Birthday Gnome Card featuring Trinity Stamps and Honey Bee Stamps

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. To round off my birthday card series, I decided to make another card with the Springtime Gnome die set from Trinity Stamps! I combined it with the Honey Bee Stamps Birthday Tag Die set.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create an A2 card base, and another piece of Honey Bee Stamps Let’s Party 6 x 8.5″ Paper cut to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I also cut a piece of vellum to 3-3/4 x 5″.
I die cut the gnome using the Trinity Stamps Springtime Gnome. I used Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ for the beard, face, nose and hands, Honey Bee Stamps Giddy For Gingham 6 x 8.5″ Paper Pad for the hat, as well as Tim Holtz Metallic Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Kraft Stock Paper. I cut his shoes as well as the balloons and banners from Tim Holtz Metallic Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock Paper.

I colored his face and nose with Copic Markers. I used R20, E0000 and E00. And B32 and B34 for his hands.

I stamped the sentiment from Mini Messages: Birthday 4×5 Stamp Set onto some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and used the coordinating dies to cut it out.

On the inside of the card, I added a strip of pattern paper from Honey Bee Stamps Let’s Party 6 x 8.5″ Paper which I cut to 1-1/4 x 4-1/4″ and added a die cut word from Catherine Pooler Celebrate Die (retired) cut from the same paper pad as well as Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black Cardstock.

Hello friends. Here’s another quick and easy birthday card using the Lovely Layers: Cupcakes & More die set from Honeybee Stamps. For this one I created a shaker card using the ice cream dies.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base and another piece of Honey Bee Stamps Let’s Party 6 x 8.5″ Paper to 4 x 5-1/4″.

For the shaker window, I die-cut a [x”] circle from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Sizzix Framelits Circles Die Set. I cut out the window from the circle using the ice cream from Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Cupcakes & More die-set. For the background of the shaker window, I inked up a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Party Dress, Whipped Honey, and Stone Blue inks.

I die-cut the rest of the ice cream from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and colored it with the same inks. I used Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock and Lawn Fawn Paper Bag Letter Cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps Mini Messages: Birthday 4×5 Stamp Set
onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

I finished off the card by adding some starts die-cut from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Kraft Stock Paper.
