Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and Happy Independance Day. Hope you have some plans for today that maybe even involves fireworks. Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. I made a super simple card for you using all New Online Exclusive Products. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Iconic Imagery Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Greetings Photopolymer Stamp Set, Iconic Celebrations 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Around the Bend Dies for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering an Iconic Celebrations DSP card front to a Moody Mauve card base using Liquid Glue.

I cut a panel of Old Olive using the Around the Bend Dies. I stamped the sentiments from the Iconic Imagery stamp set in Versamark Ink on the Old Olive panel. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I brushed the leaves with Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

I adhered the Old Olive die cut panel to the bottom left corner of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Clear Ribboned Dots from the Pecan Pie & Clear Adhesive-Backed Dots, to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Greetings stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the outlined leaf image from the Iconic Imagery stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the solid leave image from the Iconic Imagery stamp set in Old Olive Ink over the outlined image. I adhered a strip of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Old Olive mat then to the inside of the Moody Mauve card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the outlined leaf image from the Iconic Imagery stamp set in Moody Mauve Ink on the top of the envelope front. I stamped the solid leaf image from the Iconic Imagery stamp set in Old Olive Ink over the outlined image. I adhered a panel of Iconic Celebrations DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  Now that you’ve seen my card, let’s get on with the hop!  Click the button below to hop over to see what Tara has created today. Happy Hopping!
