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 Mary’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! Online Exclusive Gathering Moments Bundle along with the Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today. These products will be available starting September 3rd. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

This is our sketch for this week.

Adhere a panel of Gathering Together DSP to a Cajun Craze card base with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere another panel of Gathering Together DSP to a Crushed Curry mat with Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the leaf and acorn images from the Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Cling Stamp Set in Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso and Old Olive Inks. Cut the images out using the Gathering Moments Dies.

On a panel of Old Olive, stamp the sentiment from Gathering Moments stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the die cut leaves and acorn to the side of the sentiment with Glue Dots. Tie a double bow using the Early Espresso Linen Thread and adhere it to the bottom of the leaves with a Glue Dot. Add a Cajun Craze & Gold Dot to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Old Olive Ink to a Basic White panel. Stamp the acorn image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Early Espresso Ink to the top of the panel. Adhere 2 panels of Gathering Together DSP to the sides of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Crushed Curry mat then to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base.

To complete your card decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the leaf images from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Old Olive Inks on the envelope front Adhere a panel of Gathering Together DSP to the envelope flap.
