As Sweet As Honey Card
Front: Place your card with the fold on the left and cover with Hopscotch tiny dots paper. Cut the iridescent paper to fit the embossing folder, and emboss with your machine. Sand down the bumpy pattern to reveal a bit of white. Trim the piece to the exact width of the card. Cut 6"x1 1/2" plain white vellum, place the bottom even with the bottom edge of the iridescent piece and fold the ends to the back, securing on the back with Zips™. Glue the whole piece to the card, 1" from the top.
Cut 6" of red dot ribbon. Cut another 7 1/2" of the ribbon and tie a small bow, leaving the knot slightly loose. Thread the first piece of ribbon through this knot, and then tighten the bow, sliding it toward the left side (as shown on card). Use Zips™ to adhere the ribbon across the card, just below the vellum strip, and trim any excess. Place a hanging beehive Dazzles™ on gold metallic paper and cut close around the Dazzles™ edge. Back the leaves with Hopscotch green plaid paper, and glue to the upper right as shown. Back a large bee with gold metallic paper for the body and swirls vellum for the wings. Foam tape the bee’s body on the left as shown. Back a smaller bee the same way, and foam tape to the lower right of the beehive. Back 2 medium flowers with Hopscotch orange grid and red patterned papers, and glue to the upper left corner. Place "As Sweet As Honey" on the right side of the vellum strip. Back 2 small flowers with Hopscotch yellow and red papers, and glue to the upper right of the greeting as shown.
Inside: Glue 5"x1 1/4" Hopscotch blue doodle paper across the top. Glue 5"x1 1/2" tiny dot paper across the bottom. Back a large bee with swirls vellum and gold metallic, and glue to the top right, letting the vellum wings overlap the blue paper a little. Back a beehive with gold metallic paper, and with red, orange and yellow papers for the flowers, and glue 1/2" from the left and 3/4" from the bottom. Back a tiny bee with gold and glue to the upper right of the hive. Place tiny hearts Dazzles as shown.
