It’s going to be graduation time before you know it! I made a cute card with the Stampin’ UP! Bird’s Eye View Stamp Set:)

I said in the video that it is retiring but it is NOT! Too many things swirling in my brain!

Check out the video of this easy fun fold!

Yes, I know I have a typo- It’s the Mini Alphabet Dies!

I love how you can make any sentiment you want with the Alphabet Dies!

Now here’s one with the Alphabet on the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper.

Yes, I got the word right this time but looks like a typo…lol. It is indeed the Stampin’ UP! Alphabest stamps on the inside!

I just loved all the fun Stampin’ Blends colors! It really jazzed up the card on the front and back!

This will be a surprise gift with retired items- DSP (48 sheets of 6 X 6), cardstock, ribbon, embellishments, etc that I will try to coordinate with matching colors so it’s usable with current inks and black ink- some NEW in package, and some slightly used from my stash over the years- some fun stuff!

The April 2024 Busy Bee Bag registration

will be from March 15 to April 1.

I will be using the super cute Stampin’ UP! Ice Cream Bundle.

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

I work hard to create kits using the featured products that can use with 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 April 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 $22- $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!

I am back from my Stampin’ UP! Convention in Houston…it was so fun to get energized by spending time with friends, seeing NEW products and demonstrations…and getting to see and have in my hands the NEW Stampin’ UP! catalog coming out in May!

See the NEW In Colors for 2024-2026! We made these in the Product Playground:)

They are truly unique colors but seem to “look” like what we have now BUT

it is not until you see them that you truly see how they add to the Stampin’ UP! color palette!

AND…

I am happy to say the Stampin’ UP! Hot Air Balloons Bundle and the Bright Skies Bundle are carrying over!!! But remember, they will lose their 10% off bundle discount in the new catalog.

My sweet friend and talented friend, Debbi Muche, sent me this awesome card…it was what inspired me to do my video last week. You can see it HERE. If you got the Sunny Days DSP during Sale-a-bration, you can even cut out some clouds with the Bright Skies Dies!

Here is a fun Inside Pop Up Card using the Stampin’ UP! Hot Air Balloons Bundle and the Lighter than Air Designer Series Paper. It’s one of the most verstile DSPs with all it’s coordinating colors!

I did use a retired Host Designer Series Paper on the card on the left side. The cloud pattern is in the current Lighter than Air DSP. Open up the card and SURPRISE!

Here is a video showing how to make the fun inside Pop Up element:

It’s so easy! Just adhere the “box” into the fold of the card in two places- (1) the top of the back of the front of the card where the die cut was made and then (2 )on the top by the fold on the inside of the card where you would write your message. See the photo below:

Measurements: Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored on the 11″ side at 5-1/2″, DSP: 4′ x 5-1/4″, Pop Up mechanism: 1-1/4″ x 4″ scored at 1″, 2″ , and 3″ on the 4″ side, Scraps of various colors in DSP
