Happy New Year my fellow stampers and welcome to 2021 and my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s New Year’s Eve? Were you able to stay awake to ring the new year in? Here’s to hoping that 2021 will be a wonderful healthy year for all of us.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you very much. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card that I made.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Darling Donkey Cling Stamp Set for my card along with the Well Suited Designer Series Paper. The Darling Donkey stamp set will be a FREE set you can earn from Sale-A-Bration with a qualifying order. Sale-A-Bration starts on January 5, 2021.

I started by adhering panels of Well Suited DSP to Pacific Point mats using Stampin’ Seal, then adhering them to the Smoky Slate card base using Multipurpose Liquid glue. On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the kicking donkey image from the Darling Donkey stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in using my Gray Granite and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the donkey using my Paper Snips.

I embossed a small panel of Whisper White cardstock using the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder. Using my new Blending Brushes, I added some Gray Granite Ink to the panel. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pacific Point mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the donkey to the top of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On another small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiments from the Darling Donkey stamp set and the Stampin’ Up! Zany Zebras Cling Stamp Set. I added a little Gray Granite Ink around the edges using my Blending Brush and adhered it to a Pacific Point mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to the top right side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the donkey to the bottom left side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Matte Black Dots to the sentiment panel.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sitting donkey from the Darling Donkey stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Gray Granite and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Wisper White panel to a Pacific Point mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the kicking donkey from the Darling Donkey stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored him in using my Gray Granite and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Well Suited DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked my card. Items will be available in just 4 short days on January 5, 2021. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.
