Stampin’ Up! Framed & Festive for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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 Theme Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Theme.

Stampin' Up! Framed & Festive 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Framed & Festive Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Fond of Autumn Bundle for my card today.

This is our theme this week.

Stampin' Up! Framed & Festive 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card font using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to an Evening Evergreen mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Framed & Festive 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Framed & Festive stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the leaf/berry portion of the large image from the Stampin’ Up! Fond Of Autumn Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink twice on the Basic White panel. I cut the sentiment out using my Layering Circles Dies. I cut the leaf/berry images out using my Autumn Bouquet Dies. I colored the leaf/berry image using my Cherry Cobbler and Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin' Up! Framed & Festive 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut the coordinating scallop circle from the Layering Circle Dies from a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the scallop circle using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaf/berry die cut images to the card front, behind the sentiment, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Cherry Cobbler Festive Pearls to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Framed & Festive 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Framed & Festive stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf/berry image from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. I colored the image using my Cherry Cobbler and Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Framed & Festive 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf/berry image from the Fond of Autumn stamp set on the envelope front and flap. I colored the images using my Cherry Cobbler and Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Fond of Autumn for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Karen Finkel’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Sketch.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Fond of Autumn Bundle along with the Sale-a-bration Ring of Love Designer Series Paper for my card today.

This is our sketch for this week.

I started by embossing a Mint Macaron card front using the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Rings of Love DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the top of the large floral image from the Fond of Autumn stamp set twice in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the small flower from the Fond of Autumn stamp set twice on the Basic White panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Calypso Coral, Mint Macaron, Pale papaya and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images out using my Autumn Bouquet Dies. I adhered the larger flower images to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the Basic White panel, I stamped the banner from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Night of Navy Ink inside the banner. I cut the banner out using the Autumn Bouquet Dies. I adhered the banner between the flower images using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the 2 smaller flowers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Solid Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on either side of the sentiment. I colored the flowers using my Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat and then to the inside of the Mint Macron card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Fond of Autumn stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Ring of Love DSP 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.
