Friends Furever

A new challenge starts today at Can You Handle The Pressure? where the theme is always Anything Goes with an Embossing Folder and an optional twist. Heat embossing is welcome, but not required. An Embossing Folder must be used. For this challenge, the twist is "Dogs / Cats / Pets". The challenge is open from August 13th to the 24th.

For my card, I used PinkFresh Studio's Scalloped Rectangle to cut a red frame. I die cut a piece of white card stock with the same die in white and used the aperture piece with the Cuttlebug Heart Block embossing folder. I placed the white rectangle inside the red frame, and glued them together on white fun foam. I adhered that piece on a Neenah Solar White 110# card base after I added the black & white twine to the card base. I stamped, colored with Copics and fussy cut the boy and dog image from MFT's Friends Furever stamp set and popped that up on the embossed hearts panel. I stamped and clear heat embossed the sentiment from PinkFresh Studio Always Uplifting stamp set and my card was complete.

 For my card I used a stamp set that has been in my stash forever - Friends Furever by MFT. I colored the main image with Copics and fussy cut it out. I had a heat embossed background panel in my snippets box that I made with CASual Fridays Heart To Heart background stamp that I die cut with a SSS dome die. I popped the background up with fun foam and adhered it to a kraft card case. I popped up the image with foam tape, added an embossed sentiment and my card was complete.
