Honey Bunches Easel Card


I think this is my favorite card, ever!


The beehive originally came from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs


The image and sentiment came from Meljen's Designs


The springy bees came from Critters1DC font by Dingbat Crazy


Everything is colored with Crayola pencils and Zig markers.


The honeycomb embossing is a Fiskars Plate run thru my Big Kick.


The globs of "honey" are hot glue dots


to hold up the easel.


The shiny wings are glitter glue.





I used Inkscape to create an outline of the bees and image


which I cut with my Cricut for a "base" layer.


The springs are from a wire-edged ribbon.


I just pulled out the wire, wrapped it around a paint brush,


then hot-glued it between the bees and the "base" layer


on the springy bees


and between the layers of the card base.

That's it, I think!


When the bees wiggle, it is SO fun!


In real life, this is so super-cute! (-:
