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!

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

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

  Starting tomorrow there’s a 24 hour stamp & stamp tools sale – 15% off a whole bunch of products!

  Save

  I’ll post a link to the sale tomorrow. But for now start making your list of stamps you want!

  ~~~

  Today I’m sharing some of my Team swap cards from our September swap.

  First is a cute card made by Joan:

  Save

  She used the More Than Autumn bundle seen here.

  Save

  Look at her amazing coloring on the cups! And it’s a fun fold with a gift card option too!

  Save

  Her colors include Timid tiger, Vanilla with Daffodil Delight. She colored everything with Blends markers. The center panel is the Beautiful Bokeh DSP.

  Measurements:
  – card base 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″
  – Daffodil textured layer 4″ X 5 1/4″
  -Timid Tiger accordion fold 9 3/4″ X 4 1/4″ scored at 3 1/4″ & 6 1/2″
  – Vanilla & DSP layers 3″ X 4″

  Next is a sweet card made by Candy who also used this bundle:

  Save

  Her colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon & Pumpkin Pie.

  She textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Plaid 3D embossing folder. The circle is about 2 1/2″ around and is a Stylish Shapes die-cut as well as the greeting die-cut.
  
  ~~~

  And lastly today is a perfectly Autumn card made by Gwen. It’s her first time swapping! She did a wonderful job!

  Save

  Each of these cards features the More Than Autumn bundle and they’re all so unique. It’s a pretty big bundle with a wide variety of images and dies. She used the new Gathering Together specialty paper seen here. She added a center strip under her images that’s 1 3/4″ wide. Cajun Craze with Very Vanilla are her card stock colors. The greeting die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies.

  Thanks for stopping in; I hope you enjoyed the card swaps today. I’ll share more soon!

• A neat vertical ‘Book Binding’ card fold with video tutorial

  September 16, 2025

  ---

  Here’s the second card I shared on last week’s video. It’s a neat book binding card that’s vertical instead of the usual horizontal card.

  Save

  The colors include Gray Granite & Early Espresso with White. I chose these colors to match the Toile designer paper from the Holiday Catalog. See it here.

  Save

  The view above shows the card open. The card starts as a normal 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ card base but has two extra score lines. See the measurements and directions here on the free project sheet. Click on this link to download or print it.

  I made multiples of this card for an online swap I participated in. I love swapping and making multiples of the same card.

  Save

  Click play on the video below to see how it’s made.
