Simple & fun card sketch with Honeybee Home

Do you ever use card sketches to get inspired?  I love them!  I find most of them on Pinterest. 

We use card sketches & color combos on my Flowerbug's Team group for challenges & inspiration.  It's so fun to see the different projects everyone comes up with. This is the sketch we're using now:

I used it as inspiration to create this card with the Honeybee Home bundle and the Simply Marbelous designer series paper. 

Save

It's such an easy sketch to use.  Some are using card stock, others designer paper and one used ribbon!  

My card is Basic Bray with Bumblebee accents.  Gray & yellow are beautiful together.  In fact one of my bathrooms has these colors! 

The Simply Marbelous designer paper was my color inspiration.  This 6 X 6" DSP is free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through the month of February; or while supplies last.  See it here.

On the video I share my tips on placing these 1/4" strips.  It's a little tricky but entirely doable!  

Save

The greeting and flower die are placed on a circle die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here.  

Save

See this Honeybee Home bundle here.  The stamp set has pretty images & greetings and the dies work great as silhouettes!

  Today I'm sharing more of our Team swaps from our latest gathering.  

  First up is Tracey's swap featuring the Full of Life designer paper.

  Save

  This pack of paper is filled with bold patterns and bright colors; see it here.  She layered 3 pieces of designer paper with Berry Burst card stock. The greeting is heat embossed on the back side of one of these patterns.

  The butterflies are from the Paper Butterfly Accents seen here. They are available in the online store now.

  Her fresh color combination is Lemon Lolly with Soft Sea Foam. She added this pretty soft yellow ink to the daisy centers and layered the dies so nicely they look super realistic!  The embossing folder is the Exposed Brick 3D which is currently out of stock; but it will be back!

• Fabulous Team Swaps!

  May 22, 2024

  We held our monthly Flowerbug's Team Meeting on Saturday and I wanted to share the card swaps they made. 

  First is a beautiful card made by Candy who featured the new Loveliest Tree stamp set seen here.  

  Save

  Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss and Cajun Craze.  Gorgeous!!  The embossing folder is the Eyelet 3D folder seen here.

  Save

  There are dies that go with it too. I believe she colored the tree in with Blends markers. She also used Wink of Stella on the tree image – it shows up very well in person but not as much in person.

  Next is a neat fun fold card made by Jacki. She chose the Trusty Tools stamp set & dies.  

  Save

  See the stamp set here and the dies here.  They were a bundle in the Spring catalog and carried over into the new Annual Catalog. 

  The designer paper is the Countryside Inn DSP seen here that carried over and is now online.
