Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? The weekend is here again, have you made any plans? I have work, but that’s just about it. I’m hoping to get some crafting time in.
I have another new to me fun fold card for you today. Here’s my card.
My card played along with a couple challenges today. First is Fab Friday Challenge #181. Here is their sketch.
I also played along with As You See It Challenge #217. Their theme is Love Is In The Air.
I started by scoring and folding the Golden Honey Bee Specialty Designer Series Paper. I scored and folded along the long edge at 7/8″. On the opposite side on the long edge I found the center and made a small mark. I scored from the center of the edge to the fold line on an angle to both sides making a ‘V’. I did this to both pieces of Golden Honey Bee Specialty DSP. I adhered the folded edge to the back side of the Whisper White panel on the top and bottom using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I folded all 4 corners in and adhered them using Snail.
I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Poppy Parade mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped 3 large bees and 2 small bees from the Stampin’ Up! Honey Bee Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the stripes of the bees in using my Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Marker. I added Clear Wink of Stella to all the bees wings to give them a little shimmer. I cut all the bees out using the Detailed Bees Dies. On 2 small strips of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped the words ‘Bee’ and ‘Mine’ using the Stampin’ Up! Make A Difference Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black memento Ink.
I cut a panel of Poppy Parade cardstock into a banner using my Paper Snips. I arranged the bees and sentiment strips on the banner the way I wanted them. I first adhered the bees using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I then adhered the sentiment strips using Snail sliding them under the bees.
I adhered the matted card front to a Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Under the banner on the Whisper White panel I stamped the bee hive image from the Honey Bee stamp set in So Saffron Ink. I adhered the 2 smaller bees to the hive using Glue Dots. I cut a small heart out using the Detailed Bees Dies and a scrap piece of Poppy Parade cardstock. I adhered the heart using a Glue Dot.
On the inside I stamped the bee hive image from the Honey Bee stamp set in So Saffron Ink on a Whisper White panel. I stamped the large bee image from the Honey Bee stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the edge of the bee hive. I colored the stripes of the bees in using my Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Marker. I used my Clear Wink of Stella on the wings to give it a little shimmer. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! A Wish For Everything Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on top of the bee hive. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Poppy Parade mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the bee hive image from the Honey Bee stamp set in So Saffron Ink on the bottom of the envelope front. I stamped the small bee image from the Honey Bee stamp set in tuxedo Black Memento Ink next to the hive. I colored the stripes of the bees in using my Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Marker. I added Clear Wink of Stella on the bees wings. On the envelope flap I adhered a panel of the Golden Honey Bee Specialty DSP.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it at try. Happy Stamping!!

Product List
I started with a Crumb Cake card base and adhered a panel of the All My Love Designer Series Paper to the front using Snail.
On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the heart cluster from the Stampin’ Up Forever Lovely stamp set down both sides in Flirty Flamingo Ink. Using my Big Shot, I cut out 2 of the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies in Flirty Flamingo cardstock.
I placed the 2 hearts on the artwork panel the way I thought I’d like them and stamped the Love You sentiment from the Forever Lovely stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink inside the bottom heart. I then adhered the hearts to the artwork using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the artwork to a Whisper White mat using Snail then adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I stamped the heart cluster from the Forever Lovely stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamping off once, on a Whisper White panel. I then stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Flirty Flamingo Ink over the hearts. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat using Snail then adhered it to the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
The next one is 
On a small piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Meant To Be Cling Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. Using the 5th from the largest Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies I cut the sentiment out with my Big Shot. I adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a Coastal Cabana Glitter Enamel Dot to the corner.
On a panel of Petal Pink Cardstock I stamped the floral heart image from the Meant To Be stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink twice. I then cut the 2 hearts out using the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies. I also cut 2 of the same size hearts out in Cherry Cobbler cardstock for the frame around the stamped hearts. I adhered the hearts to the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to a Berry Burst card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
As you can see all the cards are kind of the same. The frog card is made with Melon Mambo and the 1 1/2″ Circle Punch. The puppy is made with Poppy Parade and the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies and the kitty is made with Blushing Bride and the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies. All these cards are Peek-A-Boo cards.
I stamped the Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Forever Lovely stamp set in either Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (on the Melon Mambo or Poppy Parade cards) or Early Espresso Ink (for the Blushing Bride card) above the circle or ovals. I wrapped a piece of Whisper White 5/8″ Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon around the top of each card base and tied a knot. I added 3 Rhinestone Basic Jewels to each of the card fronts.
I stamped the You Are Loved sentiment from the Forever Lovely stamp set on a Whisper White panel using Melon Mambo, Poppy Parade or Early Espresso Inks. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of each of the card bases.
I started with a Balmy Blue card base and adhered a piece of the beautiful All My Love Designer Series Paper to the front using Snail. I then adhered a piece 1/2″ Lovely Lipstick Ribbon from All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack (available in just 2 days).
Using my Big Shot I cut out 3 of the smallest hearts from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies in Lovely Lipstick cardstock. I adhered the heats to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside on a Whisper White panel, I stamped the heart from the Vertical Greetings stamp set in Lovely Lipstick Ink stamping off 3 times to get a very light image. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Forever Lovely stamp set (available January 3, 2019), in Lovely Lipstick Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Lovely Lipstick mat using Snail then to the Balmy Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
