YNS January Feature Day

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's Feature Day at Your Next Stamp!!

Feature Day Theme...
With Love!!

I used the super fun Treat Topper Die!
But I changed the bottom up a little bit!

Here's a look at the original Treat Topper Die die cut and the new Scallop Heart Border Die:
I trimmed off the border on the Treat Topper Die cut and added the Scallop Heart Border Die as I thought it would be more fun to use as the bottom design for this Valentine project!!

The large "Love" sentiment is part of the So Stinkin' Cute stamp set (masked the Scent with Love sentiment) and the "you" is pare of the Mother Hen stamp set (masked the Hope you get....sentiment)!!
All the stamped hearts are part of the So Stinkin' Cute stamp set!

I finished the topped off by adding Peppermint Divine Twine!!
And the best part, the CANDY!!

Bee Mine with Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Stamping Friends!
It's my day once again to post on the Honey Bee Stamps Blog!!

I have a sweet Valentine's Day card to share with you!

I started off by collecting my supplies and using the Brush Grunge Alpha to stamp the word "mine".

Got an idea of what sentiment I am going to create?!

Here's a sneak:
I used the Sweet As Honey stamp set to add the other half of the sentiment.  As you can see I wanted it to be sparkly!!

If you guessed that I stamped the word "bee" from that set, you are right!!
I also stamped some of the honeycomb designs, as well as some cute bumblebees and hearts!!


My entire card:
A super fun and sweet card!!


"Bee" sure to check out all the lovely products Honey Bee Stamps has to offer!
Happy Stamping!!
