I’ve always been a lover of honey. I think it would even so cool to harvest bee hives except I don’t want to get stung. Like evah! So I guess that leaves me to creating Bee Happy Cards for fun.
Bee Happy Card
{this post contains affiliate links referencing products used}
To make this Bee Happy Card, I used my Cricut and the Just Because Cards Cartridge to cut out the honey pot , bee’s and the Bee Happy sentiment. I made the honeycomb’s by welding hexagon shapes together from George and Basic Shapes then welding a smaller hexagon inside.
I embellished the card with some twine, added faux stitching using a white gel pen, then embossed the “Bee Happy” sentiment with a embossing folder. Aren’t those little bee’s soooo cute? I just love them! Bee’s are totally cute until they sting you, then sorry not cute. Splat!
