Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Card

Good Morning! Here’s another Valentine’s Day card made with the sweet Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine bundle and the pretty Bee Mine designer series paper.  You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

My card design was inspired by the pretty sketch in Try A Sketch On Tuesdays # 639:

I adhered a panel of Bee My Valentine designer series paper to the front of a Sweet Sorbet card base. I cut another panel into thirds and adhered it to a Sweet Sorbet panel with Bee Tracks. I popped the layered panel onto the front of the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the bee from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set in Daffodil Delight and Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and punched it out with the Bee Builder Punch. I gave the bee red cheeks with my dark Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blend. I stamped the wings in Petal Pink and used the light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend to color the wings. I punched it out and adhered it to the back of the bee. I stamped the antenna and punched it out and adhered it to the back of the bee and adhered the bee to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the hello there sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Sweet Sorbet and used my paper snips to make a banner at one end. I adhered it to the card with glue dots. I finished the card by adding three Petal Pink hearts.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I stamped the hearts in Sweet Sorbet and the honeycomb in Petal Pink. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I’ve used the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine bundle to make most of my Valentines this year. It is so cute and so versatile.
