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!

Happy Valentine’s Day! Today, I am sharing Valentine surprises that I received this week.
The first surprise is a beautiful card! A dear friend, Jamie, sent a Valentine card combining the Sale-a-Bration Little Ladybug with the Heartfelt Bundle. The recent coordination product release features the Ladybug Dies so she was able to cut the ladybug easily. Look closely at the card. After stamping and coloring the flower, she texture embossed using the Subtles Embossing Folder. Just the simple use of the embossing folder changes the entire card appearance. Plus touches of Wink of Stella adds a little extra shimmer. Below is a closer look…
And now for some treat holders…
Playtime with Paper team member, Linda cut Designer Series Paper using the Mini Curvy Keepsake Dies. Notice the embellishment on the treat holder. She cut Real Red cardstock with the Stitched Be Mine Dies and then cut a stitched Valentine for the sentiment using the same dies. And to go with the sentiment she made a honey bee embellishment using Shrinky Dink Plastic. The Honey Bee Bundle provides the honey bee stamp and the Detailed Bee Dies. Simply stamp the bee onto the Shrinky Dink, cut with dies and shrink using heat. So cute! and great to remember when wanting to make different embellishments.
Mary Pat, another Playtime with Paper team member, also made a treat holder. Utilizing the Stitched Nested Labels Dies, she was able to create a pocket the perfect size for nesting a Ghiradelli Chocolate Square. Real Red cardstock is cut with one of the larger dies. Two designs of the From My Heart Designer Series Paper are also cut. One piece to use as the wrap to create the pocket and one cut with a slightly smaller die to layer on the Real Red cardstock label. For embellishing the front of the pocket, the Heart Doily is layered with a heart cut in the From My Heart Designer Series Paper using the Heart Punch.
Receiving the Valentine Surprises was unexpected but greatly appreciated!

Welcome to 2020! It’s January, a New Year, and to celebrate we have a fantastic New offer for you! It’s the launch of our 3D Tutorial Bundle! Today, we’re celebrating with a blog hop! In addition to the 3D Tutorial Bundle, we’re each sharing a second project created using the same stamp set or bundle that has been used in our Tutorial Bundle Project. The theme for this month is Valentine’s Day.
The projects designed for the 3D tutorial bundle aren’t available elsewhere online. Therefore, you’ll receive EXCLUSIVE projects in the tutorial bundle. In addition, you’ll receive both Imperial and Metric project measurements.
By the way, have you checked out the amazing line up of designers for this round? Yes, they are pretty amazing and talented Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators!
Time for a Sneak Peek of the projects created for the month of January:
If you want to see the full projects and receive the tutorials for each, you will need to get the 3D Tutorial Bundle.
It was so much fun creating with the Honey Bee Bundle that I decided to create a quick and easy note card to use for Valentine’s Day. I am in love with the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper! It is a Sale-a-bration FREE item so you can get it with an order of $50 or more (before taxes & shipping). Check out the card photo below. How cute is the Designer Series Paper?!
Cover the front of a note card with the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper. Then stamp sentiment using Real Red Classic Stampin’ Pad onto a strip of Whisper White cardstock. The sentiment is from the Wiggle Worm Stamp Set in the Annual Catalog. Cut the sentiment using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. A piece of Gold Foil Sheet is also cut using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. Attach the Gold Foil stitched rectangle to the card front and layer the sentiment atop the gold foil using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp Happy Valentine’s Day from the Meant to Be Stamp Set to the card interior with the Real Red ink.
To complete the card, add Real Red Basic Rhinestones to each side of the sentiment. With the honey bee from the Honey Bee Stamp set, stamp two bees onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock using Memento Black ink. Cut the honey bees using the coordinating Honey Bee Dies. Attach one of the honey bees to the card front (refer to photo for placement) and one to the card interior. Tie a knotted bow using a piece of the 3/8″ Real Red Ribbon and attach to sentiment layer using mini glue dots. Also, don’t forget the envelope!
