Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you are making some plans for the weekend. I’ll be at work all day today and last I heard it’s supposed to be a thunderstorm kind of day.

Today’s card I played with another new bundle that I wasn’t sure if I wanted or not. I was leaning towards I don’t want it, then I saw some cards made and I really liked the set. Once I got it in my hands, I had a lot of fun playing with it and I’m already thinking of other cards to make with it. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! tune In Bundle along with the Full of Life 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Silver Foil Paper, Country Woods Designer Series Paper and Textured Metallic Specialty Paper for my card today.

I adhered a panel of Full of Life DSP to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Liquid Glue.

Using the Tune In Dies, I cut the tv from a panel of Country Woods DSP, the mat for the screen, knobs, vent and rabbit ears from Silver Foil Sheets, the tv screen from a panel of Full of Life DSP and the bolts from Textured Metallic Paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Tune In Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on the die cut screen panel. I sprinkled it with Black Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the tv screen to a Silver Foil mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the tv using Liquid Glue.

I adhered the die cut vent under the tv screen using Glue Dots. I adhered the knobs and rabbit ears using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the tv to the card front using Liquid Glue. I adhered the bolts using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Tune In stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the tv image from the Tune In stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the panel. I stamped the rabbit ears from the Tune In stamp set on top of the tv in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the images using Pecan Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the bolts above the large tv image from the Tune In stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the other sentiment from the Tune In stamp set in blueberry Bushel Ink next to the tv. I stamped the star image from the Tune In stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink, stamping off on scrap paper once, then over the sentiment.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the star image from the Tune In stamp set on the envelope front in Blueberry Bushel, Shaded Spruce and Crushed Curry Inks. I stamped the rabbit ears from the Tune In stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope flap and colored them using Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the bolts around the rabbit ears in Tuxedo Black Ink.

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