Sending My Love Simple Puppy Dog Hugs Card by Mendi

Hello there!  How was your first day back to a normal schedule?  For those who have kids, are you the type who like to have your kids back in school or do you love the break in routine?  I'm sort of in the middle.  I loved not having to wake up early and pack lunches, but I also love having my kids in school and not sitting home bored while I work.  ;)

Today I have a simple little card I created for a friend who had lost a pet using our new Sending My Love stamps... I wanted to keep my design clean so I colored the image with Copic markers and fussy cut it out.  To ground the image I added a shadow using the solid oval found in the Sunny Borders stamp set.

For my sentiment I cut out 4 of the "hugs" word dies that come as a bonus with the Furever Friends dies, coloring just the top one with an ombre look with my Copics before stacking and gluing them together with my zig glue pen to create the look of chipboard and add a little dimenson.  :)

I hope you have a great day and check back tomorrow to see what the team has up their sleeves using this new set.  :)

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!  :)
