Here’s how to create a POSTCARD with the Bee Happy PUNCHERS:

1️⃣ Grab your patterned cardstock scraps.
2️⃣ Use the Bee Happy Square Puncher to punch 4 squares from a cardstock (Pattern A).
3️⃣ Then punch 5 squares from another cardstock (Pattern B).
4️⃣ Arrange and glue the squares on a plain cardstock.
5️⃣ Add your favorite sentiment.
6️⃣ Use the Bee Happy Stamp Puncher to cut out a cute image.
7️⃣ Glue this novelty stamp to your envelope.

And there you have it! 💌 Many thanks to Bee Happy Ambassador Marie of The Crafting Pinay for this quick tutorial.

Here’s how to create a POP-UP Birthday CARD:

1️⃣ Prepare smooth cardstock and score in the middle.

4️⃣ Using scissors, cut through all the lines.
5️⃣ Fold each part that's been cut.
