If you’re like me, you know that feeling when a brand you genuinely love becomes one you get to officially share… and that’s exactly what this is.
I’m so excited to say I’m now affiliated with Honey Bee Stamps! 🐝✨
This is a brand I’ve admired for a long time — the layering, the detail, the sentiments… it all just fits the kind of cards I love to make. So being able to properly link you to products I’m using? That feels GOOD.
Products I’m Most Excited to Try
Bee Creative Ink Pad – Alcohol Ink Friendly – Intense Black
If you’ve been around here for a while, you’ll know I am extremely particular about black ink. It has to stamp crisp. It has to give solid coverage. And it absolutely cannot smudge when I go in with alcohol markers.
The Intense Black ink pad is designed specifically to be alcohol marker friendly, which immediately puts it high on my “must test properly” list. There is nothing worse than colouring in a beautifully stamped image and watching the outline bleed. Devastating.
What excites me about this one is that it’s formulated for detail stamping — which means:
- Fine line images should stay sharp
- Sentiments should stamp clean and bold
- Layered images should hold their definition
If this performs the way I’m hoping, it could easily become one of those everyday, lives-on-the-desk ink pads.
Mini Messages – 6×6 Photopolymer Stamp Set
You can never — and I mean never — have too many good sentiments.
The Mini Messages 6×6 stamp set is exactly the kind of set I reach for constantly. Small, versatile phrases that work across birthdays, thank you cards, thinking of you cards… basically all the staples we actually make.
What I love about smaller sentiment sets like this is how flexible they are:
- Perfect for layering over die cuts
- Ideal for adding to sketch-based designs (yes, Sketch Mayhem is already thinking about this 👀)
- Great for building custom sentiment combinations
- Brilliant for finishing off a card that just needs “one more thing”
And because they’re photopolymer, you get that lovely clear stamping experience — especially helpful when lining things up or stacking phrases.
This is one of those sets that won’t sit in a drawer. It’ll live near your stamping platform because you’ll grab it that often.
Lovely Layers: Wildflowers – Honey Cuts Dies
You already know how I feel about layered florals.
The Lovely Layers: Wildflowers dies are the kind of product that instantly elevate a card. With just a few pieces and some simple ink blending, you get dimension, depth, and that beautifully realistic layered look.
What I particularly love about these style of dies:
- They create movement and softness
- You can keep them neutral or go bold with colour
- They work for clean & simple and more detailed designs
- They photograph beautifully (let’s be honest, that matters too 😉)
Layered dies are also fantastic for batch making because once you’ve cut a few sets, you can mix and match pieces, switch colours, and build completely different looks from the same base.
These absolutely feel like they’ll become a go-to element in my floral stash.
Bee Creative Stamping Pressure Tool
Let’s talk tools. Because tools that make crafting easier? I am always interested.
The Bee Creative Stamping Pressure Tool is designed to help you get consistent, even impressions — especially useful for:
- Large solid stamps
- Layered stamp sets
- Background stamps
- Stamping over textured cardstock
If you’ve ever had that moment where one corner didn’t stamp properly and you had to line it up again praying it lands in exactly the same place… you’ll understand why this matters.
Anything that reduces frustration and increases consistency is a win in my book. Especially when creating content or batch making, where time and repeatability are everything.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how this compares to other tools in my craft room.
