On Saturday I got a peek at some of the new products from the upcoming new catalogues. OnStage is always a lot of fun! As a demonstrator you get to see some of the new products, you get to see project demonstrations AND you get to do some crafting. With this being a virtual event we were given the chance to order the Bee Mine suite in advance. That way we could craft along on Saturday. Now usually I don’t order an entire suite, I prefer to pick and choose from different suites of products. But I love this suite so much that I couldn’t not.
Shannon West shared two cards for us to craft at OnStage and walked us through them step by step. The first card uses Daffodil Delight for the card base with another piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock that I stamped using Daffodil Delight ink. Then we layered on a couple of the different designs from the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper pack on top. And of course we added a bee using the Bee builder punch. To finish it off I decided to add one of the adhesive back flowers that also comes with this suite.
Then for the second card we used a Basic White card base. This worked really well to show off two different designs from the DSP pack. And we did a little more tone on tone stamping with Pool Party to create a flight path for our bee. My favourite thing about this card was the watercolouring we did on the bee’s wings. It really gives a nice effect! I’m going to have to remember this when I get back to using this suite again in a few weeks.
I hope you love these cute cards using the Bee Mine suite as much as I do! I can’t wait to get to some of the other products that come with this suite… we didn’t even use the Sweet Sorbet ribbon or the square pillow boxes.
