Sunny Studio Stamps: Sweet As Can Bee Boxcard

Hello Crafty Friends! I'm on the Sunny Studio Stamps Blog today and I have a fun little boxcard card to share showcasing the Sweet As Can Bee set. So let’s get started.

I stamped the images from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps set and a branch from the Little Birdie Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Sweet As Can Bee Dies and Little Birdie Dies to diecut them out. I also diecut some flowers from the Gift Card Envelope Dies out of the Neenah white and yellow cardstock. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:

Bees: Y11/13/15/19, T1/3/5/7, R20, BG000/10

Branch: E23/25/27

Leaves: YG01/03/25

Flowers: RV13

Beehive: Y11/13/08 YR21/24 W5

Honey Pot: YR21/23/24/27, RV10/21/13

Honey Dipper: RV21/13/14

For the boxcard, I used the Stitched Square Dies to diecut one 4” square out of blue cardstock, one 3.5” square and two 1” square out of white carcstock. I also trimmed a blue strip (1.25” x 11”) and two white strips (1.25” x 4.75”) for the boxcard base. 

For the boxcard base, I used a score board to score the blue strip at the 1.25”, 5.25”, 6.5” and 10.5” marks. I folded on the score lines, added liquid blue to the 0.5” end tab and secured it to the other end of the strip to create the boxcard base. I adhered the two large square diecuts to each other and then to the back of the boxcard base. I adhered the two small white squares to the side panels.

For the boxcard shelves, I used the score board to score the two white strips at the 3/8” mark on each of the long ends. I folded on the score lines and added the shelves to the boxcard with strong double-sided tape. 

For the sentiment, I used the Slimline Pennant Dies to diecut a white banner. I used a partial diecuttibg technique and the fishtail end of the die to shorten the strip to fit the front of the boxcard. Next, I used the Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies to diecut the B-E-E letters out of black cardstock. I adhered the letters to each other with liquid adhesive and used the word to align the “You’re as sweet as can” sentiment from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps set onto the banner. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the banner with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered the BEE to the banner. 

I adhered the colored images and sentiment strip to the boxcard with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. To make it look like they are flying, I used clear acetate strips to adhere the bees.
