The “bee-autiful” thing about creating art from the heart is that whether you’re needing to send “bee-lated” birthday greetings, remind someone to “bee-lieve” in themselves, or simply let someone know you’ll “bee” thinking about them, you’ve not only accomplished your act of kindness through remembering and touching the hearts of friends and loved ones with your creative projects, but you’ve refreshed your soul and refocused your heart as well! Join us in spreading joy and “bee-autiful” creations with the new Sweet as Honey Collection by Heartfelt Creations! “Swarming” with stunning illustrations of whimsical honey bees, charming hives and “bee-autious” garden scenes, this fun and lighthearted collection is ideal for creating projects for a multitude of occasions and is sure to capture the hearts of the young and the young at heart! A bright and happy hued paper collection will fill your soul with rays of warm sunshine yellows, bright sky blues and rich golden honey colors, while boasting captivating honeycomb patterns, happy hexagons, delightful polka dots, perfect plaids and dreamy florals! An assembling of three “bee-coming” cling stamp sets, along with coordinating dies provide endless inspirations with a “bee-autiful” colony of honey bee maidens, whimsical hives and sweet sentiments ideal for pairing with honeycomb die cuts!

Black card, white card, Gold cosmic Twinkles, gold embossing powder,clear embossing powder, black memento ink, Pumpkin liquid pearls, versamark, wet glue, hot glue, double sided tape, foam pads.

Copics:- W00, W1, W3 & W5(skin and honey jar), E000 & V000 (wings), E18 & E37 (honey spoon), Y13, Y32 & Y35 (hair), YR04, YR15, YR16, YR18 & YR18


Score a 14” x 10” piece of white card at 7” and 3 ½” to give you a 7” x 5” card base with a mountain fold.

Cut a black piece of card slightly smaller than 7” x 5” and adhere to the base card. Select papers from the paper pad and cut another slightly smaller rectangle to layer onto the black card. Use a 1 ½” strip of the paper and layer onto a slightly thicker piece of black, then white card and adhere this strip to the base card using foam pads proximately ½” from the front edge of the card.

Die cut the Large Intricate Swirl frame in black card and add the paper to the centre of this using double sided tape. Adhere to the front of the mountain fold on your card and sit it against the strip of card across the front base.

Die cut the centre piece from the Intricate Swirl Frames set and add to the card using foam pads.
 Stamp and colour the Maidens and honey jar. Make two sets of wings and an additional skirt so that you can decoupage these and add dimension. Die cut  and lightly shape the images and add to the card using hot glue.

Stamp in black ink onto the co -ordinating paper and clear heat emboss some Wildwood florals. Stamp another set of florals onto black card with versamark and heat emboss with gold embossing powder, add gold cosmic twinkles to the black flowers using a paint brush. Die cut and shape all the flowers.
Stamp some leaves onto some green paper from the pad, die cut and shape.

Stamp the sentiment in black ink onto white card, and heat emboss using clear embossing powder, cut to size and layer onto black card, a larger piece of co ordinating card stock and a final layer of black card.

Use a hot glue gun to position the sentiment, flowers and leaves around the base of the card. When the glue has cooled add a dot of liquid pearl to the centre of each flower.

Wouldn't it be lovely if bees really did look like this?

Thank you for being here today.
