I was a little worried because the last time I brought this bee with me to a tea party he didn't BEE-have. He stung Dawn on her backside. So I wasn't sure I was going to bring him. I decided that if I brought lots of flowers that might keep him busy enough to keep him out of trouble.
I made another trifold pocket card. I changed it up a little. I still have 2 pockets, but I added a little notepad to the right of the pockets. I am getting ready to do a stamping fellowship at my church for all the girls 2nd grade through High School. I have been looking for ideas of projects to do. I think that this little trifold pocket card would be something that they would like and would keep them busy for the 3 hours we are together.
I made the paper hibiscus on the outside of the card. I stamped the Autumn leaves flower inside. I masked the flowers and stamped a leaf from a Changito jungle set that I have. To make the little notebook, I folded sheets of typing paper inside a piece of cardstock. I then stapled them to the trifold card along the spine of the notebook.
I brought a total of 7 bees. I am hoping that 7 is a lucky number today. I can't wait to get a taste of Sabrina's bread and honey. Come check out the fun. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

I like that adorable little bee. Are you sure he stung Dawn? I thought that unlike wasps, bees usually died after they stung someone. And I think that hibiscus is so lovely. I thought about trying the tri-fold again today, but flew off in another direction instead. I like whatever your bee is wearing on his wings.

I can't believe this innocent looking bee would do anything but gather nectar.
This is one beautiful card. I am lucky to get a regular card finished and here you make a tri fold! I am impressed.
