We can’t wait to have you around so any time you’re inspired by our challenge, tag us in or use hashtag #stampinfancyfriday. Ok, it’s time! Go follow us on Instagram and Facebook – @stampinfancyfriday. Stay inspired. See you there!
When I saw the Stampin’ Up! Honey Bee Bundle in the 2020 Mini Catalog, I immediately thought of a shaker card. So, when the first challenge announced for the Stampin’ Fancy Friday was Shake It, I knew exactly what set I was going to use.
Don’t you think it is a fabulous option for a shaker card? The shakers represent the honey and do so perfectly!
If you follow me, you know that I love to use an Aqua Painter on 90% of my creations. This Honey Bee shaker card is no exception.
- With a Paper Trimmer, cut a piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11″. Score and fold at 5 1/2″. (this is your card base).
- Cut a piece of Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper to 4 1/4 x 5 1/4″. Adhere to the card base with Snail Adhesive.
- Cut two pieces of Shimmery White Cardstock to 4 x 5 1/4″. Zip one through a die-cutting and embossing machine, two times, cropping out the honeycombs.
- Place the honeycomb die-cuts back in place (as shown) and add the watercolor wash with an Aqua Painter and Crushed Curry Classic Ink. Allow to dry completely.
- Flick ink from a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker onto the card.
- Use a Stamping Sponge wedge to lightly add Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back of the honeycomb die-cuts and the rest of the Shimmery White Cardstock. Adhere to a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Window Sheet.
- Adhere Foam Adhesive Strips around the backside of each honeycomb die-cut. Note: You can easily curve the strips to neatly adhere around the honeycombs. Add Iridescent Sequins. Adhere the 2nd piece of Shimmery White Cardstock to the Foam Adhesive Strips and then to the card with Snail Adhesive.
- Stamp the hive in Daffodil Delight Classic Ink. Use an Aqua Painter to add depth by adding Crushed Curry around the edges and towards the middle. Crop with the coordinating die-cut. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp the three bees in Jet Black Stāzon Ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock. Add Crushed Curry with an Aqua Painter. Crop with the coordinating die-cuts. Adhere with Mini Glue Dots.
- Stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Basic Black Cardstock that has been rubbed with an Embossing Buddy. Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, flick to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool. Trim to size and adhere with Snail Adhesive.
- Adhere black and gold sequins (Peaceful Poppies Sequins) with a Fine-Tip Glue Pen. .
