Let me just start by saying – bees don’t have to yellow. Yes, on paper bees can be any color you or me want them to be. Hence a green and a blue bee on my project today.
Okay, let’s start from the beginning. In this blog post and video I’m showing how to create a fun interactive wobbler card using stamps from Honey Bee! Whenever I use a wobbler on my cards my husband wants to keep them (the cards I mean, or even just the interactive part). And since we all know that boys love their toys it might be a great idea to use wobbler to make masculine cards super fun.

CARD DETAILS
I started working on this card by stamping 2 giant bees from the Build A Bee stamp set from Honey Bee stamps. This stamp set is a fun one because it lets you create funny, silly, crazy, adorable or handsome bees. By offering a lot different parts and pieces it covers a lot of different occasions.
I used my mini MISTI stamp positioner and Simon’s Intense Black ink for stamping and later cut images out using coordinating dies in my Platinum machine. For my coloring I used a handful of Copic markers and as always I went with my go to Copic marker color combos.
Colors used:
- B00 and B000 to color wings of my bees;
- C7, C5, C3 and C1 to color gray stripes
- YG99, YG95 and YG93 to color green stripes
- B05, B02 and B00 to color blue stripes.
- R20 to add blush and colorless blender to soften the blush.
I added googly eyes to my bees and used a white pigment pen to add details to their backs.
To create a background I used Nuvo Embellishment Mouse in Aquamarine and ink duster and blended the mouse onto the background. I love the shimmer of the mouse and also how easy it was to apply it onto the paper. To stamp a sentiment I used Versafine Onyx Black ink and stamped We Bee Long Together. I did use a heat tool (I forgot to mention this on video) to dry the ink so that it wouldn’t smear. Sentiment comes from Bee You Tiful stamp set and it really is a must have set. There are a lot of words that you can combine with the word bee or with an image of a bee to create unique sentiments.
I used a tiny wobbler to adhere one of the bees onto my card to make my project a bit more interactive. Lastly, I added strips of patterned paper and some drops using Nuvo Drops in Ivory Seashell and Morning Dew.

The bee looks like its ready to buzz right off the card, wobbling around, such a fun interactive card.
FABULOUS idea to use wobblers! Darling card!
This card is so cute! I always love your cards!
Yes, I do like what I see 😉 I have some of those wobblers and have yet to use them. I think you just inspired me to get those out. I know my grandkids would get a kick out of them.
Love your bees, particularly the blue one. Gorgeous card 🙂

I love hose wobblers
What a cute little “wobbler” bee! Adorable card.
I absolutely love your cards!!! Thanks for sharing!
I love your work! Always look forward to new posts!
Hmm good idea about the wobbler card. I think my son and son-in-law would enjoy those kind, and you’re right bees could be different colors they are so distinctive with the black bands. Love your bee wobbler card!
Love the bees….and the wobble!
I adore this card
I love the colors of the bees. They don’t always have to be yellow do they. And your English is amazing. Don’t change a thing, it gives you character. I love the clean simple designs of your projects and how you plan ahead on printer paper. I have been following you for awhile and you provide me with great inspiration. Keep you the great work. Keep showing how to color with copics close up like you do, it really helps me.
Thanks for a great card and video! I really want to try that Nuevo sparkle mousse as well, hoping you will do a whole video on them in the future (hint hint).
Love the coordinating dies
Oh My Goodness… I absolutely love your card!!! It is so adorable and so fun!!!!
So many cute cards! Thank you for sharing! Happy birthday Honey Bee!
The googlie eyes are the perfect touch. So cute!!
Super cute card Yana. Love the wobble movement. What a great set. I also love Stick with Me.
Such an adorably sweet bee card Yana! Love the wobbler element and those fun little googly eyes!
love the wobble action! So fun!
Your bees are adorable. Your English is improving & you did very well on this video. In past videos, even when something was slightly mispronounced, I’ve always been able to understand what you say. Keep up the great work with your cards and your English!
Gorgeous card Yana! I love your fancy bees, I love seeing the sentiments in real life (and knowing what more of them are, there are so many!) and I loved learning the mousse can be used as just a sparkly background! For some reason I thought it was for stencils! You’ve opened up a whole new world to me! Meanwhile, isn’t this release so fun! And we need to protect and encourage bees so even better.
Yana, your card is so cute! I think I will try a version of it to give my husband for our anniversary.
Between googly eyes and the wobbler you made an adorable card. The mouse did add the right amount of color. Looking forward to your use of the brushes and thoughts on them. Your English is doing fine and don’t be surprised by our differing ways of pronouncing the same thing as we have multiple regions within the states that do that. Hope you continue to love your cardmaking and your English.
Very cute card, thanks for sharing
This is adorable!! What a great idea to make this wobble!!! The google eyes are a fantastic touch!!
Such a fun and clever card! Love it.
Your card is ADORABLE Yana! Thanks for another great video and the inspiration to make a wobble card today! Great Honey Bee release! Loving all their products and this talented blog hop! So fun! Happy Birthday Honey Bee Stamps!
Love your fun interactive bees. So creative.
Thank you for the encouragement to ‘color outside of the box’ so to speak!
This card is going to make your internet friend so HAPPY! Very thoughtful of you to create it for her. It’s super cute! Thanks for the link to your fav Comic colour combinations as well.
