I used the Stampin’ Up! Tidings & Trimmings stamp set bundle 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.  Yippee…the first Christmas card of 2021 is in the books!!

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

I started by adhering a panel from the Tidings of Christmas 6″ x 6″ DSP to the front of an Evening Evergreen card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I cut another panel of the Tidings Of Christmas DSP with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and I adhered it to a panel of Soft Succulent card stock with Stampin’ Seal.

I wrapped a strand of Linen Thread around the panel twice and tied a bow (on the wrong side according to the sketch!).  Then I stamped the sentiment from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Cherry Cobbler card stock, sprinkled it with gold embossing powder from the Metallics Embossing Powder and heat embossed it.  I cut the sentiment out with one of the Tasteful Labels Dies and then adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.

I cut panels of Evening Evergreen and Cherry Cobbler card stocks with dies from the Christmas Trimmings Dies and then adhered them with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set to Evening Evergreen ink and then added two strips of Tidings Of Christmas DSP 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.
