Welcome to our We BEE Stamping Blog Hop this month.  Our theme is Love Is In The Air which is just perfect with Valentine's Day around the corner.  I am featuring the Marbled Elegance Suite Collection.  

I cut Real Red card stock at 5-1/2" and 8-1/2" for the card base; 2" x 5" for the long mat; and a 3" x 3" square.

DSP cuts are 1-7/8" x 4-7/8" and 2-7/8" x 2-7/8"

Its a simple design with several little details.  I love the gold foil in the Design Series Paper, the gold foil hearts, gold cording and the gold heart dotting the "I" in the sentiment.

Welcome to our We BEE Stamping Team Blog Hop.  I think we are all equally excited for this month blog hop, not only because its a new year, but we are celebrating all new things from Stampin' Up!  Yep, the new Mini Catalog goes live on January 7th plus it is Sale-a-Bration time!  Let's get seeing what everyone is sharing...

First off, Happy New Year to all of you on the first day of a brand new year.  Maybe 2025 be filled with lots of joy and laughter.  Not only is it a new year, it is also my aunt's birthday!  Yep, she's a new year baby and turned 91 years old today. 

My card is in celebrating of her birthday using the upcoming New Wildflower Birthday Suite Collection.  I'm a sucker for sets with alphabet and number dies so I had to have it.  And I am not disappointed with this one.  The Wildflower Birthday 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Paper is awesome!

I wanted to be sure you can see that Specialty DSP paper with Gold Foil!  The paper is really lovely so let's take a look at another photo. 

Here's a list of items included in the suite collection:

• Birthday Celebration Bundle (stamp set & dies)
• Party Dots
• Gold 1-1/2" Open Weave Trim
• Wildflower Birthday 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper
  
  • has lots of gold foil on one side of each sheet
  • two of the sheets have labels/images/tags
  • two sheets are Full of Die Cuts Image (that is where the balloons in my card are from)

This suite collection is a definite favorite for me.  The color combinations are so fresh and pretty.  (Pool Party, Pretty In Pink, Blueberry Bushel, Old Olive, Peach Pie, Daffodil Delight, Soft Sea Foam and Gold)

So mark your calendars for January 7, 2025:  Jan-May 2025 Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration go live!

Welcome to this month's Team Blog Hop - Christmas Time.

I chose to share a more rustic themed card featuring the Sophisticated Sled Bundle, one of my favorites from the September - December 2024 mini catalog.  Sometimes I tend to do not-so-traditional Christmas card fronts, but always put a nice holiday sentiment on the inside.   

I have done several projects using this bundle, and guess what, they did not even feature the sled; so here is yet another one.  The ice skate dies in this bundle are just so fabulous that I keep going back to them. 

I embossed a piece of Early Espresso card stock with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing.  Then I lightly tapped the high embossed ridges with a VersaMark ink pad, sprinkled with Gold Embossing powder and heat set.  I really love how the background turned out.  The skates are die cut from Very Vanilla and Gold Foil papers.  The words at the bottom are Gold Heat embossed on Very Vanilla, which is 3/4" x 2-1/4".  And finally the wreath is die cut from Very Vanilla card stock as well. 

So the skates do not look like they are just floating, I used some Linen Thread to make it look like they are hanging.  

I accented with a Gold 1/8" Trim bow and added a few Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes.

Welcome to the We Bee Stamping TEAM Blog Hop. 

This month's theme is Masterful Masking.  You will find the tools you need for masking in the Annual Catalog on page 124 and 125.  From Masking paper to Blending Brushes, there are also some great examples.  But, that it was we are here to do as well, show some great Masking!  So let's get started.  

I am featuring our Masking Paper, Blending Brushes and the Lifetime of Love cling stamp set creating a Retiform or color blocking design. 

Our masking paper comes in a 12 pack of 5" x 7" sheets.  I like to use long strips so I cut two 2" x 7" strips leaving me with a 1" x 7" strip. 

Angle the making papers across a piece of Basic White card stock and use your Blending Brush to add color.  It is more important to add more ink along the masing papers edge.  Change the direction of your masking papers to create different quadrants.  

Then use the Masking Papers to mark off each quadrant to stamp the images. 

This is such a fun way to stamp and the possibilities are endless.  Trying using different color inks too!

Now let's buzzz on over and see what Karen Burke has to share...

Welcome to We BEE Stamping Team Blog Hop.  July's theme is all about Watercolor Techniques. 

I am so excited for this blog hop and to share some of our Watercolor Techniques.  Sometimes I forget to use these methods and products so it kind of rejuvenates me to make more cards with them!  So I got working and I have three cards to share with you.  

1.)  Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pens

I stamped the floral images in Black Stazon ink, added color with colored pencils and then use my Blender Pens to spread out the color

2.)  Water Painters and Watercolor Paper

Using my Watercolor Paper and Water Painters, I spread ink covering the entire piece of paper.  I helped dry with my heat tool then stamped on the flowers and words with Stazon ink and Lemon Lime Twist ink for the petals. 

3.)  Embossed image colored with Soft Pastels and Water Painters

I heat embossed the flowers and words with Copper embossing powder.  Using my Water Painter, I swiped on the pastels to pick up color then painted the flowers. 

The 2024-2025 Annual catalog is where you can find all the resources for all watercolor supplies .  Click the below image to download the catalog and refer to pages 118 and 119. 

Lets go and see what everyone else created.  Buzzz on over to Leigh Ambrugey's page for her share:
