5- Introducing Honey Bees

May 9, 2008      Nichole Heady      23 Comments

Candices_headshot_2
Candice is currently away in sunny Mexico marrying her soul mate!  But in the months leading up to her wedding, she prepared this bee-autiful stamp set for all of you!  I have always loved that Candice has a way of combining whimsy & elegance all into one amazing package with each and every image. This set is definitely no exception!

Nuggets_cardstock_strip
For my project I decided to combine Candice’s new set with one of my older favorites, Sweet Love.  While playing around I found that the smallest bee in Honey Bees fit together perfectly with the nugget label from Sweet Love.  I searched my entire studio over and realized I had NO labels to stamp on!  So I started experimenting with what I could do differently.  As always, when put in a position to make do, you often make the most fun discoveries!  I cut a strip of white cardstock measuring 1-1/8 inch wide and 5-1/2 inches long.  I stamped the reverse label image from Sweet Love with Summer Sunrise ink.  I then scored a line just above and below the label image, creating a professional looking edge. 

Bee_nugget_wrap
By adding a strip of adhesive down the center back of the cardstock strip, I was easily able to wrap it around a pair of nuggets.  You could also do this with other pairs of candies that have a square shape.

Bee_happy_nugget_ensemble
….
I knew that I wanted to create a whole ensemble around my coordination discoveries, so I paired one of the larger bees from Honey Bees with the reverse oval stamp from Sweet Love.  I punched it out with a Giga scalloped oval punch and scored a line through the middle, being sure to omit the portion with the bee. 

Embossed_dots_closeup
For the cute little 3×4 gift card, I heat embossed Polka Dot Basics onto chocolate cardstock with clear embossing powder, creating an accent strip.  After the accent strip was attached to the card, I scored directly above and below the strip to accent it.  To finish the mini card up, I tied Summer Sunrise satin ribbon around the card and added chocolate brads to the focal point.

Bee_tin_open
The pair of nuggets fit perfectly inside one of our small hinged tins, making a wonderful presentation.  A wrap for the tin was created with scraps leftover from creating the card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project!  Why don’t you play around with using a score line as an accent on a project today.  It is quick & easy and matches anything!

    Love this, Nichole! So funny that you used the embossed lines because I just happened to do that with one of my GSS entries that I already uploaded. Guess I was having ESP. lol Can’t wait to see the other sets and the new colors!

    Would it be possible to grow tea tree for the purpose of producing
    manuka honey and associated teatree products in Ireland bearing in
    mind that the temperatures range from -5 to 25 degrees celcius
    depending on the time of year.
