I lost track of the amount of requests I've had to show the Honey Bee Stamps Coffee Cup Card dies - and now that I have the extended cutting plates for my Big Shot (fate is REALLY starting to tell me I need to invest in a larger die cutting machine LOL - still haven't decided which one to get though!) - I used them!
The 2 cards on either end here I made off camera. I was just playing around die cutting card stock and decided to stamp these ones with some of my dye inks and turned them into cards.
All of the floral images are from the Honey Bee Stamps Zen Bouquet stamp set. I'd actually never used some of the smaller images from the set - so that's what I did with the cards on either end.
The 2 in the middle are what my video is on today:
I die cut the Coffee Cup Card bases from Canson XL watercolor paper, then white heat embossed the large image from the Zen Bouquet set onto them. After melting the embossing powder I used several different Distress Inks and applied them directly to the paper, sprayed it liberally with water and let it dry. The end result is what you see here!
The coffee cup cards measure roughly 3.5" wide at the widest point by 5.5" high. So they'll fit in a standard A2 size envelope - AND a gift card fits in them nicely. I used sentiments from the Perfect Blend stamp set on the "wraps" and on the insides of the cards and then stuck the gift cards into place with a mini glue dot and that was it!
