Bee My Valentine Bundle by Stampin Up
It’s so much fun to dive into the sweet world of expressing affection and love through card crafting. The Bee My Valentine Bundle by Stampin Up is not just for Valentine’s Day; it’s a fantastic tool for conveying your love year-round. The Bee Builder Punch and the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set offer endless possibilities to craft a unique ‘I love you’ card.
This is a Two-Step Stamping set, one of my favorite types of sets. It allows you to layer two or more images to create one final image with extra texture and dimension in the colors you want. Whether you’re reaching out to a significant other, a family member, or a dear friend, this Bundle helps you create a card that’s as heartfelt as your message. Let’s explore how these tools can bring your loving sentiments to life in a beautiful, handcrafted card.

- Using Black Memento ink, stamp the stripes and face onto the body. Punch out using the Bee Punch that comes in the Bundle.
- Using the same scrap of cardstock, stamp the wings using Black Memento ink. Ink up the large single heart using Pool Party ink, stamp off once on your scratch paper, and stamp inside the wings. Color in using Wink of Stella. Punch out the wings using the Bee Punch. Adhere the wings to the back of the bee body and set aside.
- Using the Bee Mine Paper, stamp the sentiment in the lower left corner using Black Memento ink. Stamp the trail as shown in the sample using the same ink. Adhere the Bee Mine Paper to the Sweet Sorbet paper and adhere to the card front.
- Using the bee from Step #5, adhere to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals so that it matches up with the black bee trail.
