Hello and Happy Inkin’ Blog Hop Day! I love Thursday, don’t you?
![Happy-Inkin-Thursday-Blog-Hop-Header](https://i0.wp.com/stampwithnel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Happy-Inkin-Thursday-Blog-Hop-Header.jpg?resize=400%2C258&ssl=1)
Today we have a sketch to work with. Since we’re getting close to Father’s Day, I thought it would be a good card to present to you today.

My card features the Beside Me Stamp Set, Everyday Essentials Dies and the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper.

I started with a panel of Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the front of the card base.
I stamped the Beside Me Stamp Set father and child on Boho Blue Cardstock with Night of Navy Ink and die cut the image with the largest Everyday Essentials Dies circle.
I then stamped the Beside Me Stamp Set sentiment on Basic Beige Cardstock with Boho Blue Ink and die cut the Besides Me Stamp Set sentiment with the smallest Everyday Essentials circle die.

I colored the Basic Beige 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon with the Dark Boho Blue Stampin’ Blends and adhered the ribbon behind the Everyday Essentials Dies circle.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Boho Blue Everyday Essentials Dies circle and adhered it to the front of the card. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side of the smallest Everyday Essentials Dies circle and glue to the left side where the circle overlaps the image circle.

I added three of the 2023-2025 In Color Opaque Sparkle Dots in Boho Blue to the front of the card.
For the inside, I used a Basic Beige Cardstock panel and stamped the father image on the bottom right in Boho Blue Ink and the Besides You Stamp Set sentiment in Night of Navy at the top center of the panel.

For the envelope, I cut two strips of Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the envelope flap. I stamped another Beside Me sentiment on the envelope front with Boho Blue Ink to decorate the envelope front.

Retired Stampin’ Up! Products
My online Stampin’ Up! retired product store has been refreshed with additional products. I will be adding more retired products as I come across them. I have a variety of stamps, dies and embellishments. My stamps and dies are all gently used and most were purchased within the last two years (although some may be “vintage”). Dies might be on magnet cards as I did not start saving the original packaging until just recently. Designer Series Paper and embellishments are new in unopened packages unless otherwise stated.
Due to Stampin’ Up! policies, I can only ship to U. S. addresses.
