Hi everyone!
Stacey here with you today to share a fun card using the new stamp called, Enjoy The Ride.

Today the puppies and I are heading out for another ride, this time to the country. I live just outside DC and we have just come through cherry blossom and azalea season, so I was inspired to add a touch of spring to this outing with Gerda Steiner Designs “Enjoy The Ride Puppies” stamp set.
These puppies remind us that every day is a gift and we need to make time for a little fun!!
As with my earlier post I wanted to make sure the puppies could truly hang out of the window to catch the breeze, so I fussy cut the window out of the car door. I also stamped just the rolled down window part of the stamp on vellum using StazOn Jet Black ink (I discovered StazOn was a must so that the ink didn’t smear), fussy cut it out and attached it behind the window frame. Puppies were also fussy cut and I stamped an extra set of paws for the second puppy so he could hang onto the window.
I used distress inks and cloud and grass stencils to fill in the background and copics to color the puppies and car:
Puppy 1: E37 E15 E13 R14 R43 R32 R30
Puppy 2: E34 E33 E31 R32 R30
Sunglasses: C8 C6 C4 and then added some Glossy Accents to the glasses
Car: FBG2 BG02 B02 B01 C3 C1
I’m pawsitive you’ll enjoy playing with these puppies as much as I do.
Life truly is a gift~be sure to take time and have some fun!!

I’m pawsitively delighted to share a new stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs: ”Enjoy The Ride Puppies.” We can all learn a lesson from our four-legged friends about enjoying the little things in life, like rolling down the window and letting the breeze hit our face.
Today the puppies are enjoying a ride through the city, taking in the scene and hoping the destination is the dog park.
I combined the puppies and their car ride with the GSD “Skyline” stamp set. To allow the puppies to stick their head out of the window, I fussy cut the window out of the car door. I also stamped just the rolled down window part of the stamp on vellum using StazOn Jet Black ink (I discovered StazOn was a must so that the ink didn’t smear), fussy cut it out and attached it behind the window frame. Puppies were also fussy cut and I stamped an extra set of paws for the second puppy so he could hang onto the window.
I used distress ink (any blue will do) and a cloud stencil for the background and copics to color the puppies, car and buildings:
Puppy 1: E37 E15 E13 R14 R43 R32 R30
Puppy 2: E34 E33 E31 R32 R30
Sunglasses: C8 C6 C4 and then added some Glossy Accents to the glasses
Car: R29 R27 R35 C3 C1
Buildings: T3-T7, E99 E97 E95 E53 E50 E37 E29 E09 E08 E01 B01
Be like these puppies and remember “Life is a journey, enjoy the ride!!”

This design was a tricky one. A whole car stamp would be huge, so I went with a simple outline instead. Feel free to extend those in any way possible.
The coordinating dies cut out just the window area, leaving the car frame intact. This way, you can easily "tuck" your puppy stamps in for that adorable peeking pose.
All inspired by a silly sketch (we've all been there!) of those irresistible pups gazing out car windows. I just had to make this stamp set – it's so much fun and lets you get creative!
