Good Morning! Welcome to the May Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “For the Boys/Men” so I pulled out my Feathered Flight stamp set to make a simple, masculine thinking of you card. The beautiful Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ designer series paper makes a wonderful background for the ducks in the stamp set. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.
I stamped the small flying ducks from the Stampin’ Up! Feathered Flight cling stamp set using Wild Wheat ink on a panel of Thoughtful Journey designer series paper. I adhered the stamped DSP to a Misty Moonlight mat using liquid glue.
I separated a length of Wild Wheat jute and wrapped a single strand around the DSP panel and tied a knot. I adhered the panel to the front of a Boho Blue card base with dimensionals.
I cut two pine sprigs from the Encircled In Nature dies and adhered them to the card with glue dots, tucking them under the jute.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Feathered Flight stamp set using Wild Wheat ink on a Boho Blue panel. I cut out the sentiment with the Deckled Rectangles dies using a two step method, lining up one corner and cutting two sides and then cutting the opposite corner and the remaining sides. I adhered the label to the card using dimensionals over the jute and die cut sprigs.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Feathered Flight stamp set in Wild Wheat ink on a Basic White panel. I used twice stamped off Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the large duck and trimmed the side with DSP. I adhered the panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and then to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ designer series paper is so beautiful and I love how it looks with the flying ducks from the Stampin’ Up! Feathered Flight stamp set. A quiet, beautiful morning in the woods with a loved one!
