April 15, 2024

I could not resist diving into some of the NEW stuff from the upcoming Stampin’ UP! Annual 2024-2025 Catalog. One new Designer Series Paper that I got for a prize patrol in Houston was the 12″ x 12″ Stampin’ UP! Unbounded Beauty. This paper has all the new In Colors in it! And one particular pattern has three colors that look fantastic together- Petunia Pop, Pretty in Pink, and Summer Splash. So, I got out the Stampin’ UP! Unbounded Love Bundle to make some cards!

I added some ribbon and some of the beautiful In Color Shimmer Gems that coordinated. The sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamps and was cut out with the Unbounded Love Dies. So many great ways to use the dies! I used what would be the “inside negative” of a scalloped oval frame and adhered it to a solid stitched oval scalloped die. I liked how the scallops lined up.

The sentiments are lovely and pair well.

I love that I was able to mix and match the pieces on my card with the three colors in the DSP. I die cut sentiment from the white 3-3/4″ x 5″ panel on the front of the card. The white panel sets of colors on the card and also brings out the white in the DSP. The Perennial Postage Die frame was cut from the 4″ x 5-1/4″ colored panel on each card. I then cut the sentiment out of the postage frame before I added the DSP. Then I just mix and matched all the cards!

The May 2024 Busy Bee Bag registration

will be from April 14 to April 30 since Catalog Opens on May 1st .

I will be using the NEW Spotlight on Nature Bundle coming out on May 1st.

Here is a SAMPLE of the beautiful images…not what is in the Busy Bee Bag;)

If it is not available for some reason, we will quickly pivot…

But you can use ANY stamp set and dies you have with my kits!

I work hard to create kits that can use other products if you want to…

and as always….

You can substitute a different stamp set. I will mail your substitution item with the Busy Bee Bag. If something is not available at the time of ordering on May 1st, I will contact you. For substitutions, I will invoice the extra amount or refund if the stamp set or die substitutions are slightly over or under:)

Each BUSY BEE BAG will include at least $20- $25 worth of product in addition to the 8 card kits (2 each of 4 designs) in a reusable bag for storing/organizing. You will be surprised to get DSPs, ribbons, embellishments and/or other great products in your bag- way more than you will use for your products- so you have leftovers to use on other things.

Stamped images and stamp sets are not included but you can add the featured stamp set/dies/bundle to be sent with your BUSY BEE BAG with no shipping added for the featured stamp set/bundle/dies! You can even substitute equal value items! That is…a bundle for a bundle, a stamp for a stamp, die set for a die set etc. and I will pay the shipping on that stamp set/die/bundle and include it in your March 2024 Busy Bee Bag!

REMEMBER…you can use the card kits with any stamp set you have!
