Bee My Valentine: Sweet Heart-Shaped Valentine Card Tutorial

 Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and I’ve got the perfect handmade card idea to share with you! This week, I’m featuring the adorable Bee My Valentine stamp set, coordinating punch, and the elegant new Hearts of Elegance Dies. Whether you’re crafting for a loved one, a friend, or just because, this heart-shaped Valentine card will make your heart buzz with joy. Let’s dive into the details of this sweet, vintage-inspired project!


Project Details:
This card combines a classic Valentine’s Day vibe with whimsical touches. Here's what you'll love about it:

  • A Heart-Shaped Base: I used the Hearts of Elegance Dies to create a big, beautiful pink heart as the card base.
  • Adorable Bee Accent: The coordinating punch makes it easy to add a buzzing bee that brings the design to life.
  • Floral Stamping: Pretty flowers add softness and charm, stamped in coordinating colors.
  • Sentiment: The sweet phrase, "You Make My Heart Buzz," gives this card an old-fashioned Valentine feel that’s sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.

Crafting Tips:

  1. Layer for Dimension: Add dimension to your card by popping up the bee with foam adhesive.
  2. Coordinate Colors: Stick with a Valentine’s palette—think pinks, reds, and whites—for a cohesive look.
  3. Personalize: Write a heartfelt message inside or stamp additional designs for an extra special touch.
