Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. It’s supposed to rain here today, at least that’s the last I heard. I’ll be at work all day, so we’ll see what the day brings.

For today’s card I played with the same 2 sets I played with last week. When I won this set at OnStage, I wasn’t sure if I would even use it. Once I paired it up with the sentiment set, ideas were coming to me. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Blooming Phrases Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Along These Lines Photopolymer Stamp Set, Nested Essentials Dies and On The Go Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Adhere a panel of On The Go DSP to a Basic Black mat with Stampin’ Seal. Wrap a piece of Black Baker’s Twine around the layered panel and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to a Strawberry Slush card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cut a panel of Basic White with the largest Nested Essentials Die. Stamp the sentiment from Blooming Phrases stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink center left of the panel. Stamp the dog image from Along These Lines stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the sentiment connecting the lines.

Outline the dog image using Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Marker. Adhere the die cut panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a Strawberry Slush Gem to the image.

Stamp the sentiment from Blooming Phrases stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the heart image from Along These Lines stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, connecting the lines, next to the sentiment. Color the heart with Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Strawberry Slush card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the dog and heart images from Along These Lines stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front, being sure to connect the lines. Color the images with Crumb Cake and Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of On The Go DSP to the envelope flap.

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