A Real Treat

What a fun card to make!
This card went together so quick and easy.  The panels on the front are from the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper pack, which is part of the Playful Pets Suite found on page 40 of the 2020-21 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalog.
The dog was cut out from the Playful Pets Designer Series paper using one of the coordinating dies from the Pets Dies set.
The greeting on the front of the card is from the Pampered Pets stamp set which is included in the Playful Pets Suite.  The Pampered Pets stamp set is also available as a bundle with the Pets Dies or can be purchased separately.
The dog was attached to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.
The sentiment on the inside of the card is from the 
Pampered Pets stamp set as are the hearts.
The paw prints are from the Pets dies.  I found the best way to put them on the card was to adhere a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the Basic Black cardstock and then cut out the paw using your die cutter.  
Once cut out, carefully remove the protective backing from the Adhesive Sheet on the paw print and place the die, with the paw print still in it, onto where you want the paw print to go on your project.  Using your Take Your Pick tool, gently rub each piece of the paw out of the die and onto the cardstock.  Once all of the pieces have been removed from the die, gently rub the paw print to securely adhere to the cardstock.

Grace's Garden Center Step card with Easel

I have had several people ask me for instructions on how I made the Grace's Garden card that I posted on May 3, 2020.  Click here to see the post.
This Center Step with Easel template uses a 5 1/2" x 11" cardstock base.
I have attached the picture below for all of the score lines and cut lines.
Using your trimmer or a cutting blade measure up from the short edge of the card base 1" and over 1 1/4" on the long edge, cut the card base from 1" to 5 1/4".  Repeat on other long side.  See template above.

On the long side of the card base, score from the edge to the 1 1/4" cut line at 1", 2" and 5 1/4".  Repeat on other side. See template above.

On the long side of the card base, score between the two cut lines in the center of the card base at 4 1/2".  See template above.
On the long side of the card base, score all the way across at 8 1/2".  See template above.
Fold all the score lines as follows: The 1", 4 1/4" and 5 1/4" score lines are mountain folds.  The 2" score line is a valley fold.  The 8 1/2" score line should be folded towards the front of the card.  See picture above.  
Use a bone folder to make the folds crisp.
To help the card to stay upright, I scored the base of the small yellow flowers on the front of the card at 1/4" and adhered the base of the flower to the easel using Tear and Tape Adhesive.  These flowers can lay flat when the card is 
collapsed for inserting in an envelope, when the card is opened the 
small yellow flowers can be popped back up.

Gorgeous Posies

Have you had a chance to take a look at the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit 
on page 8 of the Annual Catalog?
These cards are so beautiful and go together quick and easy.
The kit would make an awesome gift, given either as a kit for the recipient to complete or with the cards already completed.  
This kit would also be great for your personal use.  
Let's take a look at the cards.  The first four cards were made following the instructions that is included in the card kit.
Aren't these cards just beautiful?!
The sentiment on the front of this card is from the Gorgeous Posies stamp set, which is purchased separately from the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit.
The sentiment on the inside of the Celebration card is from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set.
The sentiment for this card is included in the Gorgeous Posies stamp set.

The sentiment for the inside of the sympathy card is from the 
Woven Heirlooms stamp set.

As you can see, the beauty of these cards is amazing.  All four cards took about a total of 15-20 minutes to create.  All the prep work has been done for you in the kit, all you have to do is cut the ribbon or thread to length, stamp your sentiment on the pre-cut label and adhere everything to the card. 
This kit is not an inclusive kit, you will also need to purchase the Gorgeous Posies stamp, stamp pads and adhesive.
This card was made using the Gorgeous Posies stamp set, Blushing Bride, Highland Heather, Crushed Curry, Blackberry Bliss, Mint Macaron and Shaded Spruce ink.  The card base is Whisper White, followed by Blushing Bride cardstock and topped with Whisper White cardstock.
