I love to create one sample of the cards as the directions indcate. Then I like to add inventory from my crafte room and create alternatives. Here is what I created.

Below I listed the supplies I used to create this Bendy Card. Feel free to create your Bendy Card.

Stampin” Up  Supplies

    From the kit

  • (2) 4” x 2-½” Basics Beige. Cut from an envelope in the kit.
  • (4) 3-¾” x 2-¼” pieces of the inside of the envelope. It is the Olive Green with the herb print.
  • The stamp set from the kit
  • 2 pieces of leaf ephemera 
  • Tear & tape

From my inventory:

  • A 4-¼” x 5-½” piece of Basic White card stock. Scored at 2-¾”
  • A 4-½” x 2-¼” piece of basic white. Score at ½”, 2-¼” and 4”. 
  • A 6-½” x 1-¼” strip of Basic White Card stock. Score at ½” and 6”.
  • Granny Apple ink
  • Melon Mambo ink 
  • Acrylic blocks
  • Multipurpose glue
  • A  ¾” x 5-½” strip of Pretty in Pink card stock 
  • (2) 3” x 1-½ pieces of Basic White card stock
  • Bone folder

Assemble

  • The 4-¼” x 5-½” after you’ve  scored becomes your card base. With your bone folder crisp the fold.
  • Then with multipurpose glue adhere the  3-¾” x 2-¼” pieces of the olive green print from the inside one of the envelopes, onto the  4” x 2-½ pieces of Basic Beige. 
  • Adhere one of these layers to each side of the inside of your card base.
  • Adhere the remaining two layers to each of the sides of the outside of your card base.
  • Take the  4-½” x 2-¼ piece of Basic White and fold along the score lines. 
  • With the Granny Green ink and the chives stamp, stamp on either side of the middle scoreline.
  • Then with the Melon Mambo ink and the bloom stamp, stamp some blooms on the chives you just stamped.
  • With the tear & tape that was in your kit, place some tape on each sides between the edge and the fold line.
  • Place this  4-½” x 2-¼ onto the card base. Make sure the fold line that is in the middle of this strip is lined with the  fold line of the card base.
  • Holding the middle folds together fold back the edges that have tear & tape and adhere. You have created the middle decorative element.
  • Now adhere the ¾” x 5-½” strip of Pretty in Pink cardstock between the score lines of  the 6-½” x 1-¼” strip of Basic White Card stock.
  • Place a strip of Tear & tape on the edges of this 6-½” x 1-¼” . The tape should fit nicely between the edge of the cardstock and the scored line.
  • Fold back the score lines and adhere this long strip to the bottom edges of the inside of the card base.
  • With the ephemera decorate the strip.
  • You can decorate the outside of the card. I stamped some chives on a piece of Basic White and adhered onto the layered panel that would be seen when the card is closed. 
  • I adhered a piece of Basic white to the back of the card  for a message.
