Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee Hello
The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee stamp set and the Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home stamp set. This is a card I saw from Brandy Cox. 
This challenge goes well with my card today, as there are always lots of bees in the Spring.
I am also entering the Creative Creases Challenge as it is always a fun fold and my card is a fun fold today.
I started with a piece of Basic White card stock 8-1/2″ x 11″ scored at 4-1/4″ on the short side and 5-1/2″ on the long side. On the 8-1/2″ side cut down the score line to the 5-1/2″ score line. The piece cut out can be used to cut the 2-1/2 x 3″ piece for the inside sentiment. This will be the card base. I stamped the Queen Bee from Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee stamp set in Versa Mark, sprinkled Gold Embossing Powder and heat embossed using a heat tool. I cropped the bee using a die from Queen Bee Dies. I stamped in Mossy Meadow ink the flower spray from Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee stamp set. I used Old Olive and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers to color. I cropped flowers, twigs, sprigs, and leaves from Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home stamp set from Old Olive and Mossy Meadow card stock. I cropped one leaves bunch from Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. I stamped a bee from Stampin’ Up! Honeybee Home stamp set and colored using Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Marker. All of these will be arranged on the card front and inside once the card base is finished.
- Cut 3-1/4″ off the bottom of the card front. From the piece cut off, cut five 1/2″ x 4-1/4″ strips. Cut the strip that is left in half, this gives you two strips that will be used to anchor the other strips together.
- With the sticky side out adhere a piece of Washi Tape to the middle of the card front so you can position the strips on the card front.
- Start at the bottom for the first strip, next place a strip at the top, leaving a space between the strip and the card base. Place a strip in the middle.
- Wait until you have all the strips positioned before pressing down on the tape. If you need to adjust the space between the strips it will be easier to do if they are not stuck tight to the Washi Tape.
- Place a dot of Liquid Glue on each strip and place one of the two strips left over the glue and press down. I waited until I had both strips in place so I could adjust if necessary.
- Turn the over so the Washi Tape is showing and gently remove the tape. Pressing down on each strip as you pull the tape will help prevent tearing the card stock.
- This is how the card front looks after you have finished with all the strips and trimming the excess from the bottom of the card.
I cut a 3-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Daffodil Delight card stock and stamped it in Cajun Craze ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee stamp set. I scored the piece at 4-1/4″ and cut from the score line to the corner, then wrapped the piece around the card front into the inside. This is for a gift card or whatever you choose to place in the pocket.
I cut a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock 3-18″ x 3-7/8″ for a mat for the 2-1/2″ x 3″ Basic White piece. On the Basic White piece, I stamped a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink. These are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then adhered to the card base using the same.
I stamped a strip of Daffodil Delight card stock in Cajun Craze ink using a stamp from Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee stamp set. I adhered the strip to a Medium Basic White envelope and trimmed the excess from the flap.
