Colorful Sunflowers the easy way!

Marilyn made this pretty card with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here) for one of our latest Flowerbug's Team swaps.  I believe she found the idea on Pinterest.  I love how it features 4 of our new In Colors!

The card base is Bumblebee.  She added Black card stock and ink to pull the colors together.  Here is a tip: stamp the sunflower on 4 different colored squares and then cut them into smaller squares.  You'll get enough stamped pieces for 4 cards!

Measurements:

• Bumblebee card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
• White – 5 1/4" X 4"
• Black 3 3/4" square
• Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Cinnamon Cider and Bumblee – 3 1/2" squares for stamping. Then cut into 1 3/4" squares to puzzle piece on each card.

  I shared this super cute fun fold card on last week's Live video. It has lots of layers but it's so easy to make!  

  Save

  Besides the bright, happy holiday colors in the Take a Bow DSP I love that this fun fold uses your cardstock efficiently. Each diagonally cut card base is one half of an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of CS. I forgot to take a photo of this aspect but I do share it in the video seen here. 

  Below is a photo that shows how it opens and the pocket available for the optional gift card.

  My colors include Real Red & Garden Green with White. The diagonal layers are also easy to do.  Start with a rectangle and cut it in half on the diagonal making sure you cut it to match the diagonal. 

  My greeting & White die-cut is from the Christmas Labels bundle which is on the Last Chance list right now. See it here. 

  The Red die-cut is from Greetings of the Season dies and the pine bough die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops and made from the Festive Glimmer paper.

  I added a double bow made from Red &  White Baker's Twine and Peppermint dots that are currently unavailable but will return at the end of December.  *They are NOT on the Last Chance list so they should be available for awhile!

  Below is the video I made for this card and another super quick fun fold card. Both of these make great use of your designer paper!  I hope you watch and make some.
