Doggone Friendly

Do you love dogs? I know I do. I can’t remember a time that a dog wasn’t apart of our family someone we loved. From my first little pup at age 4 to our two current little babies, dogs hold a special place in my heart. So when I saw the Doggone Friendly Stamp (162729) I knew it would be part of my shopping list.

Today I’m going to share some fun cards from my swap that use this stamp in different ways. I like the fact that this stamp has it all and we can highlight one or all of our sweet faces! This first card does just that.

The card front was stamped in Pebbled Path and then circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) was used to cut out the image desired. The pup has been colored and highlighted and then layered onto a larger circle of Misty Moonlight. This layered shape covers the hole that was created. And how about this next card that uses a quick pop of color on their bandanas with our Stampin’ Blends to draw your eye?

The sentiment has been stamped in the fun Tahitian Tide and punched out and layered with the Double Oval Punch (154242) and a bit of shine has been added with the Tahitian Tide 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon (159197).

And this last card is a fun fold

It uses not only the stamp set but our More Dazzle Specialty Paper (161749), Natural 1/4″ Wavy Trim (161517), and Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper (161503) to create tons of texture. Open it and you’ve got two additional panels with those adorable little faces.

This stamped image was stamped Pecan Pie once and then cut into three sections at 1 1/2″, 2 1/8″ to decorate the panels. So simple but it packs a wow in shades of brown.

Three cards, three totally different looks! It’s one of my favorite things about paper crafting, while we start with the same supplies we can create a project that is our.

On a personal note I thought I’d share a quick pic of my pups. Kona and Hana who are now 21 weeks old and just got their first grooming.

We named them after two towns we were able to visit on vacation recently. They are such sweet little faces, don’t you think? Why not leave me a comment and tell me what kind of pup you have?

The Joy of Christmas

Have you seen the Joy of Christmas Suite (161983)? This Suite is filled with two wonderful bundles, the Joy of Noel Bundle (161967) and the Christmas Classics Bundle (161977).

It also has some great coordinating products to create with too! Check out today’s card using this suite of products. This first card uses simple stamping to create a lovely holiday card.

The holly has been colored with our Watercolor Pencils (161700)/Watercolor Pencils Asst 2 (149014) and a bit of the Metallic Enamel Effects (161610) has been used to add a bit of shimmer. I just love the way that the Wild Wheat Classic Ink gives the first impression of gold embossing!

And this next card uses the Joy of Noel Dies (161965) and our Loose Holly Gems & Sequins (161981) to continue the feel of music that the noel sentiment brings and works well with the Gold Foil Sheets (132622) used for the letters.

A couple of pieces of the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper (161958) pulls it all together.

And how about this last card? Done in Garden Green, gold, and Basic White?

The Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder (156392) has been used for the backdrop along with the Christmas Classics Die Cuts (161976) that creates the sentiment from the Christmas Classics stamp set (161970) focal point. Add a bit of the More Dazzle Specialty Paper (161749) behind it and you’ve got a lovely traditional card.

Winter Owls

Owls are always so cool, I love to hear them in our yard and know they are doing their work keeping the pests down. And I’ve actually got a classmate that shares her owl cam with us on face book for an inside look at their day which has been a lot of fun to see too.

Today’s cards use the Winter Owls Stamp Set (162153) which is part of a money saving bundle.

This set has some wonderful sentiments and images to create with. Check out this first book binding card that is a fun fold. It that uses the Winter Owls Dies (162156) to cut out the owl.

The detailed wings portion has been cut from our More Dazzle Specialty Paper (161749) giving it an impressive look. The background has been stamped monochromatically with the Fragrant Forest Background Stamp (162108) and a bit more sparkle has been added with the Night of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon (162011). And how about this next one that uses simple stamping?

The Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper (162190) adds a bit of shine and pulls out the Copper Clay of the owl. The White 1/2″ Iridescent Ribbon (161955) has been colored with the Copper Clay Stampin’ Blend (161662) to give a totally different look that pulls out the copper foiling and Pretty Peacock coloring. White ribbons are great as they give you the ability to customize the coloring with a few swishes across your ink pad or with our Blends.

And if you are a Harry Potter fan, this set might be just up your alley. Hedwig was the first thing I thought of when I saw this set. AND have you seen the cute little Harry Potter Hershey’s Kisses? I’ve got to look for those at my local stores as my daughter will love them! Wouldn’t they be perfect to create a fun little Hedwig packaging option for your Harry Potter treat giving too this fall?
