Hi, everyone! I’m thrilled to have my friend Ardyth Percy-Robb guesting with me this month for Two Many Cards. If you’re new to this series, please visit my original post HERE, which explains how and why we’re sharing our own unique take on the same products.
Today, we’re so excited to be featuring beautiful products from Honey Bee Stamps, including the Rainbow Wishes stamp set and Rainbow Wishes honey cuts. I’m also using the Thanks a Bunch stamp set and Over the Rainbow 6×6 paper pad.
I started by die cutting rainbow arcs from eight patterned papers to represent the colours of the rainbow. I also die cut three of the four cloud dies from both white glitter and silver glitter cardstock.
The sentiment is a custom one created by combining words from both Rainbow Wishes and Thanks a Bunch. It was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black pigment ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder for a shiny look.
On my first card, I added little details like die cut rays on the inside of the peeking cloud, raised edges on the cloud in the foreground and inlaid falling hearts that coordinate with the rainbow.
Oh my second card, I use two rainbows in colours that mirror the order of the other.
I also created a shaker from one of the larger cloud dies. I added sparkling clear sequins in several sizes, both inside the shaker and to embellish the rainbows.
The sentiment from this card is from the Rainbow Wishes stamp set and it was heat embossed just like the first card.
I had so much fun making these two cards and I love how I was able to achieve two totally different looks while keeping both designs clean and simple. I think a set of these would make a great end-of-year teacher gift!
Honey Bee Stamps is giving away TWO $20 gift certificates and one lucky winner will be chosen randomly from each of our videos. You must be a subscriber to both our channels!

Such a cute pair of cards! What a great idea to cut the rainbow arcs out of the patterned paper.
