Sending My Love Critters Sending Birthday Wishes Card by Mendi

Hello there!  Happy Monday!  Thanks to everyone who made our new release such a success so far!  I can't wait to see what you all create with your purchases!  :)

This week we are showcasing some more ways to use the new Sending My Love stamps and dies and I couldn't resist taking the opportunity to use the little critter faces all by themselves!  :)

To get my faces to line up in a somewhat perfect circle, I used a smaller circle die in my nested set to help push my faces up against and help me with spacing before adhering them to my card with a glue pen.

For my sentiment I mixed the "sending" word from the set with the "Birthday Wishes" sentiment from Birthday Smiles.  My background was inked up using Peacock Distress ink and I just love the way it compliments the grey and brown critters.  :)

The stamps and dies were a bit late arriving to the team so I will be back tomorrow with one more idea using the Sending My Love set while they try to catch up.  Until then, I hope you have a fabulous day!  :)

Inspiration Week: Introducing Sunny Borders & Sweet Script

Happy Friday!  Today's the big day! Our Spring release is officially available for purchase in our online store and slowly becoming available at select retailers.

Today I am showcasing some of the fun ways to use our new Sunny Borders stamps & dies and the new Sweet Script alphabet stamps.  :)

This first card shows one fun way to use the chevron border from the Sunny Borders set.  I used my MISTI tool to have the stamp and then moved my card panel up by 1/4" between each color.  I paired it with the snail from Backyard Bugs and the little mailbox, letters and part of the sentiment from Sending My Love.

My second card was shared yesterday, but I wanted to share it here as well to showcase the heart border from Sunny Borders which I heat embossed in the background.  I alternated clear and white embossing powder for a fun twist, heating them up between each row.

My next card uses both the Sweet Script stamps for my custom sentiment and the Sunny Border stamps and dies.  I love how the dies perfectly cut out the matching scallops for the stamps!  For the images I used the chick, puddle and umbrella from our Rain or Shine set shared on Monday.  :)

For this card I used both the banner and the scalloped stamps and dies from Sunny Borders, paired with the butterfly, flower pot and sentiment from Backyard Bugs.

For my last card I used the Sweet Script stamp set to create another custom sentiment for a baby or Bridal shower using the umbrella and hearts from the Rain or Shine set.
