This is Day Two of the BEE BOLD Summer Release Sneak Peeks for Honey Bee Stamps. Be sure to visit the Honey Bee Stamp Blog to see what the other DT members have created.

Today I used four new sets from the release. This project is simple and perfect for any occasion that you want to celebrate with a banner.  It would also be perfect as individual toppers for cupcakes.

I started with the Stacking Banners Die Set. The set has 12 dies allowing for multiple size banners and endless layering. I used two of the medium sizes and cut multiple pieces using Simon Says Stamp Cotton Candy Cardstock and #110 Neenah Solar Crest Cardstock. I also cut individual letters, using the Bee Bold Alphabet Die Set, and punctuation, using the Bee Bold Numeric Die Set, out of the pink cardstock.

I used the Bitty Patterns Stamp Set to stamp a dotted pattern onto the white pieces, using Hero Arts Bubble Gum Ink. I found it easiest to use my MISTI. Line up a negative piece from one of the cutouts, place the banner piece into the opening, line up the stamp, and stamp. Take that piece out, put another blank in, and continue stamping. To stamp the lower half of the banner, place it back into the opening, line up the stamp again, and repeat the process. Assembly line work makes it goof proof and speedy.

I stamped the plaid pattern, also from the Bitty Patterns Stamp Set, onto the letters using the Bubble Gum Ink. 

At this point I decided that I wanted to add another layer so I cut another set of banners from white cardstock. I edged them with the Bubble Gum Ink to match.

The banners were assembled using a Kokuyo Tape Runner. The letters were placed on top using a Lawn Fawn Glue Tube. I didn’t add dimension to the layers so that it will be easier to punch holes to string the banner.

These banners would be perfect for any occasion or holiday. They would also be cute hung in a child’s room. You could even add family pictures to each banner. Just use your imagination!!
