Hello friends! I'm very very excited to finally be able to share the brand new Spring 2018 Release from HONEY BEE STAMPS! Today we're kicking off a giant two day blog hop with loads of your favorite crafters, tons of inspiration, and great prizes! I'm the last stop here for Day One! Welcome to my blog! So happy to see you here. I've been working with these new stamps and dies for a while now and I've been really wanting to share projects. Well....today is finally the day! Yipppeeeeeee! CLICK HERE to go to the Honey Bee Blog for all the news and information. The new release is all available now for shopping in the Honey Bee Store! I'm not sure, but I'm thinking this might be their biggest release yet. Enjoy the hop! I'm sharing three cards today. Some fun cute critters and some boho chic inspired!
First up is this boho chic inspired card made with the new My Tribe stamps and dies. I combined the stamps and dies with a pretty 6x6 paper pad from my stash. I colored the images with watercolor pencils and a water brush. Super easy - and super easy to match the colors in the papers too!
I kept the coloring soft and pretty in a muted color palette. I added some pearls for a bit of shimmer and also twine on the left side of the card. I tore the patterned papers with my hands - very free and easy. It's a nice way to add texture and interest.
I absolutely LOVE this sentiment and the beautiful font! I'll be using that one a lot!! So fresh and pretty.
As usual, my elements are attached to the card using foam tape for added dimensional interest. This card makes me want to go to Coachella! LOL.
Next up are two cards made with the crazy cute new critters: Lily the Lamb and Pinky the Pig! EEEEK! Really adorable! I had a lot of fun coloring these with my Copic Markers! I kept the color palettes bright and fresh and Spring-like.
That Lily is super sweet! The die cut for the lamb is in two pieces - the body and the face. I added a third layer by cutting out her little poof of hair too! Just F-U-N! She is in her little meadow of green gingham grass cut with the new grass die. The fence is a brand new die too. It all works together so nicely! The sentiments in the accompanying stamp sets crack me up. Puns and silly sentiments along with serious ones. Gotta love how Honey Bee does sentiments.
And lastly for today - Pinky the Pig! With his adorable wings!! Again, everything is colored with Copic Markers and kept nice and bright. I gave him a heart to hold and used the Hogs and Kisses sentiment. This would make a cute 'love' card or Valentine's card.
Pinky comes with all of his own accessories! His hands hold a coffee, a donut, a cupcake....all kinds of things! There is a slot cut into the die cut that makes it easy to get perfect placement. It was hard to decide which ones to use!
This is such a fun release! I've only shown you a few of the new things! Have you done the entire hop? The full list is right below! There is another day of hopping tomorrow too - with more inspirational projects. The entire release is available now - CLICK HERE!

Wonderful cards! I love animal stamps as well and it's great that the hooves are cut for you with the die. Adding the third layer to the sheep was a fantastic idea.

"Ewe" did have fun making these cards for the blog, I can tell! Love you bright coloring and the gingham grass is a nice touch of extra creativity. I agree with you - Honey Bees sentiment stamps are royally outstanding and those big, bold die words are fantastic.
