There is so much “buzz” about the Stampin’ Up! Queen Bee bundle. It’s a little bit vintage, a little bit modern and a whole LOT of fun! Today’s fancy fold happy card uses oodles of the Queen Bee bundle products.
AVAILABILITY UPDATE! The Queen Bee Bundle is currently unavailable and cannot be added to an order. It is expected to be back in stock the week of March 13! You can check inventory status on all products via this link here.
WHAT I LOVE! Check out the coordinating vellum wings created with the Queen Bee die. Looks like she’s going to take off!
