A TWEET Die Cut Design! Hello Friend Spring Bird Card: Crafty with Caly
Hi friends! Happy Wednesday! Please join me in welcoming special guest Caly Person in our bi-monthly Crafty with Caly blog series! Today, Caly is showcasing some new Honey Bee die cuts perfect to make a sweet Hello card to celebrate the Spring season and send to a special friend! Be sure to watch the video for all the details, and enjoy!
Hi there! It’s Caly with you today and I’m bringing fresh spring vibes with today’s die-cut card using Lovely Layers Spring Birds, Nest, and Spring Greenery from Honey Bee Stamps!
I’m a huge fan of piecing together die-cut elements and it’s so fun to be able to create a full screen with the Honey Bee Stamps coordinating products! Everything you see aside from the nest and lavender flowers are die-cut using white cardstock and then ink-blended with ink to color.
Check out the video to see how it’s done!

The Lovely Layers Nest is die-cut using Neenah Desert Storm Environmental cardstock and the lavender sprigs using Lavender cardstock. I tried to incorporate lots of colors to make this card colorful. All the colors will be linked below for your convenience!
For the background, I ink-blended Sage ink for a soft glow and die-cut a stitched border using the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles dies. After piecing all the elements, I began to build and layer the images to create my spring scene.
I finished by stamping a sentiment from the Best of Everything stamp set. I hope you like it!! Thanks so much for stopping by today! ~Caly

Making a Mini Book! Not a Card with Nina-Marie
Hey there friends, it’s Nina-Marie here with you! I have a mini book idea to share that could be used for many different occasions or themes—my book is mom-themed, but bear in mind you can swap out some of the sayings and words I used for things that would fit your theme. In this project I am also using the adorable Best of the Bunch set from Avery Elle!
I built my book from Tim Holtz’s Specimen file folder. Using some strips of cardstock, I adhered the file folders together to make “pages” in a book. The seam was covered with some ribbon to give it a softer, more finished look.
Inside, the pages are decorated with patterned papers, Tim Holtz ephemera, and images from the Best of the Bunch stamp set. How cute are those critters with their florals?!
Want to learn how I made this sweet book? Watch the video below for all the details!

May 2023 Card Kit Inspiration! Colorful Ink-Blended Birthday Card!
Hello, all! Kristina Werner here with a card made using the May 2023 Card Kit! I used the Best Year Yet stamp set, plus some circle stencils, to create a colorful birthday card.
The inspiration behind this card comes from the greeting I chose to use. I thought it would be fun to stamp the solid “It’s Your Day!” greeting and then overlap the shape with other colorful shapes.
I stamped and white heat embossed the birthday cake and balloons so that the images would resist the ink on top as well.
For the circle shapes, I used Simon’s Circle Masks stencils and the Mix and Match Circles stencil. Super easy!
To finished off the card, I added fun sequins from the Surprise Party sequin mix that’s included in the kit.
You can pick up the May 2023 Card Kit HERE, or subscribe to receive this kit and future kits HERE.
Thanks for stopping by!
