Good morning! Today I’m excited to be a stop on the hop for the 5th Anniversary Release from Honey Bee Stamps! I decided to play with the fun new Barn Scene Builder dies to create my happy scene!
To start I die-cut all the elements of the barn using colored cardstocks. Then I added a little shading by blending distress oxide inks over the edges! I used Fired Brick, Aged Mahogany, and Ground Espresso on the barn; Pumice Stone on the white trim; Black Soot on the Windmill (along with a matte silver cardstock for the blades); Tea Dye, Scattered Straw, and Mustard Seed on the bales of hay; and Frayed Burlap on the fence. Then I adhered the barn together using a mix of regular adhesive and foam mounting tape and tied a little twine around each bale of hay.
Then I created my background by blending Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn distress oxide ink onto the bottom of a piece of strathmore bristol cardstock. Next I placed the cloud stencil from the Outdoor Scene Builder stencil set on my panel and blended the cloudy sky using Tumbled Glass, Broken China, and Salty Ocean distress oxide inks. I let the ink dry and then built my scene by adding all the different die-cut elements with a mixture of regular adhesive and foam mounting tape. Finally I added the sentiment ad the copic-colored chicks from Way to Goat to finish the card and my cheerful scene!
I hope this gives you some inspiration for the new unbeelievable release and make sure to check out the full Anniversary release, you’re going to love it!!

Jess, your barn scene is adorable with the hay bales and little chicks. Love all the added details, too.
Super cute card! I just saw a family of fluffy, yellow goslings earlier today. Your card made me think of them again. 🙂
I love this barn! So cute, with all the different animals and elements. Such a great set for kids too! I am making a ton of kids cards right now with COVID-19. I think smaller kids have a harder time, having no one to play with than Adults that can understand more. So I have been sending cards out to my nieces and nephews and all my children friends, which adds up to a lot! And realizing I don’t really have that much kid friendly supplies. I love this barn! And all the add ons! Would make some amazing cards. You have sold me on this set!
