Honey Doo Crafts - January 2020 Release - Selection Two

Hi there

As promised, I'm back with the rest of my samples using the new dies from Honey Doo Crafts as well as some existing products in the range.

And don't forget, Amanda from Honey Doo will be showcasing the new dies, along with some of their existing products on Create & Craft TV tomorrow, Friday 17 January 2020 at 9am and 1pm.

Ok, let's get to it, and first up are two cards using the new Tartan die...

I die cut a rectangular aperture in the front of the card base and also in some cardstock to be used as the upper panel.  I then cut the tartan die cut in half and adhered these back to back so there were no raw edges.  These were then sandwiched between the card and panel and the panel was adhered to the base using 3D foam.  I stamped and heat embossed the flower twice on yellow vellum, fussy cut these and adhered them together.  I added some decorative crystals to the centre.  The sentiment was stamped on a die cut tag and adhered under the flower, and a bow added to finish.

Materials used:

• Dies: Honey Doo Crafts - Tartan; Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles; MFT - Stitched Rectangles, Stitched Traditional Tags
• Stamps: Honey Doo Crafts - Chrysanthemum, New Job
• Ink: VersaMark; Versafine - Onyx Black
• Embossing Powder: Wow! - Opaque Bright White
• Accents: Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Jewels - Iced Crystals
• Vellum and ribbon from stash

Here I used the Tartan die again to partially cover the background...

I adhered some mid grey cardstock to the card base then used the tartan die on dark grey textured card.  I trimmed this on the diagonal and adhered it to the bottom corner.  I stamped and heat embossed the flowers and leaves on clear vellum and coloured on the reverse with Zig markers.  These were fussy cut and layered up and adhered in place.  The sentiment was also heat embossed on a die cut piece of vellum and adhered under the flower with a glue dot.

Materials used:

• Dies: Honey Doo Crafts - Tartan; Spellbinders Nestabilities - Reverse Wonky Rectangles
• Stamps: Honey Doo Crafts - Chrysanthemum, Retirement
• Ink: VersaMark
• Embossing Powder: Altenew - Pure White
• Vellum from stash coloured with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers

Next up I've used the new Encircle die...

I die cut a white panel with a stitched rectangle die and cut a circular aperture.  I die cut the Encircle die once from teal coloured cardstock and again from patterned paper.  I added some adhesive to the card base, trimmed down and adhered the positive part using the teal die cut.  I then inlaid the negative sections using the patterned paper die cuts.  I stamped the sentiment before adhering the upper panel on 3D foam.

Materials used:

• Dies: Honey Doo Crafts - Encircle; Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles; Hero Arts - Infinity Circle dies
• Patterned Paper: First Edition - Wildflowers; teal cardstock from stash
• Stamp: Honey Doo Crafts - New Job
• Ink: Versafine - Onyx Black

And finally, I've used one of the existing stencils, Mosaic, along with two stamp sets, Budding Flourishes and Repot Rose...

I blended a die cut panel lightly with Distress Inks before adding the stencil and then deepening the colours.  I stamped the floral image in black ink directly over the blended background.  To finish I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in gold onto a strip of vellum, wrapped this around the panel and adhered it to the base.

Materials used:

• Stencil: Honey Doo Crafts - Mosaic
• Ink: Distress Ink - Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Broken China; Versafine - Onyx Black; VersaMark
• Stamps: Honey Doo Crafts - Budding Flourishes, Repot Rose (sentiment)

Honey Doo Crafts - October 2019 Release - Selection Three

Hi there

I'm back with more makes using the latest release from Honey Doo Crafts, apologies that this post is so late in the day!  I'll be sharing the last of my samples on here tomorrow, ahead of the shows on Hochanda on Thursday.

I'll get straight to it.  First up I've used the new Stitch in Time and New Job stamp sets...

I stamped and heat embossed the flowers and leaves from the Stitch in Time set, used the emboss resist technique to colour blend them with Distress Inks then fussy cut them out.  I masked three edges of card base and ink blended with Distress Oxide, fading it out down the card.  Finally, the sentiment was stamped in black ink before layering up the images and adding white enamel dots.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Honey Doo Crafts - Stitch in Time, New Job
• Embossing Powder: Wow! - Opaque Bright White
• Ink: VersaMark; Distress Ink - Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, Squeezed Lemonade, Carved Pumpkin, Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Cracked Pistachio, Mowed Lawn; Distress Oxide - Tumbled Glass; Versafine - Onyx Black
• Accents: Doodlebug Sprinkles - Lily White

Dream Valley - Challenge #212 - Add a Sentiment

The Flower Challenge - Challenge #37 - CAS

The next card also used the new Stitch in Time and New Job sets, along with the previously released Mesh stencil...

On a panel of white cardstock I stamped the flowers then masked them before blending the background with Distress Inks through the Mesh stencil.  I left the flowers uncoloured, just adding some purple colour to the centres with a coloured pencil.  I die cut the panel with a scallop border die and adhered the panel flat to the top edge of the card.  The stamped sentiment and some enamel dots completed the design and I rounded the corners to echo the scallops of the border.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Honey Doo Crafts - Stitch in Time, New Job
• Stencil: Honey Doo Crafts - Mesh
• Ink: Versafine - Onyx Black; Distress Ink: Shaded Lilac, Dusty Concord
• Die: Clearly Besotted - Speckled Scallops Die Collection
• Accents: Coloured with Faber Castell Polychromos pencil; Doodlebug Sprinkles - Silver

My next sample uses the new Ribbons stencil, and new stamp sets Starry Eye and New Job...

I began by using the shifted stencilling technique with the Ribbons stencil, blending with two blue shades of ink.  I then die cut a section of it with a stitched circle die.  I then stamped and heat embossed the flowers onto some patterned paper and the leaves onto vellum before fussy cutting them out.  The stencilled die cut and the flowers were then layered up and adhered to the card base using glue dots before stamping the sentiment in grey ink.  I then added some Nuvo drops to the flower centres.

Materials used:

• Stencil: Honey Doo Crafts - Ribbons
• Ink: Distress Ink - Weathered Wood, Stormy Sky; VersaMark; Memento - London Fog
• Die: MFT Die-namics - Double Stitched Circles
• Stamps: Honey Doo Crafts - Starry Eye, New Job
• Patterned Paper: Lawn Fawn - Let's Polka Mon Amie
• Embossing Powder: Wow! - Opaque Bright White
• Vellum from stash
• Accents: Nuvo Crystal Drops - Antique Rose

And I've used the new Starry Eye and New Job sets on this card too...

These images are stamped, masked and heat embossed in white on coloured cardstock.  I've then added some shading with coloured pencils to the petals and leaves.  The sentiment has been stamped on a sentiment strip die and I've finished this simple card with some pale blue gems.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Honey Doo Crafts - Starry Eye, New Job
• Ink: VersaMark; Altenew - Caribbean Sky
• Enbossing Powder: Wow! - Opaque Bright White
• Coloured with Faber Castell Polychromos
• Die: MFT Die-namics - Stitched Sentiment Strips

I've be popping back on here tomorrow night to share the last of my samples, hope to see you then.
