Hello, crafty friends! š This sweet little bee is all smiles and ready to brighten someoneās special day. I had so much fun making this card using the adorableĀ Meant to BeeĀ bundle. If you’re looking for a cheerful, cute birthday card idea, then this one is for you!
Letās talk about the bee, shall we? š TheĀ Meant to BeeĀ bundle makes it so easy to create this charming little insect. With its cheerful yellow stripes, smiling face, and perfectly round body, this bee is ready to bring the buzz to any celebration. Iāve used the matching “best. day. ever.” sentiment from theĀ Country BirdhouseĀ stamp set, and itās the perfect pairing with our little beeās joyful expression.
For the background, Iāve used theĀ So SwirlyĀ embossing folder to add texture to the gorgeous Petunia Pop cardstock. The embossing just brings a lot of energy to the card and complements the brightness of the colors beautifully. I also added a layer of Pool Party cardstock where I stamped my own background.
Of course, no card is complete without a little sparkle, so I finished this off with a few clear sequins to add a subtle shine and some dimension to the design.
Donāt be afraid to mix bold colors with soft textures! I used a bold purple for the background with theĀ So SwirlyĀ folder and paired it with a soft floral pattern for balance. Itās all about finding the right harmony between energetic and calm elements on your card.
The full supply list for this card can be found further down on this blog post. You can also see the video link and the class information below!
