In some situations they can mean the same thing.
"Those rocks are slippery. Take care."
"Those rocks are slippery. Be careful."
In every day speech, "take care" is more of a polite thing to tell someone when parting. "Be careful" implies there is some danger they will need to avoid and sounds more serious.

"Take care" is a friendly, informal goodbye where you wish them good health or safety.
"Be careful" can be advice, even a warning. The person that you say this to is doing something that COULD put them in danger.
If someone is walking down the stairs too fast, you would say: "Woah, be careful."
If someone is driving a car with no lights on, you would also warn them to be careful too.
