Christmas card with Honey Bee Stamps | Video Post
August 20, 2017
Happy Sunday everyone, today I'm sharing a quick post with a very quick and easy Christmas card and matching envelope. I used Sweet as Honey stamp set and Joy To The Word stamp set by Honey Bee Stamps.
These stamp sets are extremely versatile and I found very easy to work with them.
These stamp sets are extremely versatile and I found very easy to work with them.
I only used 3 of the 38 stamps from Sweet as Honey stamp set and 2 of the 27 beautiful sentiments from Joy To The Word stamp set so the sky's the limit when thinking about using all the images in these sets.
Joy to the Word stamp set includes great sentiments for Christmas themed cards and also for Bible Journaling or to create religious cards anytime as it also include biblical quotes. Love it!
To add colour I used Spectrum Noir Metallic Pencils and I mixed them with Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils to add a bit of contrast.
I'm preparing a quick video to show you the process to create these cards so stay tuned, it will be available in my YouTube Channel here at the end of next week.
Who I did it
- I visited my local craft shop and they had on sale Paperado cardstock which is amazing for printing or stamping but not so great for heat embossing or watercolour so I knew I have to add colours with pencils or alcohol markers to avoid paper warping.... I just felt in love with the colour of the carsdtock I used for the project today and the envelopes are stunning with high quality lining inside. LOVE!!
- I hand stamped the images using Stampin' Up ! craft Ink (white) and to stamp the sentiment I used the Tim Holtz Stamping Platform
- I added colours with gently pressure.
- I added white dots on the flower petals using a white gel pen.
- I embellished using Nuvo Crystal Drops Raspberry Pink.
That' all for today... Thanks so much for stopping by. I really hope you like this simple project. Do not hesitate to ask any questions or leave a comment I would love to hear from you.

Hi Bibi - I am loving the blue card and envelope and both sets of the Honey Bee stamps are lovely. I've just visited their website - wow! I enjoy using metallic crayons / pencils too.
ReplyDeleteLike you I love the Bible Journaling and Biblical quotes stamps / stamp sets as I enjoy Bible Journaling and keep a prayer diary.
Good Luck for Edinburgh (what's that all about?)
Thanks, as always, for sharing
