Honey Doo Crafts - October 2019 Release - Selection Two

Hi there

I'm back today with more of my samples using the latest product release from Honey Doo Crafts.

Amanda from Honey Doo also did a Facebook Live video last night which you can find, here, sharing all the new products and lots of samples.

In this post I've decided to share all my Christmas themed makes, made sense to keep these all together.  So, here goes.

This first card uses the new Gingham stencil, and the previously released Holly and Christmas Globe sets...

This card just evolved, I didn't really know where I was going with it when I started.  On a panel of white cardstock I squished VersaMark ink through the stencil and then heat embossed in silver.  I then masked off the rows and ink blended with Distress Inks.  I was going to just use it as a background panel but then had a brainwave that it looked like wrapping paper, so I trimmed it down and made it into a present!  I added the ribbon and popped it onto the card base on fun foam.  I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the holly, adding some Glossy Accents to the berries.  I then manipulated the curved sentiment from the Christmas Globe set and stamped the words separately on a die cut tag.  The holy and tag were then nestled under the bow.

Materials used:

• Stencil: Honey Doo Crafts - Gingham
• Stamps: Honey Doo Crafts - Holly, Christmas Globe
• Ink: VersaMark; Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac
• Embossing Powder: Wow! - Metallic Silver
• Die: MFT Die-namics - Stitched Traditional Tag Stax
• Coloured with ProMarkers
• Accents: Glossy Accents, ribbon from stash

Next up is another of the new stencils, Stars, and a sentiment from the new Oh Christmas Tree set...

I used some new to my stash paste and glitter with this stencil and the sparkle is amazing in real life!  I spread the paste through the stencil onto black cardstock, sprinkled on the glitter and left it to properly dry before trimming the panel down.  I mounted the panel onto some holographic cardstock, just to have a little peeping through around the edges.  I heat embossed the sentiment in silver glitter onto a vellum strip and wrapped this around the panel before adhering to the card base.

I've purposely blurred the photo below, I think the bokeh effect really captures the colours and sparkle from the glitter...

Materials used:

• Stencil: Honey Doo Crafts - Stars
• Stamp: Honey Doo Crafts - Oh Christmas Tree
• Embossing Paste: Sweet Poppy - Stencil Dimensions Translucent
• Glitter: Sweet Poppy - Crystalina Rainbow

Next up I've used the Stars stencil again, and a sentiment from the previously released Christmas Quotes set...

This one layer card was so simple to make.  I masked off the edges of the card base and in blended from the edges inwards, fading out in the centre.  I then inked through the stencil with the same shade of ink, again, fading out in the centre.  I added a sweep of anti-static powder before then stamping and heat embossing the sentiment in silver.

Materials used:

• Stencil: Honey Doo Crafts - Stars
• Stamp: Honey Doo Crafts - Christmas Quotes
• Ink: Distress Ink - Chipped Sapphire; VersaMark
• Embossing Powder: Wow! - Metallic Silver

Next is the new Oh Christmas Tree set... 

On a panel of black cardstock I stamped and heat embossed the tree in a sparkly powder.  The glitter particles in this embossing powder are quite chunky so I heated on the underside first to stop the glitter blowing away before the powder melted.  I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some vellum, wrapped this around and adhered to the base on fun foam.

Again, I've blurred the photo below to try to capture the sparkle.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Honey Doo Crafts - Oh Christmas Tree
• Ink: VersaMark
• Embossing Powder: Wow! - Midas Touch, Opaque Bright White
• Vellum and cardstock from stash

Here is the Oh Christmas Tree set again, paired with a sentiment from the previously released Christmas Globe set...

Pretty much the same layout as the last card but this time I heat embossed with a pearl powder on deep red cardstock.  I heat embossed the sentiment onto the same cardstock and used a curved stitched die to create the sentiment strip which was popped up on 3D foam.  I then embellished the tree with some rhinestones.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Honey Doo Crafts - Oh Christmas Tree, Christmas Globe
• Ink: VersaMark
• Embossing Powder: Wow! - White Pearl
• Dies: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles; MFT Die-namics - Stitched Basic Edges
• Accents: Mini rhinestones from stash

The next new set is Snowflake Flourish, paired here with a sentiment from the previously released Jingle Bells set...

I used one of my go too favourite designs for this card.  I added a strip of masking tape in the upper half of the card and blended away from the tape with lilac ink.  I then stamped the flourish and snowflakes in three shades of ink and added some splatters using a mix of silver mica powder and water.  The masking tape was removed and the sentiment stamped in black.  Easy peasy!

Materials used:

• Stamps: Honey Doo Crafts - Snowflake Flourish, Jingle Bells
• Ink: Distress Ink - Shaded Lilac; Versa Color - Neptune, Mint, Lavender; Versafine - Onyx Black
• Accents: Honey Doo Crafts Mica Powder - Silver Sparkle

Inkspirational - Challenge #198 - Mask

And finally, I've used Snowflake Flourish again, together with the new Christmas Magic sentiment stamp...

I began with a die cut rectangle of pale lilac cardstock and stamped the snowflake flourish and sentiment in VersaMark ink.  I then used two shades of embossing powder, adding in sections before heating.  The panel was mounted on fun foam onto a larger die cut rectangle.  I added some mini rhinestones to the centres of the snowflakes for a bit of bling.  It was difficult to catch the two different shades of embossing on camera, you can just about make out the silver and platinum in the photo below.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Honey Doo Crafts - Snowflake Flourish, Christmas Magic
• Ink: VersaMark
• Embossing Powder: Wow! - Metallic Silver, Metallic Platinum
• Dies: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles

If you made it to the end of the post, thanks so much for getting here, that was a bit photo heavy!
