Inky Bee Stampers

It’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop and I’m excited to see what my team members have created for the Hop today!

I used the pretty Country Bouquet Stamp Set, Country Floral Lane 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and the Around the Bend Bundle to create my card for the Hop. 

We have a sketch challenge for today and this is my interpretation of the sketch.

I started off by adhering a piece of the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper to a mat in Sweet Sorbet, then adhered this to a Mossy Meadow card base. The two-step heart from the Country Bouquet Stamp Set was stamped onto a piece of white cardstock in Mossy Meadow and Sweet Sorbet. I then used the largest die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set to cut out the stamped image.

Onto a white sentiment label measuring 3″ x 1-1/4″ I stamped a sentiment from the Around the Bend Stamp Set using Mossy Meadow ink. The sentiment label was adhered to the right side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and was centered from top to bottom. The stamped heart circle was adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and was placed on the left side of the card front and partially overlapping the sentiment label.

Using dies from the Around the Bend Dies set, I cut out leaves in Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz and hearts from Sweet Sorbet. The leaves were tucked under the circle die cut and above and below the sentiment label and were adhered with glue. I scattered the die cut hearts around the card front.

The inside panel of the card was simply stamped with a leaf sprig and hearts from the Country Bouquet Stamp Set and was then adhered to a mat in Sweet Sorbet.

The envelope front was also decorated with the same leaf sprig and hearts, and I adhered a piece of coordinating designer series paper to the envelope flap and fussy cut around the flap to finish off the envelope.

A small bow from Real Red ribbon was adhered to the card front below the circle and I adhered several white Enamel Dots to the card front as well.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and I want to thank you for stopping by! If you’re joining the hop from my blog, be sure to use the navigation links below to see more creativity and inspiration!
