HI, I just can’t get enough of the Bee Mine Suite and have used a pack of DSP (designer series paper) already. The bright and bold images are great fun and are great for so many occasions. The suite includes a stamp set and punch bundle, 12 x 12 DSP, ribbon, embellishments, and some really cute square pillow boxes.
I have been sharing loads of projects over on my Facebook page and Instagram this week and yesterday I shared a sampler box frame. I thought I would share how I did this on here.
The layout is one I have used before and works well to highlight the range of products in a suite.
Creating your sampler box frame
I always use a basic white layer, measuring 21cm x 21 cm, as a base. This will fit into the older style Ikea Ribba box frame and the new style Sannahed box frame.
Cut your backing layers from a coordinating cardstock, I have used Pool Party. You will need five squares, measuring 6cm x 6cm and two rectangles, measuring 6cm x 12.5cm. The extra 0.5cm is to allow for the gap between the squares.
The Rectangles
Rectangle 1 Trim a piece of basic white cardstock, measuring 5.5cm x 12cm. Stamp several flower stems along the bottom, using Lemon Lime Twist ink. Add stamped flowers to your stems, using Sweet Sorbet ink, and among the stems, using Petal Pink. Onto a scrap of basic white cardstock, stamp your bee using Daffodil Delight and Memento ink. Heat emboss your wings and antenna onto vellum, in black. Punch out your images and adhere your wings and antenna to the reverse or your bee. Stamp the bee trail in Pool Party and adhere your bee at the end, using Stampin’ Dimansionals. Finish with a few Hearts & Flowers embellishments.
Rectangle 2 Trim a different piece of DSP to 5.5cm x 12cm. Fussy cut bees from DSP and adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Remember you can use the edge images and place along the edge.
The Squares
Square 1 Trim a piece of DSP, measuring5.5cm x 5.5cm. Add a bow.
Square 2 Piece of DSP measuring 5.5cm x 5.5cm.
Square 3 Basic white cardstock, measuring 5.5cm x 5.5cm. Stamp the honeycomb image randomly with Daffodil Delight ink and the single heart between with Sweet Sorbet ink. Fussy cut honey pots from DSP and attach with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Square 4 Basic white cardstock, measuring 5.5cm x 5.5cm, add a faint blend of Pool Party ink from the middle. Stamp and punch out a bee and wings, using Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink and Memento ink. Adhere flat and stamp on antenna, I filled in gaps with Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker.
Square 5 Die cut Stylish Shapes Dies circle and stamp your sentiment using Sweet Sorbet Ink. Finish with a heart from the Hearts & Flowers embellishments.
Putting it together
Add to your basic white base, using Stamin’ Dimensionals, as layout. You will leave a 0.5cm gap between each panel.
I do hope you recreate this project with whatever products your wish and would love you to share with me on Facebook, Instagram or message/email me.
