My creative brain is just “buzzing” with all kinds of card-making ideas for Stampin’ Up!’s Bee My Valentine Bundle. The bee images and sentiments are just so whimsical — perfect for Valentine cards and beyond. Find this bundle in the brand-new January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. See this blog post for other super cute ideas to make your own Valentine cards.
Bee My Valentine Sweet as Honey
Today, I share a quick card idea using the bundle. Here are a few details about it:
Thick Basic White Card Stock Base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored and folded at 4 1/4
Daffodil Delight design from the Bee Mine 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Basic Black Card Stock die cut with the rounded edge from the Basic Borders Dies and embossed with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder (earn this and a coordinating stamp set free during SaleABration with a $100 order).
“You’re As Sweet as Honey” sentiment heat embossed in white on Basic Black Card Stock
Two bees created with the stamp set and coordinating Bee Builder Punch. I stamped the bee stripes with Memento Ink, then stamped the body with Daffodil Delight ink. You could save a step and stamp the bee stripes on Daffodil Delight or Crushed Curry Card Stock.
Punched the hearts with Vellum Card Stock to create the wings.
Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems (black)

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 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.
