Mother's Day Peony

 

FS999 - This week's Featured Stamper is called Blast From the Past. We have a selection of artist. I was inspired by FS101 Jaydekay - INSPIRATION.

For my card, I drew inspiration from the large flowers in the challenge and reached for this Honey Bee Stamps peony die. I cut all the layers from white cardstock and blended pinks and yellows onto the petals, with greens and soft yellows on the leaves.

The designer paper was a Christmas gift from my mother‑in‑law, and it felt perfect for creating a Mother’s Day card just for her. I paired it with a grey cardstock layer and a clean white card base, then arranged the peonies across the panel. A scattering of pink gems adds a bit of sparkle, and the Mother’s Day sentiment is popped up on dimensionals to finish the design with a little lift.

Love Birds

 

WT1097 - Birds (Swallows return to SJC)

For today’s card, I pulled out this wonderful die set from Honey Bee Stamps and cut each layer from white cardstock. I sponged on the colors and pieced the birds together, letting the shading bring out their detail.

The birds are layered on white cardstock and framed with a pink panel for a soft, coordinated look.

I then placed the finished birds on this gorgeous, patterned paper my son gave me for Christmas, layering everything on pink and white cardstock to tie the colors together.

The card is finished with a Valentine sentiment popped up on dimensionals and several heart candy dots for a sweet final touch.

Pink Roses

 

IC1053 - Proflowers - INSPIRATION

For my card today, I drew inspiration from the gorgeous pink roses. I reached for this lovely Honey Bee Stamps set and die cut the flowers and leaves from white cardstock. Using daubers, I softly sponged pink onto the petals and green onto the leaves, then arranged the blooms in a grey pot.

The finished arrangement is set over a grey rose‑patterned designer paper, then layered on white and finally a grey card base for a clean, coordinated look. A birthday sentiment popped up on dimensionals adds a bit of lift, and a scattering of candy dots provides the final touch of interest.

Water Lily

FS990 - this week's amazing, featured stamper is Barbarayaya (aka Barbara) - I found this INSPIRATION.

For my card, I drew inspiration from the beautiful blue blended background and chose a blue water‑themed designer paper as my starting point. I die cut the layered water lilies from Honey Bee Stamps, adding touches of pink to a few petals for extra depth.

After assembling the blooms, I arranged them over the water paper and accented the scene with green candy dots to echo the lily pads. The card is finished with a Happy Mother’s Day sentiment popped up on dimensionals for a clean, elevated look.

Friendship is the Greatest

 

CAS875 - card for a friend

For today’s card, I reached for a sweet freebie from Honey Bee Stamps that came with my last order. The image was already stamped, making it quick and easy to dive straight into coloring.  

I used my Copics to add rich shading and pops of color, letting the design come alive on the page. Once finished, I trimmed it down and attached it to a crisp white card base, keeping the overall look clean and simple so the artwork could shine.

For this birthday card, I used the Honey Bee Stamps Coneflowers die to create two layered flowers, adding extra sponging to each petal for depth and warmth.

They are arranged on a soft plaid background, framing the dimensional “80” die cut, which was stacked multiple times for added impact.

To finish the design, I scattered a few stars to echo the pink tones in the plaid and added a birthday banner popped up on dimensionals.
