Thank you for joining us for this month's Team Blog Hop!

I think I say this each year... Fall is my favorite season!  The fresh, crisp air and beautiful colors.  Funny, even though it means plants, flowers, and trees are losing their foliage and dying out for the year, it is more rejuvenating to me than spring. 

I'm excited to share my fall project with you, which is a creative fold card, featuring the Hello Harvest Bundle and Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper. 

Be sure to read to the end for 2 (two) incredible September deals happening now!

Hello there!  I have a great Fun Fold for you today, or creative fold as some call it.  I'm excited to share because it features some product from the New 2022-2023 Annual Catalog which debuted this month (May 2022), including the Sending Smiles Bundle (see product details below). 

And... that Designer Series Paper!  What a great background it makes.  It is also new and called Hues of Happiness.  Let's take a look:

Ooooo those blues and greens!

Here is a top view so you can see the fun fold.  Its a z-fold and unique which is why I like it so much. 

Card Details:    CS=cardstock   DSP=Designer Series Paper

Paper

• Night of Navy CS:              2 pieces cut to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2
• Night of Navy CS:              2 x 4
• Granny Apple Green CS:  2 pieces cut to 4 x 5-1/4
• Basic White CS:                 3 x 4 (for words & flowers)
•  Basic White CS:                3-3/4 x 11 (scored at 5" and 10" on long side)
• Hues of Happiness DSP: 4 x 5-1/2

Stamps, Ink & Accessories

• Granny Apple Green,  Pool Party & Daffodil Delight Class Ink
• Sending Smiles Bundle
• Glossy Dots Assortment
• Stampin' Dimensionals

Cutting & Stamping Instructions

• On  2x4 Night of Navy CS, die cut the background 'sending' word
• Take one of the Granny Apple Green CS pieces, and die cut the word 'Sending' from the MIDDLE
• Adhere above to die cuts together
• On 3x4 white CS, stamp flowers and words then die cut with coordinating dies.  Flower petals are Pool Party, flower centers are Daffodil Delight and the stems are in Granny Apple Green
• On the 3-3/4 x 11 Basic White CS, after scored, the bigger section will measure 3-3/4 x 5.  This will be your inside so stamp your inside sentiment (make sure stamp in correct direction).  I also added an extra strip of DSP so I cut down to 1/2 x 3-1/2 and adhere to the right side.  You can see it in the above photo. 

Putting it together

• Adhere pieces of the 4 x 5-1/4 Granny Apple Green CS to each of the Night of Navy CS 4-1/4 x 5-1/2
• Adhere DSP on top of one of the above to make the card front
• Take the 3-3/4 x 11 scored white.  The part you stamped your inside sentiment, adhere this on top of the other piece of Granny Apple Green.  Now fold over.  The score should be on your left so valley fold; then mountain fold on the other score line.  
• Put adhesive on the 2" flap, close all folds, lay card front piece on top and adhere down.
• Adhere words, flowers and stems to card front.  Make sure to use Stampin' Dimensionals
• Bling with the Glossy Dots Assortments

New from the January-June 2022 catalog, "In The Moment" stamp set is sure to be a favorite.  The images and phrases are perfect for a little encouragement. This is a great project to use the Layering Diorama Dies and Blending Brushes. 

Here is a direct front view and then what the back of the card looks like:

Card Details:

• Basic White Card Stock (CS):
  • 2 pieces 5-1/2 x 6-1/4
  • 3-3/4 x 5
  • 4 x 5-1/4
  • 3 x 3 or scrap piece for girl
• Pumpkin Pie CS:  2 pieces  4 x 5-1/4
• Ink:  Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight,  Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Black  Memento
• Blends Alcohol markers:  Ivory, Crumb Cake, Soft Sea Foam, Daffodil Delight, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Cherry Cobbler

  Accessories:  Blending Brushes, Layering Diorama Dies

Front of Card:

1. Score both 5-1/2 x 6-1/4 pieces of Basic White the same.  1/2" and 1" both ends - on the long side of CS (better to fold score lines later).  Making scores lines, will create a center section that is 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 (like a standard card front) so you can use that a reference to make sure you scored correctly. 
2. Die cut one of above pieces with Layering Diorama Die in center of CS (I laid my at an angle)
3. Take 4 x 5-1/4 Pumpkin Pie CS, center on back of above piece, lightly trace the Diorama opening from front.  Use the next smaller Diorama die that fits in the tracing, and die cut.  
4. Fully adhere Pumpkin Pie CS to Basic White making sure you can see the Pumpkin Pie outline from the front
5. Find stamp with word "relax".  Use Basic Black Stampin' Marker to color "relax" only and stamp on bottom, right side of card front. 
6. Stamp girl with Memento Ink and color using Stampin' Blends.  Fussy cut and adhere her to front of card.  NOTE:  watch where you put adhesive, only needs to be on bottom portion. 

Inside Scenery:

1. Take 4 x 5-1/4 Basic White CS and color scenery with Blending Brushes (Balmy Blue at bottom, then go up and blend in Pool party, Pumpkin Pie and finally, Daffodil Delight at top. 
2. Color birds only, from girl stamp, with Basic Black Marker and  stamp three sets of birds
3. Adhere scenery piece to center of 2nd piece of 6-1/4 x 5-1/2 Basic White CS
4. On other side of this same 5-1/2 x 6-1/4 Basic White, you can add the other Pumpkin Pie CS and the 3-3/4 x 5 Basic White with stamped sentiment

Putting it all together:  Place adhesive ONLY on the outer edges of the Basic  White CS.  I found it best to line up one side then the other.  You can now do your folds and crease with a bone folder.  The 1" score line will be a mountain fold.  The 1/2" score line will  be a valley fold and will create tab  ends and this is what you fold in to mail in a regular A2 envelope. 

Just a reminder it's Sale-a-Bration Time!

Welcome to We BEE Stamping Team Blog Hop for September.  We are featuring our favorite Bundle from the 2021 Fall/Holiday Mini Catalog.  

Mine is favorite is the Whimsical Tree Bundle which also happens to come in a product suite called Whimsy & Wonder Suite Collection.  I don't know why but there is something that draws me to non-traditional colors for Christmas time and this definitely is that!  Pool Party, Blushing Bride, Misty Moonlight, Mint Macaron and Mossy Meadow are the featured colors of the fabulous designer series paper (Whimsy & Wonder Specialty DSP).

  • glue down the two 1" flaps
• On the two 1" flaps adhere DSP strips (see the holly leaves strips...)

• Adhere Blushing Bride CS to the BOTTOM of the above flap
• Basic White 3-1/4 x 4:

  • stamp tall tree in Mint Macaron and "dots" with Mossy Meadow
  • stamp shorter trees in Mint Macaron at different heights
  • die cut 2 tree dies and a bunch of stars from Silver Foil
  • adhere three stars to trees
  • adhere on top of Blushing Bride CS

INSIDE OF CARD

• Basic White 3-3/8 x 4-1/8:
  • stamp words in Pool Party
  • stamp short, wide tree in Mint Macaron on 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 white CS and die cut
  • die cut decorative trim die for above tree in Silver foil and adhere to tree
  • adhere tree to Basic White with Stampin' Dimensionals (tree must be popped up)
  • glue extra stars around

Welcome to our May TEAM Blog Hop!  I am excited about this month's theme - Everything Masculine - because we can all use a masculine card, especially with Father's Day just around the corner.

I have a special project for you.  A Double Opening Card!  Let's take a look...

Card Front: 

• Coastal Cabana card base is standard 5-1/2 x 8-1/2" scored and folded at 4-1/2"
• Layer of Soft Suede is 4 x 5-1/4"
• Very Vanilla CS:  cut 5 x 7-1/2.  Score at 3-3/4"
• Die cut circle that is 2-1/8" from Layering Circle Dies
• Stamp large shell in Crumb Cake
  
  • stamp off first
  • emboss with Seashells 3D Embossing Folder
  • die cut with Seaside Seashells Die & snip out
  • cover with Wink-a-Stella clear
  • add to card front with Dimensionals
• Stamp seaweed in Old Olive, die cut & glue down
• Stamp small shell in Pale Papaya, die cut & glue down
• Stamp starfish in Crumb Cake, Sponge, die cut & glue down
• Add Opal Rounds for embellishment

Very Vanilla Inside (first opening):

• mask your scored line with Post-It notes
• Stamp man in chair in Memento Ink on right flap
• Stamp man in chair on a Post-It note then fussy cut him out.  Cut around his legs so you can get coloring under chair
• Using Blending Brushes, sponge Pale Papaya at top then work down with So Saffron, Balmy Blue then Crumb Cake
• Stamp "sand" speckles at bottom in Crumb Cake
• Color man with Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers (Light Night of Navy for hat, dark Daffodil Delight for shirt, Light Misty Moonlight for shorts, dark Mint Macaron for chair, and Light Petal Pink for skin)

You can now adhere your Very Vanilla folded card to the piece of Soft Suede and then add that to the Coastal Cabana card base.
