Good Morning! Have you seen the Perfect Partners promotion? Well I picked up the cute Playful Piggies dies to go with the Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy cling stamp set for today’s card. 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 Awash in Beauty designer series paper to a Pear Pizzazz mat and then popped it on a Calypso Coral card base with Dimensionals. I cut a Pear Pizzazz panel with the new grass die from the Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy bundle (YES! you can get the new dies with the stamp set in a bundle for a 10% discount this month!) and adhered it to a Balmy Blue panel. I cut the cute frame from the Fabulous Frames dies from Old Olive and cut up some dimensionals to adhere the background to the frame to make the picture. Then I added some glue dots to the background and adhered the picture to the card front.

I stamped the sweet piggy from the Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and colored it with Petal Pink, Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin Blends. I cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it to the picture with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral on Basic White and cut it out with the cute label die. I adhered it to the card with bits of dimensionals and glue dots.

I cut the flowers and leaves from Calypso Coral and Granny Apple Green card stock using the Playful Piggy dies and the little bird from So Saffron. I adhered them to the card with glue dots and dimensionals. I adhered some iridescent gemstones to the flower centers and tucked an Old Olive bow under the frame to finish the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the corner of a Basic White panel and colored it with Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Awash in Beauty DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

I love this little piggy wallowing in the mud! This scene from the Stampin’ Up! This Birthday Piggy stamp set just reminded me of a wonderful lazy day with no responsibilities except having fun doing what you want. I hope your day is like that!
