Welcome to my three-fer card! I was able to combine three challenges using this one card. I hope that my card inspires you to play along with one, two, or three of these challenges! I love playing along with card challenges! However, since I am on four design teams and participate in blog hops, I spent the month of July trying to get as far ahead as possible. Therefore, I am tickled (Flirty Flamingo) pink to be able to play along with these three.

First, here’s my card:

Second, here are the banners and links (click on the image) for the challenges:

I turned this sketch to a horizontal orientation for my card, which is totally acceptable.

Measurements:

• The Old Olive base measures 4-1/4 by 11 inches, scored at 2-3/4 and 5-2/2 inches
• I used a piece of the Pecan Pie retired Gorgeous Gingham DSP (designer series paper) for the front of the card and each piece measures 4-1/8 by 2-5/8 inches
• Trim a piece of the same DSP to 3/8 by 4-1/8 inches for the inside stop piece
• Next, trim a piece of Old Olive 6 x 6 inch DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
• Punch a 1-inch circle from the remaining gingham DSP for the envelope seal and run it through your XYRON create-a-sticker
• Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches for the inside of the card
• I cropped the two circles on the front from the middle of an Old Olive and Pecan Pie cardstock, which will allow me to use each piece for a mat on another card
• The label and playful kitten on the front, the sentiments, and fish stamp all come from the By Your Side kit
• Take a look at this absolutely stinking adorable kit available now:

It was unorderable for quite a bit of time. As popular as this kit is, I’d suggest getting it ASAP to make sure you can use it as it comes, or to create alternate cards like I did.

Stamping & Assembly:

• Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere pieces together
• I used a black Stampin’ Write marker to outline the two deckled circle pieces on the front because I wanted them to pop off the card front
• Stamp the sentiments using Old Olive ink
• Stamp the fist using Pecan Pie ink
• Adhere the DSP pieces to the front of the card and the white cardstock to the inside
• Adhere the two deckled circles together
• After dry-fitting your playful kitten and the sentiment, add dimensionals to the back of each to adhere them to the circles
• Making sure to only add liquid glue to the bottom half of the Pecan Pie circle, adhere to the front of the card
• Add dimensionals to the gingham strip of DSP and adhere to the inside of the card about 1 inch from the top of the white cardstock
• Finally, I added a speckled epoxy dot to the sentiment banner on the front
• With that, I’d finished this very quick By Your Side card kit alternate card, envelope, and envelope seal

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a Peachy Day!
