BEEcause Christmas is Over!

-

 Christmas is over and so I can finally move on from Christmas cards and projects to something else...namely product debuting in just a few days. Yes, the Jan-Apr Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog and SALE-a-bration brochure are going live on January 4th and I'm so excited to share some of the products with you, including the Bee Mine Suite.



I've use the Bee My Valentine stamp set, the Bee Builder punch, the Square Pillow Boxes, Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon and the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers to quickly create tonight's project. All of these products are from the Bee Mine Suite, found on pages 8-9 of the Mini Catalog.

Directions

  1. Use a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink to add a light blue layer to the pillow box, giving the illusion that the bee is flying in the sky. If you are going to stamp on the box directly (I did not), do so now.
  2. Assemble the pillow box by folding on all the score lines, then adhering the ends together.
  3. Stamp the oval (bee's body) in Daffodil Delight ink onto a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock. 
  4. Stamp the stripes and stinger image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on top of the body that you just stamped. Add one of the faces in Black as well. Punch using the Bee Builder Punch.
  5. Punch the large heart from Petal Pink cardstock, then stamp the wings image in Petal Pink on it.
  6. Adhere wings to bee using a mini glue dot.
  7. Tie some Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon around the box and into a bow. Add the bee with dimensionals.
  8. Add some of the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers.
Watch the replay



Please note that I am unable to post the pictures of the list of products as I normally do because the mini catalog is not live at the time of this post.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right?

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
