Welcome to InKing Royalty’s May Blog Hop! Spring is just around the corner, so we are sharing Spring projects with bees and birds. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
First, could not decide if I wanted to do birds or bees and then once I decided I could not choose between the Hello Ladybug and the Honeybee Home bundles, so I decided to post them both.
For my first card, I simply turned this cute little Ladybug into a bumblebee. Unfortunately the Bumblebee cardstock and ink is retired, so I went with So Saffron. I added a panel of black that I embossed with the Hammered Metal embossing folder, yes, I know it too is retired, but you can use the new Hive 3-D embossing folder, I just have not received mine yet!
This card is pretty basic and easy to assemble. After you fold the card base in half cut off 1¼ from the card front to create the folded front image. I added some Daffodil Delight CS strips on the ladybug to create stripes and used vellum cardstock for the bee wings, then embellished it with a Matte Black Dot. I hope you enjoy creating with this adorable bundle.

My second card again began with a Basic White card base, but this time I added a piece of Daffodil Delight to the bottom and a strip of Basic Black across the middle to hide the seam. I was not sure how the black floral would like, but I love this bundle and decided to go for it. And, I kind of like it. Of course the bees are adorable, especially since they are not real. I added color to the bees using Daffodil Delight ink and a Blender Pen.
I do love this sentiment because it will be perfect to send to my mother-in-law. She continues to enjoy my card creations and may be my biggest fan! LOL

I love both of your cards! The color combo and design for both is divine!
Thanks Sheryl!
Such incredible cards, Renae! Your bees are spectacular – I love that you showcased the same color schemes but a variety of bees. So happy you hopped with us today! ♥
Thanks so much…and thanks for organizing! Always such great fun!
Thanks my friend, looking forward to the next Hop!
I really enjoyed the difference between the two cards. The first was fun and buzzy. The second is very elegant. Both are easy and fun to do. Good job!
Thanks so much!
I love how you made the bees on the first card, and how the second card looks like a bee!
Thanks Candy!
Love the winding path you made and the textured cardstock. For some reason, I forget to use those!
Thanks….
I absolutely LOVE the 2nd card. I can feel the meadow with the bees buzzing.
Thanks Ann!
Both of your cards are amazing! Those little punched bumble bees are just too cute. I love the way you carried the flowers onto the bottom white layer!
Thank you…..cute is in the air!

Love your cards!
Thanks Sue. Have a great rest of the week.
