BEE CARD #2

 Another favorite fun fold called the Book Binder.

Card base is 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2" and 4 1/4"

DSP is 4" x 4" and coordinating 1" x 4" strip.

I don't usually put something inside the card on the left side.  When I was scoring the 4 1/4" line, my stylus got "off course" and there was a mark that just couldn't be removed.  The piece on the front covered it perfectly so when I saw this dsp piece, I thought it went great with the message on the front. Now no one will ever know except those of you who see it here.  lol

BEE CARD #1

A favorite fold to use.  

Card base measures 5 1/2" x 7 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"

DSP for front is 3" x 5 1/4"

DSP for inside is a 1" x 5 1/4" strip

I mentioned a few days ago that I was going to be posting more cards for a local organic farm that has bee hives.  She has a little store on their farm and sells items from local vendors.  I was thrilled last summer when she asked me to bring cards there.  I found paper pads from Echo Park with a "Bee" theme and so for much of the month of June, you are going to see what I have made for the store so far.  (Hope you don't get bored.)

Thank you for coming by today!

Tomorrow is June 1st and I will begin a series of cards made with a "BEE theme.  Thank you for coming by today!

I think I should have blended some light blue ink in the background for the front of the card.  It feels a little too plain.

Rita Holmes had a video on Facebook for this fancy fold card.  The middle section flips up as shown in the picture below.  

I chose this paper for my first try making this card.  The paper is from Echo Park and was from either the "Bee Happy" or "Happy as can Bee" paper pad.  You will be seeing a lot of cards made with this dsp because I am making them to sell at a local organic farm that has bee hives and sells honey.

If you are interested in the directions, leave a comment here or a private message to me on Facebook.  My screenname on Facebook is Vicki Plagmann Boddicker.  I will share the .pdf file she provided.

MAY 27, 1965

Each year when graduations are taking place, my mind always goes back to this date in 1965....my high school graduation. This was just the beginning for us and we're still together after all of these years.  We have truly been blessed.
