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 Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools Bundle along with the Sale-a-bration Toadstool Gardens 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper (free with a qualifying order), Stampin’ Up! With You In Mind Photopolymer Stamp Set and the new Online Exclusive Fancy Borders Dies that will be available starting March 4th for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Terrific Toadstools Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Soft Sea Foam card front. Stamp the leaf image from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink to the left of the sentiment. Stamp the trio toadstool stems in Gray Granite to the right of the sentiment and the trio toadstool caps in Azure Afternoon Ink on the stems.

Using the new Fancy Borders Dies, cut the 2 panels of Toadstool Gardens DSP. Adhere the 2 panels to the top and bottom of the card front using Liquid Glue. Adhere the card front to a Soft Sea Foam card base. using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the toadstool caps from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Petunia Pop and Flirty Flamingo Inks. Stamp the stems from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on a panel of Basic White. Punch the caps and the smaller stem out using the Terrific Toadstools Builder Punch. Fussy cut the larger stem using Paper Snips. Adhere the stems to the caps using Glue Dots. Adhere the toadstools to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2024 – 2026 In-Color Resin Dots to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the With You in Mind stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the toadstool stems from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the toadstool caps from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Petunia Pop, Flirty Flamingo and Azure Afternoon Inks on the stems. Adhere the die cut pieces of Toadstool Gardens DSP from the card front panels on the top and bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat then to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete the card. Stamp the toadstool stems from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the toadstool caps from, the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Petunia Pop, Azure Afternoon and Flirty Flamingo Ink on the stems. Stamp the leaf image from the Terrific Toadstools stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the bottom. Adhere a panel of Toadstool Gardens DSP to the envelope flap.
