Sweet as Honey Card Tutorial by Deborah Hellman

Sweet as Honey Card Tutorial by Deborah Hellman

Today we’re rolling out the crafty red carpet for Deborah Hellman and this absolutely adorable bee-themed card! From the sunny yellow background to the sweet little bear bees and that gorgeous honey jar focal image, this project is full of cheerful charm and beautiful detail.

Deborah paired the Bees & Honey Stamp Set with the Honeycomb Bits Stencil and Buzy Buzzin Pattern Paper to create a handmade card that feels bright, playful, and full of sweetness. And can we just take a moment for the coloring on that honey jar? Those soft folds and ruffles are so beautifully done. If you love cute critters, happy colors, and cards that make you smile, this one is a must-see.

Here’s what Deborah had to say about her lovely tutorial.


Hi everyone! Deborah here and I’m excited to share with you my card that I created using the Bees & Honey 4x6 Stamp Set, Buzy Buzzin 6x6 Pattern Paper, and Honeycomb Bits 6x6 Stencil. These little bears dressed up as bees are sooo bee-utiful and adorable. This wonderful stamp set includes four image stamps and three sentiment stamps.
To create this card, I first selected my paper and color palette. The patterned paper that I selected came from the Buzy Buzzin 6x6 Pattern Paper. The patterns in this new paper pack are both wonderful and diverse.
First, I stenciled my background cardstock with the Honeycomb Bits 6x6 Stencil in light orange dye ink, adding a touch of black to add interest. 

Next, I stamped my images and sentiment on white cardstock and cut them out using my ScanNCut. I also cut out a few hexagonal shapes from my patterned paper to continue the bee theme. 

I let my paper colors guide my coloring choices. I colored them with the Copic alcohol ink markers shown in the photos.

Once everything is colored, I attach my background, images, and sentiment to my A2 card base. I like to use dimensional adhesive tape to elevate and add a little interest to my focal images.
