Now, onto todays card. I used Honeybee Home Stamp Set, it will be available on May 3, 2022! 

I just love those bees!

The sentiments in this set are beautiful and the font is so elegant!

Directions:

Start with a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of Daffodil Delight Card Stock. Score it in half at 5 1/2".

Attach a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic Black C/S to the card base.

Cut a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of Daffodil Delight C/S and emboss it using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. Decide if you would like to show the "embossed" or "debossed" side. Then attach it to the Basic Black C/S layer.

Die cut 3 Basic Black C/S hexagons and 3 smaller Basic White C/S hexagons using the Beautiful Shapes Dies.

On the 3 Basic White C/S shapes stamp a bee using Memento Black Ink. Colour the bee body using a Daffodil Delight Dark Stampin' Blends and a Dark Basic Black Stampin' Blends. Add some Wink Of Stella for some sparkle!

Glue the shapes together then attach them to the card front using Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White C/S, stamp the sentiment in Memento Black Ink. Attach it to a slightly larger Basic Black C/S strip. Flag cut one end. Attach it to the card.

Tie a bow using the Glittered Organdy Ribbon, attach it to the card using a Glue Dot.

Add some Iridescent Rhinestones to finish off the card.

I hope you enjoy todays bright and cheery card. 

Happy Stamping and Creating!

New Post-Bee Fun Fold

 Bee Fun Fold Card

I made this adorable Bee card using the Hello LadyBug Bundle. I love it when a Stampin' Up! punch can be used in different ways!

Directions:

The base of this fun fold is a single layer of Basic Black Card Stock, 5 1/2" x 4 1/8". 

Cut 2 pieces of Daffodil Delight C/S, 1 1/2" x 4" and emboss using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. Attach these 2 pieces to each side of the Basic Black layer.

Cut another piece of Basic Black C/S to 2 3/4" x 8 1/4" and score it at 4 1/8". Using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue attach this to the card front between the 2 Daffodil Delight panels. This creates the flip opening.

Cut 2 pieces of Basic White C/S to 2 5/8" x 4". Emboss one using the Floral 3D Embossing Folder then attach it to the front flap. The second panel is the inside of the flap.

Die cut 1 Basic Black C/S label and 1 smaller Basic White C/S label using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Stamp a sentiment and some flowers onto the Basic White C/S label using Daffodil Delight and Memento Black Inks. Attach the 2 labels together then attach them to the card front flap using Dimensionals. Add a Polished Dot to each end of the Basic Black C/S label.

On the inside Basic White C/S panel stamp a few flowers using Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped off once to get a lighter look.

To make the adorable bee follow the instructions below:

For the bee wings cut a piece of Vellum Card Stock to 2 1/4" x 3" wide, fold in half, place the fold side into the punch as shown in the photo. Leave a small gap in the punch so that the wings punch out in one piece that will be doubled. 

I attached the wings to the bee using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. Set aside to dry. 

Attach the bee to the card using Dimensionals.

I hope you get a chance to play today and create your own fun fold bee card!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Honey Bee Bundle

I love this bright and cheery card! We all need some happiness right now. Any hobby you have is a great way to relieve stress and have some happy time. For me it's paper crafting! Time in my craft room is very relaxing and when I design a card that I love it's also very rewarding. 

The card base is Whisper White with a Basic Black layer and another layer of Daffodil Delight embossed with the Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder. I stamped the Honey Bees, Hive and sentiment in Memento Black and die cut them out. The Honeycomb is die cut using Gold Foil and another cut using Gold Glimmer. Save all the bits and pieces for another creation! I added some Daffodil Delight Blends to the bees and of course some Wink Of Stella for some sparkle!  

Hope you like todays card and please stay safe!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Arlene
