Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my fun fold Friday. WOW!! We’re already halfway through the month.  I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend.

Today’s card is one that I did on my YouTube Live yesterday. If you were able to join me, thank you for hopping on. If you’d like to watch the replay and stamp along, the measurements are on the bottom of this post along with the link to my video. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Safari Smiles Bundle and Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Adhere panel of Silly Old Bear DSP to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the lion image from the Safari Smiles stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. Color the image using Barely Blush, Crumb Cake, Golden Glow and Ivory Stampin Blends Markers. Cut the image out using the Safari Smiles Dies. Using the Safari Smiles Dies cut 2 of each of the rocks, shrubs, grass dies and clouds.

Using a Small Blending Brush, add Crumb Cake Ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel. Add splatter by tapping the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Marker on a Bone Folder over the blended area. Adhere a panel of Silly Old Bear DSP to the top of the panel. Arrange the die cut pieces along the edge of the DSP. Adhere the lion image to the panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the sentiment from Safari Smiles stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on one of the die cut clouds. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Cut the other cloud and adhere to either side of the panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the Basic White artwork panel to the card front.

Stamp the footprint image from the Safari Smiles stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink along the bottom of a Basic White panel. Adhere a panel of Silly Old Bear DSP to the inside of the card base. Adhere the Basic White panel over the DSP.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the footprint image from Safari Smiles stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink across the bottom front of the envelope. Adhere a panel of Silly Old Bear 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. You can watch my video on my YouTube Channel Here.
