DOstamping@Home Club: Bee Mine Swing & Sway Motion Card Tutorial
April 28, 2024
Today I'm sharing one of my DOstamping@Home Club projects, from earlier this year. My virtual club is an every other month club that includes 3 pre-packaged projects that you'll stamp and assemble at home. For more information, click here.
The card is super cute motion card, called Swing & Sway.
This Bee My Valentine Bundle and Bee Mine Designer Series Paper whimsical card features a charming bee that swings and sways when you move the card side-to-side. It's heartfelt message, "you're as sweet as honey", is great for making someone smile.
How'd She DO That? Bee Mine Swing & Sway card
- Stamps/Bundles: Bee My Valentine Bundle- includes Bee Builder Punch (last chance for 10% bundle savings)
- Paper:
- Daffodil Delight (11" x 4-1/4" card base, scrap for bee body punch)
- Basic White (scrap for bee wings/antennae punch, 4" x 5-1/4") for inside
- Sweet Sorbet (scrap for small heart bee punch)
- Petal Pink (3/4" x 4" sentiment, 1-5/8" x 4" inside)
- Window Sheet (5/8" x 3")
- Bee Mine Designer Series Paper (1" x 5-1/4" honeycomb, 3" x 5-1/4" small bees, 1-1/4" x 4" honey jars) - Last Chance
- Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento, Sweet Sorbet
- Stampin' Blends: Flirty Flamingo, Sweet Sorbet
- Other: Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels, Stampin' Seal, Glue Dots & Stampin' Dimensionals, (1/2" circle punch or handheld 1/4" punch)
- Adhere honeycomb & small bees DSP to folded card base.
- Use a small circle punch/die to cut a hole near the top of the 5/8" x 3" piece of window sheet. (options: 1/4" handheld punch - shown above, 1/2" circle punch or "hole" die from Tailor Tags dies).
- On 3/4" x 4" Petal Pink strip, stamp sentiment. Turn over and place Mini Stampin' Dimensionals on ends and center. Loop the window sheet hole over the center dimensionals (can use regular sized dimensional if used 1/2" circle punch). Then adhere to card where shown. Window sheet strip should be able to swing & sway loosely.
- Stamp and assemble bee parts with Glue Dots. Use Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Marker to make "cheeks". Adhere to window sheet with Stampin' Dimensionals (trim off excess window sheet, if necessary). Adhere Sweet Sorbet heart punch out with glue dot (at top of heart only - so it doesn't stick to the card).
- Color (3) small Iridescent Pearls with Sweet Sorbet Stampin' Blends Marker and attach where shown.
- Note: This card is a modification of a Swing & Sway style card shared by Susan Campfield.
Don't forget to bring the outside in:
- On white inside panel, stamp sentiment and "bee" lines with black ink and heart with Sweet Sorbet ink.
- Adhere honey jars DSP to Petal Pink and adhere to stamped panel. Then adhere to inside of card.
WATCH the SWING & SWAY card in action: Just a quick show & tell
What a fun and creative way to express your affection to someone who is sweet as honey. My husband received this card and thought it was one of the best cards I made. When you can impress the guys - that's a good card!!
