Susanbcards: Simon's Pawty from the Simon Says Stamp Sugar & Spice Release!

Today I'm sharing Simon's Pawty stamp set and Window Trio Dieset. Simon's Pawty is part of Simon Says Stamp's Sugar and Spice Release, you can see the entire collection by clicking HERE.

Here is my YouTube video tutorial:

For the card on the left with the yellow background, I diecut the window out of the red paper, you can see I used that window on the left card. I diecut the window 2x from white cardstock and glued them together for sturdiness. The window opens, so I didn't want it to be flimsy.

I cut a piece of white cardstock to go behind the window. I stamped the dog onto the paper and colored it in with Copic markers. I stamped the same dog onto masking paper and fussy cut it out, then covered the stamped panel. I want to cover it so I can easily ink blend the background with yellow Distress Oxide ink (Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber). I then stamped the sentiment Missing You under the window. I thought that sentiment was perfect since it looked like the dog was waiting in the window for someone to come home.

I've used window/door dies in the past, I think they really work well with stamps. Here are 2 that I have made a few years ago. If you click on the photos you can read my blog posts for these cards.

For my second card, I used the red window diecut and ink blended the window scene blue (Salvaged Patina, Broken China, Prize Ribbon). I fussy cut the dog, this time making it look like he's inside the house, ready to go out. LOL Time to pawty....party or potty?? Either way, pretty cute.
