Honeybee Home Bundle by Stampin Up
The Honeybee Home Bundle by Stampin Up is one of my favorite stamp set and die combinations, not only because I love bee images, but also because it’s coordinates beautifully with the gorgeous Heart & Home Designer Series Paper! Let me show you how easy it is to make a handmade greeting card that looks like it took hours to make, but actually only takes minutes!

I love, love, love this stamp set! Anything with bees makes me happy, but this stamp set and the pretty Home & Heart Designer Paper just make me swoon! I think the paper is so elegant, yet whimsical, all at the same time! (Not an easy task to accomplish!)
I also love the fonts included in this stamp set. There’s just something about a block font added to a script font that makes me smile. And this stamp set has all sorts of wonderful sentiments in exactly that type of font! You can see more cards I’ve made with this stamp set here.
This card did require the use of the Cut & Emboss Machine, but if you don’t have one, you can always fussy cut everything out by hand and just leave the Pale Papaya mat unembossed. I think it would still look great because the gorgeous designer paper really does the heavy lifting on this card!
This is also a Distinktive stamp set; it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images. It’s another one of the reasons why I love this stamp set so much!
This card does have a lot of steps, so make sure you download the Tutorial below. The Tutorial will have all the products, measurements and some other tips on how to make this card. Enjoy!

7. Layer the Heart & Home paper to the front of the card base.
8. Using the Cut & Emboss Machine and the Gingham Embossing Folder, emboss the Pale Papaya cardstock and adhere to the right side of card base.
