Stampin’ Up! Happy Tails Sympathy on Wonderful Florals

Happy Happy Hawmmmp Day!  And – it just occurred to me – now don’t be scared – there’s a little less than 10 months till Christmas!

Whaaaa???

More pressing and germain to this blog – we’re 2/3 of the way thru Sale-A-Bration, can you even believe it??  Just one more month to fill your tool chest with free goodies!

My card for today is one that I hate having to make – it’s to express my condolences to a friend for the loss off their pet. 🙁  But – I hope it’ll bring a smile – at least for a minute.  I used the new Happy Tails stamp set and bundled Dog Builder Punch – plus a Wonderful Floral Framelits die cut.  Take a look-see:

The layout for this one comes from this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge.

I started with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock that I embossed in the Basket Weave Dynamic TIEF and matted on Mossy Meadow for the car front.

With a Scalloped die from the Circles Layering Framelits, I cut a Vellum circle and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I used the Wonderful Floral Framelits to cut the gorgeous leafy edgelit and snipped it down a little to fit the card.  Then I adhered it with Liquid Glue to the card front.

Next is a length of 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon, adhered with more Liquid Glue.

On a piece of Very Vanilla card stock, I stamped the Happy Tails sentiment in Mossy Meadow, then cut it with the largest circle Stitched Shapes Framelits die.  I stamped the sentiment a second time and cut it out with the Dog Builder Punch.

I inked the heart from Happy Tails in Cherry Cobbler, stamped it off once, and stamped it over the word “heart” in the sentiment.

I popped the circle die onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals then, with more Dimensionals, adhered the dog punched shape right over top of the circle – aligning the stamped words.

I used the little heart shape that’s part of the Dog Builder Punch to cut a few hearts from a Corrugated Element.  These I adhered – along with a larger heart-shaped Corrugated Element to the card front with Liquid Glue.  And that was it for the card front.

On the inside, I added a second Happy Tails sentiment tin Mossy Meadow to a Very Vanilla panel.  Then I added a stamped-off-once Cherry Cobbler paw print – and another punched Corrugated Element heart.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and into my Crumb Cake card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got some Crumb Cake hearts and stamped-off-once Cherry Cobbler hearts on the front…

…and I ran the envelop flap thru the Big Shot in the Basket Weave Dynamic TIEF.

Et Voila! Okay – gotta admit – I sorta love how this sentiment turned out!  Sort of a Double-Time effect, heh?  And the Wonderful Floral Framelits die cut seemed like just the right touch – especially against the Basket Weave embossed panel.  Hope you like!
