Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Jaimie’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Giving Thanks”. We can interpret this however we want.  Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat Bundle for my card today.

I started by stamping the small wheat image from the Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat Cling Stamp Set in Sahara Sand Ink on a Very Vanilla card front. I cut the bottom of the panel using the Basic Borders Dies. I embossed the panel using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of He’s The Man Designer Series Paper to the bottom front of a Very Vanilla Thick card base. I adhered the embossed panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the large wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut the image our using the Wheat Dies. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the wheat image and tied a knot. I adhered the wheat to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut 3 of the wheat dies from a panel of Distressed Gold Paper and adhered them under the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a gold Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dot to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the small wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Sahara Sand Ink. I cut the border die from the Wheat Dies from a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock. I adhered the border to the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Very Vanilla mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I adhered a panel of He’s The Man DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting by my blog today, I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.
