Honey Bee Stamps Bee Mine Release Blog Hop (+VIDEO and GIVEAWAY!)

6 Jan

Good morning!  Today I’m excited to be a stop on the hop for the Bee Mine Valentine’s Release from Honey Bee Stamps!  I created an interactive card with a hidden shaker using the clever new Post Box Card Base dies!  You can watch a quick video below or over at my YouTube channel:

This die set is so cute!  I combined it with Love Enclosed to fill it with lots of letters and the Fluttering Hearts Coverplate die to fill it with hearts!  I also added some metallic heart confetti for a little extra shine!

I also left the inside panel blank to add a message to the recipient!

I kept the front simple and traditional like a real post box!  A few dots with nuvo crystal glaze gives it a little shine and foam tape gives it dimension!  I hope this gives you some inspiration for the new release and make sure to check out the full Bee Mine release, it’s fabulous!!

To celebrate the release Honey Bee Stamps is giving away a $25 gift card as a prize to one blog reader selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop so make sure you leave a comment at each hop stop for the most chances to win!  You should have arrived from the Honey Bee Stamps blog and Carol is your next stop!

Thanks so much for visiting and enjoy the hop!!

    OH..MY..WORD! This is the best die set I’ve seen in ages! I can hardly wait to get it. As a lover of snail mail and the old-time mailboxes, I am excited to keep the excitement I felt when I was younger and actually got something in the mail!
