Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’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! Perched In A Tree Bundle along with the Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Texture Chic DSP to a Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Gray Granite and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image using my Aspen Tree Dies. On a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock, I stamped the tree branch from the Perched In A Tree stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut the image using my Aspen Tree Dies. From panels of Rose Gold Specialty Paper and Gold and Rose Gold 6 X 6 Metallic Specialty Paper, I cut 3 leaves using the Aspen Tree Dies.

I embossed a panel of Vellum Paper using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the branch to the Vellum using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the bird and leaves to the branch using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the Vellum to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue behind the branch and bird.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Perched In A Tree stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Perched In A Tree stamp set in Soft Succulent Ink on a Basic White Panel. I stamped the splatter image by the sentiment in Soft Succulent Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered a strip of Texture Chic DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Succulent mat then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Texture Chic DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by 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 and see everyone’s projects today.

Final Days!!

Some things are great on their own but become epic when they are paired with something else: cereal and milk, toast and butter, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. We may be biased, but our favorite combo is our stamp sets and dies—and that’s what the Perfect Partners promotion is all about! 

We created six new dies that coordinate with stamp sets in the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog and the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog. These coordinating dies will only be available during this promotion and will not be offered in any catalog.  

These stamp sets and dies are available separately or as a bundle. By buying the bundle, you and your customers will save 10% off the retail price. 

Put these wonderful stamp sets and dies together for more papercrafting fun!
