Build A Birthday Bee - Honey Bee Stamps

Today it's all about building a bee with Honey Bee Stamps.

This is such an adorable stamp set.. and it's huge! So many different options for these little bees, how could I not make this many cards :-) I had made a few cards already using these images you can see them a few weeks back, and in addition I had all these little guys.

  

  

I stamped all the little bees out onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured them using Copic Markers, I then added some Wink Of Stella to the wings.

I don't own the die set for this stamp set so I fussy cut them all by hand using EK Success Cutterbee Scissors. They are pretty rounded and not a lot of intricate details so doing it by hand wasn't as hard as it probably sounds.

  

I used another product from Honey Bee Stamps - Hexagon Bunches, I ran it through my Sizzix Big Shot a couple of times using American Crafts Black Cardstock then again using some yellow cardstock so I could inlay some parts.

  

I used Ranger Ink Marigold Embossing Powder with Ink on 3 Embossing Ink to emboss some sentiments from the Honey Bee Stamps Hooray Stamp Set onto American Crafts Black Cardstock, I then ,melted it using my Heat Tool. (I also did prepare the card using a powder tool to make sure the embossing powder only went where it was supposed to go).

  

I trimmed the sentiments down using my Tim Holtz Guillotine, this is great for small piece cutting (I only own the small guillotine not the bigger size one).

I adhered all the layers to a Couture Creations Card Base using Helmar Acid Free liquid Adhesive.

Finally to finish the cards off I added some Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Drops in Dandelion Yellow and Ebony Black. I left the cards over night to dry so I didn't mess up the drops as I have a habit of doing this lately,.. patience is not my virtue when it comes to things drying on my cards.
