Bring a little buzz-worthy charm to your home décor with this adorable beehive project created with products from Clear Scraps!
This layered piece combines patterned papers, sparkle, dimensional florals, and a sweet shaker bee accent for a cheerful farmhouse-inspired decoration perfect for spring and beyond.
I started by cutting coordinating yellow and floral patterned papers, to cover the beehive.
Before adhering the papers in place, I painted the hive entrance black for contrast and dimension.
Adhere papers to the beehive with decoupage medium.
I did also cover the papers with the decoupage to seal.
After adhering the papers in place, I added decorative trim along each section of the beehive
to highlight the shape and give it a finished look.
The star of the project is the adorable Mini Shaker Bee. Color was added to the outer chip form with a black sparkle pen.
I colored the back piece with acrylic paint markers.
Assemble the shaker by adhering 2 of the form pieces to the back.
Add glitter and sequins.
Remove film from both sides of the acrylic piece and
adhere to the back of the outer form piece.
Add to complete the shaker.
To embellish the top corner, a seam binding bow was added.
I created a dimensional paper flower using coordinating cardstock and added a gem center for a pop of shine. A few leaves tucked underneath complete the floral cluster beautifully.
I adhered the bee shaker and as a final touch, I added a dotted bee trail detail near the bee for a whimsical finishing accent.
This project would be so cute displayed on a shelf, tucked into seasonal décor, or gifted to a bee lover. The combination of layered elements, shimmer, and soft floral details makes this beehive home décor piece truly sweet as honey.
It's super fun and enables you to create something you may not have tried before.

Celebrate your favorite graduate in a big way with this bold and dimensional triple easel card! Featuring impactful card layering with classic graduation icons, and sentiments from Pajama Crafter Stamps, this design is sure to stand out on any display.
Create 3 top folding navy card bases in 3 descending sizes.
Score and mountain fold the front of each card base in half horizontally.
Cut layering panels for each card front. A navy stripe pattern paper from the Let’s Play Ball Paper Pack is cut for the largest and smallest cards. White card stock is cut for the middle card.
Emboss the white panel with an embossing folder. Add gilding wax to the raised areas.
Assemble the Triple Easel
Adhere the layering panels to the front, bottom half of each card base.
Starting with the largest card, adhere the back of the middle size card to the middle of the inside. Add the the smallest card to the middle card in the same manner. This forms the triple base. It helps to adhere with foam tape to hold the “easels” in place.
Create the Layering Elements
Stamp the grad hats and diploma from the Hat’s Off Stamp set. Color with alcohol markers and glitter gel pens. Fussy cut.
Stamp the “you can do amazing things“, “Congrats Grad” and “Hat’s off to You!” sentiments from the stamp set with watermark ink onto navy cardstock. Heat emboss with white embossing powder. Die cut into desired shapes. Also die cut pieces to layer sentiments onto with white and silver cardstock.
Die cut “WHOA” from the Dang, Whoa Yikes! Word and Shadow Dies. The word is cut with silver and white cardstock. Cut the shadow with navy cardstock. Layer the “WHOA” with the silver behind the white, slightly offset. Adhere to the shadow.
Layering Large Easel Panel
Adhere a white die cut panel to the top panel. A silver die cut banner goes on over the white panel. Add the “you can do amazing things” sentiment with foam tape.
The “WHOA” sentiment goes on next at the top. Add the larger grad hat to the top left corner of the sentiment.
Middle Panel Layering
Layer the “Congrats Grad!” sentiment onto a silver, oval die cut. Add to the center of the middle panel.
Small panel
Create a small scene using the small cap and diploma.
Use an oval die cut for framing.
Adhere to the stripe pattern paper.
Add the Stopper
Attach the “Hats Off to You!” sentiment on a small white label shape to the base of the card with foam tape. This acts as the stopper for the final easel panel.
Finished Card
When opened, each tier stands up beautifully, showcasing layered sentiments and graduation elements. When closed, the card folds flat—perfect for mailing!
This triple easel design is a fun way to showcase multiple stamps and dies while creating a memorable keepsake for your grad. Swap colors to match school themes or personalize with a name for an extra special touch!
It is paired with patterned floral paper and an intricate die cut frame for a delicate, romantic look. I colored the image with colored pencils, focusing on soft shading in the dress and hat
to keep everything light and airy.
The peach and coral tones worked perfectly with the floral background paper and
gave the entire card a sweet springtime feel.
I finished the design with a simple “Just for You” sentiment that fits so many occasions.
I love how the layered frame draws attention to the focal image while
still allowing all the pretty details to shine.
This card would be perfect for a birthday, thinking of you card, or
simply sending a little happy mail to brighten someone’s day!
My scalloped circle card was created with the Bunny with Carrots Colour Printable as the focal image. It was fussy cut and popped onto a circle die cut placed onto a patterned paper background. I added the sentiment, printable flowers and a bow.
