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. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful Bundle along with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder, Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Gathering Moments Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week

Emboss a panel of Gathering Together DSP using the Gathering Leaves EF. Adhere the embossed panel to an Early Espresso mat with Liquid Glue. Adhere a smaller panel of Gathering Together DSP to the center of the card front with Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic Beige card base with Stampin’ Seal.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Label Me Grateful Cling Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Cut the sentiment out using the Label Me Grateful Dies. Using the Label Me Grateful Dies, cut panels of Basic Beige, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pecan Pie and Earthen toned Metallic Paper.

Create a collage on the card front with the leaves, sprigs and acorns you die cut using Glue Dots and Liquid Glue. Adhere the sentiment over the collage using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Label Me Grateful stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. Stamp the leaf image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the top of the panel. Stamp the acorn image from Gathering Moments stamp set in Early Espresso Ink next to the leaf. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to an Early Espresso mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the leaf image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the envelope front 2 times. Stamp the acorn image from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the leaves. Adhere a panel of Gathering Together DSP to the envelope flap.
