by Tracy | Jan 31, 2024 | Hello Card
I love the little bees in the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper. When I was teaching elementary school, the slogan in my classroom was “Bee the Best You Can Be” so this paper is right up my alley! I still have the cute bee stuffed animals that I had in my classroom which are now in my craft room. Seriously, you can’t help but smile when you look at this paper.
My card today was one of the cards in my Blueberry Bunches Card Sampler which were mailed out yesterday. I also used the Blueberry Bunches stamp set, Everyday Details Dies and Linen Thread.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut three pieces of Bee Mine Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front of the card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List).
I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread twice around the front of the card and then tied a bow. I stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Blueberry Bunches. I cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies, added a Stampin’ Dimensional to the top and bottom of the sentiment so it would lay flat over the Linen Thread and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. I don’t normally do this when I have a Thick Basic White base but it gives it some extra added bulk to the card. It’s purely optional.

Today’s card is one that was included in my Perennial Lavender Card Sampler several weeks ago. It features the Perennial Postage stamp set, Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP), Thoughtful Expressions Dies, Fern 3D Embossing Folder and Iridescent Foil Gems.
I started with a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock and embossed it using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. Before adhering the embossed cardstock to the card base, I added a strip of Lost Lagoon cardstock to the center. I cut two pieces of Pretty Peacock cardstock and two pieces of Perennial Lavender DSP and adhered them together and then adhered them to the card front.
I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Perennial Postage. I cut it out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three Iridescent Foil Gems to the front.

The card I’m sharing today was made with Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP), Notes of Nature stamp set, Thoughtful Expressions Dies and Gold Stampin’ Embossing Powder.
I started with a piece of Highland Heather cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a layer of Fresh Freesia cardstock and Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper.
I heat embossed my sentiment using the Notes of Nature stamp set and then cut it out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I cut a larger shape out of out Fresh Freesia cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image becomes shiny and beautiful!

Today’s card was created using the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder which includes an embossing folder and fourteen dies. I didn’t use the embossing folder for this card but I did use the dies. I also used Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper (a free gift you can choose if your order is $50 or more before shipping/tax during Sale-a-Bration), the Scalloped Contours Dies and the Bee My Valentine stamp set.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut a piece of Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper using the Scalloped Contours Dies and adhered it to the front of the card. Next, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies and set it aside.
Then I used the Adoring Hearts Dies to cut out three hearts out of Flight and Airy Designer Series Paper (I used two different designs) and a smaller heart out of Basic White cardstock. I have a picture below that shows the dies that come with the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder.
I stamped the sentiment onto the small Basic White heart using Flirty Flamingo ink and the stamp set, Bee My Valentine and then adhered it to the middle heart. I placed Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of each heart and adhered them to the Basic White rectangle. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the rectangle and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper rectangle.
