"Lucky Pair" Valentine Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Handmade Valentine card featuring layered playing cards with crown accents, red 'Lucky Pair' sentiment, black scalloped frame, and sparkling gem embellishments. Soft floral background included.

The Honey Bee Stamps "Perfect Match" release is packed with playful and romantic crafting possibilities! Today, I’m sharing a vibrant Valentine’s card featuring the "Lucky Pair" design. This card was made with products from the release, blending intricate die cuts, bold sentiments, and dazzling embellishments. It’s perfect for sending love to your lucky partner.

CARD RECIPE

Watch this come together in my latest IG Reel πŸ‘‰ HERE


Handmade Valentine card featuring layered playing cards with crown accents, red 'Lucky Pair' sentiment, black scalloped frame, and sparkling gem embellishments. Soft floral background included.

Creating the Base:
I began by layering the black scalloped frame from the Lace Heart Layering Frames set onto a white card base. This contrast makes the design pop.

Die Cutting Magic:
Using the Lovely Layers: Playing Cards, I cut the suits and card shapes in white, black, red, and gold cardstock. These were layered together to create dimensional and eye-catching playing card designs. I placed the crowned suits prominently for a regal, romantic touch. The Ace card face was a last-minute change as I had done the backside of it first, you can see it peeking from the side there which made it even more realistic to playing cards.

Sentiments and Details:
The "We're The" sentiment, stamped with the Bee Creative Ink Pad - Intense Black, sets the playful tone. I combined it with a die-cut "Lucky Pair" sentiment in red and black to make it stand out.

Embellishing:
A few Simply Spring Gem Stickers were scattered for subtle sparkle, while the Gelly Roll White Pen added highlights to the die cuts for a polished finish.

Final Touch:
Assembled all elements on the card with foam tape for dimension, making sure the playing cards cascade naturally across the card front.

Hello Friends!

I am back today with the cutest Valentine's Card I have ever made, IMOπŸ˜† If you love this bee as much as I do and need to have it, hurry and make sure to grab it now as it is RETIRING forever from the Honey Bee Stamp Shop as supplies are limited and for a great price too! πŸ‘‰Honey Bee Stitching Die 

CARD RECIPE

Felt Bee - Honey Bee Stitching Die - retiring soon!
Sentiment - Slimline Sentiments: Stitched Dies - retiring soon!
Embellishment - Sweethearts - Clay Hearts

As you can see the card is pretty basic. To create it I used one of the Stencils from the Fluttering Hearts Background Stencils and used pink ink to blend out the hearts. The sentiment is cut from black shiny cardstock using the Bee Mine Slimline Sentiments: Stitched Dies πŸ‘ˆalso RETIRING! For the dot of the "i", I used a clay heart.

To make the felt bee, I wanted it to have 2 wings and be finished on both sides. To do that I die-cut each piece x2 from felt. I then first stitched the yellow body layers and the white wing layers together leaving a tiny hole for stuffing later. I used yellow embroidery floss to create a Backstitch all the way around the body. (I ended up using the back side of the bee as I like how the backside of the backstitch looked. Usually, the back side is the messy stitched side). Before completing the Backstitch I added some stuffing between the middle layers. I then finished stitching the body using black embroidery floss to attach the black pieces. For the wings, I used white embroidery floss but used a Blanket Stitch

Next, I stitched some eyelashes in place before gluing on some black enamel dots for the eyes. For the antennae, I used a thin wire that I threaded through the top and just twisted it to stay in place. I then snipped the excess length and curled ends. Now for the cheeks, I applied some pink ink using a shader brush, then added a white dot to the center using a gel pen.

To the backside of the bee, I used hot glue to attach a magnet to it. Once it is completely dry,  attach it to the card base by using another magnet to secure it in place on the inside of the card. For fun and a little magic, watch the bee move by sliding around the inside magnet!

Obviously, this card will not fit into an envelope. To solve this problem and keep the felt clean, I will store it and gift it in an A7 cello bag.


I hope this darling Felt Bee has inspired you to think out of the box when it comes to cardmaking! I love how this Bee Mine Valentine - Felt Fridge Magnet Card turned out and I hope my Valentine will too πŸ˜‰For those of you following me on Instagram, stay tuned for a Reel coming soon!
