Meant to Bee Matchbook Pop-Up Card

This is a card that we did at card club on Sunday. It is a matchbook, pop-up card. The layout idea was from Juli Baca but I used different stamps, cardstock, DSP, etc. It is such a fun card and technique. There are so many possibilities of different stamps set and cardstock you can use to make these fun cards.

Stamp Sets: Meant to Bee, Bee My Valentine

Cardstock: Petunia Pop, Basic White, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Vellum, Cute as Can Bee DSP

Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento, Petunia Pop, Daffodil Delight

Other: Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Bone Folder, Meant to Bee Dies, Bee Builder Punch, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Petunia Pop Ribbon. Wink of Stella

1. The base of the card is Petunia Pop cardstock cut at 3-3/4” x 9-1/4” and scored at 5-1/4”

2. The flap of the card is Petunia Pop cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 2-1/2” and scored at 1-1/4”. Attach the flap by adhering glue only to the inside of the back piece, not the front.

3. The DSP is cut at 3-1/2” x 4-1/4” for the front and for the flap it is cut at 1” x 4”.

4. For the inside: Cut Basic White cardstock at 3-1/2” x 9-1/4” and scored at 5”.

5. With the folded edge at the top of the Paper Trimmer, cut a ¾” slit at 1-1/2” and at 2”. Score at the base of the slit and use a Bone Folder to crease it evenly.

6. Ink up the sentiment “Love this Life” with Tuxedo Black Memento on the Basic White, but below the flap.

7. Ink up the sentiment “We are Meant to Bee” with Tuxedo Black Memento at the very bottom right. Ink up the heart with Petunia Pop and stamp by the sentiment.

8. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the back of the Basic White but making sure the scored line and the pop up (pops out) are in alignment with the fold.

9. Die-cut a Basic White hexagon with the Meant to Bee dies. Stamp the honeycomb from Bee My Valentine stamp with Daffodil Delight ink.

10. Die-cut the bees from Daffodil Delight and ink up their stripes/stinger with Tuxedo Black Memento. Ink up their faces with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Die-cut the wings from Vellum, the antennas from Basic Black cardstock.

11. Adhere to the body of the bees with Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Glue Dots. Adhere the large bee with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the hexagon. Adhere the smaller bee with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the left of the big bee.

12. Wrap ribbon around the Flap and tie in a bow. Add Wink of Stella to the bee’s wings on the DSP.
