Hello, friends! I am recovering from a surgery last week that requires some rest so I am out of my stamp room for a bit. I thought it might be fun to show you a few of the cards that were in my Busy Bee Bags over the last few months- not all of them- just a few so you can see what I design for them:) and perhaps try one! Here is one from the October 2024 Busy Bee Bag using the Layering Leaves Stamp Set and the Bough Punch. I included 8 card kits along with a 1/2 pack of the Garden Walk DSP, a full pack of Blooming Pearls, and a full pack of the Calypso Coral Braided Linen Twine. You can replace the Garden Walk Designer Series Paper with any kind you have on hand as the stamp and punch are current. It is one of my favorite bundles!

Here are the written instructions in the tutorial for this one card in the kit. There were three more card designs in this kit with written instructions, too.

1. Score card base at 4-1/4″ on the 8-1/2″ side to create a portrait card.
2. Cut a 3-3/4″ square from your chosen Garden Walk DSP. If you want one pattern showing, cut one piece. If you want two patterns showing, cut two patterns face up as seen left photo above and video for example.
3. Place the 3-3/4″ square on the paper trimmer and slide upper right corner over 3/4″ or 1″ (depending how much room you need for your sentiment) on the left side of the cutting groove. While it is in place, slide the bottom left corner to the right side of the cutting groove to that same measurement (3/4″ or 1″). See photo on right above.
4. Cut the DSP and adhere strips of Wild Wheat on the middle edges and adhere to the 4″ x 5-1/4″ white panel leaving a space to stamp the sentiment.
5. Stamp or add punched leaves to the side of the sentiment.
6. Stamp some leaves or add a strip of DSP to the inside of the bottom of the card.

Every Busy Bee Bag has a video and a PDF of the Written Instructions with photos included.
