HEART HONEYCOMB CARD AND BOX

There are over 16,000 known species of bees but the one we know is the honey bee.

They are an essential part of the eco system – they feed on nectar and pollen and in so doing promote the flowers which is essential to our lives and gives us honey. They are our friends and we need to do all we can to protect them.

You will get a Bee design set to be as creative as you like. We have provided two demonstration videos to inspire you – a heart honeycomb card and a box. These would be perfect to use on Valentine’s Day or any time of the year, so enjoy.

HONEYCOMB HEART CARD PROJECT

We are going to show you how to use this paper download set to make two projects.

The designs are a heart card and a box based on the stained glass effect honeycomb and bees. Make sure you watch the demonstration videos.

STEP 1

Take an A4 sheet of card and place in front of you in landscape.

Now taking a ruler mark 4 even sections. Then fold the left and right to the middle so that they meet. This will give you two outer flaps that will meet exactly in the centre and when open will reveal the centre of the card.

STEP 2

Now using the backing sheet cut out panels to fit on the card inside and out if you wish and just stick them into position.
