I added a greeting card to the collection of bee themed projects too! The front of the card uses negative space just like the lantern and mini wallet. It’s such a fun card and I know it’ll put a smile on anyone’s face.

You can use the included Happy Birthday sentiment which is designed to be drawn on with the Pen tool. Or you can leave it off and write your own. I’m sure you can come up with some Bee puns of your own for the inside.   

Fun tip, If you use translucent material you can stand the card up with a light inside, for a mini lantern.
