Good Morning! I hope you are enjoying a beautiful Fall weekend! Today I have a cute little friendship card made with the Stampin’ Up! Side By Side cling stamp set and the cute Playful Piggy Dies that are available with the Perfect Partners promotion this month. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Tahitian Tide plaid 2022-2024 In Color 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Tahitian Tide card base. I stamped the little boy with the dog from the Stampin’ Up! By My Side stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White along with an extra dog. I colored the little boy and dogs with Stampin’ Blends. I used the dark Smoky Slate and Natural Medium Tones 006 on the dogs and Natural Medium Light Tones 008, light Pumpkin Pie, Light Night of Navy and dark Crumb Cake on the little boy. I fussy cut all three on the line with my paper snips and colored the edge of the paper with my Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker.

I cut the grass from the Playful Piggy dies from Granny Apple Green and adhered it to the Balmy Blue panel with liquid glue. I cut the wagon from Sweet Sorbet and the wheels and handle from Basic Black and adhered them together with liquid glue. I cut two clouds from the Give it a Whirl dies from Basic White and adhered them to the top of the Balmy Blue panel. I trimmed the cloud with my paper snips and adhered the panel to a Basic Black mat. I adhered the little boy and dogs to the panel with liquid glue and adhered the die cut wagon with dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the little butterfly from the Stampin’ Up! By My Side stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I colored it with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic white and cut it out with the Playful Piggy label die. I adhered a strip of ribbon to the card with glue dots and adhered the label over the ribbon with bits of dimensionals straddling the ribbon.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment, dog and butterfly from the Stampin’ Up! By My Side stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I colored the dog with the Ivory and the butterfly with the Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of 2022-2024 In Color DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The little children in the Stampin’ Up! By my Side stamp set are really sweet and I love the wagon from the Playful Piggy dies. I hope you like the combination as much as I do! And hurry, because this is the last week for the Perfect Partners promotion!
