Good morning, y’all It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a color challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table. I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
I was in need of a birthday card and the Words & Wishes bundle – with it’s pretty die cut sentiments – caught my eye. Pairing it with the Whispering Woods DSP and some Rustic Check 3D Embossing yielded a card that would be great for any recipient on anyone’s list (including mine!). Take a look-see:
And here’s our color challenge!
This card was inspired by the sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps this week.
I started by embossing a 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of Whispering Woods DSP in the Rustic Check 3D Embossing Folder. It’s “sky” part of one of the sheets in the pack.
Next, I cut three 5/8″ wide pieces of the Whispering Woods DSPand used my Detail Scissors to cut a banner end in each of them. I adhered them to the embossed panel – staggering their lengths (I’d made the strips longer than I needed). The two bottom strips I adhered with Liquid Glue and the top one I popped up with Dimensionals.
Using the Detail Scissors, I cut off the excess DSP from the strips – and then used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Pecan Pie cardstock.
Using the shadow sentiment dies in the Words & Wishes die set, I cut out the shadow for “happy” and “birthday”. I cut the corresponding detailed sentiments from the green paper in the Spring Textured Metallic Specialty Paper.
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the detailed die cuts to the shadows – being sure I grabbed the tittle (that’s the dot that goes above the “i”) and adhered it, too.
Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered the two words to the card front.
I used the little dies in the set to cut out several leaves from the lightest paper in the Spring Textured Metallic Specialty Paper.
Using Liquid Glue, I scattered the leaves here and there around the sentiment and the card front was done.
For the inside, I stamped a Words & Wishes sentiment in Garden Green on a Basic White panel. In the corners, I stamped a couple of Words & Wishes gift boxes from the set in Shaded Spruce ink. I colored the boxes with a Light Pretty Peacock and Light Azure Afternoon Stampin’ Blends.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of my Night of Navy card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Words & Wishes presents on the front…
…and more of the Whispering Woods DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I think the Words & Wishes bundle is so fun – it’s got those cool die cut sentiments – PLUS dies to cut out leaves and stamped gifts and the stamped cake! PLUS the stamp set has all sorts of sentiments to complement ALL of it! Whispering Woods DSP has the most gorgeous colors, doesn’t it?!
I hope you like! 🙂
