Inky Bee Stampers

I am so excited to be sharing new, upcoming products with you today! For today’s card I used products from the upcoming Unbounded Beauty Suite Collection. This suite is all about showing off the new 2024-2026 In Colors…which are just gorgeous! You will find this collection in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog which will be available to customers on May 1. Read till the end if you’d like to find out how to get your hands on these products sooner!

More about this card…I used the Unbounded Love Bundle, Flowers of Beauty Bundle, Unbounded Beauty 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, and the 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper along with the Petunia Pop Bordered Ribbon and 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots. The Flowers of Beauty Bundle contain two-step stamps of beautiful flowers and the coordinating dies will cut out the stamped images or detailed images. The Unbounded Love Bundle Stamp Set contains 25 sentiments! That is a lot of sentiments! And the coordinating dies contain a collection of truly beautiful sentiment labels and some detailed leaf and flower cut outs! So, there are lots of options in these bundles!

I used a Summer Splash and Petunia Pop floral print from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper pack and adhered a panel of this print to a Berry Burst mat, then adhered this to a Summer Splash card base. Petunia Pop and Berry Burst coordinate beautifully. From the Flowers of Beauty Dies I cut out the two largest detailed floral images from Summer Splash and Petunia Pop 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Paper and adhered these to the card front. Check out all of the shimmer! I also stamped the single flower image onto a scrap of white cardstock and used the coordinating die to cut out the image. I opted to color in the detailed flower image using a Blender Pen and Petunia Pop ink, but you can use the two-step stamp to fill in the flower if you prefer.

I cut out one of the rectangular sentiment labels from the Unbounded Love Dies set, then from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set, I stamped both the “Faith” and “is being sure of what we cannot see” sentiments onto a scrap piece of white cardstock. I found it easier to die cut the sentiment label first before stamping the sentiments. The sentiment label was adhered to the lower right of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The die cut flower was tucked under the upper right of the sentiment label.

A second sentiment from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set was stamped onto the inside panel and the same floral image was stamped onto the lower corner. I again used Petunia Pop ink and a Blender Pen to color in the image. The panel was adhered to a Berry Burst mat, then adhered to the inside of the card.

The same floral image was stamped onto the envelope front, and I adhered a piece of coordinating designer series paper to the envelope flap and trimmed the excess paper away from the flap using a pair of paper snips. You’ll notice that I chose a different pattern of designer series paper, and it coordinates beautifully! A Petunia Pop Bordered Ribbon bow was adhered to the upper left of the sentiment label on the card front and I finished up the card by adding three Pretty in Pink 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots to the card front.
