Welcome to the May 2022 InKing Royalty Blog Hop! This month we are sharing projects that feature birds and bees, not to be confused with “the birds and the bees.” That’s something entirely different. I used 2 sets of stamps (Honeybee Home and Etched in Nature) and 2 sets of dies (Honeybee Blooms & Eden) to create my card for today. The Etched in Nature stamp set is retired, but I accidentally left it with my current stamps, so I used it on today’s card. Oops!

Be sure to hop around to all the stops on the hop, because you don’t want to miss any of the great projects the Royals have made for you today.

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

• Soft Suede card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
• Texture Chic Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″
• Soft Succulent CS layer cut to 2-1/2″ x 2-1/8″
• Petal Pink CS layer cut to 2-3/4″ x 2-3/8″
• Sahara Sand CS layer cut to 3″ x 2-5/8″
• Basic White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base
• DSP strip cut to 4″ x 3/4″

Stamped with the Honeybee Blooms stamp set:

• two bees in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a scrap of Vellum CS, then set the ink with my Heat Tool
• the same two bees in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a scrap of Mango Melody CS
• sentiment in Soft Suede ink onto a scrap of Vellum CS, then set the ink with my Heat Tool

Stamped with the Etched in Nature stamp set:

• bird in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto the Sahara Sand CS layer

Colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers:

• bird image in Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party, Soft Succulent, Daffodil Delight, and Soft Suede

Cut using the Honeybee Blooms Dies:

• the two vellum bees

Cut using the Eden Dies:

• the sentiment
• Since the die is solid, I lined up the sentiment on the back (easy to do with the Vellum) and held it in place with Post-It tape.
• 

Cut using Paper Snips:

• only the bodies of the two Mango Melody bees, no legs or wings
• 

Assembled the card:

• burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
• DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base
• Sahara Sand CS layer glued onto the Petal Pink CS layer
• Petal Pink CS layer glued onto the Soft Succulent CS layer
• Soft Succulent CS layer glued onto the DSP layer
• sentiment glued onto the DSP layer, spreading glue over the entire back of the vellum except at the ends
• Mango Melody bee parts glued onto the backs of the vellum bees
• 
• bees adhered onto the DSP layer using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
• 
• small strip of DSP glued onto the Basic White CS, along the bottom edge
• Basic White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
