Welcome to the Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Fun Folds Blog Hop. There’s a lineup below to make it easy for you to hop along.
The bees are back with a new color palette! For this month’s fun fold card, I’m giving you a sneak peek from the 2025 Scrapbooking Brochure, which will be available January 7, 2025. However, the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set and Bee Builder Punch from the Annual Catalog, are available right now!

Bee Mine Fun Fold
To make the card base, I cut a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″. I layered this with Basic White Cardstock, 5″ X 3 3/4″, which I had stamped in Bubble Bath Ink with the Sketched Plaid Stamp. Next, I cut Petunia Pop Cardstock, 4 1/4″ X 9 3/4″, scored both ends at 3 1/4″, folded and glued in the center of the Sketched Plaid layer.
The frame on the front of the card was created with a Wildflower Designs Die, which I used to cut Basic White and Bubble Bath cardstock. I stamped “bee mine” in Memento Black Ink, and glued the frame in place.
For the inside, I cut Old Olive Cardstock, 4″ X 3″, and layered it with Basic White Cardstock, 3 7/8″ X 2 7/8″. Prior to gluing, I stamped the bee’s trail, and “you’ll always bee the one for me,” in Memento Black Ink.
To make the bees, I used the Bee Builder Punch and Bee My Valentine Stamps. The wings and antennae are heart shaped:)
2024 is coming to a close on this last day of the year, so I’m wishing you all much happiness in 2025! I know Stampin’ Up! has exciting things for us!

Product List
Su, I love this beautiful Valentine’s card. It will be here before we know it. Enjoy your day!
Su, what a unique card! TFS. Happy New Year.
The card is delightful, but you made a slight error in the cutting instructions. The Petunia Pop should be cut at 9-3/4”, not at 9-1/2, scored at 3-1/4. Thank you for sharing. It’s a great fun fold.!
I’m so glad you like it, Sheryl! Thanks for catching my error!
Su, what a darling card! I love that you used nontraditional colors for the Valentine! I forgot about this stamp set, but you have inspired me to use it for my Valentine’s cards! TFS
Thank you, Kathi! So happy to inspire!
Beautiful card to dust off the bees bundle, Su! Yes, we need to look at our older current sets and freshen them up and you did that perfectly. Love the fun! Hope you have a wonderful new year! Thank you for joining the hop!
Thank you, Debbie! Happy New Year!
Cute fun fold, like the colors you used not the typical Valentine colored. Thank you for the inspiration. I need to start working on my Valentine cards.
Thank you, Nancy Sue! I love this bee!
