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 Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch 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 sketch.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Umbrella Days Bundle (available Nov 5), along with the Stylish Shapes Dies, Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, 2024-2026 In-Color 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Happiest Day Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.
This is our sketch for this week.
Adhere a panel of Subtle DSP to a Pool Party card base using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Pool Party, stamp the rain image from the Stampin’ Up! Umbrella Days Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the image using Clear Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the image out using the largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the die cut panel to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue.
Stamp the small girl and dog images from the Umbrella Days stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Color the images using Crumb Cake, Ivory, Night of Navy and Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the images out using the Umbrella Days Dies. Using the Umbrella Days Dies, cut the puddle die from a panel of Pool Party and the detailed umbrella and dogs’ coat from a panel of 2024-2026 In-Color DSP. Adhere the detailed umbrella pieces to the girl’s umbrella and the coat on the dog using Liquid Glue. Adhere the puddle die cuts to the bottom of the embossed rain panel using Glue Dots. Adhere the girl and dog to the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a panel of Pool Party, stamp the sentiment from the Umbrella Days stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the 3rd largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the sentiment to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2024-2026 In-Color Resin Dots to the sentiment.
Stamp the sentiment from the Happiest Day stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a strip of Subtle DSP to the top of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.
Complete the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the girl and dog mages from the Umbrella Days stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Color the images using Crumb Cake, Ivory, Night of Navy and Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhered a panel of 2024-2026 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.
