This week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is Special Fold Cards!  This is always a fun week for me…my customers love special fold cards, and I always want new ideas!  I’ve been wanting to try this “Corner Fold” card for a while.  It is super easy, but fun with the pop-up inside!  I’ve used the Honey Bee bundle for this week’s card!

HONEY BEE

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Daffodil Delight cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• Using a template measuring 2-3/4 x 3-1/2 and cut at an angle, add to the top left corner, and using Simply Scored to follow the diagonal line with the Scoring Tool.

• Press in score lines, then reverse the fold inside.

• Cut the Honey Bee/Hive print from Golden Honey DSP (FREE SAB!) to 4 x 5-1/4, use the template to cut off the top left corner, then add to front.
• Wrap the Daffodil Delight Crinkled Ribbon around the 1 x 5-1/4 black/gold stripe from Golden Honey DSP and tie a knot, then add to the bottom of the DSP as shown.
• Stamp the bee hive from Honey Bee with Mango Melody Ink on Whisper White, then cut with the Detailed Bee Die.  Add to corner as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Cut the Honey Comb from Detailed Bee Die from Mango Melody cardstock, adhere to a piece of Daffodil Delight, cut around the edges.  Add a few of the inside honey comb pieces inside.  Tuck under top side of hive with Stampin’ Dimensionals as shown.
• Cut large bee with Detailed Bee Die from Basic Black cardstock, cut small piece of Daffodil Delight to fit under the body.  Add to beehive with Stampin’ Dimensional.
• Stamp Hello on scrap Whisper White cardstock, cut with So Sweetly Stitched Die.  Add to honey comb with Stampin’ Dimensional.

INSIDE

• Cut honey comb DSP and Whisper White cardstock to 4 x 5-1/4.  Use template to cut bottom left of Honey comb DSP and top left of Whisper White pieces.  You will need to trim off 1/2″ on left side of small triangle pieces to fit on card.
• Cut another honey comb piece with the Detailed Bee Die from Mango Melody, add to bottom pop-up.
• Stamp three small bees with Memento Black Ink on scrap Whisper White, color with Daffodil Delight Marker, cut with Detailed Bee Die.  Add to background and honey comb.
• Stamp two bees with Memento Black Ink on Whisper White layer, color with Daffodil Delight Marker.
• Stamp Celebrate Every Moment from Honey Bee with Memento Black Ink on scrap Daffodil Delight cardstock, cut with So Sweetly Stitched Die, add inside.
