Bee Mine Valentine Card

Isn’t the bumblebee the cutest?! Today’s card features the Bee My Valentine Bundle and the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper from the Stampin’ Up! Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. I’m using it as a Valentine’s card but the sentiment works for other occasions too. Perhaps as a fun anniversary card or just a way to express love. The cheerful Bee Mine Designer Series Paper provides the perfect background for the card. You’ll notice that the sentiment is cut with the Heart Punch…unfortunately after using, I realized the punch is retired. However if you don’t have a heart punch or a heart die, a circle punch or other shape to cut around the sentiment will work great.

Do you want to recreate the card? The cut dimensions for the cardstock and Bee Mine Designer Series Paper, as well as, an assembly video are below to make it convenient for you!

Cut Dimensions for the Bee Mine Valentine Card:
  • Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 11″, score/fold at 5-1/2″ (card base)
  • 3″ x 4″ Bee Mine Designer Series Paper: (3) 1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″; coordinating panel: 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″
  • Basic White Cardstock: 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″; 4″ x 5-1/4″ (interior)
  • Daffodil Delight Cardstock: scrap for bee
  • Petal Pink Cardstock: scrap for wings
ASSEMBLY VIDEO

As you notice, this cheerful card is simple to assemble! And the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper is the perfect backdrop. The card is a project from the January 2024 Monthly Card Class. You can find information on classes and Class Kits To Go at this link.

Joy Of Noel Holiday Card

It’s time to prepare holiday cards and today’s project features the Joy of Noel Stamp Set from the Stampin’ Up! Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog.  The Joy Of Noel Holiday card is a simple, beautiful card. Even better, the design uses the “one sheet wonder” technique!  You stamp on a full sheet of cardstock and then cut to create four panels for cards.  This enables you to create four cards in one quick swoop!  If you’re not familiar with this stamping technique, it’s demonstrated in the assembly video below.

One quick note…If you don’t currently own this stamp set (or the Joy of Noel Bundle with the coordinating dies), order soon! The set is being retired!

Joy of Noel Holiday Card Cut Dimensions:
  • First cut of stamped/colored Thick Basic White Cardstock: 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″

Abundant Beauty Sunflowers Cards

Have you tried the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks yet? In this month’s All About Autumn card class, the decorative masks were used to create beautiful Abundant Beauty Sunflowers cards. There are four different masks for creating the sunflower. What’s great is that each mask is numbered so you use each in order to layer the ink colors. In addition to the numbers, there is a notch in each of the masks. This makes it easy to ensure proper alignment. In the assembly video, you’ll see how easy it is to use the masks. When designing the card, I couldn’t stop at just one! So two sunflower card samples were created using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. Splotches have been stamped onto the card on the left using a stamp from the Color and Contour Stamp Set. Which do you prefer?

Abundant Beauty Sunflowers Cards Cut Dimensions:
  • Pecan Pie Cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 11″ (score/fold at 5-1/2″); scrap piece for punched sentiment layer
  • Crumb Cake Cardstock: 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
  • Very Vanilla Cardstock: 2 pieces 4″ x 5-1/4″; scrap for punched sentiment layer

Assembly Video for the Abundant Beauty Sunflowers Cards

The Abundant Beauty Masks includes three additional decorative masks.  This offers more creative options to make gorgeous card background panels.
