I used the Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas 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.

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

I started by adhering a panel of patterned paper from the Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP (Online Exclusive item) to the front of a Secret Sea card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Then I adhered a panel of Traditions Of Christmas Specialty DSP to the front of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I cut panels of Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler and Pecan Pie card stocks with the pine bough, berries and pinecone dies from the Branching Out Dies. I adhered the die cuts to the card front with Mini Glue Dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Merry Christmas stamp set in Secret Sea ink on a panel of Basic White card stock.

I cut the sentiment out with one of the Branching Out Dies and then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered five Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Wishing You Joy stamp set in Secret Sea ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then adhered a strip of Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP to finish the inside of the card.
