So Glad We’re Family

The Honeybee Home Bundle and the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper work so beautifully together.  So today I decided to showcase just how well they do work together.      

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Basic Gray cardstock that is cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a piece of the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper that features the look of white washed wood (I love it) that measured 4 1/8 x 5 3/8”.  I then took another piece of the Designer Series Paper (this time a blue and white tile looking design and I cut it to 3 ½ x 5”, because I wanted to pop this layer up with Dimensional and I knew I was going to be layering more I decided to reenforce it using a piece of Basic White cardstock behind it that measured the same.  Once I had them cut and adhered to one another I popped that layer up on the card using Dimensionals.  Next, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 3 x 4 ½” and I embossed it using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder.  This was added to the center of the card, once again using Dimensionals.

Now it was time to get busy making my embellishment items.  I die cut the grass from Garden Green cardstock and flowers from Fresh Freesia cardstock using the dies in the bundle.  I stamped the bee and the flowers from the stamp set in the bundle onto some scrap pieces of Basic White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and die cut them using the coordinating dies from the bundle.  I colored them in using the Stampin’ Blends listed below.  For my bee I added some Wink of Stella to his wings (can’t really see it in pics).  I stamped my sentiment “so glad we’re family” onto a scrap of Basic White using Misty Moonlight ink and I fussy cut around the words.  So, it was time to attach all the pieces.  The flowers and grass were attached directly to the embossed layer.  The larger flowers, the bee and the sentiment were all attached using Dimensionals.  For the final addition I created a double bow using the Denim 3/8” Ribbon and added it to the card with a Mini Glue Dot. 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and much more on my website at https://craftwithronnie.stampinup.net or by click the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.
