Today’s card is a partial front fun fold featuring the Bee Mine Suite. This card starts out with a
4 1/4″ x 11″ Basic White cardstock piece scored at 4 1/4″

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 4 1/4″ and cut to 9 3/4″ off the
larger panel
DSP: (1) 1 1/4″ x 4″ (1) 1″ x 4″
Vellum: scrap
Basic White CS: scraps for hearts and flower
stamps and sentiment

Score the 4 1/4″ x 11″ at 4 1/4″ making a square panel and a larger panel then cut then larger panel at the 9 3/4″ mark.

Die cut with the largest rectangular die from the new Everyday Details die set close to the edge of the 4 1/4″ square portion of the card.

Adhere the 1 1/4″ x 4″ DSP to the portion of the card front closest to the score.

Adhere the 1″ x 4″ DSP to the right side of the card base maintaining an even border around the top, bottom, and right side of the card inside.

Stamp the bee body in Daffodil Delight int and the stripes over the body and the desired face in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and punch the body out with the Bee Builder punch.
Closing the card front, mark the opening lightly with a pencil mark. Then mark where you want to place the bee body so the face is poking out of the left hand side of the die opening. Stamp the antennae in Memento Tuxedo black ink at the top pencil body mark and the two wings in Pool Party at the side pencil marks. If the pencil marks are still visible erase them now.

Adhere the bee body over the stamped images on the card inside.

Stamp flowers in Pool Party ink around the bee.

Take a scrap of Vellum cardstock and die cut the double circle from the new Everyday Details die set which is destined to become one of my favorites from this new January to April 2024 Mini Catalog! (If you die cut it in the center of a 3 1/2″ square save the outside negative die cut for another card – look for it in Friday’s blog post!!)

Stamp the sentiment on a scrap of Basic White cardstock and fussy cut around the words. With mini glue dots adhere to the circle die and using glue dots under the left side and one under the end of the word at the right – adhere the vellum circle to the card front.

Add a fussy cut Pool Party flower to the circle and place a mini glue dot under this embellishment for additional stability and to hide the glue dot placement.

Because the card front is cut and score so it is a partial front I have taken the Hearts from the punch and using a blending brush and Flirty Flamingo ink colored them and adhered them to the dsp on the inside of the card – taping only the right hand side and leaving the left hand side free to act as a tab to secure the shorter end of the card closed.

I added three solid Faceted Gems to the card front – one over the inside flower on the vellum above it!

Hope you like this different fun fold and try it with your own supplies soon! Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
