One of my favorite products right now is the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper and its FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. I absolutely love it and had to use it for this sketch.

The sketch is another CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge from Splitcoaststampers. These are so much fun to do.

Here’s a closer look at the Designer Series Paper. It’s black and white with gold foil. Some of the dies will cut out the bees in the paper, so cool!

Tips & Instructions

  • Basic Black Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Gold Foil Layer - 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 (I used a piece that I cut out shapes in the center. It’s covered by the next layer so you can save on your gold foil and no one is the wiser)

  • Daffodil Delight Layer - 5 1/4 x 4

  • Golden Honey Designer Series Paper - User a 6” length and then cut 3/4 at the top to 2 3/4 at the bottom. I eyeballed it to get this shape. It will hang over but you will cut the excess.

  • Adhere layers and then adhere the Designer Series Paper diagonally across the card. From the back, cut off the excess.

  • Stamp Sentiment with Black Ink on Whisper White Cardstock and cut with scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and adhere using Dimensionals

  • Cut larger Bee from the Designer Series Paper using coordinating die and fussy cut 2 smaller bees and beehive and adhere as shown on the card

Using Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers, color leaves and flowers and stamp on the inside layer. (NOTE: do not color your markers with Stampin’ Blends as they are alcohol based and will dry out your stamps.)
