Inky Bee Stampers

The beautiful stamps and dies from the Timeless Charm Bundle were used to create today’s card! The Timeless Charm Bundle, Timeless Charm Stamp Set and the Timeless Charm Dies will be available in the online store as Online Exclusives beginning July 6!

I started off by creating my own background for this card by repeatedly stamping the large leaf image from the Timeless Charm Stamp Set using Lost Lagoon ink. The stamped panel was then adhered to a Lost Lagoon card base. A panel in Blackberry Bliss was embossed using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and this panel was also adhered to the card front.

Using the Something Fancy Dies, I cut out a rectangle from Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I also die cut several flowers and leaves from the Timeless Charm Dies set from Basic White cardstock and I used Stampin’ Blends in Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock to color in the images. The flowers and leaves were then arranged onto the die cut rectangle and adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A sentiment was stamped in Berry Burst ink and adhered to a Lost Lagoon mat. I then cut the right and left side of the sentiment label at an angle and adhered the label to the card front using a combination of liquid glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. An additional flower was added just under the sentiment label and rectangle.

I kept the inside of the card simple and stamped the same large leaf image in Lost Lagoon ink in the upper right and lower left corners. The inside panel was then adhered to the inside of the card.

The large leaf image was stamped onto the lower left of the envelope front, and I stamped a smaller open leaf onto the envelope flap in Lost Lagoon ink. Several Berry Burst Tinsel Gems were added to the card front…and this completes the card! I adore the stamped background panel on this card, and I think the Blackberry Bliss panels really compliment the Lost Lagoon card base and stamped flowers!
