Welcome to our January 2024 edition of CASEing Coast to Coast! Each month Rosanne from Pennsylvania, and I from California, bring you two cards that share a common theme. This month I chose a Valentine’s Day theme and I’ve made a card using Bee My Valentine. This cute new bundle is perfect for Valentine’s Day with bees, hearts, flowers, and honey images.
Here’s my card:
Materials & Measurements:
- Real Red Cardstock base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, folded at 4-1/4″
- Real Red Cardstock layer, 5-1/4″x 4″
- Most Adored Specialty DSP (Free Sale-A-Bration item!), 5-1/4″x 4″, long side cut at 3-1/2″ and bottom portion flipped
- Real Red ribbon, 7″ to cover seam, 7″ for bow
- Basic White, 2-1/2″x 2-1/4″ for sentiment, punched with Heartfelt Hexagon Punch
- Basic White scraps for bee body and antennae
- Flirty Flamingo Cardstock for “speech bubble”, 2″x 1-1/2″
- Real Red scraps for hearts
- Vellum Cardstock for wings, 4″x 1-1/2″
Putting the bee together:
- Stamp the bee body with Daffodil Delight ink. Stamp the stripe and stinger details over the yellow with Memento Tuxedo Black.
- Stamp a face and the antennae with black.
- Stamp the wing detail to the Vellum Cardstock twice using Versamark Ink and heat emboss them with Gold Embossing Powder.
- Punch everything out using the Bee Builder Punch.
- The bee body and Flirty Flamingo speech bubble are punched with this punch.
- The antennae is punched with the small heart in the Bee Builder Punch.
- The wings are punched with the large heart in the Bee Builder Punch.
- Glue the antennae and wings to the back of the bee body. Add Dimensionals to the back and adhere to the card front.
Inside:
- Add a 5/8″x 4″ piece of matching plaid DSP. Cover the seam with a 1/8″ strip of Real Red.
- Stamp a Valentine greeting and hearts using Real Red ink.

I think this is one of the sweetest Valentine’s cards…those embossed vellum wings on your little bee are simply perfect with the gold heart DSP. This was a really fun CC2C! See you next month!
