Today's project features an easy accent fold for your handmade cards. This design was created for our monthly Stars Team Meeting for a Mystery Stamping session. Although simple in design, it's a sweet alternative to a traditional fold for a card.
Here is the recipe and the only details that were given to the Stars Team before our virtual gathering on Zoom:

Today's project is a Stampin' Up! Honeybee Home gift idea. This one has been in my "pocket" for a while and life has been so busy, that it is delayed here on the blog.
If you have been following me for a while, you know that this is a favorite gift idea of mine and this crafter is always on the lookout for cute tea towels or kitchen towels that coordinate with our stamps and dies. Stampin' Up! is fabulous at staying on trend so these usually are very easy to find!
Here's the quick video how-to for today's gift project...
Stampin' Up! Honeybee Home Gift Idea
Lisa's Inklings:
Cut your paper for your "tag" so that it complements the towel. On this one, the patterned paper is cut 3-1/4 " square, and the coordinating card stock is 3-1/2" square.
You can use ribbon, twine, or jute to thread through the punched holes.
Notice how the flowers extend beyond the tag? You are not confined to that space. Think outside of the box!
Here are the supplies that are currently available used on this project...
There are so many ways to use your paper crafting supplies to make a simple gift extra special. Use this Stampin' Up! Honeybee Home gift idea as inspiration to create your own DIY gift idea then share it with us over on Ink and Inspirations Stampers on Facebook!
Last week's Premiere featured two masculine birthday cards with the new Stampin' Up! Here's the Man Suite. You will love this group of products and if you struggle with masculine-themed cards, this is for you!
Here's the recording of the video from the Premiere.
Masculine Birthday Cards with Stampin' Up! He's the Man
Lisa's Inklings: -For the diagonal cut on the He's The Man 12" X 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper [159068], upper left to the lower right of two prints. It's easiest if one of the prints does not have specific directionality. -For the fun fold, cut your card stock 4-1/4 x 11. Score at 5-1/2 and cut 3" off of what will be the front of the card.
What an easy fun fold card! Just change the orientation of a piece cut from the front.
The card front covers the inside layer of the card. Here, two scrap strips of patterned paper were used on the Basic White piece.
This sentiment could be used for a birthday card, congratulatory card, or graduation card. There is no sentiment stamped on the inside so that it can be customized later for the occasion.
Each time you place an order through my online store, it supports my business and allows me to continue sharing! If you do not have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I would be honored and grateful to serve as yours.

On Friday February 11, 2022, my dear friend's (Alicia) 16 year old son, Carlos, went into the ER for abdominal pain and after a CT scan showing swollen lymph nodes and abnormal lab work, he was transferred to Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston.
After a biopsy, bone marrow biopsies and lumbar puncture, Carlos was diagnosed with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. He has overcome many hurdles and is doing better but he has been at Texas Children’s since that day in February.
During the month of June, I will be donating the proceeds from my Stampin’ Up! sales to the Rodriguez family. Please know that with each order you place from me, you are helping this sweet family during this very difficult time. Thank you so much!

Here's a birthday card made with the Artfully Layered Bundle and a vellum tip. The summery, tropical feel of this card is nice for late spring and summer birthdays here in North America.
When using vellum, you have to be a little sneaky with your adhesive so that it doesn't show through the other side. In this short video on YouTube, you can see how the placement of the greenery hides the adhesive.
Click the image below to view the video on YouTube.
Here are some details/ dimensions for this card:
The card stock base is 4-1/4 x 11;scored at 5-1/2.
The designer paper is cut 3-3/4 x 4.
The vellum is cut at 3-3/4 x 4 backed by Basic White in the same color.
