Stamptember with Riley & Company!

Hello crafty friends...

This year Riley & Company is part of Stamptember, which is a month long event by Simon Says Stamp. They work with different manufacturers to come up with a stamp set (some sets have coordinating dies) that are Limited Edition. Once again this year, the stamp sets are selling out quickly! 

The Karen Burniston design team got to play with the fun Riley & Company set and I have a walkthrough of the stamps and my rainbow pop up card in a YouTube video:

I used Karen Burniston's Heart Pivot Panel along with a couple of cute images from the stamp set, which is called "True Friends". The patterned paper is a new one, and I actually cut into it for this card! 

As mentioned in the video, the one heart point was sticking out between Riley's legs so I snipped it off. That doesn't affect the pop up part at all and looks much better. Trust me. Ha.

I added the envelope from the Heart Charms to the stamped sentiment, and the fun animal trio (Simon, Riley & Burt) were coloured with coloured pencils blended with mineral spirits. I believe there is a coordinating die set available, but I fussy cut mine out.

Below is the view from the top of the card so you can see all the folds a little better.

If you like these stamps, be sure and head to Simon Says Stamp top pick up your 'True Friends' stamp set while it is available!
