Hello, and welcome to a special blog hop with some of our NC Demo regulars! You may have come here from Kristine Vincente’s blog and her card was so cute! A few of us did a small card swap a few weeks ago using a new suite of products called Bee Mine (162560), which will be coming out in the 2024 Jan – Apr Mini Catalog. Since we already had our cards made from our swap, it was suggested we turn it into a blog hop, which was a great idea!
This is my card from the swap. I love gatefold cards. There’s just something about them that I’m drawn to. I think my Christmas card this year will be a gatefold if I ever get them started!!
This exciting new Suite is packed with goodies! It includes a stamp set, coordinating punch, Designer Series Paper, ribbon, embellishments, and square pillow boxes. Wow, that’s a lot! When a new catalog comes out, I always make sure to get a suite or two of products. It ensures that I have everything I need for perfectly coordinated projects. But don’t worry, you can also purchase the items separately if you prefer.
Since these products are currently only available to Demonstrators, I can’t provide a full supply list for this project. However, I’ve included a list of the Bee Mine products below so you can add them to your wishlist. Once these products are available to everyone on January 4th, I’ll be able to create a tutorial too. Stay tuned for more inspiration!
Here are the measurements to make this card.
- Thick Basic White Card Base – 8 ½” x 5 ½”, score at 2 1/8” and 6 3/8”
- Belly Band – 9 ½” x 1 ¼”
- Belly Band DSP – 9 ¼” x 1”
- Ribbon for Belly Band – 9”
- DSP Panels for card front – 5 ¼” x 1 ¾”
- Decorative Circle Punch – 3″ x 3″
- Basic White for Bee, antennae, and wings – 4″ x 2 1/2″
This is the inside of the card and the card with a matching envelope
Please continue through the rest of the blogs to see how everyone else used this suite of products. I always love to see how we each have a different take on the challenge 🙂 France’s Wagner’s blog is up next!

Toni, I love your card. I especially like special fold cards. Thanks for sharing.
Great card Toni. I love the belly band. Gate folds are special!
Toni, I love gate fold cards, too and this one is extra special. I love how you used the DSP and the belly band is adora-bee-le. Thank you for sharing!
