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!

• Gears & Textures bundle; another wow with Candace’s fun fold card

  January 28, 2026

  ---

  Today I’m sharing a neat card made by Candace; my talented team member. She used the Gears & Textures bundle to make this:

  Save

  You can see the Gears & Textures bundle here. It’s so special & unique and perfect for masculine cards. But as you can see in Candace’s card it’s great for gals too!

  Save

  She made her own paper with the stamps in the set. She used Pretty in Pink, Night of Navy & Flirty Flamingo inks. She added die-cut gears from the Metallic Textured Specialty papers seen here.

  Save

  If you want to make a card like this start out with a 4 1/4″ X 11″ piece of card stock scored at 5 1/2″. Trim off a 1 1/2″ piece from one end. Then trim off another 2 1/2″ piece which is the vertical center piece. The stamped paper layers are 1 1/4″ X 4″ on the top & bottom and the center is 2 1/4″ X 4″.

  Thanks for the amazing fun fold card Candace!

• Sweet Encircled with Love Valentine’s card

  January 27, 2026

  Tracey created this striking card with the Made with Love designer paper:

  Save

  I love the abstract designer paper pieces she added to her White layer. Then to make sure the greeting was the focal point she added the top square of DSP. Perfect!
  This is a great example of taking leftover pieces of coordinating DSP and layering them up. A great way to use scraps!

  She used the Encircled with Love stamp set seen here along with the 1 3/4″ & 1 7/8″ circle punches. Her colors include Real Red, Flirty Flamingo with White which she got from the pretty designer paper.

  Save

  See the Made with Love designer paper here.

  Your card inspired me to look at and use my DSP scraps Tracey! Thank you.

  This fun fold looks difficult but it’s quite deceiving. It’s really so simple to make; I hope you try one! I’m a bit obsessed with this fold!

  The Friendly Foliage bundle is a big favorite of many since it came out in our Online store a few months ago.
