Buzz into spring with the Queen Bee Bundle

Posted on by

Bees. A sign that planting season is on it’s way. With the first unseasonably warm days I noticed a lot of buzzing going on and I was surprised to see that bees so early. With the flocks of Robins migrating through and with all the privet and trees popping I guess it’s time. And if you love flowers and a eclectic feel this Queen Bee Bundle (160485) might be right already be on your radar since this bee’s details is just lovely.

This first card uses a fun fold with a bit of the inside panel peeking out along with the Queen Bee Dies (160484) to create a lot of fun details for the card.

The Hive 3D Embossing Folder (157955) add some fun texture and works beautifully with this bundle. And this next card while using the same stamp set has a completely different feel to it. The stamped layer has been cut out using our Scalloped Contour Dies (155560) which gives a delicate feel.

Done in bright color of Melon Mambo and Mango Melody it uses the dies to add the flower details onto the stamped image and do you see the cute little flowers by the sentiment? They are our Loose Daisy Embellishments (160555). I just LOVE the way Stampin’ Up! products work so well together.

The In Your Words stamp set (156619) is filled with wonderful sentiments to use for all kinds of occasions.

This stamp set is one of our special Host Benefits during Sale-a-bration that you’ll earn in addition to the regular benefits. That is a great way to have fun with family and friends AND get free product!

Let’s check out some cards made with this stamp set and more. These first 2 cards have been teamed up with other Sale-a-bration products. for this first card the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 156630) was used as the back drop. I just love this kind of paper since Black & White is so classic and can be teamed up with the color of your choice like this card does with the pretty Fresh Freesia.

Add a bit of color to the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper with our Blending Brushes and you’ve got tons of choices too!

Or how about these fun birthday cards, perfect for a winter time birthday since it uses the fun Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 158420)?

Circles every where even the back ground on this card since it uses the Checks & Dots Embossing Folders (155432) on the Misty Moonlight layer. And this next card uses the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (Host 155426) as a backdrop along with the fun Stitched So Sweetly (151690) and Basic Borders Dies (155558) to create a wonderful fall color combination.

And if you are loving the Designer Series Paper in our Catalogs how about this next card using the very popular Hand Penned Designer Series Paper (155499) and Hippo & Friends Dies (153585) found in our Annual Catalog?

And last but not least these last 2 cards were created with my favorite Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (155807).

And who can resist this Mint Macaron fun fold? I love this little sentiment surprise when you open the first panel.

Fun right?
