Honey Bee Happy BEEday Blog Hop Day 2



Hi peeps!! Welcome to Day 2 of TWO days of blog hops celebrating Honey Bee’s 4th Birthday and HUGE Birthday release!! Glad to have you joining the celebration. We have lots of new goodies, including pretty 6x6 paper pads. And, of course, we have a ton of inspiration as well as giveaways so make sure to check out the whole post and all the stops on the hop!

While today I'm only showcasing Spring Peony, Happy Birthday and Radiant Background Stencil, I'll be sharing more projects using the new release goodies over the next few weeks. Make sure you follow my Instagram account HERE as I share more projects there than here.




To start, I use variety of Glitz Glitter gel to create the ombre glitter look. These gels are so easy to use & spread beautifully. Once it dry, I trimmed the panel and adhere it to the card base. Next, I stamped, colored and die cut the flower. Adhere it to the card with foam adhesive.

I also added some white dots with white gel pen to add interest to the flower. Finish by stamping & adhering the sentiment strip (sentiment from Happy Birthday set). There's already lots of glitters on this card, so I keep the rest of the card simple.

Now, if you haven’t had a chance to check out all the new products you can find them all HERE <— click! at the Honey Bee shop!

GIVEAWAY
For day two of this blog hop Honey Bee is giving away a SPRING FLING PRIZE PACK!! This includes: Spring Peony stamp and dies, Spring Fling paper, Spring Fling enamel dots, and the Radiant Background Stencil.

All you need to do is leave comments on the blog hop posts and a random winner will be chosen to win all these goodies! In case you miss day 1 hop, you can start HERE. Well peeps, that's all from me today. Thank you for stopping by here and I hope you enjoy the hop. Have blessed Easter!
