Today is our showcase of Pop-Up Bee! Share a sweet surprise with your loved ones using this set of dies! This set comes with everything you need to create a bee with a cool dimensional effect when your card is opened. This easy-to-use die is perfect for creating cards with extra ‘wow’ factor.

Oh how I love this bee! On my card today, I’m using the Pop Up Bee without the pop up feature. It makes such a great element for the front of a card.

This card is pretty simple but oh so cute! I used vellum and white cardstock for the wings of the bee and added sparkle glaze over the vellum for sparkle.

The background I created with Mermaid cardstock and a bunch of clouds from the All The Clouds stamp set. Then added a panel created with the Foursquare Backdrop and popped it up with foam tape.

For the sentiment, I die cut the letters to spell out the word HONEY using Cole’s ABC’s and Sunflower cardstock. I stacked the letters for dimension but on the top layer I first ink blended No. 2 Pencil ink.

Then after I lined the sentiment up on the front of the card and adhered it down, I went over the letters using Sparkle Glaze. Doesn’t it look like real honey?! So cool!

I’ll get this in a video when the release goes LIVE.

After the sparkle glaze was dry, I added a smaller sentiment over the top from the Hive Five stamp set. I heat embossed it in Gold embossing powder and trimmed it down super skinny.
