Stampin’ Up! Honey Bee Bonanza for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hey y’all – it’s Thursday, so it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!!  Today’s a color challenge – and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table!  I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!

So.  Can you believe that the Honey Bee stamp set and coordinating Detailed Bee Dies are RETIRING!??!  Waaaaaaaaa!!!!  😢😢😢

I know.  I feel your pain.  But – the fact remains – they ARE retiring.  As is the fun and festive Birthday Bonanza DSP.  Which means you need to be sure you grab it ALL up now – only the stamp set is guaranteed to be around thru the end of the catalog on 2 Jun – the rest are only while supplies last!

Perhaps the card I made for you today will help you decide to act right now!

And here’s the color palette we were all working with!

I kind of loosely based my layout on the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches this week!

I started with some paper from the Birthday Bonanza DSP that I matted on Bermuda Bay for the card front.

On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped the bee skep from Honey Bee in Grapefruit Grove.

A skep could TOTALLY be Grapefruit Grove colored! 😉

Above it, I added the curved sentiment in Bermuda Bay.

I used my Journaling Pen to do a little doodling around the outline of the skep – adhered the panel to a Bermuda Bay mat and onto the card front with Liquid Glue.

I stamped the little bee in Tuxedo Black on Whisper White – and the Hello sentiment in Bermuda Bay.   I cut the bee with the matching die in the Detailed Bee dies and the sentiment with the Classic Label Punch.

Using my Light Bermuda Bay and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend Markers, I colored the wing and body of the bee.  Then I adhered the sentiment with Liquid Glue and popped the bee on with a Black Stampin’ Dimensional.

I tied a bow with some Grapefruit Grove twine from the Nature’s Twine Pack (this is ALSO retiring!) and adhered it with a Glue Dot.

I also colored some Pearl Basic Jewels with the Dark Daffodil Delight Blend and adhered them around the card front and on the sentiment – and the card front was done!

On the inside, I added a second Honey Bee sentiment in Bermuda Bay to a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the little bee in Tuxedo Black and colored it with the Light Bermuda Bay and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend Markers.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Bermuda Bay mat and into my Basic Black card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more bees on the front…

…and I added more of the Birthday Bonanza DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  I do love the Honey Bee stamp set and the super-cool Detailed Bee Dies, don’t you?  And there’s nothing like the Birthday Bonanza DSP for a fun and cheerful card!  These goodies – plus the Nature’s Twine Pack and all-things Grapefruit Grove – are all leaving on 2 June!  So…don’t miss out.

 

I hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Detailed Honey Bee Gate Card With Video Tutorial

Happy Friday!!  Hope you’ve had a good week – and are looking forward to the weekend!  Have you been perusing the Retired List in the online store?  If you haven’t….stop right here and go double check!  Here’s the link.

I’ll wait.

Good? Okay. 🙂

If you were able to join me for my YouTube video – I appreciate you spending some of your day with me!  If not, but you’d like to see the replay…here ’tis!

The card I made was heavily inspired by a card I saw on one of the SU! Demonstrator FB pages, created by June Dunn.  She thought way outside the box and saw…a hephalump’s badonkadonk in….the (Retiring) Honey Bee stamp set with the matching Detailed Bee Dies.  And it was adorable.  So…I made one of my own. Take a look-see:

I turned mine into a gate card fun fold and played along with the TGIF Challenge this week!

So…gate cards are seriously easy.  But they LOOK like they might be tricky – making your awesomeness-quotient very high when you give one of these to someone! 😉  Hang tight – here we go!

I started with a Smoky Slate card base at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and used my Simply Scored tool to score along the long side at 2 1/8″ and 6 3/8″.  Then I folded inwards at both score lines.  Boom.  Gate card.  Made.

I matted two pieces of Blushing Bride paper from the Subtles 6″ x 6″ DSP on Blushing Bride card stock and adhered them to the outside of each gate with Liquid Glue.

For the bellyband, I used a 1″ wide piece of Blushing Bride card stock – about 10″ long.  I wrapped it around the card, securing it in the front with Liquid Glue.

I cut the second-to-largest Stitched So Sweetly rectangle die in Whisper White and stamped a sentiment from the Honey Bee set in Blushing Bride.  Then I adhered it to the belly band with Liquid Glue.

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the Honey Bee hive (or skep…) in Basic Gray three times.  One of them, I cut with the die in the Detailed Bee set – that’s the badonkadonk.

The other two, I punched with the smooth-sided heart die from the (carrying over!) Heart Punch Pack.   From the third one, I fussy cut a “trunk”.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the trunk and ears (that were hearts just a hot second ago!) to the Stitched So Sweetly panel.  I popped the bee hive – which is now a hiney! – on with Stampin’ Dimensionals. 🙂

I cut a tiny flower from a scrap of Peaceful Poppies DSP using the little die from the Garden Gateway Dies (also carrying over – yeah!) and adhered it to the end of the trunk with Liquid Glue.

I made a little tassel from some Silver Metallic Thread and adhered it to…uh,hmmm…with a Glue Dot.  I tied a teensy bow from Whisper White Solid Baker’s Twine and added it with another Glue Dot.

Two Champagne Rhinestone Jewels – one on the bow and one on the flower – finished off the belly band (which is, really, the card front!).

On the inside, I stamped a second Honey Bee sentiment in Blushing Bride on a Whisper White panel.  I added the two flower images in Basic Gray – and colored the flowers with my Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Blushing Bride mat and into the card base – and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more Honey Bee flowers on the front…

…and a little more Subtles 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  How to make an elephant out of a bee hive.  Cool, huh?  The Honey Bee stamp set and matching Detailed Bee Dies are so sweet – and this will be your last opportunity to snap them up!

I hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Bee So Sweetly Sentimental for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hey y’all – it’s Thursday, so it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!!  Today’s a color challenge – and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table!  I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!

The color challenge really focused my attention on the Golden Honey Specialty DSP (which is a Level 1 – $50 reward in Sale-A-Bration.  That’s code for FREE with a $50 order!) and I added the coordinating Honey Bee Bundle and the So Sentimental Bundle to round it all out.  Take a look-see:

What – oh WHAT?!? – could the color challenge possibly BEE?!?!

I also grabbed a layout from this week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge.

I started with the Black and Gold striped paper in the Golden Honey Specialty DSP and matted it on Basic Black for the card front.

I used the honeycomb die in the Detailed Bee Die Set to cut a Gold Glimmer Paper honeycomb and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

Then I matted a smaller piece of a second design (black with gold honeycomb) on Basic Black and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I took a final design (white with black leaves and bees) and adhered a smaller rectangle with Liquid Glue.

On a piece of Basic Black cardstock, I stamped the beehive image from the Honey Bee stamp set in Versamark, sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool.  Then I cut it out with the die in the bundled Detailed Bee Die set.

I adhered the beehive to the card front with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a piece of Whisper White, in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, I used my Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment from Honey Bee.  I cut that out with a die from the Stitched So Sweetly Die set.  Then I used Liquid Glue and Black Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment.

On Whisper White, I stamped both bee images in Tuxedo Black and cut them with their matching dies.  I also stamped the large bee on Vellum card stock.  Hint:  this takes a minute (or a FEW minutes!) to dry.  Don’t rush it!

I used my Crushed Curry (hey – it’s gold-adjacent!) Stampin’ Write Marker to color the bees.  Then I curled the wings of the two larger bees with my Bone Folder.  Using a Glue Dot, I adhered the Vellum bee to the card stock bee.  Then I added it to the bee hive with Liquid Glue.  I brushed the wings with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

I used a Black Dimensional and Liquid Glue to adhere the small bee by the sentiment.  I tied a little bow from Black Baker’s Twine in the Country Club Baker’s Twine Combo Pack and adhered it with a Glue Dot.

To finish it all off, I adhered a few of the Gold Glimmer Paper hexagons (that came out of the die cut honeycomb) onto the card front – and the card front was done!

On the inside, I used my Stamparatus to add a sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set in Tuxedo Black on a Whisper White panel.  Over that, I added the beehive in Crushed Curry.  I stamped the little bee in Tuxedo Black – and colored it with my Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Basic Black mat and into my Whisper White card base, popped the card front on with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another Crushed Curry beehive and Tuxedo Black bee on the front…

…and some more of the Golden Honey Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  How gorgeous is the Golden Honey Specialty DSP?!?  And – it’s FREE during Sale-A-Bration!  Wow!

The So Sentimental Bundle with the uber-wunnermus Stitched So Sweetly Die set is a total workhorse and one of my absolute favorite new goodies!  Sentiments and cool shapes?  Winner Winner!

And – bees are so “right now”  and on trend.  And just so stinkin’ cute!  So the Honey Bee stamp set and bundled Detailed Bee Dies….perfect!

I hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday to You Honey Bee Sneak Peek

Good morning and happy New Years Eve on the last day of 2019 and the DECADE!!  Hope whatever plans you have for this evening will be fun and safe.  Ours include…bed.  Probably by 9:30 as usual.  MIGHT wake up around midnight IF we happen to hear any fireworks.  Chance are slim.

Yes.  We ARE party animals! 😉

Now – before I go any further… Stampin’ Up! just gave us news this morning.  Write this down!

Cutting Blades Multipack Available January 3

The Cutting Blades Multipack (item 152391) from the January–June 2020 Mini Catalog will be available on January 3, with the beginning of the catalog sales period. The pack includes four blades for $12.00!!

There are just a few more days before you can get your hands on the blades and ALL the great goodies I’ve been teasing you with for the past few weeks!  The new 2020 Jan-Jun Mini catalog and Sale-A-Bration flyer goes LIVE in just three days!!  Whoo-hoo!!

Speaking of new catalogs – I’ve got another little look at some of the Sale-A-Bration freebies.  The Happy Birthday To You stamp set (a $50 level item) and the Golden Honey Specialty DSP (also a $50 level item), pairs up with the Honey Bee Bundle from the 2020 Jan – Jun Mini Catalog.  Take a look-see:

This monochromatic color palette comes from this week’s Sunday Stamps color challenge!

I started by matting some of the Golden Honey Specialty DSP on So Saffron for the card front.  I colored the bees and flowers on the DSP with my So Saffron Stampin’ Write Marker.

Then I cut a piece of So Saffron and one of Golden Honey Specialty DSP with the largest Stitched So Sweetly frame die.  I adhered them at an angle with Liquid Glue.  About here is where I realized I’d been hitting this “angled panel” layout pretty hard lately – sorry! 🙁

On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped three flowers and the small bee from the Honey Bee set in Basic Gray ink.  Then I cut them all out with their matching dies in the Detailed Bee Dies (bundled with the Honey Bee stamp set!).  I colored the bee stripes and flowers with my So Saffron Stampin’ Write Marker.

I stamped the sentiment from Honey Bee in Basic Gray on So Saffron and cut it out with the smallest Stitched So Sweetly frame die.

I adhered the flowers to the card front with Liquid Glue and popped the sentiment over top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Then I stuck Mr. Bee on with Liquid Glue.

I tied a tiny Linen Thread bow and adhered it with a dab of Liquid Glue. Then I used my Dark So Saffron Stampin’ Blend to color a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels and stuck them here and there.  And that was it for the card front!

On the inside, I stamped a big sentiment from the Happy Birthday To You stamp set in Basic Gray on Whisper White.  Then I added some little bees in Smoky Slate – colored with my Light So Saffron Stampin’ Blend.  I finished with a single Rhinestone Basic Jewel colored with the Dark So Saffron Blend.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a So Saffron mat and into my Basic Gray card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more Smoky Slate and So Saffron bees on the front…

…and more of the Golden Honey Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  I’ve got this one in mind for a bee-loving friend of mine!  I really love the whole group of bee-goodies!  The Honey Bee stamp and it’s bundled Detailed Bee Die set in the Mini catalog and the Golden Honey Specialty DSP – free with a $50 purchase in the Sale-a-Bration flyer!  And the Happy Birthday To You set (also free with a $50 purchase) has the perfect sentiments – and even a big ole cake!  I hope you like!

So – the Honey Bee bundle is a part of my Special Bundle #6 – The Don’t Worry Bee Happy Bundle – as well as a whole bunch of other goodies – including the Timeless Tropical bundle and DSP.  Be sure to check it out!

AND – when you order this bundle, you’ll get a roll of 5/16″ Braided Burlap Trim FREE and you’ll qualify for 3 $50 Sale-A-Bration rewards OR 1 $100 and 1 $50 reward.  Maybe…some Golden Honey Specialty DSP to round out the bee-theme??  😉
