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 Color 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 colors.

I used the new Stamping Up! Branching Out Bundle along with the new Online Exclusive Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder (both items will be available Sept 3rd) and the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

Emboss Basic White card front using the Gathering Leaves EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Pecan Pie mat with Liquid Glue. Adhere 2 panels of Floral Impressions DSP to coordinating Pecan Pie mats with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base with Liquid Glue.

Adhere the larger DSP layered panel to the card front with Liquid Glue. Adhere the smaller DSP layered panel to the card front, overlapping the 1st panel, with Liquid Glue. Using the Branching Out Dies, cut the sprig die from a panel of Old Olive. Adhere the sprig to a Pecan Pie mat. Trim off excess. Adhere the layered strip to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Branching Out Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pecan Pie Ink. Using the smallest Branching Out Dies, cut the top portion of the sentiment. Move the die to the desired size, matching up the dashes, and cut the bottom portion of the sentiment. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Branching Out stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the splatter image from the Branching Out stamp set in Pool Party Ink on either side of the sentiment. Adhere a panel of Floral Impressions DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to compete your card. Adhere a strip of the Floral Impressions DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.
