I used the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes 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.

As you read this, I’ll be flying to Raleigh, NC for the Stampin’ Up! OnStage 2025 event.  Can’t wait to get there to hang out with some of my team members and a few thousand other awesome Demonstrators!!

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

I started by adhering a panel of Basic White card stock to the front of a Basic Black card base with Stampin’ Seal.  Then I adhered a panel of patterned paper from the Botanical Textures DSP (Online Exclusive item) to a panel of Basic Black card stock with Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered another panel of Botanical Textures DSP to the larger DSP panel with Stampin’ Seal and then wrapped a strand of Basic Black twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Twine around the panel twice and then tied a bow.  I adhered the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Textured Notes stamp set (Online Exclusive item) in VersaMark ink on a panel of Basic White card stock, sprinkled it with black embossing powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder and then heat embossed it.  I cut the sentiment out with one of the Framed Scenes Dies (Online Exclusive item) and then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered two black dots from the Neutral Matte Dots (Online Exclusive item) to finish the card front.

Stamp the greenery image from the Textured Notes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.
