Today I am sharing a card made for my daughter and son in law who have moved into their new house this week. I couldn’t resist making their card using the one of the new hostess stamp sets from the upcoming 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalogue called Sit Stay Relax. This sweet set features a small dog sitting on a chair which is exactly what their small dog Skye does whenever she thinks you aren’t looking.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the Sit Stay Relax card, you will need:

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Basic Gray card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
In Good Taste dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Starry Sky card – 3½” by 3½”
Basic White card – 3½” by 3½”
Basic Gray card – 3½” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 2 ½” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

 

I glued the In Good Taste dsp to the Basic Gray panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to adhere the panel to the front of the Smoky Slate card base.

 

Using Basic Gray ink, I stamped the sweet image from the Sit Stay Relax stamp set onto the square of Basic White and used the Layering Circle Dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine to cut it out.

 

I used the Light Balmy Blue Blends marker to add the background behind the chair and coloured the sweet little dog in using the Soft Suede combo of Blends markers. The Eyes and nose were added with the dark Basic Black Blends marker.

 

I wanted to back the stamped image with a Starry Sky scalloped circle but we in Europe haven’t been able to order this colour cardstock yet. So, I die cut the scalloped circle from scrap Basic White card and dabbed the Starry Sky ink pad all around the edge to add colour, then set it to one side to dry. When it was dry I adhered to two circles together with the Liquid Glue and added them to the card front on Dimensionals.

 

The sentiment, from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto the strip of Basic White and the ends trimmed down. This piece was then added to the strip of Basic Gray, trimmed down in the same way and added to the card front with liquid glue.

 

I added a trio of 2022 – 2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots to finish the card.

I hope you like it.
