Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Shirley’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays”. We can interpret this however we want. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Labels Bundle along with the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper, Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Brushed Silver & Gold Specialty Paper and Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Score & fold a Lost Lagoon card base as listed below. Adhere 2 panels of Sentimental Christmas DSP to Pretty Peacock mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panels to the fronts of the Lost Lagoon card base using Liquid Glue. Adhere another panel of Sentimental Christmas DSP to a Brushed Silver mat using Stampin’ Seal. Emboss a panel of Pretty Peacock using the Snowflake Sky EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Brushed Silver mat using Liquid Glue.

Adhere the larger layered DSP panel to the top left card front panel using Stampin’ Seal, only on the left side of the panel. Adhere the layered embossed panel to the bottom right card front panel using Stampin’ Seal only on the right side of the panel. The left side should be able to insert under the right side slightly.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Silver Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the Christmas Labels Dies. Thread a piece of Silver & White 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon through the die cut sentiment. Adhere the sentiment to the right side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the candle image from the Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the image using Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Gray Granite, Old Olive and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Complete the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the candle image from the Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Color the image the same as for the card. Adhere a panel of Sentimental Christmas DSP to the envelope flap.
