A big high five to my husband Tim. He helped me to unpack the boxes of new Jan-April 2024 Mini Catalogs & 2024 Sale-a-Bration Brochures, label them, stuff them into envelopes, seal them, address them, and send them off in mail in just two days time! If you requested a catalog from me, it’s on its way. New products are debuting in those pages along with new creative inspiration for all of us paper crafters. So fun!

One of my favorite new collection of products is the Bee Mine Suite which includes the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set, the Bee Builder Punch, the Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon, the Square Pillow Boxes, the Hearts & Flowers embellishments, and the Bee Mine 12×12 Designer Paper. Stampin’ Up! demonstrators get to order early. And when I got my hands on these items, I created several project right away.

Today I’m sharing a set of six simple cards that show off the paper, the ribbon, the embellishments, and the stamp set sentiment images. Because these products are not available for everyone yet, you will not be able to view them in the online store. But I have included the names and order numbers in my Product List at the end of my post so that you can find them come January 4th.

Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Measurements for each card

• Basic White Cardstock
  • 4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
• Bee Mine Designer Paper
  • 4” x 4” cut into two pieces: 2-3/4″ x 4″ and 1-1/4″ x 4″
• Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon
  • 14″

Here are the six individual cards. Each one uses a different 4″ x 4″ piece of designer paper from the pack cut into two pieces (with one flipped over).

So the paper patterns you see on each card show the front and back of each sheet. I didn’t mix up the papers.

There are seven sentiment stamps in the stamp set. The only one I didn’t use on the front of these six cards is the “Happy Valentine’s Day” image. It could certainly be stamped on the inside of each of these cards though.

Did you also notice that I used almost every variation of embellishment? I think I only left out the pink flowers.

But if you were making sets of these cards to give as gifts and making the most of all your products, you could certainly change up which embellishments you were putting on each card so you wouldn’t have a ton of one left over.

In a couple days I plan to share an adorable gift box I made using more products from this suite (including the pillow boxes and the punch).

Thanks for stopping today! Did you want to see more?
