Happy Thanksgiving my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  I hope everyone has a nice day planned. I just wanted to say how Thankful I am for all of you and how if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be doing what I do. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a sketch challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects.
Here is our sketch for this week.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Buffalo Check Cling Stamp and the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Boughs Cling Stamp Set for my card today. Here’s my card using this sketch.

I played along with The Card Concept Challenge #144. Here is their inspiration photo.

I started by stamping a Cherry Cobbler card front using the Buffalo Check stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I adhered the card front to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using the Beautiful Boughs Dies. Using the Beautiful Boughs Dies again, I cut 1 medium and 2 small boughs from a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock, 3 small boughs from a panel of Old Olive cardstock 3 small solid pinecones from a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock and 3 small detailed pinecones from a panel of Soft Suede cardstock.

I adhered the Mossy Meadow boughs to a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Old Olive boughs on top of the Mossy Meadow boughs using Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment on top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the detailed pinecones to the solid ones using a tiny amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhered 1 to the top of the boughs using a Glue Dot and 2 on the bottom of the sentiment using Glue Dots. I made a small bow using the 1/8″ Gold Trim/Old Olive Ribbon from the All The Trimmings Ribbon Combo Pack using a Glue Dot. I added a few Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to the card front. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the boughs image from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped 2 pinecones from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the boughs. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I stamped the boughs image from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the pinecone image from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the boughs.
