I hope this close look at this large Honey Bee Stamps release is helpful to you! I do these videos so you can see what the products look like in “real size”… and also to share ideas on how to use them. You can see the whole Honey Bee release HERE at Simon Says Stamp or HERE at Honey Bee Stamps. All of the individual products are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this post.

At the end of the video, I also share two shaped card examples using some Honey Bee products (SSS | HB). Be sure to check out the video to see how they were assembled.

My first card features the Honey Bee Mason Jar Card Dies (SSS | HB). I created the jar with Hero Arts Acetate Sheets and a silver cardstock lid. The stamps are from the Honey Bee Hi Honey Stamp Set (SSS | HB) and Honey Bee Bee Hive Stamp Set (SSS | HB).

When you open the card, you can see a gift card holder made with the Honey Bee Gift Card Pocket Die (SSS | HB).

I am a big fan of clear cards… and this one is especially fun!

My second card features the Honey Bee Frappe Shake Card Dies (SSS | HB). I had such fun assembling this. On the front I stamped a greeting from the Honey Bee Shake It Off Stamp Set (SSS | HB).

  1. Hi Jennifer,
    My favorite is the buttercup stamp set. I love the flowers, the way they are shaped and the size. Always looking for cute flower stamps.

  2. My favorite new product is the sentiment banner die set. Great idea, with lots of potential. I also like all of Honey Bee’s “layered” sentiment sets. Thank you.

  3. Thank you for the review and for creating some absolutely delightful gift card holders. My favourite: the Teacher sets. As a recently retired high school English teacher in Canada (had to leave the profession…it’s a challenging one, indeed), I deeply appreciate how much YOU appreciate teachers. So grateful…

  4. My favorite is the card that looks like a Ball jar! It takes me back to when my parents used to can vegetables in those glass jars. We must have had 100 of them. And it was so awesome to eat veggies from my Dad’s garden in the w8ntertime! Thank you for sharing!

  5. Hi Jennifer, AWESOME card ideas, I am ALWAYS looking for ideas for my gift cards that I give, LOVE these!!
