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 Mary’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video on 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! Nature’s Symphony Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Lasting Linen Stamp Set, Natures Walk Designer Series Paper, Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper (all available January 6) and the Textured Notes Dies for my card today.

Here’s our sketch for this week

My colors for today’s card are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #478

Using the Nature’s Symphony Dies cut the large leaf die from the center of the panel of Natures Walk DSP and the Shaded Spruce panel. Adhere the panel of Natures Walk DSP to the front of the Shaded Spruce card base. Stamp the panel of Natural Hues Textured paper with the Lasting Linen stamp set in Basic Beige Ink. Cut the panels of Secret Sea and stamped Natural Hues Textured paper using the Textured Notes Dies.

Adhere the die cut panel of Secret Sea to the card front on an angle. Stamp the large leaf image from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the stamped panel of Natural Hues Textured paper. Adhere the stamped panel to the card front. Snip the large Shaded Spruce die cut leaf to make 2. Adhere the die cut DSP leaf to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the Shaded Spruce leaf under the DSP leaf. Tie a multi loop bow with the Linen Thread and adhere it to the stems of the leaves.

On a panel of Shaded Spruce stamp the sentiment from Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Fussy cut the sentiment with snips. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Color a few of the Holographic Resin Dots using the Real Red Stampin’ Blends Marker and adhere them to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. Stamp the larger leaf image from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. Adhere the die cut leaf that you sniped off the larger die cut piece to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the small leafy image from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in shaded Spruce Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Natures Walk DSP to the envelope flap.
