Hive Five Hop with Lawn Fawn Fans

Hello my stamping friends. Today is a fun day because a few designers from the Lawn Fawn Fans team have come together for a mini YouTube hop sharing idea with the recently released Hive Five Kit. Lawn Fawn released this kit at the end of June and it was available while supplies last. It has since sold out. So that means many a stamper was able to get this fun kit. So, the team at Lawn Fawn Fans wanted to give you some fun ideas using this kit. 

Here's a look at the kit contents. 

These are exclusive products to the kit and can not, at this time, be purchased separately. 

Take a look at the card I made using this kit in the video below. I had so much fun making this card and can not wait to GIVE it away to one of you!  Watch the video for all the details.  If you can not see the video up on your screen you can watch it on my YouTube channel. 

To win the card I made in this video be sure to click over to YouTube and leave a comment on the video!

 Now let's take a close up look at this card. 

I used the stencil in the kit to make my rainbow honeycomb background. I just LOVE how that turned out. 

All the stamped images on this card are from the HIVE FIVE stamp set. These bees are so super cute! 

And because I am so PUNNY, I used my Oliver's Stitched ABC's to make a custom sentiment. 

I added a sub sentiment, embossing it in white on the grassy border. 

And because my card has "heart" in the sentiment I added some Jelly Hearts from Trinity Stamps all over the card in every rainbow color. I'll have those linked for you below so you can check them out. 

I did not forget about the inside of the card, I love that slimline cards leave you enough room for something cute and a personalized greeting as well. 

Now that you have seen my creation, here are the other three stops on the hop for you to check out too.

Heffy Doodle and Trinity Stamps Collaboration Hop

Hello there!  I am thrilled today to be participating in the Heffy Doodle and Trinity Stamps HOP!  I am on the design team for both companies and just love their products! So making something that mashes up products from both makes me giddy!!!

Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies, and that means a lot of cute inspiration for you! 

For this card I used the Udderly Fabulous stamp set from Heffy Doodle and the Island Cocktail set from Trinity Stamps. I also broke out a bunch of dies from both companies to make this strawberry milk themed shaker card. 

My youngest daughter is very much into the strawberry cow trend, and anything strawberry for that matter. Here is a picture of her strawberry cow with my card. 

So that is where the inspiration for this card came from. You can see this card come together in the video below. If you can not see the video on your screen you can watch it on my YouTube channel. 

 

This card is a shaker. The shaker bits are clay strawberries from Trinity Stamps. The shaker bit are actually hidden behind the grass until you shake up the card. I chose my color palette for this card from all things strawberry cow. Google that and see all the cuteness that pops up! 

To frame my shaker card I used a slimline envelope die set from TS, which is currently on sale in there shop and is linked for you below. I love a scallop frame and so it is one of my favorite dies from Trinity. Other dies I used from TS are the grassy hill, its from the Slimline Scenic Borders die set. 

The puffy clouds are a nice little die set from Heffy Doodle that have four different sized clouds with stitched edges. I also used the Leafy Laurel die for my white flowers. The yellow centers are from the Summer Holiday Enamel Dots also from HD.  You can see how nicely the products from both of the companies go together. I love a good mash up!

July Club Kit Hop with Spellbinders

Hey there my stamping friends. Today I am featuring four of the July 2022 club kits by Spellbinders in a HOP!  

There are several designers participating in this hop to bring you a lot of inspiration using the July Club Kits that Spellbinders has to offer. All stops on the hop are listed below. Be sure to visit and comment on the Spellbinders blog post for this hop to be entered to win a $25 shopping spree to the shop! 

The Club kit I am focusing on today is the Have A Chill Summer Clear Stamp Monthly Kit. It has a solid popsicle image in the set. And I am going to show you 3 fun ways you can ink up this popsicle. I am also incorporating 3 other money club kits for July; the Embossing Folder, Large Die of the Month and the Glimmer Kit.

Here is a look at the three cards I am going to show you how to create today. Below you can see how I inked up each popsicle and how I put these cards together in this video. If you can not see the video on your screen, you can also view it on my YouTube channel.

Now let's take a close up look at each of these cards. 

I just love the little strawberry in this set! And I love strawberry popsicles too! I made these popsicles ombre by inking them up with three different ink pads. 

They got a bit of sparkly splatter after that. 

I think LIME popsicles are my FAVE, so I had to make a card featuring them. I did the KISSING technique for these yummy popsicles. You ink the solid popsicle with a light color of ink and then ink the lime stamp with a darker color of ink and stamp it right on to the popsicle stamp. Then you can stamp this down on to your paper. What a fun technique! 

The background on this card was made using the Embossing Folder for July, Geometric Stripes, it's a very versatile pattern and I love it with this card.

Make sure to watch the video to see how I got the shine on my popsicles. 

Last but not least I had to make a popsicle food truck. I just love the July Large die of the Month, what a fun idea to make different food trucks! And this popsicle works great on top! 

This grape popsicle got its cool color with the help of sprays! I love the flecks of grape goodness it adds! And in the background of this card I used the Glimmer Kit of the Month to add those amazing stripes. 

I hope you enjoyed these cards and a few fun ideas for inking up your solid stamps! Be sure to watch the video to see all the techniques in action. 

And now it is time to hop along with us and see more inspiration with the July Club Kits. 

Next up in the HOP is Iliana Crouse, who's creations are always FABULOUS!
