Stampin’ Up! Sweet Words & Labels Old Friends Are The Best Friends Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Words & Labels stamp set to create my project for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  We’ve got a sketch challenge this week and this is what I made for it.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Words & Labels Old Friends Are The Best Friend Card

Here is the sketch that we’re using this week:

I started by adhering a panel of patterned paper from the Silly Old Bear DSP (Online Exclusive item) to a panel of Early Espresso card stock with Stampin’ Seal.  Then I wrapped a strand of Linen Thread around the panel twice and tied a bow.  I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Mossy Meadow card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I cut a panel of Early Espresso card stock with one of the Perennial Postage Dies three times and then adhered panels of Very Vanilla card stock with Stampin’ Seal to the die cuts.  I adhered the layered panels to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

I cut panels of Early Espresso and Crumb Cake card stocks with the stump dies from the Sweet Old Friends Dies (Online Exclusive item restocking around June 22) and then adhered the die cuts with Multipurpose Liquid Glue together and then to the card front.  I cut a panel of Silly Old Bear DSP with the coordinating dies from the Sweet Old Friends Dies and then adhered the die cuts to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Words & Labels stamp set (Online Exclusive item) in Early Espresso ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock and then cut the image with one of the Perennial Postage Dies.  I cut a panel of Early Espresso card stock with the little arrow die from the Sweet Old Friends Dies twice and then adhered the die cuts to the back of the sentiment with Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then added two dots from the Earthy Matte Dots to finish the card front.

I stamped the Winnie The Pooh image from the Sweet Old Friends stamp set (Online Exclusive item) in Early Espresso ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock and then colored the image with Light and Dark Golden Glow and Hydrangea Hue Stampin’ Blends Markers to finish the inside of the card.
