Honey Bee Hexagon Shaker Christmas Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Are you all ready for Christmas!? Can't BEE-lieve it is only a little of a week away 😬 How has this year just flown by... Haha, sorry I can't help myself with the Bee Punnies, lol! Well, today I wanted to take this opportunity as one of the Honey Bees and wish you all a very Merry and Bright Christmas as this will be my last Christmas Card for the year.

  CARD DETAILS

To begin this card, I stamped out the MERRY LIGHTS Stamp onto vellum paper and using Versafine Onyx Ink and then heat set the ink using black embossing powder. On the underside of the vellum, I used 3 Copic markers to color glow around each light. Next, I die cut the panel for the shaker portion of the card using the third largest Hexagon from the HEXAGON SOLID STACK CUTS. I then blended out the panel using 3 colors of distress oxide ink (see links below).

Now as you all know I am a little obsessed with making Frameless Shaker Cards and today I wanted to show you that it is possible to make these shakers any shape only this time I used vellum. I cut the stamped vellum piece a little larger than the hexagon panel that I had blended out. I then cut each corner off of the vellum hexagon piece and flipped back the vellum flaps to secure it to the back of the hexagon panel using Scor-tape. Before closing up the shaker pocket I filled it with BOKEH LIGHTS Confetti. To finish and embellish the shaker pocket, I added coordinating Crystal Drops to each Christmas Light bulb and set it off to dry. (If you want to learn more about making frameless shakers click HERE.)

To continue the Honey Bee theme, I stamped out the cute little bees from BEE HIVE, colored them with Copics and then cut them out with the Coordinating BEE HIVE DIES. To each little bee, I added glossy accents to the body and Liquid Pixie Dust to the wings.

To make the Card Base I die cut the largest Hexagon from the HEXAGON SOLID STACK CUTS and then created a hinge to glue the two pieces together. I also die cut a pink and yellow Hexagon in decreasing size to layer on the card front.

On the inside, I stamped out Christmas Wishes by using both the BELIEVE BUZZ WORD and the WINTER stamp sets. I then added another little bee and trail from the BEE HIVE to finish off this cute little Bee themed Christmas Shaker Card.

I hope this Honey Bee Hexagon Shaker Christmas Card has inspired you today. 

Thank you all for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
