Sending Some Sunshine with Winnie the Pooh + VIDEO
This card is all about sending some sunshine with a little help from this sweet Winnie the Pooh stamp set by Unity Stamp Company. I used a fun fold die set with a little alteration to create a more standard layout. It’s a simple change, making card assembly easy while keeping the design fun. Check out the video for Copic coloring tips and putting that fun fold die set to good use!

Sending Some Sunshine
There’s something heartwarming about Winnie the Pooh gazing up at a sunflower. The fun fold die set usually creates a more interactive card with a cut tab to hold the card close. I decided to cut that tab off for a more traditional card fold that is still fun! The mix of the cozy plaid paper, a rustic twine bow, and the “Sending some sunshine” sentiment creates a card that’s both cheerful and comforting—perfect for brightening anyone’s day.
What Makes This Card Special:
- Fun Fold with a Twist: Instead of using the fun fold die set as intended, I cut off the tab fold to create a standard card base. This keeps the card simple but still allows for easy layering with the included dies. You don’t have to think about measuring for perfect layers!
- Layered Patterns: The plaid patterned paper on the inside adds a cozy contrast to the clean, bright image on the front. It’s a simple way to add texture and interest without overwhelming the design.
- Finishing Touches: A little string bow at the top ties everything together (literally!) and gives the card a rustic, handmade feel.
- Copic Coloring: Bring Pooh to life with some alcohol marker coloring.
- Ink blended Background: Finish off the sky and ground with an ink blend of Distress ink: Tumbled Glass and Bundled Sage.
- Solid Inside Panel: This inside panel is the perfect place for your personalized message. Either stamp a message or write your own!
