Flexi Bee Card

Hi everyone! For today’s project, I wanted to make a card for a friend. So, when I discovered that tomorrow (May 20) is World Bee Day … I was inspired. The purpose of this day is to spread awareness of the significance of bees and other pollinators for our survival. I love that and found an adorable cutting file of Lori’s called Flexi Card Bee.

How cute is this! I used black and white card stock and a few prints from the Simple Stories Full Bloom collection. The file only had 1 set of wings and they laid flat but I wanted to add a little more dimension. So, I figured out a way to make them pop up.

First, I cut an extra black bee outline from the cutting file and found some vellum to use on the backside.

Then I snipped off the extra parts so I just had the wings left. (Sorry little bee!)

I backed the wings with my vellum.

And I adhered the top area behind the wings with a small piece of black foam tape. I love to use this when I’m sticking black or dark colored papers together. You could use this sweet card for any theme, birthday, congratulations, encouragement or get well card. Here are some fun “bee” puns you could add …
