Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.
Well, Tax Day (April 15, 2026) has come and gone for another year. Hope all of my American followers were able to get everything filed on time. I completed mine and even got a refund this year.
Now I can concentrate on getting my craft room reorganization done. I keep putting it off, but I definitely need a better system than what I have right now. I know where most things are but sometimes, I forget about things I bought since my system is not so streamlined. But my goal is to get all that changed this year.
Now onto my card for today. This one I created using the contents of the March 2025 Daisy Daydream Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin' Up. These kits give you everything you need to create at least 9 cards. What I like to do is create alternate designs from what the kit calls for.
This one is a fun fold card. It's called a Z-fold design. I used my own white card base and then took one of the printed card bases from the kit and cut it for designer paper.
The daisy images were the front of the base and I cut those to 1 7/8" x 5 1/4". The honeycomb images were the back of the card base and I cut that for my card inside at 4" x 5 1/4".
I cut 2 circle images and stamped then with honeycombs. The stamp set is also part of the kit. The bees and daisy images were also in the kit. To complete my card I added some yellow enamel dots.
For the card inside I added a honey pot. It's a die from CottageCutz.
Well, that's it for me for this post. So until next time.....God bless.
I am also entering:
1. Creative Creases has an anything goes with a fun fold design.
2. Cut it Up has a colors of Spring challenge using die cuts.
3. Craft Rocket Challenge #135 wants us to layer it up.
4. C.R.A.F.T. challenge is anything goes.

Mary, this is the sweetest birthday card! I love your special fold and those delightful daisies. Your design is a great way of making the kit your own. Happy you could play along at TicTacToe Challenge!
