These little bees are so cute, and I love how Tammy placed them in a pretty Big Blossom Backdrop: Portrait scene! The little bee holding the honey dipper is so adorable.

Yainea stenciled with Bee Happy Background Stencils and it’s just so perfect with the cute beehive and bees from Build-A-Bee!

Elise combined the cute bees and beehives from Build-A-Bee to create sweet, shaped cards or tags! She used vellum for the bees’ wings then she white embossed sentiments from Jam and Honey Sentiments.

I love Latisha‘s Cloudy Stencil inked background! Her card is so cute featuring Build-A-Bee with the smiling bee, beehive and pretty flowers!

Grace combined a trio of Build-A-Bee cuties and the beehive on a Tree Branches Backdrop: Landscape. That green Giddy for Gingham background is so pretty with the lavender flowers!

Megan used Big Blossom Backdrop: Portrait with Honeycomb Stencil to create the sweetest Build-A-Bee card! The fun message from Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Honey Bee is so perfect too!

The Bee Happy Background Stencils make a perfect backdrop for all the cuteness that is Build-A-Bee! Mindy included Scripty Smile to go with the smiling bee!

Audrey‘s Build-A-Bee card is so much fun! I love how she inked the background a honey-gold color to coordinate with the bee theme! She added a sentiment from Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Honey Bee, pairing it with Scripty Smile and Scripty Smile Outline Add-On.

Caly used a panel of vellum to soften the Bee Happy Background letting the trio of Build-A-Bee honeybees take center stage! I love how the bees are all holding either a flower or a heart, so sweet!
