I hope you’ve been able to dive into Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. It’s “bee” utiful. Can you tell I’m loving the new Bee Mine Suite Collection. Find it beginning on page 8 of the catalog. The suite includes the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set, the coordinating Bee Builder Punch, Bee Mine 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper, Sweet Sorbet 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon, and the Adhesive-Backed Hearts and Flowers.
The playful bee images, combined with the sweet sentiments, make for perfect Valentine card creations. (But, if you ask me, pair this bee with our sentiments to use all year long.)
Today, I show you three samples using the products from this suite. Enjoy!

Card 2
The card above features a favorite layout: using three strips of Designer Series Paper measuring 1 1/2 x 3 3/4 Do you notice the new circle die? That’s a piece from the Everyday Details Dies. I love how it layers so nicely on the Stylish Shape Circle.
Card 3
And, finally, the card above also sports a simple layout that shows off the whimsical Designer Series Paper. I used three different patterns from the package to create this card.
- Thick Basic White Card Stock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored and folded at 4 1/4
- Yellow Designer Series Paper Layer measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
- Red Designer Series Paper layer measuring 3 1/4 x 4 1/2

Again, I added the new circle die cut from the Everyday Details Dies.
