Good Thursday morning stamping friends and 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. 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! Decorative Trees Bundle along with the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper and Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder for my card today. For each pack of this DSP purchased Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 to support Children’s Literacy.

This is our sketch for this week.

Adhere a panel of Sentimental Christmas DSP to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Pretty Peacock card base using Liquid Glue.

Emboss a panel of Basic White using the Snowflake Sky EF. Adhere 2 strips of Cherry Cobbler to the top and bottom of the panel. Adhere 2 strips of White Glimmer Paper to the Cherry Cobbler strips on the top and bottom. Adhere the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Pretty Peacock stamp the detail pine bough image from the Stampin’ Up! Decorative Trees Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink. Cut the image out using the Decorative Trees Dies. from a panel of White Glimmer Paper, cut the snowflake detail die using the Decorative Trees Dies. Adhere the details die to the top of the stamped tree image. Adhere the tree to the center of the embossed Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes to the card front.

On the inside, stamp the outline tree image from the Decorative Trees stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. Stamp the sentiment from the Decorative Trees stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink inside the tree image. Adhere a strip of Sentimental Christmas DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

To complete your card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the outline tree image from the Decorative Trees stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the tree pine bough image from the Decorative Trees stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink inside the outlined image. Adhere a panel of Sentimental Christmas DSP to the envelope flap.
