Bee My Valentine sneak peak projects! With a free project sheet

There's a new bundle coming in January with the 2024 Spring catalog!  It's called 'Bee My Valentine' and it's super fun!

Save

I LOVE the builder punch and how versatile it is.  The large heart shape is for the wings, but could be used as a heart too. The small heart works on it's own or for the antenna. The bee body could be a word bubble!

We made this adorable card at a recent Team gathering called OnStage @ Home. 

Save

The colors include Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Black & White. The bee wings are made from our Vellum cardstock, colored with Pool Party ink by pressing the ink pad directly to the paper. I heat set the color with a heat tool before I stamped the wings in Black. Vellum does not absorb ink quickly so heat setting with a heat tool can be necessary.

You can spy a few new products here – the Bee Mine designer paper (side strips) and the new Poppy Parade ribbon. 

I made a bunch of them to use as thank you cards:

• More swaps from my talented Demo friends

  November 20, 2024

  ---

  I have a few more swaps to share with you today.  These are all from our newest Online Exclusive products. 

  First up is a pretty floral card from Susan Campfield. She used the Happy Hibiscus bundle. 

  Save

  This bundle includes a Hybrid embossing folder that includes dies that coordinate with the folder!  It's so cool. You can see it here in my store. 

  In the photo below you can see the die-cut images that are textured. This is done when the die is inserted into the embossing folder with the card stock.  Yes; it is incredible! 

  Save

  The next few cards feature the Marbled Elegance suite: 

  This first pretty card is made by Natalie Travis who made the focus of her card that gorgeous golden stitched heart. 

  Save

  That pretty heart is die-cut with the Hearts of Elegance dies from our new Brushed Metallic paper in both Gold & Silver. See that here. 

  Her measurements are simple – the DSP is 4" X 3", a strip of Cherry Cobbler is 4 1/4" X 5/8" on a Pretty in Pink card base. 

  Next is a gorgeous card made by Sandy Carlson:

  Save

  Her colors are Melon Mambo with White and the same beautiful Marbled Elegance specialty DSP. She also used the new Hearts of Elegance bundle seen here.

  Thanks for stopping in.  I hope you're been enjoying the swaps I've shared.

• Check out these swap cards from the Otterly Amazing Suite!

  Two punched circles and a 3 1/2" square of DSP show off the elements in this Otter suite. The colors include Balmy blue, Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Early Espresso.  

  ~~~

  This second swap with the Otterly Amazing suite is made by Tracy Jacobs. 

  Save

  She created a fun fold by cutting up to the 5 1/2" score line at 1". That layer is adhered to the back of the card base so only the left card front opens. Simple but 'amazing' too!  It really shows off the playful scenes in the Otterly Adorable DSP.  See the DSP here. 

  Below is the bundle with the stamps & dies:

  See this Otterly Amazing bundle here.  Many of the images in the DSP can be cut out with the Otterly Amazing dies.

  You can see the entire suite here.

• New! Perfect Pairs stamp set

  November 18, 2024

  I joined an online swap with my Demonstrator friends and knew you'd like to see them. They feature our newest Online Exclusive products. 

  Did you know they are releasing new products online every 2 months?!!

  First up I'm sharing cards from the Perfect Pairs stamp set. This one was made by my sweet & fun friend Selene Kempton: 

  Save

  What a cute layout! She used Crumb Cake with Petal Pink and Early Espresso. The White square is 2 1/2" and the other two are 2 3/4". Sweet & simple! The embossing folder is Dashing Designs from the Annual Catalog.

  Here's a picture of this cute stamp set – it's in the newest Online Exclusives. See it here.

  Next is another sweet card using this stamp set made by Kay Cogbill. 
  

  Save

  She added elements from the Marbled Elegance suite seen here – also brand new in our Online Exclusives. The gold foil specialty DSP is absolutely gorgeous! 

  I'll share more swaps tomorrow!
