Global Design Project 231 – Theme Challenge with the Honey Bee Bundle

This week’s Global Design Project is a fun theme challenge. I am combining the new Ornate Garden Specialty DSP with the fun Honey Bee Bundle.

Card Measurements and Supply List for this project are found at the bottom of this blog post.

Start with a Mint Macaron cs card base. I glued a Soft Suede cs panel and a Ornate Garden Specialty DSP panel to the card front. Die cut out a Soft Suede cs frame with the Ornate Layers dies and glue it to the card front. Add Wink of Stella to the flower centers on the DSP for sparkle.

Stamp the hive from the Honey Bee stamp set in Crushed Curry ink on Daffodil Delight cs, die cut it out with the Detailed Bee Dies, and use Stampin’ Dimentionals to add it to the card front overlapping the Soft Suede cs frame and DSP. Die cut a honey comb from Gold Foil and Crushed Curry cs with the Detailed Bee dies. Add the Crushed Curry cs honey comb to the card front overlapping the hive, frame, and DSP. Add the Gold Foil honey comb pieces to the Crushed Curry cs honey comb with glue on the card front.

Die cut a bee from the Gold Foil and Soft Suede cs. Glue the Gold Foil bee to the card front, add the Soft Suede cs bee body pieces to the Gold Foil bee with glue. Stamp the sentiment from the Honey Bee stamp set in Soft Suede ink on Whisper White cs. Fussy cut out the sentiment with Paper Snips and add it to the card front with glue and half of a Stampin’ Dimensional to the card front overlapping the hive and frame.

Don’t forget to add a Whisper White cs inside panel to write your message. I also stamped the sentiment and added a strip of DSP to the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through.
