Bee (for CSF 828)

This week ends our CASEing the Catalog month for Create with Stamping Friends. I hope you have picked up some ideas to use the catalog samples and make them your own with just a few changes! Today’s card inspiration is found on page 103. It’s a cute, punny card made with pastel colors. I took those elements and made a card with Bee My Valentine. It also features a play on words, is a bit whimsical, and uses pastel colors.

Here’s the card inspiration:

And here’s my Bee card:

The Bee My Valentine Punch Bundle  came out last January, but I’ve found ways to use it for more than valentines. You can see one of those ideas HERE. I also used a couple of brand new products on my card! Can you pick them out?
