To Bee Or Not To Bee Blog Hop

Hello, crafty friends! Thi here for a fun blog hop and today I am sharing a BEE-autiful shaker card for World Bee Day and using the adorable Bee Friends stamp set! Pretty Pink Posh is participating today to support bees and raise awareness for the importance of bees. It’s a great cause and we have the perfect stamp set to celebrate these amazing insects!

Pretty Pink Posh: To Bee Or Not To Bee Blog Hop

Let’s start the card making! I first stamped the images from Bee Friends and Spring Wreath with brown ink and colored with Copic markers. I cut these little guys out and set aside to work on my background and shaker elements.

For the front panel, I freehand watercolored some light teal stripes onto watercolor paper and let this dry. After it dried, I die cut a circle and taped acetate to the back of this panel. Next, I used foam tape and built a well for my sequins to go in. For this card, I used Valentine Confetti Mix and filled the entire well. I then backed it with some white card stock. I adhered this panel onto an A2 top-folding card piece and moved on to decorate the front of my card.

I put some foam tape behind the wreath and adhered it over the shaker window. For more dimension, I also put my little bees on with foam tape so it would stand out. Basically, I was trying to make a bee wreath.

For my sentiment, I die cut just “hello” from the Hello Friend Script die three times on white card stock. I glued them together and glued to my card front. I finished this off with two of my little bee images and my card is finished.
