Inky Bee Stampers

My husband loves the game of golf and seeing as I don’t have a golf-themed stamp set, I challenged myself to create a card for him centered around golf. How did I do?

I used the Glorious Gingham 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper in Lemon Lime Twist and Blueberry Bushel along with sentiments from the Very Best Occasions Stamp Set and the He’s All That Stamp Set and my 2″ Circle Punch. Oh, and the polka dot embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders set.

I started by adhering a panel of Lemon Lime Twist Glorious Gingham onto a mat in Basic White and then adhered this unit to a card base in Blueberry Bushel. I added a wide strip of Glorious Gingham paper to a mat in Blueberry Bushel cardstock and adhered this towards the top of the card front.

I fashioned a golf tee from a slim strip of Blueberry Bushel cardstock and created a golf ball by punching a piece of white cardstock using my 2″ Circle Punch and then embossing the circle using the polka dot embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders set. The de-bossed side of the circle looks just like a golf ball! I adhered the tee and golf ball to the card front. I then created a flagpole from a slender piece of white cardstock and cut a triangular flag to put on top of the pole using a piece of Lemon Lime Twist gingham paper.

The Father’s Day sentiment from the He’s All That Stamp Set was added to the sentiment label and the sentiment was matted to a piece of Blueberry Bushel and then adhered to the lower right of the card front.

I added an additional sentiment from the Very Best Occasions Stamp Set to the inside panel and the panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

A piece of coordinating designer series paper was added to the envelope flap and I trimmed the excess paper away from the flap. Lastly, I added multiple Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front to finish off the card.
