“Hello, our creative friends!
What symbolizes summer and warmth for you? For me, it’s sunflowers and bees!
So when Graphic 45 released the Let it Bee collection, I was beyond excited. I immediately thought—this is the ultimate summer collection!
The juicy, vibrant, and oh-so-warm colors, paired with the signature black that Graphic 45 does so well, are simply stunning. The florals, the bees, the honeycomb prints—they’re absolutely captivating and leave you with no choice but to start crafting right away. These papers are not made for storage—they’re made for creating right now.
That’s why I made not just one, but three bright and layered cards! I added touches of gold mirror cardstock like seasoning to a delicious dish, and used white cardstock as a background to make the whole composition shine even more.
Of course, I recorded a video tutorial for you, so you can soak up the same burst of inspiration and sunshine that I felt working with this amazing collection.

· Use Contrast to Make Layers Pop: Anastasiia uses white cardstock backgrounds to make her colorful patterns shine. A simple contrast can go a long way!
· Add a Little Shine: Touches of gold mirror cardstock elevate the design—try it in small amounts to create a luxurious feel without overwhelming your base.
· Splatter Wisely: A few splashes of acrylic paint add movement and texture. Use a fine brush and practice on scrap paper first.
· Precision Matters: Invest in a scoring board and paper trimmer for clean lines and perfect folds—especially helpful when layering multiple papers.
· Let Your Paper Lead the Way: The Let it Bee collection is full of strong imagery and bold prints—let those designs take center stage and simplify your embellishments.
