Will You BEE Mine?




The very first stamp set I purchased from the Jan/Apr 2024 mini catalog was Bee My Valentine.  I usually don't like "bugs" on my cards - but this bee is sooooo cute that I couldn't resist.  I made these cards using the stamp set, along with the coordinating Bee Builder Punch and Bee Mine Designer Series Paper.  


These Square Pillow Boxes are part of the Bee Mine Suite Collection of products.  They come flat, but score marks help you shape these - and the adhesive is already on them - so it makes assembling the boxes quick and easy!  The boxes are white, but for the yellow one I used a blending brush to add color.  The one on the right was wrapped with some of the designer paper - and I left the top open to make it more of a treat bag.  So many possiblities for these boxes - and they are a good size!



Here is a little treat box that I made using card stock and Designer Paper.  I saw this idea on Pinterest and had to give it a try.  It will fit 4 mini Reeses peanut butter cups and makes a cute sweet treat.

Order these products soon if you want to make some sweet Valentines!   Or add this bundle of products to your wish list.  This cute set can be used throughout the year to show your love to someone special!

Happy New Year!



Happy 2024!  I don't know what happened to 2023 but here I am AGAIN - at the beginning of a new year - hoping to get back to sharing my Stampin' Up! projects on a regular basis.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will bookmark my blog and visit often.  You can also find me on Facebook, You Tube, and Pinterest - but I hope to use my blog for sharing measurements and directions for making some of my projects.

For these New Year's cards I used a past Paper Pumpkin kit (July 2020: Summer Nights.)  I actually had this kit in my "Prize Box" to give away!  But when I went to make this card - it came to mind, and I pulled it out and this is what I came up using just one of the stamps in the kit.

As you can see - in one verson I included the year, die cut from a set of retired alphabet dies.  But we do have the Alphabet A La Mode dies in the 2023-24 annual catalog - which would work.

These cards are also made using three of the 2022-24 In Colors: Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, and Tahitian Tide - which will be retiring at the end of April.  If you like these bright, fun colors - be sure to purchase the ink pad, refills, card stock, and any Designer Series Paper, ribbon, and embellishments with these colors before they are gone! 

You might think you have plenty of time to get these products - but as we get closer to April, the products will be while supplies last - and may not be available towards the end of the catalog selling period.   

January is a great time to stock up on these items - because with each $50 purchase, you will be able to select a Sale-a-Bration for FREE!  I will post information on January 4, when the promotion begins.

Finally, I have a tip for you!  When you are finished with your Stampin' Dimensionals - don't throw away those bits from the edges!  They are great for popping up any elements on your card front - to give it extra dimension.  But they especially work great for smaller odd shaped pieces like the numbers on my card.







Once again - thanks for stopping by and here's wishing you a happy, healthy new year - full of stamping!

 30 Days of Gratitude Stamp-a-Stack

Have you seen people post on Facebook - something they are grateful for - each day in the month of November?  Instead of just a fleeting FB post - wouldn't it be great to actually SEND A HANDMADE CARD to 30 people in November, with a note of thanks inside?

Let me help you with that - by preparing everything you need to make 30 cards - similar to the ones shown in the photo above.  Then all you need to do is mail or give away one - to someone you want to thank - each day in November.

Come on over to my house on Saturday October 28 or Sunday October 29 to make the cards, and you can also check out my BRAND NEW RENOVATED KICHEN at the same time.  The cost to make all 30 cards, including envelopes, is only $30.  These are quick and easy cards - you WILL be able to make them - or you can stamp here and assemble at home.

More info can be found on my website.  

Info and RSVP for Saturday HERE.  

Info and RSVP for Sunday HERE

Please invite a friend, and join me for a few hours of fun and fellowship - which is what stamping is all about!  Just think about how many people we can bless this November - with a hand made card and a hand written note inside! 

Space is limited - so RSVP soon!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year - again!


It always seems like a new year when a new Stampin' Up! annual catalog appears!  This card features one of the brand new 2023-2025 In Colors, Boho Blue.  This is a quick and simple card that I made using the 2023-25 In Color Designer Series Paper and the Dainty Delight stamp set.  

I made a video showing how easy it is to make this card - and 5 other cards using the same products. You can only see the video in the "2 Sisters Stamping" Facebook Group.  Be sure to ask to join the private group where my sister, Donna, and I are sharing a "Card a Day in May."   We are sharing projects we made using products from the new catalog and will be giving away the card that we feature each day.  We are also offering $20 Bundles - where you can purchase a sampling of some of the products we feature.

Hope to see you over there! 

You can also....


Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year 2023!

 I hope that 2023 will be a happy, healthy new year for you!  It has a long time since I posted new projects here on my blog - and my goal for the new year is to post AT LEAST once a week .  I think I have been busier since retiring in 2019 - but hopefully this will be the year that I figure out how to do it all!  LOL!

The beautiful shimmer paper that I used to make this card is a new product from the upcoming Jan/Apr 2023 mini catalog. 

To see the latest projects from me - be sure to follow all my social media platforms:
