Good Thursday morning – and time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a fun sketch challenge today and I’m using Sentimental Christmas DSP for the main focus. Let’s take a look…

I am so loving the new Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder from the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog! I embossed a Garden Green panel in that Forever Plaid EF (4 1/4 x 5 12) and adhered it to the Garden Green card front (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2). I took a panel of the Sentimental Christmas DSP (3 1/2 x 5) and adhered it to a slightly larger Basic White panel and added it to the card front with dimensionals. I cut a 1 5/8 x 2 5/8 Basic White and added a tree from the Sentimental Christmas DSP that I die cut w/ Peaceful Evergreen Dies. It isn’t an exact match but I thought it worked! I used a Sentimental Christmas DSP scrap 1/2 x 3 to stamp the sentiment in Poppy Parade ink. The sentiment comes from Greetings of the Season stamp set. I angled one end and attached with dimensionals. As a final touch I added three Real Red & White Adhesive-Backed Peppermints – which have become an all-time favorite!!!

For the inside of the card I added a strip of the Sentimental Christmas DSP to the Basic White panel then some presents that I fussy cut from the Sentimental Christmas DSP. I stamped the sentiment in Garden Green ink using the Sentimental Wishes stamp set. This was adhered to the inside & bingo – the card was complete!

For the envelope… more of the same pattern for both the envelope flap (2 1/4 x 6) adhered & trimmed to fit) and for the envelope front (5/8 x 5 3/4). This is a very traditional Christmas card & I love the colors & the DSP. The sketch was a fun challenge. And the thing about this challenge, it could be done with just about ANY of the DSP patterns & images stamped to coordinate. The sentiment could easily be changed to happy birthday or just a note or thinking of you. – making a wonderful card set gift pack. IDEA!!!
