Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions for the Happy Thursday Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

It’s Thursday and time for a Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!!! We have a sketch challenge today and it’s always interesting how others interpret a challenge,.I have used the Thoughtful Expressions Bundle aND Inspirational Sketches stamp set for my card today. I used other items as well, but these are from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions Grateful Card. Thu Hop 2/1

My card base is Thick Basic White 4 1?4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2, a very basic card base. The next layer is Crushed Curry that has been run through the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. I layered another panel of Basic White on top of that 3 3/8 x 4 5/8 then Basic Gray run through the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder 3 14 x 4 1/2. The very front layer is this stunningly gorgeous die cut from Thoughtful Expressions Dies in Basic White, stamped with this beautiful stamp of daisies from Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Basic Gray ink and added to the card front with dimensionals. The sentiment is also from Inspirational Sketches stamp set and is stamped with VersaMark ink then sprinkled with Black Embossing Powder and heat set with the heat tool – all on a scrap of Crushed Curry card stock. It was adhered with liquid glue and a dimensional on the far left end. For a final touch I added several Iris=descent Pearly /Basic Jewels for glam. This was another ‘first play’ with Inspirational Sketches stamp set– love this set!

For the inside… A panel of Crushed Curry 4 18 x 5 3/8 then a Basic White panel stamped: Basic Gray ink with flowers from Inspirational Sketches stamp set in opposite corners and a sentiment from Thoughtful Expressions stamp set.

For the envelope… I stamped this floral image in Basic Gray ink from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set on the envelope front – and left it at that. I often emboss the envelope flap, but chose not to this time. I like the simplicity for this card.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Reflection Stamp set

Good morning! ‘Tis Tuesday Dec 19… we decorated our Christmas tree last night. It has become tradition to have a couple of family members come for dinner & tree ornament placement on the tree. Hubby got up Sunday morning at 4 AM and put all the lights on – 6-7 strands worth. It is thick with lights :O) Anyway – that isn’t why you’re here. Let’s check out this new stamp set from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog…

Stampin' Up! Quiet Reflection stamp set

I used Mossy Meadow as the card base, Basic White and Neutrals 6×6 DSP then stamped a Basic White panel for the top layer. The stamping used Gray Granite ink, which looks a bit soft brown & gray. It’s perfect for this ‘scene’ – it’s a woodsy shadow look that is quite peaceful. And it’s meant to be. The sentiment is also from the Quiet Reflection stamp set and it was stamped with Gray Granite ink, as I mentioned earlier. I adhered the Basic White strip to Gray Granite card stock, put dimensionals on that and attached it to the stamped panel. As a final step, I added three Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots around the tree shadow.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Reflection, inside

For the inside of the card, the sentiment from Quiet Reflection is stamped in Gray Granite ink on the Basic White panel. I added a strip of the Neutrals 6×6 DSP in Mossy Meadow to the bottom – and that was it. Love this font!!!

Stampin' Up! Quiet Reflection card & envelope

For the envelope – more of the Neutrals 6×6 DSP in Mossy Meadow adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. And that was it – kept very simple.

This stamp set may be found on page 63 in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator and are interested in receiving a catalog, please connect with me.
