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.

Okay, now I NEED some action wobblers in my stash! I love this card so much! How cute!!!
I love that you added he big googly eyes. It gave the bees a lot of character. Fantastic card
Super cute card! I love unexpected things on a card so your green and blue wobbly bees have my heart!
Yana this wiggly bee is a must for my little grandson to get in the mail! Your imagination just keeps kicking out all kinds of really great card ideas. AND so diversified! Love them all!
Very cute and sweet card. Love the wobbler action.
happy bee day what a cute card simple and fun love it
I love wooble cards. They are so much fun!
Such a wonderful idea to use the action wobbler on the bee!!!! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration!
That is so cute! Love the interactive feature!
I love the wobbler! I have just received a small shipment of these and can’t wait to use them. I think I’m going to pair them with the bees I just ordered from Honey Bee. Thank you for sharing this beautiful card!
So very sweet, love you cards, coloring! Thanks, Denise
the wobbles added a lot to this cute little stamp set. I forget to use them so thank you for reminding me of using them to add a whole new dimension to my cards.
Love the action wobbler element! And i agree- in our creative life, bees can be any color we want! :)))
BEE-youtiful card!
Yana, I just love your cards and this one is so cute!
cute bees!
I like the colors you chose for your cute and awesome card.
Thanks for the video. I liked the fact that you made the bees in non-traditional colors. I enjoy your videos and your inspiration. I hope you have a good time meeting your friend for the first time.
Very cute card! Love those bees! I love that you colored them different colors than traditional bees, really fun twist!
Your ‘wobble’ bees are sheer delight, especially with their googly eyes (I’m relieved to know I wasn’t the only one who didn’t realize they were self-adhesive! Whew!). I bet your husband had fun with the wobbling action; hopefully, you’ll create one for him so he doesn’t feel left out! Your crafting friend will adore this, as do I, especially with the eye-catching palette you selected! As for your English…oh my, Yana, I could listen to you for hours (sometimes I do when I’ve fallen behind with your videos). Your pronunciations are spot-on! Indeed, you pronounce Tsukineko far better than I’ll ever do…and I speak Canadian *grin* Thank you for the amazing video…and the ‘enabling’!
