You and Bee Honey Card | Picket Fence Studios
Hello, and Happy Valentine's Day my friends!
Today's card is part of the new collection from Picket Fence's Nature's Wonderland Release, and I couldn't help but make it love-themed with a punny sentiment to celebrate the day😉 Join me and the design team over on Instagram for a fun Hop and chances to win prizes!
CARD RECIPE
Background - Garden Lattice A2 Cover Plate
Bees - Happy Bumble Bee Dies
Flowers - Layering Cherry Blossoms Dies
Sentiment - Wreath Building Greetings From Our Hive
Ink - Black Hybrid Ink Pad
Besides, a little stamping and ink pouncing, the majority of the card was die-cutting and assembly. So I won't go into much detail.
For the bees, I cut out 3 different layers black, white, and yellow. I trimmed out and pieced what I needed. For the little heart, I just colored the white layer with a pink marker. Before gluing the layers together I added some color to the wings and the bee bellies with markers. Once they were glued together, I then linked the antennas and glued the Bees to the card front. Doesn't it look like their bodies are forming a heart?
For the cherry blossoms, I used a Paper Pouncer to add pink ink to the center of the flowers. I then cut an additional white layer that I kept together by affixing tape to the back of the die cuts and then glued the pink layer to it. To finish them off I added a pink gem to each center.
The sentiment was stamped out using the Black Hybrid Ink Pad and then fussy cut.
If you love to be inspired by Nature, make sure you check out the new Picket Fence's Nature's Wonderland Release.
Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Happy Bee Day Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, dear friends, and Happy Easter Monday to those who celebrate Easter 🕇 I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I had to work but was able to enjoy Easter Sunday Dinner with the family.
Today's card features the darling bee from the Lovely Layers: Bugs | Honey Cuts. I love this realistic-looking bee only because I know it is paper, lol! This card could either be used as I intended, as a "b-day" card, or it could just be a Happy Day card too.
CARD RECIPE
To begin, I actually started by die-cutting the pieces for the bee. This time I cut out 2 layers of the wings from vellum, not for realistic purposes but for an artistic one. I just thought it would give it more interest and added dimension. I then colored the layers using Copic Markers and added pen details for that extra layer of detail. To give the wings some sparkle I added a layer of liquid pixie dust.
Next, I die cut the honeycomb, using the HEXAGON BUNCHES Die. To give it the thickness I needed I glued 6 layers together and set it aside. I then worked on the card base. To the front of the card base panel, I used the Spring Leaves A2 Pierced Cover Plate to emboss it. I then ran the card front through the die machine using the HEXAGON BUNCHES Die which created a window. Behind the opening, I used a piece of Gold Mirror Cardstock to close up the window and then glued the finished honeycomb in place. You could also use an acetate piece here if you wanted to leave the card center transparent.
To add all the sparkly bling, I used the Bee Creative Glue to fill in the wells of the honeycomb and then poured the gold glitter on top while the glue was still wet.
For the sentiment, I used a couple of the dies from the BITTY BUZZWORDS Die set, the happy and birthday. Since I only wanted to use the day from birth"day" I cut off the birth part. I stacked and glued 3 black cardstock layers and then topped it off with the same gold mirror paper for both words and then added it to the black shadow layer.
To finish, I used a few of the gold pearls from the Warm Pearls Sticker set.
I really love how this card turned out and I hope it inspired you too. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

***Please note links in the post are no longer active, if you are looking for something specific use this link here to 👉 HONEY BEE STAMPS and search for the product listed. My apologies for the inconvenience and thanks in advance for using my link ***
Hello and happy 2/22/22!!! Welcome to the final day of sneak peeks for the Modern Spring release from Honey Bee Stamps. Make sure you stop by the Honey Bee Stamps Blog for more inspiration from the Design Team featuring more day 4 product reveals! Please note that new links will not be active until the Release goes live on February 22nd, 2021 @9pm CST.
This BEE-autiful card features a ton of new products mostly revealed from day 3, except for the latest foil plates from the new Small Card Hot Foil Plates.
So here is a list of the new products I used:
- Small Card Hot Foil Plate - foiled "I miss you" sentiment
- Small Card, Big Hug Stamps - inside sentiment stamps
- Small Card, Big Hug | Honey Cuts - coordinating die to cut the foiled sentiment
- Lovely Layers: Greenery | Honey Cuts - background foiled using the die cuts
- Lovely Layers: Bugs | Honey Cuts - Bee colored using Copic Markers, Liquid Pixie Dusted wing, for a furry texture I used a white gel pen and a black marker.
Older products used:
- Back to Basics Gem Stickers
- Bitty Buzzwords | Honey Cuts - Friend layered sentiment
- Black Foam Dots 1/4"
- Bee Creative Glue
- Intense Black Ink - inside stamped sentiment
You are always on my mind, stamped on the inside of the card using Intense Black Ink. Oh no, now I have Willie Nelson's song playing in my head... always on my mind😆 Sorry for the earworm, lol!
Well, the wait is almost over... the release will go live tonight after the lives with Honey Bee Stamps on Instagram and Facebook. Make sure to tune in as there is always a giveaway!
I hope my sneak peeks inspired you, can't wait to see what you all make with the new goodies! I'll be sharing more throughout the coming weeks, plus later this week the DT will celebrate with an Instagram Hop and YouTube Hop.
Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
