Honey Bee Hello Card

I used the Honey Bee stamp set and Detailed Bee Dies (available together in the Honey Bee Bundle to sale 10%) along with the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper (available free with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration) to create today’s card. You may think it looks a little skinnier than normal. That’s because it is. I intended to have wider bands of Basic Black on each side. I accidentally cut the card base 4″ wide instead of 4-1/4″. Oops! But I already had it mostly finished so I decided to go with it. The instructions below use the 4-1/4″ wide card base.
