Honey Bee Spring Scene | Pop-Up Shadow Box Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and Happy Monday!

Today I have a Spring-inspired Pop-Up Shadow Box Card mixing and matching a bunch of Honey Bee Stamp products that I am also sharing over on the Honey Bee Stamps Blog. If you are a Jennifer McGuire fan, you may have seen her share how to create these amazing pop-up cards on a recent tutorial of hers. So, of course, I was dying to try this card technique out!

CARD DETAILS

I began this card by cutting out the top and bottom panels at 6 1/4" x 5 1/2".  To create the pop-up mechanism you will need to score both panels, on each side at 1/2" and at the 1" mark. Then fold the pieces in to create a zig-zag fold on each side on the panels. 

To the top panel, I die cut a hexagon window. I also die cut the same window using the same hexagon die onto a piece of blue cardstock that I had previously die cut using the Scalloped Frame die.

To add another layer of dimension I used the next smaller Stacked Hexagon die to die cut another window to add beneath the card front. 

Now that all the pieces for the card were made I then set them aside to plan out the scene.

I began by creating a background for the card. On a piece of Bristol paper, I blended out some clouds using the Outdoor Scene Builder Stencils. 

Next, I stamped out all the images I was planning on using on to Neenah cardstock and colored them in using Copic Markers. I then die cut each image using their coordinating dies. 

Below is a list of the stamps and coordinating dies I used.

Bee and Hive - Bee Hive Stamp Set | Bee Hive Honey Cuts

Flowers and Hearts - Busy Bee Stamp Set | Busy Bee Honey Cuts

Shamrock - Mae the Mouse Stamp Set | Mae the Mouse Honey Cuts

To the back piece of the card that I had initially scored, I glued down the background cloud piece. Next, I glued the hive down by popping it up with foam tape. I also added the floating bees by gluing them to thin strips of acetate and attaching them to the side flaps on the bottom panel. 

To the top piece, I began by gluing the top blue scalloped piece to the card front. I then attached the smaller hexagon panel to the inside of the card using foam tape. Before gluing down the colored images, I die cut a grass border piece colored it with Copics and glued it along the bottom of the hexagon to build the scene from. Once I was happy with the arrangement of the flowers I glued them in place. To finish the card, I added glue to the side zigzag tabs and adhered them together. 

The card when finished will measure 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ when flattened and will fit nicely into an envelope.

Here is a top view of the card as it stands up without any problems. Check out all those layers of dimension!

For sparkle, I added some Liquid Pixie Dust and a layer of glossy accents. The sentiment was created by stamping out the just from the Hi Honey stamp set and then I pieced together the Beecause from the Hi Honey Cuts set.

Chin Up Buttercup Bunny | No Line Coloring | Encouragement Card

Yay it's Friday!!! 

So if you are feeling down like my little Bunny Buttercup here, it's time you cheered up 😊cause it's the weekend Baby!

To create this card:

• Began by stamping out the Bunny from the Blah Humbunny set using Fadeout Ink. 
• I stamped and cut out a mask to cover the bunny up so that I could stamp the flowers from the Chin Up Buttercup set out to build my scene. 
• I then colored the images in using Copic markers and added detail using a coordinating prismacolor pencil. (Copics Used: Colorless Blender, RV10, Y02, Y08, Y17, YG17, B00, YG67, N0, N2, N4, N6, N8)
• Once my scene was colored, I die cut the panel using the second largest frame from the Scallop A2 Frame dies.  
• Next, I stamped the Chin Up on the top right hand side of the scalloped frame using Blackout Ink, and also stamped out Buttercup onto a another piece of paper so that I could die cut it out using the coordinating Buttercup die.
• I also stamped out the little buzzing bee friend from the Bee Hive set, no line colored it and die cut it using the coordinating Bee Hive Dies.
• Now that all the pieces were cut and colored I assembled the card, popping up the little bee and the Buttercup sentiment with foam tape and then attaching the scalloped panel to a bright yellow piece of cardstock cut to 4.25 by 5.5 inches, which was then mounted onto an A2 size card base.
• I then added some Summer Sun confetti around the Buttercup greeting in the front panel and added some white detailing with a gel pen.

 

• To the inside of the card I used a couple of stamps from the With Sympathy stamp set to stamp out the encouragement greeting. 

Hope you think of this Chin Up Buttercup Bunny card the next time you need an idea to brighten someone's day! For more inspiration using Honey Bee goodies check out the HB Blog!
