Stamptember “Remarkable You” Collaboration Set

Hi peeps! Happy Friday. I am so excited to share Honey Bee Stamps collaboration set for Simon Says Stamp’s Stamptember. It’s called “Remarkable You” and this sentiment set is so perfect for your cardmaking as you can use it for various occasion.

For my card, I combined the sentiment set with Gather Together set. A group of cute critters, sign me up for that!



For this card, I started with a panel of watercolor cardstock and brushed some green, orange, teal, purple and pink color on it. I was going for darker tone, but once I see the way the soft color turned out, I stopped and decided to go with lighter tone.

Once the cardstock dry, I simply stamped the image and highlighted the flower, leaves that three of the critters hold with Copic. Then simply stamped the sentiment. I love how the Remarkable set allow you to combine and create your own sentiment. Finished by adding some sequins from Pumpkin Patch mix.

Want to see more inspiration using this collaboration set? Head on to Honey Bee Stamps blog. And, please visit Simon Says Stamp to purchase the limited edition “Remarkable You” Stamptember set with coordinating dies.

Thank you so much for stopping by here and I hope you have a sweet Friday.

Honey Bee Stamps Fall Y'All Blog Hop

** For SugarPea Designs Blog Hop please scroll down. **



Hi peeps! The Honey Bee Stamps Fall Release has been happening all week and the fantastic fall products are now available in the shop

To celebrate the new release, we are having the Happy Fall Y'all Blog Hop. So grab your cup of Pumpkin Spice Latte, or whatever cozy drink you love and hop along with us to get you in the fall frame of mind!

For the hop, I played with the sweet & adorable Forest Friends set.




To make this card, I started by inking one of one of the stencil from Honey Bee Hexagon Layering Background Stencil. On purpose I didn't ink it evenly as I want to have the random look that kind of fade out. 




Once that done, I stamped, die-cut and color the critters. Before adhering it to the card base, I luckily remember to stamp the sentiment first. Hah... it had happened where I adhere the image first and then found out I didn't have enough space for the sentiment. 




I hope you enjoy the hop. Below is the complete list of the participants. Be sure to visit each blog & leave a comment, you don't want to miss out on any of the fun prizes!!! We will be giving away TWO $50 gift cards to the Honey Bee Stamps store.

Winners will be posted on our blog Monday, September 25th. 

Thank you so much for stopping by here & may your Friday be a blessed one.

I first work on the background. I start by doing some ink blending on a piece of cardstock panel and then die-cut it with the SugarCut - Arrow Cover Plate. Adhere it to the card base. Followed by stamping, die-cutting and coloring the tent, raccoon, turkey and pumpkin and arrange them on the card. Finished by stamping the sentiment. Easy peasy.

I am a big fan of The Ton large floral sets. They're all so beautiful & fun to work with. This carnation set is no exception. I love carnation!




As usual, with a set like this, I feel like not much else needed to let the flower shine and take center stage. Next up is the Magnificent Magnolias. Swoon... It's one of my favorite flower. Hah!! Iknow, I know, I say that a lot. What can I say I just love flowers and I have many favorite!

In my opinion, magnolia is one of those flower that's simple but beautiful in its simplicity.

The Ton September Mood Board Challenge


Hi peeps! Can you believe we are in September now? Yikes! Time sure flies like crazy. Well, new month means new challenge from The  Ton. And, this time, our mood board has cozy fall feeling to it.



I love fall weather, but I have to admit when it come to fall color... it's one color combo I often struggling with, cause they're not my favorite color combo. Hah... So, here's my attempt at a fall color card.


The Ton supplies: Summer Blooms, Macarons, Penned Sentiments, Rose Gold Embossing Powder, Yellow Belly Sequins

I stamped the Summer Blooms twice on the card panel and heat embossed it with The Ton Rose Gold embossing powder. Then colored the image with Copic, stamped the sentiment and finished by adding some sequins. Then, I simply adhere the panel to the card base.

I hope you will play along with us. Thank you for stopping by here and to enter your project for this challenge please go HERE.
