Happy Friday Eve! Welcome to another week with the Happy Inkin’. Thursday Blog Hop. This week the team was challenged to create a card using a sketch. I used Stampin’ Up Merry Mischief alongside Stampin’ Up Winter Dreams DSP. I love the Barely Blush paired with the Secret Sea.

Here is this week’s sketch:

The card front is a panel of Stampin’ Up Winter Dreams DSP adhered to a Barely Blush mat. I adhered the layers to a Secret Sea card base.

I stamped Santa with a present from Merry Mischief Stamp Set using black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock. I colored the stamped image with Stampin’ Blends. I die cut the stamped image with the coordinating dies.

I stamped the pine tree from Stampin’ Up Holly Jolly Branches with Peaceful Pine ink on a piece of Basic White. I die cut the image with the coordinating dies.

I die cut a piece of Barely Blush cardstock with Stampin’ Up Sweet Words & Labels Dies. I adhered the label die cut to the card front with liquid adhesive. I added the Santa & tree die cut to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from Merry Mischief Stamp Set with Secret Sea ink and die cut it with the coordinating dies. I adhered the sentiment die cut to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I finished up the front by adding a few Secret Sea snowflakes from Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes.

The inside is a panel of Basic White with the sentiment stamped from Holly Jolly Branches Stamp Set with Secret Sea ink. I adhered the stamped panel to a Barely Blush mat prior to adhering to the Secret Sea cardbase.

Thanks so much for hopping by! Up next is Terry Lynn.
