Today I’m sharing the cards I made for our January Candy Hearts team swap. The theme was Sale-A-Bration, and I used the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set, Lily Pad Dies, and Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper.
Here are the Sale-A-Bration products I used:
Just look at all the colors in this gorgeous paper!

Here’s what I made:
These two cards look so different, and it’s only because the Designer Series Paper layers are from different parts of the same piece of paper:

Today I’m sharing a fast and easy happy birthday card I made using The Gang’s All Meer and Label Me Bold stamp sets. The sentiment is cut using scissors, and the sequins come with adhesive already on the backs. How easy is that?!

Today’s card is one I made for my January Stamp Club. I used the Honey Bee Bundle (Honey Bee stamp set and Detailed Bee Dies,) Layered Ovals Dies, and Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series (DSP) Paper to create this thinking of you sweet friend card.
The front most layer is made of two pieces of the DSP, one with gold foil honeycomb and one with black flowers. After I had cut all the Make & Take kits for the club, I only had 1″ wide strips of the floral DSP left. That’s why my card has two 1″ x 5-1/2″ pieces, instead of one 2″ x 5-1/2″ pieces, on the right side. You may not even have noticed, but in case you did, I wanted to explain the difference between the photo and the instructions.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Daffodil Delight card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Basic Black CS layer cut to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
- Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 2″ x 5-1/4″ (2 pieces of 2 different designs)
- Whisper White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4
Stamped with the Honey Bee stamp set:
- sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
- one large and two small bees in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
Cut using the Detailed Bee Dies:
Cut using the Layering Ovals Dies:
- sentiment
- scrap of Basic Black CS
Colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers:
- bee stripes in Daffodil Delight
- Note: I used the light marker on the large bee and the dark marker on the small bees. You can decide which you like better. I think the light matches the cardstock better, and the dark looks more like a real bee.
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- Basic Black CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
- 2 DSP layers glued, side by side, onto the Basic Black CS layer
- sentiment glued onto the Basic Black CS oval
- Basic Black CS oval adhered onto the DSP layers using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
- bees adhered onto the DSP layers using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals

I used the Honey Bee stamp set and Detailed Bee Dies (available together in the Honey Bee Bundle to sale 10%) along with the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper (available free with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration) to create today’s card. You may think it looks a little skinnier than normal. That’s because it is. I intended to have wider bands of Basic Black on each side. I accidentally cut the card base 4″ wide instead of 4-1/4″. Oops! But I already had it mostly finished so I decided to go with it. The instructions below use the 4-1/4″ wide card base.
