02.14.24…..Hey there, and Happy Valentine’s Day, my stampin’ friends! I just love the tiny hearts and the little daisy dies that are in the Around the Bend Dies! And then…..I decided to combine them with one of the branch dies from the Textured Floral Dies. The heat-embossed sentiment is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set. I think it’s always fun to combine dies and stamps like this, and it gives your products more versatility as well. Hope this card inspires you to create a card or project with a combination of some of your favorite dies and stamps!

02.06.2024…..Happy Tuesday, my stampin’ friends! I’ve been having so much fun playing with products from the adorable Bee Mine Suite…..from the Stampin’ Up! January – April 2024 Mini Catalog! And…..today, I wanted to create something a little unexpected with Bee Builder Punch from that suite. First, I added Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sorbet to some Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. I then used the large heart from the Bee Builder Punch to create the “Love You” card, and the bee part of the punch to create flower petals for the “Sweet” card. Hope these cards inspire to try something fun and unexpected with this suite, too!

02.04.2024…..Happy Sunday, my stampin’ friends! I’ve been having so much fun playing with products from the adorable Bee Mine Suite…..from the Stampin’ Up! January – April 2024 Mini Catalog! I’ve also had lots of scraps left from the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper. So….. since one of my favorite things to do is make 3″ x 3″ cards, these four little cards were a no-brainer! Hope these 3″ x 3″ cards inspire you create some fun, colorful projects with some of your leftover bits and pieces, too!
