Hi there, crafty friends! I've got one last holiday card to share before the holiday season is over. This "Season's Greetings" card has winter greenery, a seasonal plaid, and a very special bell. I'm using the following Honey Bee Stamps products for this festive 5" X 7" greeting:
Lovely Layers: Sleigh Bell Honey Cut dies
Warm Holiday Wishes stamps and coordinating Honey Cuts dies
For the basics... my Honey Bee Stamps featured project below is made from Neenah 80lb Solar White cardstock for the card base and card front panel. All of the black ink stamping was done using Honey Bee’s Bee Creative Intense Black Ink. I use Honey Bee Stamps Bee Creative Precision Glue and for when I want more dimension, Bee Creative Foam Dots With Tab for adhering my elements together. My blender brushes (large and small) are a must for ink blending color on the background, too. For white highlights, I use my white Gelly Roll pen. My card is 5" X 7" in size.
To make this 5" X 7" card, I die cut the bell using a silver and warm gray cardstock using the Lovely Layers: Sleigh Bell Honey Cut dies. I used an antique gold metallic cardstock for the metal band at the center of the bell. I used a Pearl Pen in the same color to add the dots of gold to make it dimensional. A red bow finished the look for the bell.
I die cut greenery from green cardstock and berries from red cardstock using the same Honey Cuts dies.
I assembled the bell, and attached it to the A2-sized pine wreath paper included in the FREE BEE (see below for details) using foam tabs to make it stand out. I attached the greenery die cuts and berries and attached them at the top of the bell. I added a few red berries around the wreath, too.
I splattered white paint over the bell and wreath background paper and set it aside to dry.
To finish the card, I used papers from the Merry Moments Paper Pad to create the textural background. After attaching the green and gold diamond paper at the top (5" wide X 6" long), I attached a 5" wide X 1" tall red plaid strip to the bottom. A metallic gold 5" X 1/8" tall strip was added to the seam. The bell / wreath rectangle was added to the card front.
Finally, I stamped, die cut and attached the sentiments from the Warm Holiday Wishes stamps and coordinating Honey Cuts dies.
