Inky Bee Stampers

I used the Gorgeously Made Stamp Set and Dies and the Masterfully Made 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to create this Double Z Fold note card. The Gorgeously Made Dies set has some fun elements, too, such as the torn notebook paper edge!

The two card bases, the Rear Card Base and the Front Card Base, were cut from Lost Lagoon cardstock, scored and burnished with a bone folder. The Rear Card Base was decorated with panels in a Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock print from the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper. The right and center panels of the Front Card Base were decorated with a pretty floral print from the same designer series paper. The left panel of the Front Card Base was decorated with the same print as the Rear Card Base. The card bases were then adhered together using glue. Detailed directions on how to assemble this card are included on the linked pdf tutorial below.

The Gorgeously Made Dies were used to cut out a greenery sprig from white cardstock and this was adhered to the front panel of the card. I also adhered a 2-3/8″ square of Berry Burst to the front panel at an angle towards the left of the panel. On a 2-1/4″ white square piece of cardstock I second-generation stamped the “words” image from the Gorgeously Made Stamp Set across the white square in Smoky Slate ink and a sentiment was stamped onto the center of the square using Berry Burst ink. The notebook paper edge die from the Gorgeously Made Dies set was used to cut the top of the white square sentiment label. The label was then adhered to the front panel, over the Berry Burst square, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside panel, I second generation stamped one of the greenery images from the Gorgeously Made Stamp Set in Berry Burst ink and the panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

The same greenery image was stamped onto the envelope front in Berry Burst ink. A coordinating piece of designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap with the excess paper trimmed away from the flap. A Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon bow was added to the card front along with several Lost Lagoon Adhesive-Backed Sequins to finish up the card.

What a fun way to show off the beautiful Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper! You can download, save and print the pdf tutorial for this card by clicking on the link below.
