Welcome back to another Inkin’ Krew blog hop! Our very talented team is doing a blog hop featuring Stampin’ Up! products. This month we are all creating projects with a “Giving Thanks” theme and I’m featuring the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set bundle for my card.

I started by adhering a panel of patterned paper from the Nests Of Winter DSP to the front of a Gray Granite card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Then I cut a panel of Basic White card stock with one of the Nested Essentials Dies two times and then adhered the two die cuts to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a strand of Basic Black twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack twice around the card front and tied a bow.

I stamped the sentiment from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in Gray Granite ink on a panel of Basic Beige card stock. I cut around the sentiment with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies and then adhered the die cut circle to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a panel of Granny Apple Green card stock from the Reindeer Memories Two-Tone Cardstock with the sprig dies from the Winterly Tree Tops Dies and then adhered the die cut sprigs to the card front with Mini Glue Dots.

I stamped the swag image from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then colored the image with Light and Dark Shaded Spruce, Granny Apple Green and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out with the coordinating Winterly Tree Tops Dies and then adhered the die cut image to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots.

I cut the bird image from the Nests Of Winter DSP with the coordinating die from the Winterly Tree Tops Dies. I adhered the bird to the card front with Mini Glue Dots and then adhered two Very Vanilla dots from the Earth Tones Shimmer Gems (restocking around October 14) to finish the card front.

I adhered a strip of Nests Of Winter DSP to a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.
