Today I’m sharing an adorable gift box that I created with products from the Bee Mine Suite (the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set, the Bee Builder Punch, the Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon, the Square Pillow Boxes, and the Hearts & Flowers embellishments), a Wobble, and the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder.

Because the suite products are not available for everyone yet, you will not be able to view them in the online store. But I have included the names and order numbers in my Product List at the end of my post so that you can find them come January 4th.

Isn’t this bee adorable!? And he wobbles so it looks like he’s a happy, dancing bee!

Before assembling the pillow box, run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. (FYI…the opening will be on top.)

After assembling, tie on a length of Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon around the middle securing the bow off to the right. Remember…the box opens from the top so the ribbon won’t have to be removed.

Stamp the black stripes & stinger image first onto a scrap of Basic White Thick Cardstock with Tuxedo Black ink. Then stamp the bee body with Daffodil Delight ink and stamp the smiling face with black. (I thought it was easiest to connect the two images by stamping the dark one first.) Stamp the wings two times in Daffodil Delight ink and the antennae once in Tuxedo Black ink on other scrap pieces. Then punch them all out and glue them together to form the bee.

Adhere a Wobble to the box tucked in just above and behind the ribbon (you can see this in the above photo). Then add the bee to the other sticky end of the Wobble. Be sure to move the bee to make sure the Wobble works (and because it’s fun). And finish off with the yellow and red heart embellishments.

It’s a good size box… 4″ x 4″ x 1-3/4″ (10.2 x 10.2 x 4.4 cm) when assembled. Plus the boxes are food safe and stampable.

As I mentioned on Friday’s post…Stampin’ Up! demonstrators get to order early. So the products in this suite aren’t available for everyone quite yet. But I hope you enjoy getting peeks at what will debut on January 4th. This suite will be quite popular I’m sure. It’s perfect for creating Valentines. And so I predict many ordering these items right away.
