Card base is Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock [159229] cut at 4-1/4 x 11 and scored at 5-1/2.
Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276] is cut 2-1/2 x 4 and textured with the Splatters 3D Embossing Folder and 2-1/2" strip for stamping and cutting the leaf.
Granny Apple Green Stampin' Pad [147095] is cut 3 x 4-1/2.
You will need about a 3 x 3 piece of Real Red 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [102482] to die-cut the circle.

DIY Home Decór with Paper Crafting

Honeybee-Home-tag-card-1This may look like a really pretty springtime card made with paper crafting supplies but how about using part of it as an element of a DIY home decór project?

In last week's YouTube Premiere, this was one of our projects featured as a card and then as an element on the popular tiered trays that are so trendy right now.

In the YouTube video, you will see the how-to for this card and then how it's used on a tiered tray with some other elements created with Stampin' Up! supplies.  Let's take a look!

Details for the Honeybee Home Card:

Honeybee-Home-card-tagNow, if you watched the video above through the end, you saw how the tag element from the card above was used.  These tiered trays are so much fun to style and can be changed out for any and every occasion.

Honeybee-Home-Tiered-TrayIt was so much fun putting this piece together.  Keep an eye out for elements that you can use for whatever them you wish.  Notice the banner created with the Playful Alphabet Dies that are on the Last Chance List and will not be available much longer.  These alpha dies are just the right size for projects like this one and for card fronts.  These are a steal for the discounted price of $27.20!
