Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! We’ve got a sketch challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table – I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
When I saw our sketch, I saw “background stamp”. And the one I decided to pull out for you was the Knit Together stamp set – with the bundled Knit Sweater dies. And – for the sentiment – and a few other elements (like LEAVES!) – out came the Time of Giving stamp set and bundled Giving Gifts Dies. Take a look-see:
I think this could easily work as a card for a guy, don’t you?
Here’s our hop sketch challenge.
And I pulled the colors from The Paper Players. Crumb Cake is my 4th color!
And – for the Cupcake Inspirations challenge – where…anything goes!
I started by using Liquid Glue to adhere a piece of Early Espresso paper from the Neutrals 6″ x 6″ DSP to the front of an Early Espresso card base.
Next, I placed a Crumb Cake panel into my Stamparatus and stamped it with the Knit Together background stamp in Crumb Cake.
Using the reindeer (or white-tail buck, if you will! 😉 ) die in the Knit Sweater die set – I cut two rows of them from the stamped panel.
I wrapped some Linen Thread a few times around the bottom of the panel, securing it in back with Glue Dots. Then I adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used the leaves die in the Giving Gifts die set (part of the Time of Giving bundle) to cut some leaves. I cut Pumpkin Pie and Pale Papaya from the Regals and 2020-2022 In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP packs. I cut two sets of each color. Had some leaves leftover, but… I needed more large leaves than I could get with just one pass! 🤷♀️
I laid out all the leaves and then adhered them. I did every other leaf with a Stampin’ Dimensional – and the alternate leaves with Liquid Glue. That ended up making all my Pumpkin Pie leaves popped up – and all the Pale Papaya leaves adhered flat!
I stamped the Time of Giving sentiment in Early Espresso on the plaid Pale Papaya DSP and cut it with a Stitched Rectangle Die.
I adhered the sentiment over the Linen Thread with Stampin Dimensionals.
Then I used Liquid Glue to tuck a few leftover Giving Gifts die cut leaves under the left end.
I tied a little Linen Thread bow around the wrapped Linen Thread – making sure it was set over the leaves and snugged up to the sentiment – and the card front was done.
For the inside, I stamped a leaf from the Time of Giving stamp set in stamped-off-once Pale Papaya onto a Very Vanilla panel.
Note: this is another stamp that I took the plunge on and cut apart! I can put them all on a block at the same time or one at a time. Easy peasy!
I used Stampin’ Seal to adhere the panel to a Pumpkin Pie mat and into the Early Espresso card base and the card was done.
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got the Time of Giving leaf in full-strength Pale Papaya on the front…
…and more Early Espresso Neutrals 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! The Knit Together background stamp in the tone-on-tone Crumb Cake looks like a cozy sweater to me! Add in some “deer” from the Knit Sweater Dies and a few leaves from the Giving Gifts die set and…I think you’ve got a winning Fall sweater! The Time of Giving stamp set is so versatile – covering Fall, Halloween and Christmas!
