Honey Bee with Golden Honey Designer Paper

I know some people do not like yellow but I always have.  When I was young I chose to a yellow and orange them for my bedroom!  (The walls were yellow and the only orange were in accents so it wasn't too garish!)

When yellow is paired with Black and White it's a happy and striking color combination in my opinion!

Here I used Daffodil Delight with the pretty Golden Honey Designer series paper.  It's one of the free choices during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  I was thrilled to see another black and white designer paper in the offering this year!  You can pair it with just about any color!  It also has gold foil accents on many of the sheets.  click here to see it.

My gals made this card at my New Catalog Stamp a Stack this last Saturday.  The new Honey Bee bundle coordinates with this paper beautifully.  

Measurements:

• Daffodil Delight main card – 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
• Black 3 5/8” X 4 ¾”
• White scrap for hive and for ‘thank you’ greeting
• Golden Honey left is 2 ½”X 3 ¼”, right is 2” X 3 ¼”

• AMAZING Gone Fishing Vest card

  August 25, 2023

  ---

  We were all amazed at Jacki's swap card; look at this!!

  Save

  Our theme was to make a card without a greeting on it.  What a huge 'WOW' card she made!  

  She used Night of Navy, Real Red, Silver foil (online exclusive) and some Countryside Inn DSP for the pockets and inside trim. 

  Save

  Her card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" tall. It's scored 2 1/8" from each edge. She used circle dies to cut the arm holes and scored the collar to fold it back.  She also trimmed the bottom at angles and sponged the edges with Navy ink to give it depth. 

  I'm not sure how she cut the pockets.  But I know I would create one I'm happy with and then use it as a template to cut the rest.  She made over 10 of these; it took her many evenings to make them all.  Those of us lucky enough to get one sure appreciate it!!

  I am wondering how many people will be casing this incredible card….  

  Save

  All of the extra items in the pockets are from the Gone Fishing bundle; it has so many fabulous die-cuts in it.  See it here.

• Get Designer Paper ideas from these neat Team swaps

  August 24, 2023

  Our latest Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to create cards without a greeting on the front.  I shared quite a few yesterday and here are three more: 

  First is a card made by Paula; check out the many details!

  Save

  She featured the Earthen Elegance suite seen here – the Earthen Textures bundle, the Earthen Elegance designer paper and the neat Natural 1/4" wavy trim too!  

  Lots of details and textures here:

  1. She spattered her Vanilla textured front layer using a paint brush. 
  2. She stamped one of the natural elements images on the right inside layer. 
  3. She wrapped the vase (cut from the Earthen Elegance DSP) with the Natural Wavy trim and added another die-cut piece  as a second decorative element.  

  Measurements: 

  • Card base is 6 1/2" X 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4"
  • Vanilla front 2" X 5 1/4", inside 4" X 5 1/4"
  • DSP inside 1" X 5 1/4"

  ~~~

  Next is a special card fold made by Annette who featured the Masterfully Made designer paper: 

  Save

  It doesn't look like a fun fold from the front.  But it sure shows off that pretty designer paper! 

  Do you see the wavy die-cut trim in Pretty Peacock?  It separates the right side edge of the same DSP as the front.  She folded it back on itself so you see both sides of the DSP on the card front.  What a neat idea!  

  Here's the inside view.  She added the other die-cut edge as an extra detail to the inside of the card.  

  I believe her measurements are: 

  • DSP 6" X 5 1/2", score at 1/2" and 4 3/4" (the 1/2" side is adhered to the back of the quarter size card base.  
  • Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", plus a 1 1/4" X 5 1/2" strip to cut the wavy trim (Basic Border dies)

  Next is a book binding fun fold card made by Candy. She featured the Sweet & Precious stamp set seen here.  

  Save

  Her colors include Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie and Pretty Peacock. 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
  • DSP 1" X 4"
  • Pretty Peacock 4" square

  Details:

  • She colored the sweet animals in with her Blends markers. 
  • The circle and square die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes dies. 
  • The Pretty Peacock layer is textured with the Fern 3D folder
  • The DSP on the left edge is the Glorious Gingham.
