This past weekend I hosted a Honey Bee themed Stampin’ Bingo Event. I was joined by 24 lovely ladies for a fun afternoon of stamping and bingo. We had lots of different prizes, some cute make&takes, yummy snacks and fun catching up with old and new friends. On Monday I did a Facebook Live on my business page and showed how to make all the cards – you can watch that here – https://www.facebook.com/AtMonikasPlace/videos/2597103517176085/
If you haven’t liked my Facebook Business page yet – please hop over and do that and then be sure to catch me every Monday for a Live Stamping session. I would love to have you join me. Or you can go back and watch the replay later. Now on to the projects I wanted to share. First here are some photos of the room and the set up on Sunday.
Everyone received a goody bag with some of the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper, a roll of Whisper White Seam Binding Ribbon, a Mango Melody Dark Stampin’ Blends, a sponge dauber, and dimensionals. Plus the supplies to make the 4 cards.
I had some fun snacks for everyone – I found little lemon cakes that looked like bee hives and then bought sugar bees and “glued” them on with icing. My friend Hilary made cookies and decorated them with bees, flowers, and honeycombs. Everything was yummy!
As a thank you everyone received honey sticks with a mini honey dipper.
Congratulations to everyone that won a prize!

Now here is that 4th card from the Birthday Bingo. I thought I had posted it but do not see the post. It’s a fun fold card that shows both sides of the Designer Paper. The Happiness Blooms Designer Paper is what this whole set of cards used. It is bright and cheerful and I love it for birthday cards. I posted the other cards already and I filmed a FB Live video showing you how to make all 4 of them. You can view my April 15, 2019 FB live video HERE.
The main part of the card is actually a 4″ x 12″ strip of the Happiness Blooms Designer paper. It is scored and folded and then glued to a piece of Night of Navy and a piece of Whisper White is added to the inside for you to write on. The front is decorated with the Piece of Cake stamp set, Night of Navy Baker’s Twine and Enamel Dots.

I had planned on saying that this was the 4th card from my Birthday Bingo event, but as I scrolled back through my posts I can only find where I shared 2 cards so far. So I guess this makes the 3rd one of the set. And I’ll have to share the 4th one with you in another post. Plus since I posted the others I filmed a FB Live video showing you how to make all 4 of them plus the box that I stored them all in – or use it for a gift for someone. Would it be weird to give someone one a set of birthday cards as a birthday gift?
You can view my April 15, 2019 FB live video HERE. I show you how to make this card plus three more.
This one is quite quick if you use the Adhesive Sheets on your paper before you die cut out the words. By the way the adhesive sheets are retiring so be sure to order them now before they sell out. I used the Happiness Blooms Designer Series paper and the Enamel Dots on this one. That was where the color scheme came from. Die cut the words from the Well Written dies – these will be in our new catalog by the way. And so will the enamel dots – you can see here that I used the dot on my i in birthday. That’s easier than trying to keep up with the one that gets cut. If you use the adhesive sheets all you do is peel off the backing and stick your words on your card.
Supply List
- #148795 Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper
- #148802 Happiness Blooms Cardstock Pack
- #148805 Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots
- #100730 Whisper White Cardstock
- #143263 Big Shot Die Cutting Machine
- #148534 Well Written Dies
- #144106 Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets
- #146336 Night of Navy Medium Baker’s Twine
This card actually has no stamping on it. Just the die-cutting and assembly. On the inside is a piece of Whisper White card stock and a matching strip of the Designer Paper. As we near the end of the Occasions Catalog and the Annual Catalog there are many retiring products. Be sure to order what you want now before it is gone – the Designer Paper, Navy Twine and Adhesive sheets are some of what is retiring. The link to get to my online store is below.

Late in November I held a Santa’s Workshop Bingo event. It was so much fun! The theme was Santa’s Workshop and I used products from the very popular Santa’s Workshop Suite in the Holiday Catalog. Everyone received a good bag full of supplies for their projects and lots of extras to take home. We had stamping and played some bingo for prizes. Yummy little snacks to eat and it lots of laughter and fun. It was perfect afternoon to start the Christmas season.
One of the projects that everyone made was this Santa’s Workshop Note pad. I use lots of note pads – I’m a list person. And this time of year there are lists for everything. So this was not only cute but a practical project too.
I found notepads at the office supply store and measured those and then measured a piece of card stock to fold around it. Don’t forget to include the depth of the spine and any over hang you want. Then I decorated the front with a strip of paper from the Santa’s Workshop Specialty Designer Series paper and a card from the Santa’s Workshop Memories & More card pack. It’s tied shut with a piece of the Poppy Parade ribbon.
Supply List
- Poppy Parade card stock
- Garden Green card stock
- Santa’s Workshop Specialty Designer Series paper
- Poppy Parade 1/2″ Textured Weave Ribbon
- Santa’s Workshop Memories & More Card Pack
- Tear & Tape
- Stampin’ Dimensionals
I used some paper and one of the stickers from the Memories & More card pack to decorate the little note pad. Then attach it with Tear & Tape to the inside. Tie the the cover shut with the ribbon and then slip in your favorite holiday pencil. There are a variety of stickers in the Memories & More card pack – use those to decorate your pages as desired.
