Buzzy Birthday

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations   #ManicMonday   #saleabration   I don't know what it is, but I'm a sucker for bee stamps and bee designer series paper. (Not so much IRL bees, though.) I was so happy to see the "Honey Bee" stamp set and coordinating Detailed Bee Dies in the January-to-June Mini Catalog. And I was thrilled to see the gorgeous Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper as a FREE item in the Sale-a-Bration catalog!

I have a really quick and easy--and gorgeous--card for your Manic Monday that uses this awesome Specialty DSP! It's quick because the DSP is the star of the show and because you can punch a couple of elements and bee done! (See what I did there?!)

We made this card at the Proverbial Stampers & Friends new catalog gathering. We started by adhering a 2" by 4" striped strip of Golden Honey DSP to a Basic Black Card Stock card base. Next, we adhered a 3" by 4" piece of another sheet of this gorgeous DSP to a 3-1/4" by 4-1/4" Basic Black Card Stock mat. We adhered this piece to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

We stamped the sentiment from the "Sending You Thoughts" stamp set (FREE with a $50 order) in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Whisper White Card Stock and punched it out with the 1-1/2" Circle Punch. We punched a label from Basic Black Card Stock with the Story Label Punch and adhered the stamped circle to it. We adhered the assembled sentiment piece to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. For a finishing touch we added two Gold Faceted Gems to the Basic Black label. So, so cute, don't you think?
