Inky Bee Stampers

Today’s card is a CAS (Create and Share) from the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog with a few minor changes. I used the lovely Citrus Blooms Bundle and Mediterranean Blooms 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to create this card…how lovely! BONUS – Some of the Citrus Blooms Dies cut out images from the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper! The large orange cluster on this card front was die cut from the designer series paper!

I began by using the Citrus Blooms Dies to cut out the large rectangular shape on the card front in a pretty Mediterranean tile print. This was then adhered to the card front using liquid glue. I then die cut the orange cluster from the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper and adhered this image to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using dies from the Citrus Blooms Dies set I also cut out three leaf sprigs in Old Olive cardstock and I tucked the leaves around the die cut orange image. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut out a circle sentiment. The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy ink and the sentiment label was added to the card center using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside panel, I stamped an additional sentiment then stamped the diamond image multiple times across the bottom of the panel in Night of Navy ink. The panel was adhered to a Balmy Blue mat, then adhered to the inside of the card.

I repeated stamping of the diamond image on the envelope front. A coordinating piece of designer series paper was adhered to the envelope flap, and I used a pair of paper snips to trim the excess paper away from the flap. I adhered three yellow Opal Rounds to the card front and these were placed in the centers of the orange blooms to complete the card!

I think my most favorite thing about this card is the lovely Mediterranean tile patterns on the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper and the fact that the Citrus Blooms Dies cut out images from the paper!
