Today I am sharing the cards we made in this months classes using the lovely Honey Bee stamp set and Detailed Bee dies. My husband and I kept bees for many years before our hives were decimated by the varroa bug but we are still eating through the honey they gave us.
Each lady coming to class this month was given a 6” by 6” pack of the Golden Honey designer series paper (dsp) to use in class, the remainder they took home to add to their stash. This dsp is one of the choices you can choose for free from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue with a £45 order.
To recreate the Inter-Locking Gate Fold card you will need:
Crushed Curry – 11¾” by 4⅛” scored on the long side at 2⅞” at either end
Whisper White – 5⅝” by 4”
Basic Black – 4” by 2⅝” x 2
Golden Honey dsp – 3⅞” by 2½” x 2
Whisper White – 4” by 1” x 3
Golden Honey dsp – 3⅞” by ⅞” x 3
Scrap Whisper White
This card was inspired by a card made by a fellow demonstrator Wendy Cranford.
The ladies chose 2 patterns of dsp, one for the 2 front panels and 3 for the overlapping straps. They cut their cardstock using a Paper Trimmer.
The dsp panels were adhered to either the two Basic Black panels or the three Whisper White panels using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The larger panels were then adhered with the same glue to the front panels of the card.

They stamped the bee and the flower on on the larger Whisper White panel, adding colour with the dark Daffodil Delight Blends Marker. The panel was then glued inside the card.
The three strips were then added to the cardfront. The top and bottom strip were glued to the left front panel and the middle strip to the right front panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
We used the stamparatus to stamp the bee hive or skep onto scrap Whisper White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, we stamped again using the same ink to get a really black imade. The smaller bee and flower were stamped in the same ink before all three images were die cut.
The hive was attached to the top and bottom strap using a tiny blob of liquid adhesive at the top and bottom of the hive. The bee was glued to the midde strap and the flower added to the side of the hive with liquid adhesive.
To recreate the Trio of Bees card you will need:
Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Crushed Curry – 5” by 3¼” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Golden Honey dsp – 4⅞” by 3⅛” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 4¼” by 2⅞” – Rounded Upper Left corner

The large bee was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink at the top and bottm of the Whisper White panel and the strips coloured in with the dark Daffodil Delight Blends Marker.
The ladies then die cut a large golden bee from the edge of ther 6” panel of dsp – the remaining piece of dsp needed to be 3¾” wide to use on the third card.
The stripes on the golden bee were coloured using the dark Basic Black Blends Marker and the bee added to the middle of the panel on a dimensional. The remaining layers were adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The Golden Honey dsp was glued to the card base with multipurpose liquid adhesive.
The stamparatus was used to stamp the bee hive in Crushed Curry ink onto scrap Whisper White. Three bees were also stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. All the images were then die cut.
The stripes on the bees were coloured with the dark Daffodil Delight Blends Marker and the hive and bees were added to the card front with Dimensionals.
The sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set was stamped in Crushed Curry ink onto scrap Whisper White card stock and punched out using the Classic label Punch. It was added to the card front with glue.
