I have MANY hobbies, one of which I love watching videos of people decorating cookies. Some day, I will take a chance a try my hand but I have followed a beautiful decorate called SweetAmbs<\/strong><\/a> for years. And while browsing one night, I cam across one of her beautiful cookies and I was totally inspired! It was her Decorated Bee Cookies<\/a><\/strong>. So I had to make a card inspired by these regal and delicious looking treats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started by using SSS Cardstock in Soft Navy<\/a><\/strong>. I then had a stitched square die that I cut out two sizes to use as a layer. Once I had enough cut out, I went to work using the Tonic Nuvo Gilded Flakes.<\/a><\/strong> Have you ever worked with these? While they are BEAUTIFUL, they sure are a mess! I like to work in an old cardboard box to help contain the easily blown away gold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to adhere the flakes, I got out my Ranger Sticky Embossing Powder<\/a><\/strong>. This works just like a embossing powder in that you use versamark ink<\/a><\/strong> (or any clear sticky inky), sprinkle the sticky embossing powder onto it and heat it. It will remain sticky until you re heat it or let it dry over time. I laid the larger of the squares down and began pressing my ink pad onto them. Once I had them dusted with powder and heated, I laid them in a shallow box (I love using SSS card kit boxes, they are the perfect depth!). Then I got to work. very slowly and making sure not to heavy breath I pinched flakes out and pounced them into the sticky inked squares. I then used my finger to press the flakes all over until completely covered. It took me about 15 minutes to complete this part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then used some Square Foam<\/a><\/strong> to pop up the smaller blue square onto the gilded square. I then used SSS Small Hexagon Die<\/a><\/strong> and cut out a few using a light blue cardstock. After that, I began to assemble my card, trying to create that geometrical pattern of a honey comb. (I didn’t have hexagon dies handy other wise I would have used that shape over square). I then glued the die cuts on to add more dimension. Lastly, I used the SSS BEE Yourself <\/a><\/strong> stamp and used Princess Gold Ranger Embossing Powder<\/a><\/strong> on the Soft Navy<\/a><\/strong> cardstock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really love being inspired by things outside of cardmaking! It makes it so fun! How about you, where do you find inspiration?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
