As promised, I'm back with the rest of my samples using the new dies from Honey Doo Crafts as well as some existing products in the range.
And don't forget, Amanda from Honey Doo will be showcasing the new dies, along with some of their existing products on Create & Craft TV tomorrow, Friday 17 January 2020 at 9am and 1pm.
Ok, let's get to it, and first up are two cards using the new Tartan die...
I die cut a rectangular aperture in the front of the card base and also in some cardstock to be used as the upper panel. I then cut the tartan die cut in half and adhered these back to back so there were no raw edges. These were then sandwiched between the card and panel and the panel was adhered to the base using 3D foam. I stamped and heat embossed the flower twice on yellow vellum, fussy cut these and adhered them together. I added some decorative crystals to the centre. The sentiment was stamped on a die cut tag and adhered under the flower, and a bow added to finish.
Materials used:
- Dies: Honey Doo Crafts - Tartan; Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles; MFT - Stitched Rectangles, Stitched Traditional Tags
- Stamps: Honey Doo Crafts - Chrysanthemum, New Job
- Ink: VersaMark; Versafine - Onyx Black
- Embossing Powder: Wow! - Opaque Bright White
- Accents: Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Jewels - Iced Crystals

Here I used the Tartan die again to partially cover the background...
I adhered some mid grey cardstock to the card base then used the tartan die on dark grey textured card. I trimmed this on the diagonal and adhered it to the bottom corner. I stamped and heat embossed the flowers and leaves on clear vellum and coloured on the reverse with Zig markers. These were fussy cut and layered up and adhered in place. The sentiment was also heat embossed on a die cut piece of vellum and adhered under the flower with a glue dot.
Materials used:
- Dies: Honey Doo Crafts - Tartan; Spellbinders Nestabilities - Reverse Wonky Rectangles
- Stamps: Honey Doo Crafts - Chrysanthemum, Retirement
- Ink: VersaMark
- Embossing Powder: Altenew - Pure White
- Vellum from stash coloured with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers

Next up I've used the new Encircle die...
I die cut a white panel with a stitched rectangle die and cut a circular aperture. I die cut the Encircle die once from teal coloured cardstock and again from patterned paper. I added some adhesive to the card base, trimmed down and adhered the positive part using the teal die cut. I then inlaid the negative sections using the patterned paper die cuts. I stamped the sentiment before adhering the upper panel on 3D foam.
Materials used:
- Dies: Honey Doo Crafts - Encircle; Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles; Hero Arts - Infinity Circle dies
- Patterned Paper: First Edition - Wildflowers; teal cardstock from stash
- Stamp: Honey Doo Crafts - New Job
- Ink: Versafine - Onyx Black
I blended a die cut panel lightly with Distress Inks before adding the stencil and then deepening the colours. I stamped the floral image in black ink directly over the blended background. To finish I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in gold onto a strip of vellum, wrapped this around the panel and adhered it to the base.
Materials used:
- Stencil: Honey Doo Crafts - Mosaic
- Ink: Distress Ink - Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Broken China; Versafine - Onyx Black; VersaMark
- Stamps: Honey Doo Crafts - Budding Flourishes, Repot Rose (sentiment)
- Embossing Powder: Wow! - Metallic Gold Rich
