Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Sneak Peek

Good Morning! Last weekend Stampin’ Up! had the On Stage At Home event, celebrating demonsrators’ achievements, Stampin’ Up!’s 35th Anniversary and introducing the upcoming January – April 2024 Mini Catalog. And we made Valentine cards with the new Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine bundle that will be available when the new mini catalog launches on January 4, 2024. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

Stampin’ Up! demonstrators who attended the virtual event were able to purchase the Bee Mine suite early so we could participate in the craft along part. This included the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine bundle, Bee Mine designer series paper, Sweet Sorbet bordered ribbon, and adhesive backed flowers and hearts. These are my versions of the sample cards we made and I made some changes to personalize the cards.

The first card uses the honeycomb stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set and Daffodil Delight ink to give texture to a Daffodil Delight panel. I embossed it with the dots embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Daffodil Delight card base. I adhered two panels of Bee Mine DSP and stamped the bee in Daffodil Delight and Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White. I punched the bee out with the Bee Builder Punch and assembled the bee with liquid glue before popping it on the DSP with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet ink on Petal Pink and adhered some ribbon to the back with glue dots before adhering it to the card with dimensionals. I finished with some flower and heart embellishments.

For our second card, I adhered some Bee Mine DSP to a Basic White panel. I stamped the bee trail from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set in stamped off Pool Party ink on a Pool Party panel and the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black. I adhered the panel to the layered DSP panel and popped it on the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the bee in Daffodil Delight and Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I stamped the antenna in Memento Tuxedo Black and the wings in Pool Party. I used a water painter to give the wings a quick Pool Party color wash before cutting everything out with the Bee Builder Punch. I assembled the bee with liquid glue and popped it on the card with dimensionals. I finished with the pretty hearts and flowers embellishments.

Here are the insides of the cards. I stamped the sentiments, hearts and flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine bundle in Sweet Sorbet, Petal Pink, Lemon Lime Twist and Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White panels. I adhered the panels to the inside of the cards with Stampin’ Seal.

It was fun to play with new products and these cards are sweet and relatively easy to make. The Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set has so many different sentiments and designs, so it’s pretty versatile! Here’s the bundle with the stamp set and punch.

It was great to see and play with the new products that will be available on January 4, 2024 when the new mini catalog launches. January will be exciting with so many pretty new items! But now I need to get back to Christmas cards!
