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!

• Awesome fun fold swaps by the Flowerbug’s

  June 21, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing two neat fun fold cards made by a few of my Flowerbug's for a recent card swap. Our them was to use a new 2025-27 In Color and make it a fun fold.  

  First is a card made by Joan who used the new Online Exclusive set 'It's Okay' seen here.  

  Save

  Her In Color is Strawberry Slush and she loves to color; as you can see!  It's a triple fold card; here's how the first panel opens:

  Here are her measurements:

  • card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • White opening panel 8" X 5 1/4" scored at 4"
  • inside DSP – large right panel is 3 3/4" X 5", greeting strip 3 7/8" X 1", back of the front panel 3 1/4" X 2 1/4"
  • front white panel 3" X 4 1/4"
  • Front Strawberry panel 3" X 4 1/4"
  • side strip to connect panels 3" X 1" scored in half

  Isn't her coloring gorgeous?  That Bokeh DSP is perfect here!

  June 17, 2025

  I shared two pretty cards featuring the Gallery Blooms bundle on last week's video.  The first was shared here.  And this is the second one:

  Save

  Both featured the bundle and two main colors – Secret Sea with Fresh Freesia.  The greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essentials set seen here.  I'm so glad it didn't retire! 

  Get the measurements for this card on the free project sheet below. 

  Save

  There's also a third card (top left) that I'll share tomorrow. 

  Save

  I stamped the flowers on the Fresh Freesia layer to create a background pattern and used the same for the inside of the card. The two sets of flowers are stamped in Secret Sea and die-cut with the coordinating dies. 

  Save

  This Gallery Blooms bundle comes with the stamp set and the coordinating dies and it's part of the Suite Sale of Buy one Get one 1/2 off.  See it here.
