We are challenged to create a balcony card. A balcony card has two extra “ledges or balconies” inside the card to give a three-dimensional scene.

For this card, a sneak peek of the Bee Mine suite of products in the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini catalog.

12 x 12 dsp here are bees and flowers on Basic Black cardstock with a layer of Basic White with the Sweet Sorbet one-fourth inch Bordered Ribbon across the top with a bow. The honey jars are fussy cut from another sheet of dsp and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensional. Sentiment stamped in Sweet Sorbet from the Bee Mine Valentine Photopolymer stamp set with Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers embellishment.

From the inside, you see the “balconies” and all the jars of honey. The bee is stamped from the stamp set and punched out with the Bee Builder punch. More of the Adhesive-Backed Hearts and Flowers are used in the Petal Pink and Basic White. The sign in the upper right corner is created using the Nested Essential Dies to finish off the card and stamped sentiment in Sweet Sorbet. This is so cute!! Are you excited to see this coming in the spring catalog? Be sure to put it on your wish list!

Here are close-ups of each product.

  • Bee Mine Valentine Photopolymer Stamp Set
  • Bee Builder Punch
  • Square Pillow Boxes
  • Adhesive-Backed Hearts and Flowers
  • Sweet Sorbet 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon
  • Bee Mine 12″ x 12″ DSP

Hope you give this card a try. If you do or have, leave me a comment. Excited! to hear whether you have tried this technique.

Let us head to the next demonstrator to see what has been created.
