Happy Bee-Day Card by Lynn Dionne

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!



Watch video tutorial here!

Today's card was inspired by the new Ai "Yellow" Blog Challenge which is to simply use the color yellow somewhere on your card or project! Yellow is just such a happy, cheerful color and little bees were the first thing that came into my mind for this card!

We will be creating a fun grid layout with some pretty patterned papers from the brand-new Ai Floral Shop Paper Packs! The colors and patterns coordinate perfectly and will make this card super easy to create.

Let's begin by stamping, coloring and die cutting the bees and the cute little bear. The bees are from the Ai Honey Bee Set (5925) and the bear is the Ai FREEBIE Honey Bear. The FREEBIE is available with a $30 purchase. There are several bears to choose from so you can decide which one you like best!

For the coloring we will use the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Yellow, Bright Yellow, Flesh Colour, Beige, Mid Brown, Olive Green, and Haze Blue. We can die cut the bees with the coordinating dies and for the bear we can do a bit of fussy cutting, leaving a little white border all the way around, and cutting away the bee for the inside of the card.

For the stitched layers on the card, we will be using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063) in a few different sizes. And for the grid layout, I will give you all of the dimensions in today's video! Don't forget to die cut and additional panel for the inside of the card and add your sentiment and little bee!

For a bit more interest, we will wrap the front of the card with some pretty yellow ribbon and layer up the card.

For a finishing touch, let's add a few sparkly gems in a topaz color!

Thank you so much for joining me today!  Have a fun and crafty day!
