Hello!!
I'm here today to share a FUN Card I've made for the Honey Bee Stamps Blog and this is SADLY my LAST Post with Honey Bee Stamps as a part of their Design Team!! I have ENJOYED creating with ALL of you and I look forward to still creating and ROCKING my Honey Bee Stamps in the Future to INSPIRE ALL of you, so I hope you’ll still join me on my Blog for MORE Inspiration!!

Today I’ve made a FUN Card using the Hello Gorgeous Stamp Set along with the Hello Gorgeous Sweet Cuts Die Set, the Ten Things Stamp Set, and the Coordinating Ten Things Honey Cuts Die Set, the Let It Snow Stamp Set, and the Coordinating Let It Snow Honey Cuts Die Set, the Happiness Stamp Set, the Sending You Sentiments Stamp Set and the Thanks and Giving Stamp Set!! I wanted to create a FUN Floral Collage with Feathers hanging from it and this is what I came up with!!





I Started by Stamping and Embossing Two of the Floral Cluster Images from the Hello Gorgeous Stamp Set onto Distress Watercolor Paper and then I used the Coordinating Hello Gorgeous Sweet Cuts Die Set to Die Cut them both out!! I used my Zig Markers to Watercolor the Images and then I Stamped and Embossed the Feathers from the Ten Things Stamp Set and used the Coordinating Ten Things Sweet Cuts Die Set to Die Cut them out and Watercolored them using my Zig Markers!! I needed a Banner so I Die Cut the Banner from the Let It Snow Sweet Cuts Die Set from some Black Cardstock and then Embossed the Sentiment in White Embossing Powder from the Ten Things Stamp Set!! I wanted a Detailed Background so I used the Ten Things Stamp Set and Stamped the Circle Scribble Images with Black Versa Fine Ink onto Distress Watercolor Paper that I Die Cut using a Stitched Rectangle Die with White Embossing Powder!! I LOVE the Distressed look that you get!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Large “You” Sentiment from the Thanks and Giving Stamp Set with Clear Embossing Powder!! I adhered the two Floral Cluster Arrangements together using Foam Tape and then I adhered it to my Card using Foam Tape!! I adhered the Feathers Dangling from the Floral Clusters and then adhered the Banner coming from behind the Feathers!! I added some Sparkling Clear Sequins and then I Stamped and Embossed and Sentiment Rectangle for the Inside of my Card!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out and I can’t wait to send it to a Special Friend!!
I thought I’d re-share a Few of my FAVORITE Projects too beings this is my LAST POST!!

HELLO!!
SQUEAL!! Christmas is just Days away!!  I'm up on the Honey Bee Stamps Blog today to share a FUN Gift Tag for any of those LAST Minute Gifts that you have to Wrap!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE to use my Products to make Gift Tags and the Holidays are a PERFECT time to pull them out and use them in yet another AWESOME Way!! To start my Gift Tag I  used the Let It Snow Stamp Set along with the coordinating Let It Snow Sweet Cuts Die Set to Stamp and Die Cut the Sweet Snowman and Bird Images using Distress Markers to Color (Tumbled Glass, Black Soot, Ground Expresso, Carved Pumpkin and Candied Apple) on the Stamps and then Stamping them onto some Distress Watercolor Paper!! I then took a Water Brush and went over some of the Lines to add alittle bit of Watercolored Texture!! I wanted the Snowman to have some Sparkle so I added some of the BEAUTIFUL Ice Chips Glitter!! I LOVE the FUN texture and Sparkle it adds to the Sweet Image!! I also added some to the Ground so it looks like Real Snow!! I Die Cut a Tag Image and Watercolored the Background and then added some of the Pretty Snowflake Images form the Let It Snow Set!! I did the same Technique of Coloring on the Stamp with my Distress Markers using (Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Faded Jeans) to get a FUN Tie Died look!! Then I Embossed them using Clear Embossing Powder!! I added the Sentiment in Black Onyx Versa Fine Ink and then Embossed it using Clear Embossing Powder!! For the Back of the Tag I used the Merry & Joy Stamp Set and Stamped and Embossed the To and From!! Then I repeated the Snowflakes the same way I did them on the Front of the Tag to add some Color and FUN to the Back of the Tag too!!

I hope you give this SWEET Gift Tag a try and if you do I hope you’ll share what you make with us on Social Media!! We LOVE LOVE LOVE to see what you create using the AMAZING Honey Bee Stamps Products!!

Snowman Earrings Gift Set w/ Honey Bee Stamps!! =)

Pin It

Hello!!

 

I'm here with Honey Bee Stamps today to share a SWEET Gift Package that I've made using the New Let It Snow Stamp Set and the Coordinating Let It Snow Sweet Cuts Die Set!! I've also used the New Merry & Joy Stamp Set and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out!!
If you've been to my Blog before, you KNOW I LOVE to make Jewelry too and being able to get MORE out of my Stamps and Dies just makes me HAPPY!! I also LOVE that I can make Handmade Gifts with stuff I already have on hand and they are SO MUCH more personal and meaningful to give too, because they were HANDMADE by Me!! =)
                           

To make the Sweet Little Earring I've used the AWESOME Snowman Image from the Let It Snow Stamp Set and Stamped it onto some Shrink Plastic using MFT Black Hybrid Ink!! I LOVE this Ink for Stamping onto Ranger Inkssentials Shrink Plastic, but you could also use Staz-on Ink if you have that too!! Then I Die Cut the Image out using the Coordinating Let It Snow Sweet Cuts Die Set!! I decided to cut off the Arms though as they would be HARD to keep from breaking once they shrink!! I added a Hole to the Top of the Snowman Image using the Crop-a-Dile and then I Shrunk them!! I used some Nunn Design Open Frames for the Base of my Earrings!! Then I attached a Jump Ring along with some Nunn Design Silver Plated Flat Cable Chain to create a Dangle!! I wanted a Sweet Little Word Banner to Dangle from the Earrings so I used the Banner from the Let It Snow Sweet Cuts Die Set and cut some Ranger Inkssentials Shrink Plastic!! Then I Stamped the Holidays Word using MFT Hybrid Ink in Black!! I Punched a Hole in the Top using a Crop-A-Dile and then I Cut it down to Size and Shrunk it!! I added a Jump Ring and Attached it to the Chain so it would Dangle from the Earrings!! For some added Sparkle I created some Bead Dangles using some BEAUTIFUL True2 Czech Fire Polished Faceted Round Pastel Aqua Beads and some Silver Head Pins!! I attached them onto the Chain (6 of the for each Earring)!! Then I added the Sweet Silver Bow Charms for a touch of even more Cuteness!! Then the Earring Hooks and my Earrings were done!! I've linked to some Videos to share how to create some of the Simple Techniques if you're New to Jewelry making!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Beadaholique Website/Store!! There's SO MUCH Information and Inspiration if you're NEW to Jewelry Making, but would like to LEARN More about it!!
How to Open and Close a Jump Ring Video   How to make a Simple Wire Loop for Jewelry Making Video   How to use Shrink Plastic in Jewelry Making Video   Here's the Link to a Video that I made several years ago sharing How to use Shrink Plastic with your Dies   Here's a Tutorial I made on how to Create the Charms
I hope these will help you in creating some Jewelry for your own Gifts!!   =)
Its really pretty EASY and I think you'll find its SUPER FUN and REWARDING to be able to create Little Gifts or things for yourself using the Images that you LOVE and already have on hand!!
Makes me HAPPY just thinking about it!!  =)

SQUEAL!! I HOPE you're INSPIRED to try and make some Jewelry using your Stamps and if you need anything I hope you'll let me know!! Also I hope you'll share with us on Social Media as I'd (we'd) LOVE to see what you create!! Don't forget to leave your Comments on the Honey Bee Stamps Blog and taheerah-atchia.com for the chances to WIN and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK and HOLIDAY SEASON!!
