Guest Designer Spotlight: Sweet As Can Bee Cards with June Helsen

Hello everyone, it's June Helsen again with some new cards using the latest release! I'm so happy I was invited as a guest designer for this release, because it has one of my favorite things in it: bees! Well I don't like actual bees, but when it comes to stamps I LOVE them! So that counts.

The first card I created combines the new Sweet As Can Bee stamp set with an older one, Holiday Hugs. It's always so great when you can use your holiday sets year round by making some adjustments, and this one is perfect for that. A bear with a striped scarf? Isn't that the perfect image to use together with these bees and their pot of honey? 

I made a background using the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal and the Diagonal and Straight Stripes stencils. These 2 layer perfectly to create a summery plaid pattern with lots of texture. I framed my scene using the largest of the Fancy Frames Rectangle dies. I tucked the bear and bee trails into the frame, but layered the honey dipper and pot on top so it looks like the bear is coming out of the frame.

I finished my card by adding one of the sentiments from the Sweet As Can Bee stamp set. I always love it when a sentiment has a matching die, so I just had to use the 'Honey Bee'!

My second card is equally as colorful and uses the same bees, this time with a honeycomb instead. I cut a square from the light green woodgrain paper that's in the Amazing Argyle Paper Pack and cut a smaller one from white cardstock, which I blended some green ink on. I also added ink splatters for some more texture. I framed that square using some of the Fancy Frames Square dies, one in brown and one in blush cardstock. I popped the frame up on some foam tape to make it stand out a bit more.

I created a scene with my Sweet As Can Bee stamped images where the bees are flying out of and around the honeycomb. I tucked some flowers around it to add another pop of color to match the frame. To finish my card, I used the same 'Honey' I used before in a different sentiment. 

I love how colorful these 2 cards turned out! I always love a good pop of yellow in a card design, so there might be a reason I always love bee stamps so much! I hope you enjoyed reading about my cards, and I hope you're all enjoying the newly released products equally as much. Bye everyone!
