My Honeybee Hive card began by coloring Basic White Cardstock with a Blending Brush and three colors of yellow ink: So Saffron, Crushed Curry, and Bumblebee. Then, I used the three smallest Layering Circles Dies for cutting. After cutting the circles, I placed them in the new Hive Embossing Folder, and ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

The Hive Embossing Folder is #157955 | $9.00, and will be available January 4, 2022.

Next, I created the background, cutting Basic White Cardstock with the largest Ornate Layers Die. After cutting, I gave it texture with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder, and glued it to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

The bee is from the Honeybee Home Stamp Set, #157943 | $22.00, stamped in Stazon Black Ink, and cut with a Honey Blooms Die, #157951 | $28.00. The stamps and dies can be purchased in a bundle for a 10% savings, #157952 | $45.00, and they will be available January 4, 2022.

After attaching the circles of honeycomb and the bee, I stamped the sentiment in Stazon Ink, and used an Ornate Frames Die for cutting. “To a sweet friend!” is from the current, Sweet As A Peach Stamp Set, and just what I wanted to say.

For a little extra pizzazz, I tied Playful Pets, black & white trim, around the fold of the card.

I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
