Adoring Hearts Book Fold

February 19, 2024

Although Valentine’s Day may be over, the Adoring Hearts stamp set can be used for so much more. Weddings and Anniversaries immediately come to mind, but I’m sure there are many other occasions to use this set.

Adoring Hearts Bundle

This bundle includes the stamp set, dies and hybrid embossing folder. The stamp set has hearts and roses and several sentiments in a beautiful font that looks handwritten.

The hybrid embossing folder includes both dies and embossing folder, so you can not only cut and emboss, but even do both at the same time!

Adoring Hearts Book Fold

For my card, I used the embossing folder ONLY to create the hearts in the background. I used one of the dies to cut the Highland Heather heart and another to cut the three tiny hearts for embellishment.

Most Adored Designer Series Paper

This beautiful paper is double sided, with one side having beautiful gold foil accents and the other with pink and red. If you click on the picture above, you’ll be taken to my shopping site where you can see this beautiful paper in more detail.

Did You Know?

You can use your Blends to color this DSP!! That’s what I’ve done on the strip on the left of my card. Isn’t it beautiful?

And the best part? This gorgeous paper can be yours FREE with a $50 purchase (before s/t)!

More Fun with the Bee Mine Suite

January 24, 2024

I’ve been having so much fun with the Bee Mine Suite Collection! If you haven’t gotten this yet, it’s perfect for SO MUCH MORE than just Valentines!

Bee Mine Suite

I am in love with this suite ~ the stamps, the punch, the designer series paper, and the embellishments. The bright colors make this a welcome relief from the gloomy grays and browns outside my window this time of year. There are so many ways to use this set! I’m providing instructions for the first card, but you can easily adapt these supplies to make the other samples.

Card One

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of your card to coordinate with the front!

Measurements:

Petal Pink base card: 4¼” x 11”, scored at 5½”
Sweet Sorbet: scrap
Pool Party: scrap
DSP: 4” x 5¼”
Basic White: 4” x 5¼” for inside of the card
Petal Pink: small scrap for wings (cut 2)

Instructions:

1. Fold card base and adhere DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
2. Punch bee body from Daffodil Delight cardstock, stamp stripes in Memento black (extend stripes with black marker, if needed).
3. Stamp wings in Petal Pink, punch out two sets (heart shape).
4. Stamp sentiment on Pool Party and punch out using a heart punch or die of your choice.
5. Add Dimensionals to the back of the bee and the wings of the bee. Glue wings to the body.
6. Punch small heart from Sweet Sorbet, glue to the bee’s tummy and draw arms to hold the heart.
7. Before adhering the bee to the card, determine placement of bee and stamp or draw antennae on the DSP. Adhere the bee to the base card.
8. Adhere the Pool Party heart to the card and add a small red flower from the Adhesive Hearts & Flowers embellishment collection.
9. Stamp flowers on the Basic White and adhere inside the card.

Bee Mine Center Easel Fold

January 17, 2024

After a four-month hiatus, I’m back to teaching classes. It was so good to have all my friends back in my studio. I didn’t realize how much I would miss these classes. At January’s class we made a sweet Bee Mine Center Easel Fold card.

Bee Mine Suite Collection

If you haven’t seen the Bee Mine Suite Collection, you can find it on page 9 of the new January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. This suite comes with an assortment of beautifully coordinated products to make creating cute projects quick and easy. These products are also available individually as well.

Bee Mine Center Easel Fold

This is such an easy but impressive card fold and we had a lot of fun with it. The center easel pops up making it a cute card to display.

And, of course it folds flat for mailing, although I’d place a piece of cardstock or thin bubble wrap over it to protect it from the machines at the post office.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this fun card. Stay tuned for more projects using the Bee Mine Suite Collection.
