Good morning
It's time for another get together with the Honeys, and we've all been creating with another great kit of crafty bits and bobs. Grab a coffee if you like, there's lots of pics below!
For those of you that don't know what this is all about, one of the gang put together a surprise kit which then gets posted to the rest of us. We then get creative with the same goodies and share our makes here on our blogs.
The latest fab kit was compiled by the lovely
Sarah P of Sazzle Dazzle Crafts and mailed out to the rest of the Honeys...
Anita Bowden - Neet & Crafty (that's me!)
Here's what was included in Sarah's 'Sugar Fix' kit...
Stamps:
Reverse Confetti: Donut You Know (plus donut die)
Neat & Tangled: Say Yes to Donuts
Avery Elle: Pick N Mix (plus dies)
Mama Elephant: Carnival Cupcakes (plus dies)
Other Dies:
L’il Inker: Smile
Mama Elephant: Columbus Circle
Neat & Tangled: Hooray word dies
Other Items:
Hobbycraft Basics: patterned paper
Action Wobbler
Doodlebug: bakers twine
Anita’s: half cut pearls
So, here goes with my makes this time..
Card 1:
I used the Mama Elephant Columbus Circle panel backed with some of the polka dot paper and adhered these flat to my card base. I then used the Mama Elephant die cut cupcake and teddy bear, coloured with ProMarkers and some clear Wink of Stella and popped the teddy bear up on the action wobbler. I then die cut the Reverse Confetti sentiment using an MFT stitched rectangle and coloured with the same pink ProMarkers and adhered to the base on 3D foam.

Card 2:
I used the Reverse Confetti die cuts and sentiment for this one. I coloured the doughnut and icing with ProMarkers and adhered these together. Then, using Glossy Accents I adhered lots of the half cut pearls to the icing die cut and then smothered over the top with more Glossy Accents and left overnight to dry. On a panel of white cardstock I stamped the sprinkles from my own Clearly Besotted 'With Sprinkles' stamp set in grey ink. The sentiment was die cut with an MFT pierced square die, adhered to the stamped panel and I then suspended the doughnut from the top of the panel using some twine from the kit. Here's a close up of the gloss and 'sprinkles' on the doughnut.
Card 3:
This was the simplest of all to make. I adhered some of chevron patterned paper to the card base, leaving a slim border. I then used a pink ProMarker, close to the colour of the paper, and coloured over the Neat & Tangled Hooray die cut, which was then adhered over the co-ordinating shadow die cut. I then used a sentiment from my own Altenew 'Celebrate' stamp set which I heat embossed in white on a strip of black cardstock. The hooray and sentiment were both popped up on 3D foam.

Card 4:
Using an MFT pierced square die I cut the boy image and some of the polka dot paper and layered these up on a card base. The image was once again coloured with ProMarkers and topped with some clear Wink of Stella. I then took my Clearly Besotted 'With Sprinkles' set and stamped the sentiment at the base and within the speech bubble, using a die from Clearly Besotted 'You Said It' die set.
Card 5:
On a panel of white cardstock I used some Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Moonstone and spread this through a Hero Arts 'Sprinkles' stencil. I then coloured the Avery Elle sweet images from the kit and fussy cut these out before adhering around a sentiment from the kit which I die cut with a die from MFT Stitched Sentiment Strips. The panel was adhered to the base on fun foam and the sweets and sentiment with glue dots.
