Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers. I was so excited to be asked to join in with the weekly ‘Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop’ and today is the first day for me to join in. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by. This week was a fun Sketch Challenge. Be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects, I’m sure you will love them. Here’s what I came up with for their sketch.
Here is the sketch I got to work from.
I started by adhering a panel of Wrapped In Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Plaid Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on the bottom of a Shaded Spruce cardstock panel. I immediately sprinkled it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the Shaded Spruce card front on top of the Wrapped In Plaid Specialty DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I cut out the largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies from Whisper White cardstock, I then embossed it using the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder. I cut out the largest scalloped circle from the Layering Circles Dies from a Gold Foil Sheet. I adhered the Whisper White stitched circle to the Gold Foil scalloped circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I punched out 3 trees using my Pine Tree Punch, one in Cherry Cobbler, one in Shaded Spruce and one in Wrapped In Plaid Specialty DSP. I adhered the Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce trees to the Whisper White circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the DSP tree on top of the other 2 using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a knot from a piece of Shaded Spruce/Gold Striped 3/8″ Ribbon and adhered it to the matted stitched circle using a Glue Dot. I adhered the artwork to the top of the Shaded Spruce card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the plaid tree image from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Inks on the bottom of the Whisper White panel. I punched another tree using my Pine Tree Punch from a piece of Wrapped In Plaid Specialty DSP and adhered it on top of the stamped trees using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Shaded Spruce mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the plaid tree image from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Inks on the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a panel of the Wrapped In Plaid Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, welcome and be sure to hop around and see all the beautiful projects that everyone has made. If you are hopping over from Amy Koenders blog, welcome to my blog. The 2nd Tuesday of every month this amazing group of ladies puts together a blog hop and you are guaranteed to see a lot of gorgeousness. This months theme is ‘Birthday’. I made a fun fold card for today’s blog hop. I saw this design on Pinterest, but can not remember who made it. Here is my card.
There are a lot of pieces to my card and all the measurements are found below. I started with a Highland Heather panel of Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a Basic Black mat using Snail. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Humming Along Stamp Set in Highland Heather Ink on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. I punched the sentiment out using the Pretty Label Punch. I punched out 2 more of the labels from my Basic Black cardstock.
Using the Butterfly Duet Punch, I punched out some butterflies from a couple different Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (Sale-A-Bration item). The great thing about this punch is it not only punches out the butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set it also fits the butterflies on the Botanical Butterfly DSP which is a FREE item with a $50 during Sale-A-Bration. I adhered 2 small and 1 large butterfly to the card front and 1 small butterfly to the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added one of the Butterfly Elements (another Sale-A-Bration item) behind the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I also added one of the Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the sentiment. I adhered the card front to a Highland Heather card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On the inside I adhered 2 panels of the Botanical Butterfly DSP to Basic Black mats using Snail and I adhered them both to either side of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Using my Big Shot I cut out 4 stitched squares from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies in the Highland Heather Gingham Gala DSP. I adhered all 4 of them to a Basic Black mat and a Highland Heather mat both cut from my Layering Squared Framelits Dies, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a butterfly punched out from the Botanical Butterfly DSP, to each of the squares using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins to each of the squares. I adhered a Basic Black strip of paper, which had been scored, to the inside only adhering it on the 2 end sections. I adhered each of the squares to a section of the Basic Black strip using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Here is a top view of the inside.
After I was all finished with the inside I realized that I didn’t leave a spot to put a sentiment or write, So I added another panel to the back.
I adhered a panel of the Highland Heather Gingham Gala DSP to a Basic Black mat using Snail. On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Forever Lovely Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I added a couple more of the butterflies punched out from the Botanical Butterfly DSP and adhered them to the Whisper White panel and cut off what over hung using my Paper Snips. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the card back using Snail and adhered it to the back of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
