the handles alternated between the left and right sides. I experienced a die-cutting mishap on my second card, but I hated to throw out the entire piece, so I repurposed the good parts of the die-cut for this card, using the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies to bleed off the top and bottom. I also cut two 1" strips of a rainbow gingham print from the Spring Fever Paper pack to adhere on the two outside edges to pull together all the colors from my teacups.

Card No. 5: For this Mother's Day Card using the Afternoon Tea Stamps, I started by embossing a white cardstock panel using the Dapper Diamond Embossing Folder. I then trimmed a bit from both the top and bottom to allow a pink-striped print from the Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper pack to show through. This is yet another great way to use up the extra scraps you have leftover after trimming an A2 panel from a 6x6 patterned paper. I have a clear bag where I always store my scraps, and I always reach for it first when I need just a little something extra to dress up my cards. 

For my focal point, I colored a teacup with a mismatched saucer filled with flowers and stamped the large Mother's Day greeting from the set in a coordinating Lilac ink. I then arranged all the cute little layered flowers I had already stamped earlier for my first card, creating a floral diamond print in the background. This card was almost entirely made from scraps on my desk, so I was super happy with how it came together. In fact, the green teacup was a leftover from my last card when I realized I had accidentally colored the wrong teacup green, and I wondered how I was ever going to make a green teacup work on another card, so it just goes to show you can almost rescue any creative mistake.

Card No. 6: Yesterday, I shared a sneak peek of our new Sweet As Can Bee Stamps coming out on Friday, and today I have another card combining that set with our new Afternoon Tea Stamps. I started by cutting four 3/8" strips of striped paper from our Spring Fever Paper pack and mitering the corners for the strips on the left and right sides to allow the stripe to show on all four sides of my card. I then added a stitched mat, cut from white cardstock using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Lastly, I arranged all the images from the two sets to create a darling scene with the teapot, teacup, honey, lemon, and bumblebees, before I stamped the punny greeting on either side of my teapot.

That wraps up today's sneak peek. I'm so happy you joined me today! I'd love to give a $50 gift code to one lucky winner, who will be randomly selected from comments on this blog post and on our Facebook and Instagram posts. Our daily contests will run through Saturday, April 25th, at Midnight PST, with winners announced here on our blog on Sunday, April 26th.
