Mystery Stamping Hour Card Tutorial

Hi Friends! Today I held my Mystery Stamping Hour, as I do every Friday, and the card was a simple layout that I LOVE! Here is my card, which features the “Pampered Pets” stamp set & coordinating “Pets Dies” (FYI – I don’t like those two words together…..just sayin’!).

Isn’t this card just the cutest?! I used the new Host Reward “Pattern Party” Designer Series Paper (this is the BEST host reward IMHO!) and I added Coastal Cabana ink with a Blending Brush.

The dog was coloured using Stampin’ Blends and I added a heart embellishment (long retired) that I coloured with my Real Red Stampin’ Blend Marker. Texture on cards is always a win-win in my books, so I ran the Old Olive card stock layer through the Bark 3D embossing folder . “Bark” – get it? A puuurrrrfect folder for the doggie stamps! LOL

The inspiration for today’s Mystery Stamping Hour is from this adorable card, created by Joanne Rolston, for our Leaders Project Sheet Group:

As soon as I saw Joanne’s card I knew it was a perfect design for my Mystery Stamping Hour! Here is the card tutorial for you to enjoy:
