2 more Bee My Valentine projects with free project sheets & video

We made these projects at a recent Stampin' Up! event called OnStage@Home. A virtual event filled with fun and demonstrations.

This first card is bright & colorful.  Lively & fun.

The stamp set is photopolymer so I could bend the normally straight greeting  into a curve!  The colors are Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade, black and a bit of Pool Party.  I made a bunch to use as thank you cards.

Next is another card featuring Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Black and Petal Pink. The designer paper is separated by a strip of card stock and used as the greeting layer. Neat idea!

This bundle comes out in the 2024 Spring catalog in early January. Demonstrators can pre-order it in December. We're grateful for a chance at upcoming products early!

• Freestyle Creativity with ephemera & leftovers!

  April 18, 2025

  ---

  Have you ever gathered some of your extra die-cuts and layers and just played?  We did this at my Team Meeting this weekend and they loved it!  

  I put out lots of extra die-cuts and layers plus the Fully Flowering and Greetings for All ephemera plus the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes and they had fun making their style of cards.  These are mine:

  Here are each of them below.  The left two include some ephemera and the right two feature dies and greetings I had on hand. 

  Save

  I found that layering dies and ephemera onto another layer like the white die-cut above or the Lemon Lolly & Black DSP layers below helps anchor them. 

   

  Save

  The colors in the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes are Balmy Blue & Bubble Bath.  Nice soft colors you can accent easily.

  See these pretty cards & envelopes here.  

  Save

  The cards above & below feature a bunch of dies I had on hand. Above includes Basic Beige and Gold. 

  The card below includes Basic Gray & Pretty Peacock.

  I hope you're encouraged to try making cards using your leftovers.

• 3 new kits by Stampin’ Up! now available in the store

  April 17, 2025

  ---

  Stampin' Up! released 3 new kits in their substantial Kit Collection this month.  Two are cards and one is a beautiful bouquet of paper flowers.  

  Save

  You can find each of these kits and many more on this link.  Even though I am an experienced crafter I love working with kits.  It's a lovely break from thinking and planning.  But if I want to be creative I can still jazz up the kits. 

  Save

  My favorite is the Paper Bouquet kit.  I ordered two – one for my daughter for Mother's Day.  What a perfect gift!
