Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you ready for the weekend? I’ll be at work both days once again. We normally have a family dinner on Palm Sunday, but because of work and Covid we didn’t last year and are not this year again. Hopefully next year things will be back to our normal.

I have a gate card for you today. This is not the one I was going to do on my Facebook live this past Wednesday, I’m saving that one for next Wednesday. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hot Dog Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card along with the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper.

I started by cutting a panel of Basic white cardstock using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Hot Dog stamp set on the top left of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the dog, the birthday hat and the bow tie images from the Hot Dog stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink below the sentiment and colored them in using my Just Jade, Seaside Spray and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I adhered 2 panels of Playful Pets DSP to Basic White mats using Stampin’ Seal and then to both sides of the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the artwork to a Seaside Spray mat, which I cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered panel to the left side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a Playful Pets Trinket by the sentiment using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pampered Pets Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the dog image from the Hot Dog stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in using my Just Jade, Seaside Spray and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the center of a Playful Pets DSP panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the panel to the inside of the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the dog and hat images from the Hot Dog stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the front of the envelope and colored them in using my Just Jade, Seaside Spray and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Playful Pets DSP to the envelope flap.

thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
