I used the new You Did It wafer dies, and ink blended the same colors onto the words before stacking them for dimension and die cutting the outline from vellum.
On the inside of the card I used the CZ Design Yay You stamp set and stamped it with those same inks and that was it!

Hey friends! Honey Bee Stamps had a FABULOUS release recently (I haven't had a chance to film any Release & Review videos lately as there's been a TON of construction noise and chaos around here. BUT if y'all still want me to film and share them let me know in the comments!) and I was allllll over the new Lovely Layers: Peony wafer die set:
It looks a little overwhelming and blah when looking at JUST the die set eh? But HB has this awesome layering graphic:
You can right click on this and print it out or save it as a reference if needed - I of course show in the video how to layer all the pieces and trust me it comes together SO easily! Like all the previous Lovely Layers wafer die sets it's pretty much largest to smallest and then you're done.
Just like all the other Lovely Layers sets the sky is the limit when deciding how you want to "color" them. Solid color card stock, watercolor paper and watercolors, ink blending, sprays, etc etc. I've shown many different variations in previous posts which you can check out at the links below if you missed them:
I LOVE peonies - in real life and in paper version. I planted some peony bulbs a couple of years ago and got my first bloom last year and it was SO pretty:
How can one NOT love peonies eh? I so hope I get a bunch more blooms this year!
OK back to the card info:
I used Memory Box's Vibrant Violet and Lush Green paper packs for the Lovely Layers: Peony blooms and leaves. The MB cardcardstock packs are heavyweight but FYI the color is PRINTED onto the paper so they do have a white core. Which I am fine with but I wanted to point that out as printed paper behaves differently than solid core when it comes to inking, stamping, etc (which usually isn't a big deal most of the time but if you notice a difference that will most likely be why). I like having all the variety of colors (there's several different packs - you can find them all here).

Hey friends! I'm back with another card and video! This was supposed to go up last week for the Color Throwdown Challenge but we're in the middle of reno's and chaos and all the things lol. So it's here now:
The background was ink blended with Simon's Soft Navy ink, then I used the Secret Garden A2 Coverplate to die cut some white card stock that I then adhered to the card front. And then added splatter as is tradition ;).

Hey friends! It's been quiet this week - I've been in the middle of chaos - literally. Our main floor and my old office was ripped apart (our dishwasher leaked in the fall - during STAMPtember no less lol fml) this week. So we have no floors, no furniture, nowhere to sit when eating etc etc. With 5 kids and 2 pets it's just a tad crazy LOL! We're getting by as we deal though. AND - I filmed a haul video!!!
I have been slowly getting gear and figuring things out as I do plan to start doing live videos on YouTube (no date yet for any of it - I'll let y'all know) and I recently got a new mic that I need to figure out. SO I filmed a haul video as it gives me the chance to fiddle. It also give me a chance to share sale info!!
Shop at Simon Says Stamp <------click! and save $20 off orders of $100 or more with the code LVUMOM
OK on to my haul. This was actually SEVERAL orders spanned out over the past several weeks/couple of months etc, plus some new goodies from Studio Katia that I wanted to spotlight too:

Hello hello my friends!! As always this weekend before I get to the post I wanted to share the awesome SALE info for those that may have missed it:
Hokay - today's post uses another one of my all-time favorite stamp sets: Simon Says Stamp's Wildflowers. If you weren't aware I've done MANY videos using this set - you can check out my playlist of all those videos HERE on my YouTube channel <------click!
After my last couple of recent posts doing my "faux watercolor" technique - those posts here:
On the inside of the card I stamped the Wildflowers image with lighter shades of the Pawsitively Saturated Inks and then stamped a sentiment from the XL Greetings 3 stamp set and that was it!
