Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes bundle from the March Online Exclusives release with some new products from to make a thank you card for today. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a pretty sketch challenge this week, and I interpreted it on a portrait card:

I selected the landscape section from one of the panels of the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and cut it to 2-1/2″ x 4″. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set on the panel using Pecan Pie ink. I used the long side of one of the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes rectangle dies to cut the top and bottom of the Pecan Pie panel and adhered the DSP to the die cut panel.

I stamped the large leaf cluster from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using Mossy Meadow ink on a fairly plain panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP. I stamped it in the top right corner and then again in the lower left section. I stamped the woven circle basket using Crumb Cake ink and adhered the panel to the front of a Basic Beige card base. I cut a Basic White panel with the floral die from the Beautiful Motifs dies and snipped it in the middle. I adhered the two sections to the card with glue dots.

I wrapped the landscape panel twice with linen thread and tied a bow before adhering it to the card with dimensionals and finished with a textured metallic dot near the sentiment.

For the inside of the card I stamped the leaf cluster and woven circle basket from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using Mossy Meadow and Crumb Cake inks on Basic White. I trimmed the top and bottom with dSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The gorgeous Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ DSP is so versatile and the landscapes make nice focal points for cards. I was pleased that the images from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set would compliment the DSP so well and of course those rectangle dies make wonderful bordered mats!
