For today’s card, I’m using some favorite stamp sets, dies, and designer paper that are retiring. 

Bee-U-tiful

And, the good news is, Stampin’ Up is having a sale, where some of the product on today’s card is discounted. Clicking this picture takes you to my store, where you’ll see pictures of the products. Keep in mind, the favorites will sell out quickly, so don’t delay ordering.

Back to my project. I’m playing along with Global Design Project, where the theme is “birds, bees, and butterflies.

I began with my favorite bee from the Dragonfly Dreams Stamp Set, stamping it in Memento Black Ink on Daffodil Delight Cardstock. Then, the wonderful, bee die from the Detailed Dragonfly Die Set was used for cutting. 

Next, I cut the “U” (Large Letters die set) and “YOU” (Celebrate You die set) from Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper, and double layered them for thickness.

To match the Gingham Gala letters, I chose Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock for the card base, and a larger gingham check for the first layer. The top layer is Whisper White Cardstock, embossed with the Hexagon folder, to make the bee feel at home.

Before gluing the honeycomb to the gingham, I tied LemonLime Twist, Organdy Ribbon around the bottom.

“T-I-F-U-L” was made with the Labeler Alphabet Stamp Set, by stamping the letters in Memento Black ink on Whisper White Cardstock, hand cutting, and placing on Mini-Dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my favorite retiring products.

Yep, I saw the Detailed Dragonfly Dies, The Celebrate You Dies, and the Large Letter Dies in the discounted list!

Thank you for visiting, and have fun shopping!
