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:

• The pretty Citrus Blooms dies

  August 28, 2024

  ---

  While I was creating for my Live video projects I wanted to show off the pretty Citrus Blooms dies. 

  Save

  The colors include Night of Navy, White & Old Olive.  I added a small strip of the Mediterranean Blooms DSP under the Greeting of the Season white die-cut label.  See these dies here; you will love them! 

  You can see the two Citrus Bloom dies I used to create this White & Olive frame in the photo below.  I like that stitched die a lot; it can be used alone or with this leafy die. See the Citrus Bloom dies here.

  Below is a video where I share a few more ideas for the Mediterranean Blooms DSP.

• You’ll love this easy sketch idea for a quick & pretty card

  August 27, 2024

  ---

  On last week's Live video I focused on the pretty Mediterranean Blooms designer paper and this pretty color combination: 

  Save

  My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy, White & a touch of green in the pretty Mediterranean Blooms DSP.  It's on sale for a few more days! See it here. 

  The card base is 4 1/4"X 11" scored at 5 1/2". The Lemon Lolly is 4" X 5 1/4", DSP is 2" X 5 1/4", Navy strip 1/4" X 5 1/4" 

  Each month in my Flowerbug's Team we have an optional challenge that features a sketch of color combination. This is the current sketch and it inspired me to create this pretty card. 

  Save

  Card sketches are drawings or images that can help inspire your creativity. They're a starting point. Use the basic design and change it any way you'd like.  

  The greeting is from the Nested Essential dies seen here.  The pretty embossing folder on the Lemon Lolly layer is called Dashing Designs and can be seen here.

• A Pretty Diamond Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

  August 26, 2024

  ---

  This card fold looks a bit tricky but it is super easy to make!

  Save

  It features the beautiful Mediterranean Blooms designer paper. My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy & White.

  This card starts out at 11" X 4 1/4"; score at 5 1/2" & 8 7/8". 

  How did I get that square to pop up on the end?  Watch the video to see!  But basically you trim off the outer corners from the scored and folded end. 

  Save

  I fussy cut the lemon bunch from the designer paper. The Citrus Blooms bundle coordinates with this pretty DSP but I didn't use them here.  The greetings are from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set.

  Here's the inside view:
