New Post-Bee Fun Fold

 Bee Fun Fold Card

I made this adorable Bee card using the Hello LadyBug Bundle. I love it when a Stampin' Up! punch can be used in different ways!

Directions:

The base of this fun fold is a single layer of Basic Black Card Stock, 5 1/2" x 4 1/8". 

Cut 2 pieces of Daffodil Delight C/S, 1 1/2" x 4" and emboss using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. Attach these 2 pieces to each side of the Basic Black layer.

Cut another piece of Basic Black C/S to 2 3/4" x 8 1/4" and score it at 4 1/8". Using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue attach this to the card front between the 2 Daffodil Delight panels. This creates the flip opening.

Cut 2 pieces of Basic White C/S to 2 5/8" x 4". Emboss one using the Floral 3D Embossing Folder then attach it to the front flap. The second panel is the inside of the flap.

Die cut 1 Basic Black C/S label and 1 smaller Basic White C/S label using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Stamp a sentiment and some flowers onto the Basic White C/S label using Daffodil Delight and Memento Black Inks. Attach the 2 labels together then attach them to the card front flap using Dimensionals. Add a Polished Dot to each end of the Basic Black C/S label.

On the inside Basic White C/S panel stamp a few flowers using Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped off once to get a lighter look.

To make the adorable bee follow the instructions below:

For the bee wings cut a piece of Vellum Card Stock to 2 1/4" x 3" wide, fold in half, place the fold side into the punch as shown in the photo. Leave a small gap in the punch so that the wings punch out in one piece that will be doubled. 

I attached the wings to the bee using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. Set aside to dry. 

Attach the bee to the card using Dimensionals.

I hope you get a chance to play today and create your own fun fold bee card!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Box Top Pop-Up Ladybug Fun Fold

Box Top Pop-Up Ladybug Fun Fold

I had so much making this cute fun fold! I got the inspiration from Susan Campfield! Check out her amazing video tutorial here: Box Top Pop-Up Thanks so much Susan!!

This project was made using the Hello Ladybug Bundle from Stampin' Up! It is a stamp set and punch bundle. I made a matching envelope as well!

Check out the cute surprise inside!! 

Directions:

Cut a Misty Moonlight Card Stock card base to 3 3/4" x 9 3/4" and score at 5 1/4".

Cut a piece of the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper to       3 1/2" x 4 1/4" and attach to the shorter card front. 

On some Basic White C/S, stamp a ladybug body using Memento Black Ink, stamp the ladybug wings using Real Red Ink and the spots in Memento Black Ink and a leaf using Shaded Spruce Ink. Punch out the ladybug body and wings with the LadyBug Punch and fussy cut out the leaf. 

On a tiny piece of Basic White C/S stamp "hello" using Memento Black Ink. I added a sliver of Real Red C/S peeking out from one end of the sentiment strip and I flag cut the other end.

Attach the ladybug, leaf and sentiment to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Add some Red Rhinestones.

For the box top flap: 

Cut another piece of Misty Moonlight C/S to 2 1/2" x 4 1/4" and score at 1 1/4" on the long side.

Cut a coordinating piece of the Pattern Party DSP to 4" x 1". Attach it to the front section of the flap.

Attach the longer end of the card inside the flap. Only add glue to the card base top. If you add the glue to the flap piece it will glue your flap closed. The front facing flap has no glue on it. 

Attach a ribbon around the flap. The ribbon keeps the flap closed. Tuck the shorter card end up and under the flap.

Inside pop up:

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 3 1/2"x 9 1/4" and score at 5".

On the score line, cut down 3/4" on the 1 1/2" and 2" mark. Then score across @ 3/4". Pop up this small section. This creates the pop-out feature.

Glue this to the inside of the card using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. *Make sure you match up the center score mark on the card base and the pop-up insert before glueing. 

Die cut or cut 2 squares, circles or rectangles, what ever is your preference. Cut one in Basic White C/S and a slightly larger one in Real Red C/S. 

On the Basic White C/S square piece, stamp the ladybug in Memento Black Ink. I used a Real Red Stampin' Blend to colour in the ladybug. Attach the two squares together using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Add a bit of Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to the pop-out piece and attach the ladybug squares to it. 

Isn't that a cute ladybug!! 

I hope you enjoyed todays fun fold and have a chance to make one too! 

Happy Stamping and Creating!
