Hello Honey Bee friends! Today I’m sharing my card that features new products from the Perfect Match release along with a couple of older (and my favorite) products! This could be used as a Valentine card, but also for other occasions to say “Love You”!
First I used the Jackpot stencil set. I stenciled each layer onto an A2 sized piece of Neenah cardstock. I used Detail Blender Brushes to add various shades of pink, green, yellow, teal, and apricot inks through the stencils. You can use any colors you want to match the theme of your card!
Did you know that there is a small little coordinating Jackpot Honey Cuts set? It has six dies that will cut out six of the stenciled images. I used the one of the dies to cut out three of the cards from the stenciled piece. There was still a good sized piece of the stenciled panel left and I trimmed that to 2″ tall.
I embossed more white cardstock with the Aces 3D Embossing Folder. After I glued it to an A2 card base, I glued the 2″ stenciled piece at the bottom of the card front. I added a narrow strip of coordinating pink cardstock just above the stenciled piece.
Next I die cut from white cardstock the Lovely Layers: Wood Crate and the flowers and leaves from the Lovely Layers: Sweetheart Roses. I used blending brushes and the same pink and green inks I previously used to color the flowers and leaves. The crate was colored with a couple shades of brown ink.
I glued the layers of the colored pieces together. For the Sweetheart Roses to go into the Wood Crate, I trimmed a portion from the bottom of the stems with my scissors. If you take care and trim it neatly, you can use those extra leaves to tuck into the top of the rose bush like I did.
I blended more pink ink onto a scrap piece of white cardstock. Then I die cut the top layer of the Love You sentiment from the new Great Greetings: Love Honey Cuts. I die cut those twice more from white cardstock and glued the layers together. Then I glue the sentiment to the white die cut shadow layers.
The sentiment from the So Lucky stamp set helps to tie the Sweetheart Roses with the Aces embossing folder and the Jackpot stenciled pieces. I stamped it with black ink, cut it out with the coordinating die, and popped it up on the card with a foam strip.
I added a few pink hearts that are from the Sweethearts Clay Hearts for a little something extra!
I love how so much of Honey Bee’s products can be used together, no matter how new or old! Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful, and crafty, day!
