Release Day Blog Hop ~ Bee Happy ~ The Greeting Farm

The April 2025 New Release is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced 3 new stamp sets. Our first set called BOBA PANDAS features 4 adorable Pandas enjoying the outdoors with their favorite Boba tea. Next, our favorite girl has resumed her travels and this month we have ANYA IN INDIA. Lastly, we showcased the cutest, chubbiest bees in a set called BEE HAPPY. 

I couldn't BEE more happy than to share another card featuring the absolutely adorable bees and flowers from Bee Happy! I just adore these cuties! I stamped the flowers and bees on white card stock and colored them up with Copic markers. I fussy cut them leaving a white border around the edge - just like a die cut would. I adhered the flowers to the hexagon layer and popped up the bees with a little foam tape. And then I stamped the little bees swirly line directly on the pattern paper.

The yellow gingham pattern paper is die cut with a hexagon scalloped die. I covered an A2 card base with the black and white pattern paper from the same pack. The sentiment was stamped, trimmed and adhered to the hexagon. And then I popped up the hexagon focal piece and the sentiment onto the card with lots of foam tape.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Bees: C00, C2, C4, C9, Y11, Y15

Flowers: BG10, BG01, BG15, Y15

Leaves: YG11, G02

Bee Happy ~ Preview Day 3 ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's the final day of previews at The Greeting Farm for the April release! Introducing Bee Happy... oh. my. cuteness! These bees and all the pretty flowers are just too darn cute.

I stamped the bees and flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them up with Copic markers. I fussy cut each of the images leaving a white border - almost like they were die cut.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Bees: Y11, Y15, YR23, N0, N2, N4, BG10, BG01, BG15

Pink Flowers: RV10, RV02, RV04

Blue Flowers: BG10, BG01, BG15, Y11, Y15

Stems / Leaves: YG11, G94, G99

I paired up these sweet bees and flowers with the Simple Vintage Lemon Twist 6x8 paper pad from Simple Stories. This is a 6-1/2 x 7" mini slimline card base, scored at 3-1/2". My paper layers are: black with polka dots - 6-1/2 x 3-1/2"; Yellow distressed - 6-5/16 x 3-5/16" ; and the die cut is 6-3/16 x 3-3/16" approximately.

The white panel is die cut with the largest die from the X Stitched Mini Slimline Die from Gina Marie Designs. I popped up the white panel with foam tape avoiding the negative hexagon space. The hexagons are all cut using the Hexagon Frames Die Set from Newton's Nook Designs. The two on the right side are die cut from the white panel giving me the negative space to build around. The larger hexagon on the left is die cut from the pretty papers and it's popped up with foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment directly on the white panel. All of the adorable bees are popped up on the card with foam tape. Too fun! The release goes live in the store on the 15th at 12am EST! Woohoo! Bee sure to come back tomorrow for the release Blog Hop!! One lucky winner will receive a $50 gift card to The Greeting Farm. All you have to do is comment on the hop! Yay!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
