Sneak Peek Week: Introducing Party Pups & Devoted Doggies

Hello there!  Welcome to day 3 of sneak peeks.  We're officially half way through our new products coming out on Friday.  I hope you've enjoyed everything so far.  Today I have two new Dog themed stamp sets and their coordinating dies to share!

Up first is a fun card combining our new 4x6 Party Pups and 3x4 Devoted Doggies sets with our previously shared Window Trio Circle dies and new 6x6 Paper Packs.

I am a huge fan of tone-on-tone papers so I'm completely smitten with the simple diagonal grid pattern found in our new Classic Gingham paper pack.  They also match so well with the patterns in our Rainbow Bright paper set like the one used here.  I can't wait to start using these papers more!  

I really love the look of having the balloons pop out beyond the circles.  Before adhering them to my card front, I figured out my general placement and then drew lines with a ruler and my 0.1 Copic Multiliner pen.  Isn't that dog bone cake so fun?!

Up next I used that same combo of products, this time turning my card on the vertical and die-cutting a second row of the Window Trio Circle dies. My paper is from the same pack, this time using the reverse side for the fun gingham prints.  For my sentiment I heat embossed it onto black cardstock which had been die-cut using the banner from our Little Angels dies.

I love that these little dogs don't have to be used just for birthday cards!  For the most part the hats and accessories come separate so you can create everyday cards with them too (except for the fact that I couldn't resist adding a hat on my dog in the end after all).  

My stamped background was inspired by a card my daughter made for her friend.  I think many of the dogs would work well with this style of repeat stamping, but I was so excited to realize they fit together perfectly like a puzzle!

My next card highlights Devoted Doggies exclusively.  I blended distress oxide inks for my background and then stamped the little paw print from the set which was heat embossed with a clear iridescent pearl powder. I completely lucked out when I discovered that Offray's Sunburst Rainbow ribbon was a perfect match!

For my sentiment I die-cut a stitched label using our new Sunny Studio website exclusive Fancy Frames Rectangle dies together with Studio Katia Iridescent Bubbles.  This sentiment can be used a couple different ways-For example, the word "ruff" can also be rearranged to say "I ruff you".  :)

Up next is one of my favorites... Seeing all those doggies from the two sets peeking around our Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies makes me smile every time!  In this case, I fussy cut my dogs out, but I think it would also work well if you wanted to stamp the dogs onto a large piece of cardstock, create a mask for inking and then crop it down.  My blue sky was sponged on using tumbled glass distress ink and my favorite Jumbo dauber.  For my card background, I repeatedly stamped the bone on the diagonal from the Devoted Doggies set onto Neenah Desert Storm cardstock and then lightly sponged that same ink around the edges for extra definition between the layers.

For this card I had a blast creating my colorful striped background using the Versafine Clair inks and our new Background Basics stamps which will be fully unveiled in tomorrow's post.  Because I wanted to line up each striped panel so they seamlessly connected together, I lost about 1/4" in length as I moved my strips up or down to match.  

To solve the issue of my card panel not quite covering an A2 card, I created a fun candle border to bridge the gap using the single candle stamp from the Party Pups set.  I colored in a circular motion outside the lines, over each flame, using a lighter yellow copic marker to give the appearance my candles are glowing and then colored the candles and balloons to match my background. 

My last card of the day was made special for my sister and her sweet fur babies, Maggie, Lucy & Layla. For my shaker I used some of my favorite rainbow confetti by Studio Katia and patterned paper from Echo Park's Hello Easter & Celebrate Easter collections.

I'm so excited you've joined me for today's sneak peek and I'd love to give a $25 gift code to one lucky winner.  Make sure to keep checking back all this week for more peeks & prizes for up to five chances to win.  The contests run through Saturday at Midnight PST with winners announced here on Sunday, April 8th. :)
