I used the Stampin’ Up! Thanks & Giving stamp set from the upcoming September 2026 Online Exclusives to create my project for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a theme challenge this week and this is what I made for it.

I started by scoring a 4″ x 12″ panel of patterned paper from the Autumn Opulence Specialty DSP (Online Exclusive item available September 1) at 2″ and again at 7-1/2″. Then I adhered a panel of Very Vanilla card stock to a panel of Cajun Craze card stock with Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the DSP panel with Stampin’ Seal. Then I adhered three of the preprinted die cuts from the Autumn Opulence DSP to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a 2″ x 12″ panel of Autumn Opulence DSP around the DSP card base to create a belly band and then adhered the ends together in the center with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered two of the preprinted die cuts from the Autumn Opulence DSP with Stampin’ Seal to the belly band with Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the sentiment from the Thanks & Giving stamp set (Online Exclusive item available September 1) in Early Espresso ink on a panel of Golden Glow card stock and then cut around it with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the die cut to the belly band with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then added two dots from the Earthy Matte Dots (Online Exclusive item) to finish the card.
