My Facebook Live this week featured two more cards with my Queen Bee Bundle! I just can’t stop creating with it! Here’s a look at the bundle:
You can watch the replay of the Live here:
I love the colors in the first card – crumb cake, black and a touch of petal pink – so pretty!
My second card featured the Queen Bee and the Dainy Flowers 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. This paper is free with a qualifying product order ($50) during Saleabration! This paper has been super popular with my customers so far this month! It’s so pretty!
I embossed the words from Queen Bee with White Embossing Powder. I don’t do a lot of heat embossing – but after doing this and some other embossing on a couple of my cards from my presentation in Vienna, I have decided to do it more often! Love the look!
Here’s a look at the Designer Series Paper –

I did a Facebook Live yesterday and featured the Nature’s Prints Bundle and the NEW Orchid Oasis In Color. You can find all my facebook live recordings on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page.
This is a quick but fun card to make and wow am I loving that Orchid Oasis color! It’s always fun to switch up a card – and try a different layout at times.
This card goes together quickly – I started with a panel of Orchid Oasis, cut 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. This is my card base.
I cut two pieces of the In Color Designer Series paper to 1 1/2″ x 4″, and placed these on the card front.
Next panel is Orchid Oasis – cut 3″ x 4 3/4″ and scored along the longer side at 1/2″. I folded this and attached is to the card base – centering it. I adhered a piece of DSP measuring 2 3/4″ x 4 to the front of this panel.
The next panel I added was a piece of Basic White measuring 2 7/8″ x 4. I attached this below the Orchid Oasis folded panel. This is where you would add a greeting and sign the card.
For the focal point of my card, I stamped the leafy spray and the words onto Basic White with Orchid Oasis ink and cropped them out with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine. I adhered them to the card front with dimensionals, adding some ribbon and matte dots for embellishment. Such a fun layout – I hope you will give it a try!

I did a Facebook Live yesterday and featured the Kite Delight stamp set. You can find all my facebook live recordings on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page.
I love this card and the creative way to use the Basic Borders die to create clouds! To create this look, I used one panel of Thick Basic White – cut 3″ x 5 1/2″ – and positioned the cloud die slightly left of center. I ran this through my Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine and the end result was two panels with cloud like edges. So cute!
Here is the recording of the Facebook Live: Whether you are watching the replay or the recording via my youtube channel, please leave a comment and subscribe! Your name will be entered for a drawing of the projects I create – winners get a project mailed to them!
I used the wonderful Abstract Beauty Designer Series Specialty Paper Pack for my back ground panel – I love all those colors popping up behind the clouds! I also stamped on the DSP with my words and also for my kite. The kite was easy to snip out with my Paper Snips.
Don’t miss the Abstract Beauty Paper – it’s a pack full of a wide array of patterns and colors with both large and small gold accents. The paper in the pack measures 4″ x 6″ – first time we have had a DSP in that size. The 4″ wide is perfect for card fronts – for my card today I just used my paper trimmer to cut off half an inch from the 6″ length and I had the perfect size for the card front!
I like to switch things up sometimes by stamping on Designer Series Paper – it’s a fun look!
To finish my card, I used the Adhesive Backed Hexagon embellishments to accent the tail of the kite! Love this card and hope you do as well! It just makes me happy – the kite, the clouds and the bright cheerful DSP!

This past week I did a Facebook Live every day to showcase some of my favorite products in our new Annual Catalog- you can find these on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page. On Friday, I featured the brand new Sun Prints Suite Collection!
Here is the recording of the Facebook Live: Whether you are watching the replay or the recording via my youtube channel, please leave a comment and subscribe! Your name will be entered for a drawing of the projects I create – winners get a project mailed to them!
This is such a gorgeous suite of projects – the stamp set/bundle and especially the beautiful Sun Prints Designer Series Paper. I have just used a little bit of the DSP for my label shape – but trust me – it’s beautiful paper!
I used Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis and Gray Granite ink for my card – pulling the colors from the DSP. I stamped onto a panel of Basic White and then ran the panel through my Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine with the new Fern Embossing folder. This added a nice texture to the background.
The large floral image was stamped onto Basic White and then cropped with the coordinating die.
My words are stamped onto Basic White and cropped with a new set of dies – the Stylish Shapes dies – this particular circle has a “punched” edge for a nice, subtle addition.
To finish the card, I added some Iridescent Rhinestones and a bit of the new 1/8″ Metallic Ribbon in Starry Sky.
Such a pretty card!

This past week I did a Facebook Live every day to showcase some of my favorite products in our new Annual Catalog- you can find these on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page. On Thursday, I featured the brand new Sending Smiles Bundle!
This is such a great bundle and the creative possibilities with these products are limitless!
Here is the recording of the Facebook Live: Whether you are watching the replay or the recording via my youtube channel, please leave a comment and subscribe! Your name will be entered for a drawing of the projects I create – winners get a project mailed to them!
My color palette featured the new In Color Sweet Sorbet, along with Pear Pizazz and Daffodil Delight. I used one of the DSP Patterns from the 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper stack – these are new patterns and available not only in the In Colors but all of our Color Families!
The dies in this bundle cut out the word “Sending” – and there are lots of words to complete your thought. For my card I chose “A card to say hello.” There is also a super cute detailed die that crops out a cursive “Sending” that I love. I also used the dies to crop out one of the flowers/stems.
I hope this set has made it onto your wish list! It’s very versatile, and oh so cute!
