Bee happy shaker card

Happy Monday, Tea Timers!

DT Natalia here - I hope you are having a lovely bank holiday weekend if you are in the UK - and a great start of the week if not!

Today's card features the Bee Hive slimline die and the Bee Happy Clear stamp and coordinating dies.

If you remember, I made another card with the bee hive die a few weeks ago, where I used the negative from the die cut. This time, I decided to use the positive and make a shaker card! If you know me, you know how much I love a shaker - I just think they are so much fun! 

I started off by trimming a panel from yellow cardstock to the size of the slimline die. I then cut the the die from white cardstock to create my front panel. 

I cut some acetate a bit smaller than my card front and adhered them together with some thin double sided tape. Once my window was ready, I used double sided foam tape to build my shaker. This is the best foam roll for shakers, I love that it is narrow and works great for smaller areas. 

I filled in my shaker with some Nuvo sequins which I find very pretty, and then adhered my yellow panel on top to close it off. I used my stamping platform to guide me while putting these two panels together.

My card front was now good to go, and all I had to do was stamp and colour my bees and accessories. Aren't they super cute? I love them! I used a mix of my Spectrum Noir and my Ohuhu to colour the stamped images and then used the coordinating dies to cut them. 

To mount them onto the card front, I used double sided foam tape. Lastly, I added the Bee Happy sentiment, stamped in white on black cardstock and that completed my card!

Hello crafty friends! Silvia's here today.

It's too hot even to ink blending in these days, so I have a very easy peasy card to share with you.

I first cut a 5,5"x 4,25" panel from one of the new "Sweet Summer" paper pad and then I die cut the "Bee Hive Cover Plate" die from white cardstock.

I then stamped images from the "Bee Happy"stamp set, I colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and I cut them with the coordinating dies.

I put everything together, I added one of the cute sentiments from the "Brighter Days Sentiments" and that's all.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and don’t forget you can get a 10% off your Time for Tea order with the code T4TSILVIA10.

Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Silvia.

Thank you Bee

 

Hello everyone! Annalisa here sharing a thank you card featuring the Bee Happy stamp set and the coordinating dies for my DT card. I love how you can create bright and happy cards with this stamp set.

This card fits right in with the August T4T Summer mood board Challenge! Bee (I just had to!) sure to submit your card on the Challenge Blog for your chance to win! For each challenge, we will select a random winner to receive a £25.00 gift certificate to use at T4T! We will also select one winner to Guest Design for us the following month.

To start, I die cut some heavy white card stock with the Dotty Hearts Panel Die. I added this to a card base and set it aside to create the rest of the card.

I die cut a circle from black card stock using the Simple Circle Dies. I then used an older T4T stencil to create a honeycomb background with some Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide. I cut another circle from this cardstock with the same die set. I of course used my Beautiful Rainbow Blender Brushes to apply the Distress Oxide to the card base, they allowed me to get a softer feel on the edges.

I glued both circles to the dotty hearts panel with liquid glue. I then stamped, coloured (with my Copics) and die cut the bee and other elements. I added some highlights to all of the images with my white Gelly Roll Pen.

I used liquid glue to attach all of the elements, except for the bee, instead, I added an action wobbler to the back of the bee. I just love how this made the bee 'buzz' with movement.

For the sentiment, I used the 'thanks' from the "Thanks A Whole Bunch" which is an older T4T stamp set but you could certainly use the Be Kind Be You stamp set. I like using the older stamp and die sets with newer ones to get the most bang out of my supplies! I die cut the sentiment out with the Pandamonium Party coordinating die set.

Just a note to say Hello

 

Happy Friday! Annalisa here sharing a clean and simple card with a couple of happy bees. I love the Bee Happy stamp set so much, and I am so glad it has an updated coordinating die set that also cuts out the sentiments.

To start, I stamped, coloured and die cut the bees and the honey wand. I then die-cut a square base (4.5 x 4.5 inches) and added some Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink using my Beautiful Blender Brush. 

I die-cut some hexagons (using an older T4T die, but you could certainly use the new Bee Hive Slimline Die to create some hexagons), and added some colour with Distress Oxide once again.

I popped up each of the hexagons using varying amounts of foam tape (ranging from a single to triple layer) to create different heights to add interest to the card. I glued down the elements (including a red heart that was die-cut from the coordinating die set) with liquid glue and added white gel pen highlights with my Gelly Roll Pen. Next, I applied some Glossy Accents to the wings, honey pot, heart and honey wand and let it dry.

For the sentiment, I used the 'hello' from the You’re Elephantastic stamp set and did some white heat embossing onto black cardstock, which I cut down to a thin strip. I added some foam tape to this for dimension.

To finish the card, I added the bee scene to some black card stock which I die cut into a 5 x 5-inch card base.
