The Bee My Valentine Stamp Set, paired with the Bee Builder Punch, is a favorite for Valentine’s Day cards. I thought it would be fun to create a fancy fold, that you’ll see is easy to make.
I began with Flirty Flamingo Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, a regular card base so far. Then, I scored the card front at 2 1/8″, and folded it back. I decorated the two folds with Most Adored Designer Paper, 1 7/8″ X 5 1/4″.
Next, I used the same designer paper for the inside, cut with the largest Radiating Stitches Die. After gluing the heart DSP in place, I used the second largest Radiating Stitches Die to cut Basic White Cardstock (1), and a Black & White, Zoo Crew, floral pattern (2). First, I stamped “Happy Valentine’s Day,” on the Basic White Cardstock, and glued it in the center of the of inside. Second, I glued the floral pattern together, so you would see the pretty print on the inside. The trickiest part of this Fun Fold is placing the die-cut on the front, so it covers the die-cut on the inside. Just be careful to only glue the half that should be glued. See? That’s not so hard.
The bee was cut with the Bee Builder Punch from Basic White Cardstock that I colored with Lemon Lolly Ink and a Blending Brush. Then, I used Bee My Valentine Stamps to color its stripes, wings, antennae, and face with Memento Black Ink. The Bee Builder Punch was also used to cut the wings and antennae, which I glued to the bee’s body.
After attaching the bee with Dimensionals, I stamped, “you’ll always bee the one for me” on Basic White Cardstock. I made two cuts with the third largest Radiating Stitches Die, to make it the right size, and attached it with Dimensionals.
The final touch was adding three hearts on the inside, cut with the Bee Builder Punch from Flirty Flamingo Cardstock. And, two Adhesive-Backed Flowers were attached on the front.

So Cute Su!
Pretty card but I believe that score dimension on the front fold back is incorrect. Should it be 2 1/8th?
You are correct, Linda! Thanks for catching my error.
