Stamp Joy Bees

I was so excited to attend Stamp Joy 2023 this year!  Stamp Joy is a 3 day card making event presented by Taylored Expressions in Des Moines, Iowa.  This was my first year attending an in person stamping event and it has been amazing!

On Friday night, we had a optional card swap event. Everyone that participates brings 25+ cards to exchange in a wonderfully chaotic bubble of craft kindness.  For my card swap card, I created 30 cards with a pair of cute bees from the Taylored Expressions The Birds & The Bees stamp set and dies (retired).


I am excited with the cards that I received in the exchange and can't wait to go through them more thoroughly for inspiration in the coming months!



To create the cards, I used many Taylored Expressions products:
  • The Birds & the Bees stamps and dies (retired)
  • What’s the Buzz stamp set
  • Honeycomb Cluster die
  • Stitched Banner Stacklets
  • Stitched Rectangle Stacklets
  • Petite Scallop Rectangle Stacklets
  • Sugar Cube, Earl Grey, and Lemon Meringue card stock
  • Salt Water Taffy ink
  • TE Fine Detail Embossing Powder - Clear
To finish the cards, I used a couple of non-TE products:
  • Versafine ink
  • Y11, Y13, T2, T4, BG0000, BG000 Copic markers
Have a good day!
