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 Theme Challenge to work with. Here is my card using this week’s theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Frosted Pinecones Bundle, Winter Dreams Specialty Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! A Christmas Wish Hot Foil Dies and Stampin’ Up! Noel Tidings Stamp Set for my card today.

Although I’m not quite ready, this is our theme for this week 😉

Stamp the large pinecone image from the Frosted Pinecones stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White. Using the Frosted Pinecones Decorative Masks and Small Blending Brushes, add Pecan Pie Ink for Masks 1,2 & 3. Add Peaceful Pine Ink for Mask #4. Use Versamark Ink for Mask #5, then sprinkled the image with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Using the Frosted Pinecones Dies, cut the large pinecone image out along with a few pine boughs from a panel of Peaceful Pine.

Following the directions for the Hot Foil System, use the Silver Opal Foil for the sentiment from A Christmas Wish Hot Foil Dies. Cut the sentiment out using A Christmas Wish Dies.

Adhere a panel of Winter Dreams DSP to a Basic White Thick card base. Adhere the pinecone image to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add the die cut Pine Boughs behind the pinecone. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from Frosted Pinecones stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the pine bough image from the Noel Tidings stamp set in Peaceful Pine Ink on the top of the panel. Stamp the pinecone image from the Noel Tidings stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the pine boughs. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the pine bough image from the Noel Tidings stamp set in Peaceful Pine Ink on the envelope front and flap. Stamp the pinecone image from the Noel Tidings stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the pine bough images.
