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 Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. I can’t wait to see what everyone has created this week. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Snow Wonder Bundle along with the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Whimsy & Wonder DSP to a Misty Moonlight card base. I cut another panel of the Whimsy & Wonder DSP using the 3rd largest Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the snowman image from the Stampin’ Up! Snow Wonder Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the image in using my Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow, Polished Pink and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Snow Time Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Basic Gray Classic Matte Dots (available January 4, 2022) for the buttons on the snowman.

On the panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink and cut it out using the Snow Time Dies. I adhered a piece of Polished Pink 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to the card front and adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a Basic White panel. It’s very hard to see in the photo, but I embossed the top of the panel using the Snow Time Dies. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the snowman image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front and colored it in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Whimsy & Wonder DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting 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 all our projects today.
