🐝 Bee Dog Spinning Card 🐶✨

One of my favorite things about stamping is when you can mix sets together to create something totally new! For this project, I transformed the Christmas Long Time No See dog into a buzzing little bee—and I can’t stop smiling at how cute he turned out.

I colored the dog in bee stripes, added wings from the Beautiful Butterflies set, and then made him spin inside the card. To top it all off, I used some DSP for the background—such a fun finishing touch (and bonus, some are even on sale right now in the Last Chance Products!)

Basic Instructions

Card Base

– Cut 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 4 ¼”.

Window Opening

– Cut a square or rectangle window in the front panel.

Stamping

– Stamp the dog from Long Time No See and Stamp it again using mirror technique

Wings

– Add wings from Beautiful Butterflies.

Colouring

- color them both in bee colors (yellow & black stripes). and the wings in blue

Spinning Bee

– adhere the two back-to-back with string in between.

Assembly

– Secure the string across the window opening and sandwich it between card layers of DSP.

Finishing Touches

– Add your favorite DSP to decorate inside and out.

Tip: Twist the bee before closing the card—when the recipient opens it, he’ll spin and buzz around!

This project is such a great example of how you can get more out of your stamp sets by mixing and matching. Have you ever turned one of your stamps into something totally different? I’d love to hear your ideas! 💛🐝
