Good Monday morning my fellow stampers. How was your weekend? Did anyone watch the Super Bowl? Did your team win or did you just watch for the commercials like I do?
For today’s card I have a little girls birthday card using the Stampin’ Up Bella and Friends Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up Pretty Kitty Stamp Set. I also used the beautiful Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets that are free with a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration. You get 8 sheets of this gorgeous paper, 4 Lovely Lipstick and 4 Grapefruit Grove. Get it before supplies run out.
For my card today I joined Watercooler Wednesday challenge #206. Be sure to stop by to see everyone’s projects and to play along. Here is their challenge.
I started by layering a panel of the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet and a panel of Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper on a Lemon Lime Twist card base. I decided where I wanted the peek-a-boo circle and placed my Layering Circles Framelits Dies on top of the card front. Using my Big Shot I ran it through all 3 layers, going through a couple of times to make sure it cut all the way through. I adhered the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet on the Lemon Lime Twist card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the Animal Expedition DSP on the Foil Sheet using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using my Big Shot again, I cut the scallop circle from the Layering Circles Framelits Dies that was larger than the card front circle out of Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet. I adhered the scallop circle over the card front circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the dog with balloon image from the Bella and Friends stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the image in using my Call Me Clover, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, Pool Party and Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends Markers. I then fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips.
I adhered the dog to the right of the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the bird just under the circle using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Kitty stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on a strip of Whisper White cardstock and made a banner using my Triple Banner Punch. I adhered the banner to the left side of the card front using Snail.
On the inside I stamped the kitty in the flower-pot image from the Pretty Kitty stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a Whisper White panel. I lined it up and stamped it so that it would be peeking through the card front circle. I colored the kitty in using my Call Me Clover, Calypso Coral, Mango Melody, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Rich Razzleberry and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Berry Burst mat using Snail and adhered it to the inside of the Lemon Lime Twist card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Kitty stamp set on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock in Berry Burst Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. I cut a scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies, that was just larger than the stitched oval, out of the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet. I adhered the stitched oval to the scalloped oval using Snail and adhered it to the inner liner using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the puppy and kitty image from the Bella and Friends and Pretty Kitty stamp sets on the front of the envelope. I colored them in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a piece of Animal Expedition DSP to the envelope flap.

Product List
As you can see all the cards are kind of the same. The frog card is made with Melon Mambo and the 1 1/2″ Circle Punch. The puppy is made with Poppy Parade and the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies and the kitty is made with Blushing Bride and the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies. All these cards are Peek-A-Boo cards.
I stamped the Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Forever Lovely stamp set in either Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (on the Melon Mambo or Poppy Parade cards) or Early Espresso Ink (for the Blushing Bride card) above the circle or ovals. I wrapped a piece of Whisper White 5/8″ Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon around the top of each card base and tied a knot. I added 3 Rhinestone Basic Jewels to each of the card fronts.
I stamped the You Are Loved sentiment from the Forever Lovely stamp set on a Whisper White panel using Melon Mambo, Poppy Parade or Early Espresso Inks. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of each of the card bases.
