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!

That being said, I’m now a bit obsessed with this color combo, and I decided to create some gift tags as well. Hope these cards inspire you to create some fun, colorful projects with this super versatile suite!
