Honey Bee | Floral Hello Card + Giveaway (Now Closed)

Honey Bee | Floral Hello Card

Hello, friends! I have the pleasure of being a guest designer on Honey Bee blog today sharing a very simple Floral Hello card. If you’ve been following me you know that lately I’ve been enjoying making smaller size cards so here I created a 4 Bar card (card base measures 3 ½” x 4 ⅞”).

I started working on this card by heat embossing several floral images from the Hello Gorgeous stamp set in gold embossing powder onto white cardstock. I used my Copic markers and did some quick coloring (I used RV14, RV13 and RV11 to color pinks, YG17 and YG03 to color green and Y19, Y15 and Y11 to color yellow).

I die-cut images out in my Platinum 6 die cutting machine using coordinating dies. After arranging the die cut florals into a cluster I realized I needed to add some additional stamping so I stamped a few more images in gray ink directly onto my card base. I love to use gray on white as it adds a nice subtle detail without being overpowering. Using foam adhesive I foam mounted floral overlapping the background stamping.

For my sentiment I went with a simple Hello. I first stamped “Hello” directly onto the card base using gray ink and later adhered a die-cut hello on top. Latter was foam mounted and offset slightly for a pop of dimension. Lastly, I added little accents using black liquid enamel dots.

  2. Beautiful card as always! I have never used Honey Bee products but I love what I see!

  3. I have not used Honey Bee stamps…yet, but was introduced to them by crafting guru Jennifer McGuire. I do, however, have a loooong wish list of stamps I will be looking forward to getting very soon!

  4. I have never use Honey Bee products before, but found there website when Jennifer Mcguire listed it for website with sells going on for Memorial Day!! I love the inside outside stitched A7 rectangle dies!!! Beautiful card by the way!!! Thanks for sharing

  5. What a pretty card I really like it the truth is I don’t believe I have any stamps from honeybee nor do I think I’ve ever use them they look really nice I’d sure be happy to start!

  6. Beautiful card! Love how you incorporated the embossing. I had never heard of HoneyBee stamps until this post. I checked them out and already have a wish list! I especially like the Welcome Baby and Sweet as Honey sets.

  7. You always have the prettiest cards! This is no exception. I have not yet used Honeybee stamps — but I just ordered one of their 4 piece hexagonal die sets. I haven’t tried it yet, but hope to get around to it very soon!

  8. Yes I have used Honey Bee stamps and just ordered some this weekend! Funny you should ask. They have a lot of nice items. Wish I could have ordered more.

  9. This is such a pretty card Yana. It IS a ‘gorgeous’ stamp set! (Well named!)
    I have 2 sets of Honey Bee stamps and I would love to have more. They are made of great quality!

  10. I received a Honey Bee stamp as a gift from another cancer patient like myself. SHE is so giving n the midst of her own battle and deserves to win this. Together we make cards for other cancer patients @ our Infusion center. THANKS so much!

  11. Hana, I love your designs. They always have just the right something that makes them perfection! Love those honeybee stamps!

  12. I really need to try this card size. Your card is beautiful. I love the stamped floral and then the die cut colored floral. the sentiment in grey then die cut (I like leaving the inside pieces in the sentiment) and off set give a great shadow look. Great stunning beautiful card. I love it.

  13. Hi, Yana! I really hadn’t heard of Honey Bee stamps…thanks for the introduction! I will have to keep my eye on them. They have some lovely products of which you have worked wonders with!!

  14. Love the embossing
    on this card. Very pretty
    design. I have not used
    Honeybee stamps before.

  16. Yana, this is a lovely card. I like the gray inked flowered background to frame the embossed, colored set. Thanks for sharing this design.

  17. The grey background image really makes the colored one come to life. I really liked your card. A HoneyBee gift card would be awesome. I hope I win!

  18. I have Honey Bee Stamps “Cool Cat” stamp set. I’ve used the car image for birthday cards for my nephews. Pretty card, Yana. Thanks for the giveaway.
