Lately, I’ve been completely enamored with the Bee Mine Suite, and let me tell you, these products are stealing my heart! The adorable bee punch has become an absolute favorite of mine, adding an irresistibly cute touch to my projects. Interestingly, this is the only Valentine set I opted for from the new mini catalog. With my kids all grown up, I find myself not creating as much for Valentine’s Day as I used to when they were in school. I fondly recall the days of crafting goody bags for both of their classes every year, and I must admit, I miss those heartwarming moments of spreading joy. However, diving into the Bee Mine Suite has rekindled my love for crafting, allowing me to infuse a bit of nostalgia into my projects while exploring new creative avenues. Sometimes, it’s the little details like a charming bee punch that bring back cherished memories and inspire fresh bursts of creativity.
The adoration I have for the Bee Mine Suite deepens with every crafting session, and one standout element for me is the delightful Designer Series Paper (DSP). Its charming patterns and vibrant colors make it a perfect choice for crafting not only Valentine’s cards but also versatile enough for spring and anniversary creations.
Recently, I crafted a swap card using this fantastic DSP, featuring the whimsical bee as the centerpiece. To add an extra layer of visual appeal, I incorporated the Radiating Stitches Dies for the two pieces on the front. These dies have become a go-to in my collection, offering versatile shapes that complement a variety of stamp sets. The intricate detailing of the lines created by these dies adds a unique touch to my projects.
What’s even more exciting is that these dies are part of the Online Exclusives section on the Stampin’ Up! website—a treasure trove of products not found in catalogs. This innovative concept has been a game-changer, with Stampin’ Up! regularly introducing new and exclusive items between catalogs. The Online Exclusives section continues to thrive in 2024, promising more surprises and creative possibilities.

Excitement levels are soaring as I share another creation from the Bee Mine Suite! I recently crafted this charming card during my latest Facebook Live session, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. I’ve dubbed it a “fun fold peekaboo card” for its playful design and easy-to-follow technique. The beauty of this project lies in its simplicity and the sheer joy it brings during the crafting process. If you’re eager to recreate this card, I’ve listed all the supplies used!
