Happy World Honey Bee Day!! Some of the Honey Bee design team members are taking part in the To Bee or Not To Bee Blog Hop to celebrate! Honey Bee has so many great bee themed products to choose from that I didn’t know where to start!! I had several goodies from the newest release that I haven’t had a chance to play with yet, so that’s the route that I went!
I began with my background…I used the Hexagon Pattern Stencil and blended Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Inks onto Bristol paper. The second largest of the Double Stitched Polygon Honey Cuts was die-cut from the center of the ink-blended panel. I adhered the die-cut to the center of my cardbase, so the pattern would be continuous through the shaker window. The next smallest Double Stitched Polygon was used to cut the center from a panel of black cardstock to create the shaker window. For the greeting, the Hi Honey Dies were cut from yellow and black cardstock. The Bee Paper Piecing Honey Cuts were also cut out using the same yellow and black cardstock. I glued vellum to the back of the wings and fussy cut around them. The shaker mix is a combination of Hexagon Sequins and the Sunny Day sequin mix (which are both retired)!!
I had so much fun creating this card! Shakers are always a favorite of mine!!
I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by today!! Have a wonderful week!!
Oh my gosh. I love this!

Kind greetings from Wiebke (KomMa-designed)
AWESOME creation! I love shakers! This is the BEE’S KNEES HOP! My husband & I host 60 to 80 bee hives on our 5 acre place for the summer (to get them out of the heat) for a bee keeper from California after they are through pollinating the orange and nut orchards.
