Good morning, good morning. It’s Thursday and time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday blog hop. We have a sketch challenge today and I’ve chosen to work with Celebrating Expressions Memories & More Card Pack and the very versatile Greetings from All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. I’ve made two cards from these Stamp[in’ Up! items – hope you enjoy!

This card has bold bright colors and I appreciate it’s friendly appearance. It makes me want to know whaat’s inside 😀 I used the Textured Notes Dies tom cut the panels from the card pack- the largest die for the largest image, then the 3rd & 4th largest for the two layered together. For the sentiment panel, the smallest die. The sentiment is from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephmera Pack and is on dimensionals. Three Shimmer Faceted Dots in Berry Burst bring your eye to the sentiment – and they are from the Floral Charm Suite of products.

For the inside, another panel of the Celebration Expressions Memories & More card pack adhered to the card base. Then I used the 3rd largest die in the Textured Notes Dies for the Basic White panel and the very narrowist die for the Berry Burst background strip. Again, a sdentiment from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephmera Pack.

For the envelope, another panel of the Celebration Expressions Memories & More card pack adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. Bam – DONE!

Card #2 is a baby birthday card – could be masculine or feminine and uses the same Celebration Expressions Memories & More card pack. I turned the card to make it a portrait card but still follows the sketch challenge.

Here I used my paper trimmer for cutting the card panels: front is 3 x 4, 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 (Lemon Lime Twist), and 4 x 5 1/4. The card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 (Balmy Blue. I added a Bordered Ribbon in Petunia Pop and the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots. Panels are again from the Celebration Expressions Mix & Match card pack and the sentiment is from the Greetings for All Ephmera pack.

For the inside… Basic White 4 x 5 1/4, then a Celebration Expressions Mix & Match card layer, followed by the sentiment from Greeting for All Ephmera pack. And on my desk is the cute cupcake with a candle – from an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Birthday Celebrations.

For the envelope, another panel of the Celebrations Expressions Mix & Match card pack adhered to the flap. I then used a Basic Border Die to give it some charm and scallop edges.

So, here are the two card & envelopes – both using the same sketch but turned 90 degrees and a few more additions. Would love to know if you have a favorite. To purchase these products, see the info below the list of those participating in today’s hop.
