Bee Builder Punch by Stampin Up
Create quick and easy handmade cards using the Bee Builder Punch by Stampin Up! The Bee Builder Punch has three shapes: the bee body, wings, and a heart. You can punch out all three in different colors to create a special card front. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the punched images and give your craft more layers and texture!
You can use the small heart as a second pair of wings or use the larger wings as a bigger heart. The bee body can even be turned into a conversation bubble. No matter how you use this punch, your papercrafting projects will have their own buzz around them!
I wanted a soft yet fun color palette for this card and love how these colors all worked together. But if you’d like something brighter, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library – you’re sure to find something to inspire you!
