Honey Bee – Stampin' with inkybutterfly

Blue Tiles

Hello Everyone,

Photopolymer stamp sets are so easy to use, especially when lining up images like this.

Here I have used the Verdant Garden stamp set to create this tile effect.

Again, j am using up some remaining Blueberry Bushel card stock for the card base.

Balmy Blue ink was used first, stamping the image across a white layer. Blueberry Bushel ink was used fill in the gaps with the compliment image from the set.

Polka Dot Tulle, (not retiring!), was added around the layer before adhering it to the card base.

The sentiment was taken from the Honey Bee stamp set and cut with the smallest Stitched So Sweetly die, (also staying!).

I hope you enjoyed this project.

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Lovely Lipstick Friendship Card

Hello Everyone,

Have you checked out the Last Chance products yet?

The new annual catalogue launches next month which means making room in the warehouse and retiring some products.

There are a few things to consider when looking at the list;

1. Bundles will retire, but may still be available as individual items in the new catalogue.

2. 2018 In Colours and anything with those colours included, (DSP, ribbon, embellishments etc.) will retire…. But don’t worry new colours are on the way!

3. Individual Stampin’ Blends markers will no longer be available.

You can view the retiring products here

So this card uses retiring items, Lovely Lipstick ink and card stock, Best Dressed DSP and the Honey Bee stamp set.

The DSP panel measures 2 by 5 inches and was adhered to Lovely Lipstick card stock cut 1/8 inch larger on both sides.

I adhered this panel to a preprepared card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Honey Bee stamp set was stamped with Lovely Lipstick ink and cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies…. Thankfully these dies are staying, I use them so much!

A scattering of clear rhinestone jewels finished off the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

More Honey Bees

Hello Everyone,

I couldn’t resist making another card with the Honey Bee bundle and Golden Honey DSP.

The card is made in a very similar way to one of my previous posts.

The topper was made by first cutting Crushed Curry card stock with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. A piece of white card stock was cut to size and adhered to the panel.

The sentiment was stamped next with black ink and also cut with a So Sentimental die.

The hive and bees were stamped and die cut with the coordinating dies.

The elements were positioned on the card before committing to adhering them to the card with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Hello Everyone,

Today’s post is an entry for a new creativity challenge!

You can check it out, and see inspiration here

This is the card I have created….

I chose to work with the Honey Bee bundle and Golden Honey Designer Series Paper.

I love the coordination and the monochromatic style of the products.

The background is made with layers of DSP and Stitched Rectangles cut from vellum and Crushed Curry card stock.

The other elements were stamped and die cut. Colour was added to the bees and flowers with a marker.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

For this project I wanted to create a wreath look with the Painted Labels dies. These elements were cut from Crumb Cake and Whisper White card stock.

The sentiment from the Honey Bee set was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink.

The same ink was used to add the foliage on the white card layer.

The card was assembled using a Crumb Cake card base.

One each of the coloured flowers on the paper was punched and adhered to the card.

A rhinestone was added to each of the flower centres.

Every Moment

Hello Everyone,

Did you know you can get this pack of patterned paper for FREE during the Sale-a-bration event?

The paper coordinates perfectly with the Honey Bee bundle, add some card stock to make a qualifying purchase of £45.

The paper was adhered to a Whisper White card base.

Memento ink was used to stamp two bees and the sentiment. The coordinating dies were used to cut the bees. The Nested Labels set was used to cut the sentiment. I also cut the honeycomb, which I coloured with a Mango Melody blends marker.

The die cuts were added to the card base with dimensionals. The honeycomb is very delicate, so this was sandwiched between two dimensionals which also secure the sentiment and one of the bees!

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Sweet Friend

Hello Everyone,

My card today uses the Honey Bee bundle alongside the Golden Honey Speciality Designer Series Paper. The paper is one of the items available for free with a qualifying order during Sale-a-bration!

The paper was cut to size to cover the front of a white card base.

Black card stock was cut with a Stitched Rectangle die and adhered to the card with dimensionals.

The sentiment was positioned below this panel. This was cut with the smallest die from the Stitched So Sweetly set.

Three bees were stamped, coloured with Mango Melody and Pool Party blends markers and die cut. These were added to the black rectangle with multipurpose glue.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.
