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!

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.

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:

• Peaceful Poppies; easy cards!

  January 6, 2020

  ---

  The new Peaceful Poppies designer series paper is gorgeous with bright, pretty colors and lots of poppies!  There's one sheet in particular that makes it super easy to make quick, floral cards. Click here to see it in my store.

  It's the sheet of paper on the far left above.

  I cut the paper at 5 1/2" across and above the flowers.  Then into 3" strips.  Now I have 8 panels of flowers ready for cards!  

  I made two cards here adding a 1" X 5 1/2" strip of Poppy Parade on the left and a white punched border using the Decorative Ribbon Border punch. The cards are Old Olive cut at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2" 

  Save

  The greetings are from the new Sale-a-Bration set 'Sending you Thoughts' on page 11 of that catalog.  You can see it here. The punch they're stamped on is the Timeless Label punch seen here.  

  You might wonder where I found that pretty crinkled Poppy Parade ribbon. It's the new 1/4" White crinkled ribbon that I colored Poppy with my Dark Poppy Parade blends.  I LOVE being able to color my ribbon the exact color I need for my projects!  

  Check out all of the Sale-a-Bration items here; remember you get a free choice for every $50 or $100 you spend!

• Snowman Peek-a-Boo card with video

  January 3, 2020

  ---

  This interactive card is fun& adorable and my gals loved it at our December club events.  

  They were anxious that it would be difficult.  There is a little trick to it but once you 'get it' you'll find it's pretty easy. 

  Save

  I cased this card from my very creative friend, Julie Davison.  Her style is simple yet fun.  Her layouts are the best!

  My color scheme came from the Let it Snow specialty designer paper from the Holiday catalog.  Unfortunately that paper is out of stock.  It was VERY popular!  It's Coastal Cabana, Real Red, White and Black.

  Here's a pretty card I made for a recent online swap I participated in.  It features the Thoughtful Blooms and Small Bloom punch on pages 12 & 13 of the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  I love it when SU gives us coordinating stamps and punches!

  My colors are Blushing Bride, White and Granny Apple Green.  I used the new Coastal Weave embossing folder from the Mini catalog, the Stitched Nested Label dies too. 

  I curled the little petals up with my bone folder and added the Gingham Gala adhesive-backed sequins to the center.
