Inky Bee Stampers

Here is a quick and easy Christmas card that you can make multiples of! I created this card using the snowflake mask from the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and the Beary Cute Stamp Set. For a different look to your cards – change up the colors!

I started off with a Basic White cardstock panel and placed the snowflake mask over the panel. I used a Blending Brush to first blend Boho Blue ink over the panel. I cleaned the mask off and used a separate blending brush and the mask to randomly blend larger snowflakes over the same panel. The panel was adhered to a Boho Blue mat and Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon was wrapped around the bottom third of the panel unit, then adhered to the front of a Starry Sky card base.

Using the snowflake mask, and without reinking the Blending Brush used to blend Starry Sky ink, I lightly blended snowflakes over the sentiment label. The “Christmas is better together” sentiment from the Beary Cute Stamp Set was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto the label. The label was adhered to a Starry Sky mat, then adhered to the card front, just over the right side of the wrapped ribbon. A triple bow was adhered to the left of the sentiment label.

For the inside panel and without reinking the Starry Sky Blending Brush, I again used the snowflake mask to lightly blend snowflakes diagonally across the top of the panel. The Merry Christmas sentiment was then stamped in Starry Sky ink onto the panel. The panel was adhered to a Boho Blue mat and then adhered to the inside of the card.

Without reinking the Blending Brush used to blend Starry Sky ink, I used the snowflake mask to lightly blend snowflakes onto the lower portion of the envelope front. I used Post It Tape to mask off the envelope front at the fold of the envelope flap, then used the mask to lightly blend snowflakes onto the flap. Several Iridescent Rhinestones were placed onto the card front to finish up the card.
