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!

Daffodil Afternoon 3 Panel Card

 Daffodil Afternoon 3 Panel Card

I can hardly wait until Spring! I thought I would hurry it along with this pretty Spring Daffodil card. The best part is this Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper can be earned for free during Sale-A-Bration until Feb. 28th, 2022! Check out the SAB Catalogue on the right side of this Blog.

Directions:

Cut a piece of Pear Pizzazz Card Stock to 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".

Cut a piece of the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper to 4" x 5 1/4" and attach to the card front.

Cut 3 pieces of Daffodil Afternoon DSP:

 1@ 1 3/4" x 4 3/4", 

1@ 1 3/4" x  1 3/4"

1@ 1 3/4" x 2 3/4"

Cut 3 pieces of Daffodil Delight Card Stock:

1@ 1 7/8" 4 7/8"

  1@ 1 7/8" x 1 7/8"

   1@ 1 7/8" x 2 7/8"

Attach the DSP pieces together with the co-ordinating card stock pieces using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Emboss these 3 panels using the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. Attach them to the card using Dimensionals. 

*Tip: Watch the direction of the Designer Series Paper so you don't have flowers upside down! Also do a dry fit before attaching the panels to get your spacing even.

Stamp a sentiment using the Flowing Flowers Stamp Set onto a piece of Basic White C/S with Memento Black Ink. Attach a small strip of Daffodil Delight C/S under the sentiment. Attach to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Add a Brushed Brass Butterfly to the tag. I also used a Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends to colour the Basic White Bakers Twine. After it dried I tied it into a double bow and attached it to the card using a Glue Dot.

I wanted to use another piece of the DSP inside the card. I felt this piece was fairly busy so I added a Stitched So Sweetly Rectangle Die using Basic White C/S to soften the DSP. I really like how it looks!

I also made another card using the same DSP package, card stocks and layout but a different front layer piece of the DSP and a Basic White Bakers Twine double bow.

This is such a great sentiment!

Same layout, same Designer Series Paper, same card stocks but a different look!

I hope you have some time to play today!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Friendly Hello Fun Fold Card

 Friendly Hello Fun Fold Card

I had so much fun making this card! It looks difficult but it's so easy!! I saw this fun fold on Pinterest and I just had to make it!

This fun fold is called a "Double Dutch Door Card".

Directions:

Cut a piece of Pool Party Card Stock to 4 7/16" x 10". Score this piece at 6".

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4 1/4" x 3 3/4" and attach to the top flap.

Cut a piece of the Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper to      4 1/8" x 3 5/8" and attach to the Basic White C/S layer on the top flap. 

Cut another piece of Pool Party C/S to 2" x 9". Score at 2 1/4" on each end. This creates the bottom door flaps. This piece will be glued to the back of the card at the very bottom, with the flaps at the front.

Cut 2 pieces of Basic White C/S to 1 3/4" x 2" and attach to the bottom flaps.

Cut 2 pieces of the DSP to 1 5/8" x 1 7/8" and attach to the Basic White C/S on the 2 flaps.

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" and a piece of the DSP to 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and attach together. 

Attach this layer to the card on an angle using Dimensionals. I centered the point of the square to line up with the opening of the bottom flaps. **Don't attach any Dimensionals where this square hangs over. You don't want to glue your card closed! 

Die cut a label using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and Basic White C/S. 

Stamp the bird with flowers onto this label using Memento Black Ink.

Colour the bird, flowers and leaves using Stampin' Blends. I used Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam. Add some Wink Of Stella to the bird and flowers. 

Attach some Petal Pink Ribbon behind the label and attach this label to the card front using Dimensionals.

Add a few Genial Gems to finish off the card. 

The Friendly Hello Bundle can be earned for FREE until Feb. 28th, 2022 with our Sale-A-Bration promotion!
