Good Thursday morning stamping friends 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 the beautiful projects they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Mary’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Color Challenge to work with. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s color.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweetly Sentimental Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies, Party Banner Dies and Swirls of Magic Embossing Folder for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

Emboss a panel of Basic Black using the Swirls of Magic EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Basic Black card base,

Using the 7th & 8th from largest Party Banner Dies, cut panels of Real Red and Basic White. On the Real Red banner, stamp the script image from the Sweetly Sentimental stamp set in Real Red Ink. On the bottom of the Basic White banner, stamp the large floral image from the Sweetly Sentimental stamp set in Black Ink. Adhere the Basic White banner to the Real Red banner. Adhere the layered banner to the Basic Black card base.

Following the directions from the Stampin’ Hot Foil System, using the new Red Foil (available Sept 1), foil the sentiment using the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies. Cut the sentiment out using the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the top of the banner using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Sequins (available Sept 1) to the card front.

Emboss the top of a panel of Basic White using the Swirls of Magic EF. Following the Stampin’ Hot Foil System, foil the sentiment from Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies using the Red Foil. Cut the sentiment out using the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies. Adhere the sentiment at the bottom of the embossed portion of the Basic White panel. Stamp the floral image from the Sweetly Sentimental stamp set in Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete the card. Stamp the floral image from the Sweetly Sentimental stamp set in Black Ink on the envelope front and flap.
