5 Cards, 1 Kit with Bees and Hummingbirds

By on April 25, 2023 in Paper Crafting

Hello, today I have special video with 5 cards & 1 kit. This kit is filled with Bees and Hummingbirds (some of my favorites!)

Watch the video below, which includes a preview of all the contents of the kit, and 5 cards (plus a bonus card)! I also share how I do some Copic Coloring and curly hair coloring.

Bee Cards

There are many ways to create the cutest bee cards with this kit. The paper is fantastic! The ephemera is awesome! And the stamp sets are just so good!

This card uses the stencil included in the kit, along with ephemera and paper from the Bees paper pack. I only added a few pearls in lime green and yellow to finish off this card.

For this card I used LOTS of paper from the paper pack. Aren’t these papers just fantastic!? I love all the designs and the colors. I stamped that sentiment and added lots of ephemera for the images. I did alter the flower ephemera to make it work for my card (don’t be afraid to to that to make it work for YOU).

More fantastic patterned paper on this one! I used the leftover black cardstock strips (from the previous card) to mimic the bee stripes. Then I added a gold metallic “HI” using a favorite alphabet die set from my stash.

For this one, I used only stamps and colored them in with Copic markers. Here I used Black and Purple Copic markers for the hair, and I show you just how to do that in the video.

Hummingbird Cards

I used both stamps and ephemera images for this card. That watercolor paper is from the Hummingbird paper pack included in this kit.

As a bonus card, I made this box card! I used a “no-line” coloring technique on the images from the stamp set. Then I used some acetate to raise those hummingbirds up above the flowers.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Mermaid Kit for Summer
By  on June 1, 2021  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I am sharing a brand new Mermaid Kit just in time for summer! This is the first time I have ever tried out one of these kits from Not 2 Shabby Shop, and I have to say that I’m so happy with it. I have a reveal video of everything in the kit and FIVE cards to share today!





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













I sat down with this kit and made FIVE cards right away. I had way too much fun and just couldn’t stop! This first card is using the ephemera in the kit (no coloring involved!) and some of the patterned paper from the kit. There are both slimline papers and 6×6 papers. I also added a bunch of the sequins that are included, for a very easy card!






		
		
			
			
		
	





This second card, I stamped the image this time and colored it with my copics. I love that you have the option for stamping or using ephemera! This patterned paper was some of my favorite.






		
		
			
			
		
	





The Narwhal in the stamp set is so cute, and it made me smile every time! I just had to use that on this card. I created some backgrounds with some new ink colors from Catherine Pooler and they have such fun movement to them.






		
		
			
			
		
	





Probably my favorite sentiment is this one: “Magic is all around, you just have to believe.” It’s a really fun design, and I used this sentiment stamp along with the beta fish for some magic on this card. Can you see the glitter I added to his tail?






		
		
			
			
		
	





The seahorses were also a favorite and how great is it that they have the mirror image so you can face them towards each other?! I love that. I made just a simple card with these guys, and added a “Hugs and Fishes” sentiment strip to finish it off.

I hope you enjoyed this look at the Mermaid Kit! I hear these kits sell out fast, so if you are interested, go take a look right away. I still have so many ideas and cards to make with this kit…and I think this could keep me busy all summer. Lol. Happy summer!
