Cutest Crew for the April Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge #385

We look forward to seeing your creations there!
I used the birds from the Cutest Crew stamp set for last month’s color challenge, and you can see that post here. This month, I used the puppies.
Here’s my card:
Since my card features these adorable puppies, I am entering adding it to the gallery for the Critter Crazy Challenge # 109.
Measurements:
- The Misty Moonlight base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches to create a tent fold card
- After dry-embossing the white cardstock, I trimmed it to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
- The Misty Moonlight 6′ by 6″ DSP (designer series paper) for the front of the card measures 2″ by 5-3/8 inches
- I also trimmed a piece of the DSP to 6″ by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
- After punching a 1-inch circle of the DSP, I ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
- The inside white cardstock measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
- I used white cardstock for the cropped paws across the front, then trimmed it down to 5-3/8 inches long
- I had a long scrap of white cardstock, on which I stamped the line of puppies
What I Did:
- Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose glue to adhere pieces together
- First, I adhered the Misty Moonlight DSP to the bottom of the dry-embossed white cardstock
- Then, I adhered the cropped and trimmed line of paws on the white cardstock
- Next, I added the length of Misty Moonlight checked ribbon and used tear & tape to adhere the ends of the ribbon to the back of the white cardstock
- After wiping down the Misty Moonlight DSP with my embossing buddy, I stamped the sentiment using VersaMark ink
- Then, I covered the ink with black embossing powder and then heat set it with my heat tool
- Honestly, I should’ve taken care of the sentiment before adhering the DSP to the front of the cardstock
- I adhered the dry-embossed cardstock to the Misty Moonlight base
- Using Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the puppies and colored them using the Smoky Slate and Misty Moonlight blends combos
- I cropped the puppies and added dimensionals to the back of the puppies and adhered them to the card
- Finally, I stamped the inside sentiment and the line of paws using Tuxedo Black ink
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
