Inky Bee Stampers

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend! My card today was created using the Filled with Cheer Stamp Set. This stamp set coordinates with the Filled with Fun Dies. The Filled with Cheer Stamp Set will be available on July 3 in the Online Exclusives section of the Online Store, and it is an adorable set! It is an added bonus that you can cut out the wagon image using the Filled with Fun Dies!

I started off by embossing a Poppy Parade panel using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. This embossing folder provides so much texture! The embossed panel was then adhered to a Shaded Spruce card base. I cut a panel of the Graceful Greenery Vellum 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper in a white print and adhered this to the card front. Liquid glue was applied to the very top and bottom edges of the panel. 1/4″ strips of Shaded Spruce were then adhered over the top and bottom edges of the vellum (this hides where the vellum was glued down).

From the Filled with Cheer Stamp Set, I stamped the image of the wagon, wagon wheels and the gifts and poinsettias in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a scrap piece of white cardstock. I then used a variety of Stampin’ Blends to color in the images. I used the wagon and wagon wheels dies from the Filled with Fun Dies to cut out the images. I also die cut a wagon handle from this die set from Crumb Cake cardstock. The image of the gifts and poinsettias were fussy cut. I then assembled the images into one unit and adhered this to the left center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A sentiment from the Filled with Cheer Stamp Set was stamped onto a piece of white cardstock and I used the smallest rectangle sentiment label from the Unbounded Love Dies to cut out the sentiment. This small die cuts a center and a frame at the same time but I treated these two pieces of the sentiment label as one unit. The sentiment label was adhered to the upper right of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside panel, I stamped an additional sentiment in Poppy Parade ink, then partially stamped the image of the tree and snowman from the Filled with Cheer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. The image was colored in with Stampin’ Blends then the panel was adhered to a Poppy Parade mat and then adhered to the inside of the card. How cute is this little snowman!

The same snowman was stamped onto the envelope front and colored in with Stampin’ Blends. The string of lights was stamped onto the envelope flap and also colored in with Stampin’ Blends. I added a small Silver & White Sheer Ribbon bow to the card front and several Iridescent Faceted Gems were added to the card to finish up the project.
