Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Karen Finkle’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Theme Challenge. I decided to make an Anniversary card using our theme.  Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s awesome projects. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Friendly Hello Bundle for my card today.

Our theme is LOVE this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Friendly Hello DSP to a Basic Gray card base. I adhered 2 more panels of the Friendly Hello DSP to Basic Gray mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the longer panel to the card front first, then the shorter panel on top using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a Heart & Home Doily I masked off the circle by cutting a circle in the center of a Post-It Note and placing it over the doily. I stamped the bird image from the from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Versamark Ink on the doily. I removed the mask and immediately sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the doily to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Love & Happiness stamp set in Basic Gray Ink. I stamped the tiny berry image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Petal Pink Ink around the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Love & Happiness stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flower image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Friendly Hello DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through all our projects today.
