Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Today’s card features the pretty Countryside Inn designer series paper with the gorgeous Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves photopolymer stamp set. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge for our Blog Hop this week:

I embossed a panel of Countryside Inn designer series paper with the Countryside Blossoms embossing folder and adhered it to a Misty Moonlight mat. This pattern fits perfectly in the embossing folder, so you add the embossed texture to the paper and it comes out so pretty! I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Boho Blue card base.

I cut a leaf cluster with the Bough punch from Misty Moonlight and cut the top section again so I had 1-1/2 leaf clusters. I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set in Balmy Blue on Basic White and punched them out with the Bough Punch. I adhered the stem of the flowers to the full leaf cluster with liquid glue and adhered all the leaves to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on Boho Blue card stock. I cut it out with the fat, long banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies using the two step die cutting method, so that it was shorter and fit the sentiment. I adhered a length of Night of Navy ribbon to the back with glue dots and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card front with Boho Blue dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the branches from the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves stamp set in Boho Blue ink in the corners of a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how the Bough punch coordinates perfectly with the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves florals! And the sentiments in the stamp set are really beautiful!
