Honeycomb Owl

I couldn't wait! Instead of receiving the Inky Antics order and putting it out on the shelf, I ripped open a packaged of Honeycomb Pop and started playing! What do You think? I used the 'Clever Owl' die from Poppy stamps and the 'Birch Tree' from Memory Box. This time I gave him fluffy little wings next time I want give him a fluffy body.

STUFF WE USED


New Honeycomb paper

I'm so excited! The Inky Antics honeycomb paper arrived today and I can't wait to play with it. Where's a rainy day when you need it!

Memory Box Puffy Clouds and Modern Landscape

We have received loads of the Memory Box dies!  There are so many to choose from to show, but for today we are featuring the Puffy Clouds and Modern Landscape Dies.  Here's the card we made with these 2 dies.

We started with a base card in Kraft and then cut out patterned paper that entirely covered the front of the card.  For this project, we used Memory Box's Spearmint paper.


We then used the Modern Landscape Die and cut it out using Kraft cardstock.


Then we used the Puffy Clouds die and cut it out using white cardstock.  To create the illusion of depth, we glued the 2 smaller clouds flush to the card and then popped up the larger cloud on top of one of the smaller ones.


To make the layers stand out, we edged all sides of the Kraft cardstock with Shabby Shutters Distressed Ink and we edge the clouds with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.


For more ideas on the many ways you can use these versatile dies, come and visit us at the store.  There's lots to choose from!

Stamp D-A-D on three different pattern papers.
Cut out the D-A-D on the printed paper.  Cut the right side of the DAD on the green , beige and brown paper making sure to leave it attached (this step may be omitted for younger crafters). Glue the patterned D-A-D over the matching green, beige and brown D-A-D.
Line the D-A-D up so the ends match.  Punch two holes, use eyelets to reinforce them if desired and thread the brown ribbon through and tie.
Now the base of your card is finished and you can add photos, coupons and Father’s Day greetings.  HAVE FUN!
