Honey Bee Stamps | Interactive Wobbler Bee Card. Video + Birthday Bash Blog Hop
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.

April 28, 2017What a delightful card, Yana. I so enjoyed the video tutorial you prepared to share all the techniques and materials you used to make this card. As for your English. . .you speak so well. I wish I could speak another language half so well as you speak English. You inspire me with your creativity and your language skill. Thanks for sharing!

April 28, 2017I love your card,Yana! The action wobbler is so cute and I love how you colored the bees as well as the gorgeous background! I agree that bees can be any color – last month I colored my bee pink and purple! As for your English, it’s perfect! In fact, I was happy to hear you say googly eyes correctly – lately I’ve heard two well-known card makers say it wrong (they said google eyes). Thank you for always inspiring!

April 28, 2017Yana, your English is better than most Americans, with our slang and poor grammar! Sweetie, you have not made a single mistake that I’ve heard, and I try to watch every video you do whether it’s here, @ SSS, or Spellbinders. I always learn something about design, or a time saving technique. I’m going to bet you have done voice or video work in another profession because your videos don’t just look professional, they sound it too. Oh, and super cute card!!!
Kristy
April 29, 2017I like the colors you chose to make a fun card that is a bit more masculine (but could still work for all)!
Bonnie
