Buzzing Birthday

Aug 28

Hello crafty friends, it’s Summer Hills-Painter here on the blog today. The Bee dies set in the new Bugs and Butterflies collection is so adorable. I could not wait to play with it.

Preparation:

Cut and assemble the bee from the Bee die set. Cut and assemble the cake from the Party Time die set. Cut the honeycomb from Layered Honeybee die set. Cut one rectangle from white cardstock measuring 4 1/4" x 8 1/2". Score at 3" on the long side. Cut another rectangle from white cardstock measuring 3" x 8" and score at 4" . Cut four rectangles from patterned cardstock two measuring 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" , 1 measuring 2 3/4" x 4", and 1 measuring 4" x 5 1/4". Cut the word “birthday” from Shakers die set out of white cardstock cardstock. Cut a spinner from black cardstock from the Tab 6 Planner essentials die set.

Instructions:

Use the honeycomb as a stencil and ink the honeycomb patterned cardstock that measures 2 3/4" x 4"

Poke a hole at approximately 3/8" in and 2" up. Using a brad, adhere the spinner tab to the panel

Using the Bugs and Kisses stamp set, stamp buzzing by to say and the flying trail to one of the 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" stamp sets. For the buzzing by stamp, I cut off the word "Hi" but you can mask it off instead. I also added three dots to denote that the sentiment continues
