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.
