Happy Birthday bee fun fold

For my project today, I'm bringing in a stamp set that was been around for a bit, hopefully, you have it on hand already.  It works for so many things.  I decided to make this a very easy fun fold card.  Just one extra score and voila, you have this fun fold made easily.  You will find a video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link. 




Supplies and measurements: 
Bee My Valentine stamps 162547
Bee Builder Punch 162553
Valentine Kisses bundle* 167310 (includes stamps & coordinating dies)
Banner Sayings bundle* 167051 (includes stamps & three banner punch)

Poppy Parade cardstock for card base 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 1 1/4" & 5 1/2" on the long side
Made with Love DSP 167054
    1 piece 1" x 5 1/4" & 1 piece 2 3/4" x 5 1/4"
Early Espresso cardstock scraps
Basic White cardstock
    inside layer 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"

    piece for label approx 3 3/4" x 3 1/8"
scrap of vellum 
    Tiny Bee trinkets 164714

I hope you give this fun fold a try.  I did have a bit of trouble using the small little bird as an anchor to keep the card closed during the video.  I revamped it, cut the bird die in thick basic white three times, glued each layer on top of the other and added my stamped bird image over the top.  I then placed a double stack of glue dots on my card where I needed it and added the bird stack to the glue dots.  It isn't perfect, but it works with such a small image.  

You will find all the supplies I've used today in my online store by clicking on the shopping cart to the right.  Thank you so much for stopping by!  I'm so pleased you did.

Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!

Sunflower Love & Courage Making a Difference card tutorial

For my project today, I wanted to make a card using the Love & Courage stamp set and pair it with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder.  I used an ink blending technique to ink my focal background.  The sentiment uses a colored ink embossing powder technique.  I hope you are inspired to make some cards of encouragement for those in your life that are fighting the battle, not just breast cancer, with any cancer.  Change up the colors to suit your needs.  This is an important fight and most of know someone who is currently struggling with it or has fought the fight already.  $3 of every stamp set purchased in my Stampin' Up! online store goes to a Breast Cancer organization.  

To see how I've put this card together and learn the techniques I've used, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.  You can make several of these in whatever color you choose and donate to a cancer center.  They'll get into the hands of those who could use some encouragement and you get the joy of stamping and giving.
