What's Up with all the BEES?

 Hi Stamping Friends.  

I have had a couple questions about the new Bee products in the Online Store and I thought I would take some time to show them all to you because they are so cute! There is some overlap with the older Bee My Valentine set from a year ago, but some big differences too.  


 The New Bee Products are all in the Online Only Scrapbooking Brochure.  They are so cute and I love the Die Set that was made to go with them.  One of the questions I got was "Do the new dies cut out the old bees?" Yes!  And does the Bee Builder Punch work with the new Meant to BEE stamp set? Yes! so you can get either stamp set and either cutting method, you just have to decide which you like best. The new Stamp Set 'Meant To Bee' has larger fonts, meant to work on larger Scrapbook pages as title or accents.  The older 'Bee My Valentine' has smaller font sizes, meant to work with card making. 


The original Bee My Valentine is adorable with a lot of pieces to build a really cute scene. I love that different faces that you can give your bee, particularly that side eye stamp at the top!  The sentiments are great for everyday, but with Valentine's Day around the corner, this is a good one to have. It costs $21 in the US.







The Bee Builder Punch is super cute and I really love the versatility. The bee body can also be a speech bubble! the hearts are for the wings and the smaller heart actually also punches out the antenna! This is a cute punch on it's own or with the stamps. The punch costs $24 in the US.  








The new Meant To Be stamp set has larger size sentiments, great for a scrapbook page but not too big for some cards too.  The largest bee is the same as the bee in the original stamp set, so it will work with the Bee Builder Punch. 







You can get the Meant to BEE stamps on their own, or pair them with the new Meant To BEE die set! I love that this die set has such large hexagon dies.  The scrapbook page pictured shows how you can use them for a large page layout.  I had to get the set just for the hexagons! The bees are a bonus since I already had the punch.  The bundle is $49.50 in the US.







The new Meant to Bee dies are also available on their own, so you can pair them with either stamp set.  The dies are $35 in the US.  If you already have the older Bee My Valentine, this is probably the way to go. 








The 'Cute as Can Bee' Designer Series Paper is just that, cute as can be!  It's been recolored for 2025 and instead of Poppy Parade, it now has Fresh Freesia!  I love the paper with the little jars of honey! so sweet!  This paper is $12.50 in the US.







Also available is the Meant To Bee Scrapbooking Workshop.  This kit contains everything needed to make 3 pre-designed double page 12x12 spreads.  There is a booklet with step by step cutting guides and photos of just how to put it all together. You will have lots of left over papers and die cuts to use on some card projects, or to go rouge on anther page.


Here are what the pre-designed pages look like. 

The Meant To Bee Scrapbooking Workshop kit costs $33 in the US.


If you love to scrapbook but don't want pre-designed pages, you can get the pattered paper and sticker sheet and get creative with some pages on your own. This pack contains 12 sheets of pattered paper, same as in the paper pack, but with an added 12x12 sticker sheet. 

The cost of the Cute As Can Bee paper and sticker sheet pack is $17 in the US.

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop



Hi everyone!  Today I am participating in a Global Blog hop with my Facebook Friends from the group Scrapbooking Global.  We are a group of Stampin' Up! enthusiasts who decided we needed a place to share our scrapbooking ideas or questions.  If you are interested in joining our group, I hope you do.  We have a challenge on Fridays to get your creativity flowing, and lots of photos in our gallery to give you ideas on how to use your Stampin' Up! products on your pages.   This is our First ever Blog Hop!  I hope you enjoy it and get some Scrapbooking inspiration!

I decided to use the Colorful Seasons bundle on my Blog Hop project because it is just such a great bundle for Scrapbookers!  The Bundle has images and dies for every season, and it is so pretty and versatile.
I love the pretty snowflakes and that there are three sizes.  The fall leaves, cherry blossoms and summer images will get a lot of use on my pages this year as well.












I started out by just cutting a variety of snowflakes.  I used Whisper White and Dapper Denim cardstock, as well as vellum.

I also used my Aqua Painter to make some that are multicolored.  I just painted some Dapper Denim ink onto some Whisper White cardstock, then cut the snowflakes out.  I love the random color I achieved on the snowflakes.

















I used a card from the Memories and More Color Theory Card Pack to add a title.  I used the 2 1/4 inch circle punch to cut just the sentiment out.  I layered some silver ribbon behind.
To add a touch more silver to the page I also added some rhinestones to the centers of some of the snowflakes.

With all those snowflakes and the card pack on my desk, I couldn't help but make a card as well.  I even used the card with the circle cut out as a layering piece behind my "Let it Snow" card!
I hope that you like the project I chose for this Blog Hop!  You can continue to follow along to the other blogs in the hop by clicking the Next button below!  I hope you find some inspiration for your scrapbooking!!  You can also join our Scrapbooking Global community on our Facebook Page.

Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper

Hi Everyone!
I was in charge of the weekly challenge today at Stampin' Up! Scrapbooking Global, a Facebook group for scrapbookers to get inspiration and share ideas.   Here is  my page.














I made the title with the Large Letters framelits dies.  I love these dies for scrapbook titles.












I added watercolor in Crushed Curry and Emerald Envy to a scrap of watercolor paper, then cut the letters out with the dies.


















The Labeler Alphabet is great for adding more to your titles or fun little quotes. I think this is a must have stamp set.  I always have a little (or big) bag of white scraps that are perfect for these little stamps.














 My favorite part of this page is the paper! I just love that Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper.  I used a larger strip of it to the right, and then cut out little bits of the pattern to add cute accents to the circles.  I love those little animals! so cute!





One thing that I am working on in my scrapbooking is to get over my handwriting.  I am more and more just writing on my pages because I want them to be more personal and more me.  I used to not add a lot of journaling, or I would print out journaling on a computer, but I have learned to embrace my own handwriting and just go for it. 
If you are interested in joining me at the Stampin' Up! Scrapbooking Global feel free to check it out.  It is for demonstrators and non-demonstrators alike. 
Don't forget that Bonus Days are going on! Get a $5 coupon to use in August for every $50 you spend in July!
