Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’ve got another super simple thank you card today made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set and the Gathering Together specialty designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week:

Use the large leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set and Pecan Pie ink to stamp on a the plain side of a panel of Gathering Together specialty DSP. Stamp the image twice, making a double outward spiral design.

Adhere the stamped panel to the front of an Early Espresso card base with liquid glue. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set using Early Espresso ink and cut it out with the circle die from the Spotlight on Nature dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card with dimensionals.

Wrap a length of Linen Thread around the top of the card and make a bow. Finish the card with Antique Pearls.

For the inside, stamp the leaf spray from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes stamp set on a strip of DSP using Pecan Pie ink and adhere it to the side of a Basic White panel. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes bundle is a wonderful bundle and I feel guilty not using the great rectangular dies. But the images and sentiments are great too, especially for this time of year.
