Good Monday morning my fellow stampers. How was your weekend? Hope you were able to do something fun.
For today’s card I did the Triple Time Technique for you and used the new Stampin’ Up Happy Tails Bundle. Did you know that when you purchase the bundle, Happy Tails stamp set and Dog Builder Punch, you get 10% off. I love being able to save money any time I can. I just love this dog in the set, you can make many different kinds with it. I decided to make a Dalmatian for today. Take a look.
All the measurements for the layers are listed below. I started with a small piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the dog from the Happy Tails stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on it. I stamped the spots on top of the dog in Tuxedo Black Ink also. I punched the dog out using the Dog Builder Punch and set it aside.
I then layered the 3 pieces of Whisper White cardstock, using the tiniest spot of Snail just to hold them in place while I was stamping. I first stamped the sentiment from the Happy Tails stamp set on the top panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I then stamped the dog house from the same stamp set in Soft Suede Ink to the right of the sentiment stamping partially on the second layer, stamping off once. I stamped the second part of the dog house on top of the first in Soft Suede Ink. I randomly stamped the paw prints from the same stamp set all around in Tuxedo Black Ink. Again, I randomly stamped the dog bones in Crumb Cake Ink all around the card front. I finished the stamping with the Real Red hearts randomly stamped on the 3 layers.
I took the 3 layers apart and matted the top two layers on Basic Black cardstock using Snail. The largest layer I adhered to a Basic Black card base using Snail. I lined up each layer, matching the dog house, paw prints, bones and hearts and adhered them using Snail.
Once all the layers were lined up and adhered together I added the punched dog to the top panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I stamped the paw prints from the Happy Tails stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink along the bottom of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Basic Black card base using Snail.
To complete my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the dog from the Happy Tails stamp set on the front of the envelope. I covered the envelope flap with the Dalmatian spots.

I started with an Old Olive card front and ran it through my Big Shot using the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I stamped the ‘Make A Wish’ from the Life Is Grand stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a small piece of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the streamers from the Stampin’ Up Around The Corner Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink around the sentiment.
I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Smoky Slate mat using Snail. I adhered the matted sentiment to the card front, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, on an angle so that it over hung on both sides of the card front. I cut off the excess from each side using my Paper Snips.

I started with a Whisper White card front. I took a scrap piece of paper and cut a circle out for a stencil. I put the stencil where I wanted it on my card front and sponged inside the circle using first my So Saffron Ink then my Daffodil Delight Ink. Once I was happy with the results, I removed the paper. I stamped the image from Enjoy Life stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink over the sun. I stamped the butterfly from the same stamp set above the floral image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

I am really loving my Stamparatus. I used it for this card and envelope and was able to line everything up perfectly. I started with a Whisper White card front and stamped the floral image from Forever Lovely stamp set. I first stamped the leaf image in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I then stamped the floral image, lining it up using my Stamparatus, in Petal Pink Ink.
I wrapped a piece of the gorgeous new Petal Pink/Whisper White Variegated Ribbon around the card front and tied a bow. This ribbon is so wonderful to work with and makes bows so easy. I added a Glue Dot under the bow to hold it in place. I added a few clear Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front by the flowers.

I adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Whisper White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Forever Lovely stamp set in Petal Pink Ink over the floral image. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Whisper White card base using Snail.
For my card today I joined 
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.

I then fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips.
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 adhered the stitched oval to the scalloped oval using Snail and adhered it to the inner liner using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I took a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped it with one of the tree images from the Lovely As A Tree stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I quickly sprinkled it with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. I then started sponging colors to give it a bit of a sunset look. I started at the bottom with Old Olive and Mossy Meadow Inks. Going up, I sponged with So Saffron, Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody Inks blending them together. I then used Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Highland Heather and Night of Navy Inks for the top section, again blending them.
