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 Thanks & Giving stamp set for my card.

My card design was inspired by Tic Tac Toe Challenge TTTC303.  I went from upper left to lower right on the diagonal.

I started by adhering a panel of Autumn Opulence Specialty DSP to the front of an Early Espresso card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I cut the ends of a panel of Metal Effects Specialty Paper with one of the banner dies from Nested Essentials Dies.  I embossed the panel with the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder (restocking around December 21) and then adhered the panel to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the wreath image from the Thanks & Giving stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock and then colored the image with Light and Dark Cajun Craze, Pecan Pie, Golden Glow and Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut around the image with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies.  I cut a panel of Early Espresso card stock with one of the Spotlight On Nature Dies and then adhered the two die cuts together with Stampin’ Seal.  Then I adhered the layered circles to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Thanks & Giving stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Cajun Craze card stock, sprinkled it with copper embossing powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder and then heat embossed it.  I cut the image out with the Detail Scissors (restocking around October 19) and then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered three copper dots from the Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems (restocking around November 9) to finish the card front.

I adhered a strip of Autumn Opulence DSP to a panel of Very Vanilla 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.
