Hello everyone! Happy Saturday!! I had so much going on last week - I set up a Patreon page (people have been asking for over a year now about that. I'd actually started setting one up a year ago and finally decided to make it public. I'll address this in a more detail, dedicated post later on!) for one. I also posted SALE info on my social media pages (click HERE for the SALE!) and was in a big blog hop for Simon Says Stamp's Sending Sunshine release!
I'd posted this video on the Honey Bee blog and channel earlier in the week. When I went to edit it and upload it to mine the voiceover was lost so it had to be re-done (and I hate repeating myself LOL). I had to get a new MacBook (for those that remember my previous one crashed back in February - we tried everything and Chris (who is a computer expert) enlisted help and even someone who used to work for Apple helped to try and fix it - it was completely fried. Needless to say I DID pony up for the extended warranty on this new one. If I manage to fry it too at least Apple will replace this - lesson learned the VERY hard way) recently - even then I still have issues sometimes with editing and whatnot!
ANYWHO - I re-recorded the voiceover and got it all uploaded to my channel so I can share it all here with you guys!
I used Honey Bee Stamps new Shine On stamp set for these cards. It's such a fun stamp set - and there is a really great Nail Polish Bottle shaped card die set that a lot of you have been asking me about. It sold out IMMEDIATELY after the release - so I'll create with it and post a video once it's back in stock!
For this first set of cards, I heat embossed the polish bottle image on black cards stock, some using white embossing powder and some using clear embossing powder.
I used my Prima Metallic Accents and Prima Metallic Pastel Accents water-colour palettes to paint up all the bottles. I then coated all the bottles with Crystal Glaze and let them dry before adhering them to my card bases.
I used Honey Bee's Friends Like You stamp set for the sentiments on the inside.
For my second set of cards I heat embossed the bottles onto both black and grey card stocks with the same embossing powders.
I used the Prima metallic water-colours on these as well, and added splatter with one of them after everything had dried. I die cut all the panels with Honey Bee's A2 Double Stitched Frames and heat embossed sentiments from the Shine On and Friends Like You stamp sets.
I added a TON of Tonic Nuvo drops to all of the cards in several different colors as well - I'm so obsessed with them to embellish my cards!
I kept the insides of these cards simple and just stamped the polish bottles in various dye inks and that was it!

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube. If the products have little icons below the image it means there's more than one place it can be purchased. You can hover over the icons and it will tell you what store that link will take you to. Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home with my kids! I appreciate your support more than words can say!
I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
