Sending My Love & Birthday Wishes Teddy Bear Card with Francine

Hi everyone! Francine here for my first post on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog! Yay! 

Today, I’m featuring the newest Sending My Love stamp set and here is my project:

I decided to create a birthday card and I thought bright colors would be perfect for that. I first stamped the bear and I colored him with Copic markers. I then fussy cut and fixed him behind the label where I stamped the “Birthday Wishes” sentiment in black ink. This sentiment is from an older Sunny Studio set called Birthday Smiles.

For more interest and dimension, I decided to add eyelets and fix the label with hemp cord and foam pads to make the focal point pop against the bright patterned paper I used for the background. To finish off my card, I attached all layers together and added small hearts that you can find in the Sending My Love set.

I hope you like what you’ve seen! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Sending My Love Valentine's Day Heart Gift Tags with Mendi

Hello there!  I'm back today with a quick set of heart shaped gift tags using the middle sized heart from our Stitched Hearts dies.

To decorate each of the tags I stamped a little critter face from our Sending My Love stamp set and then personalized the tag with each of my family's names using our Sweet Script alphabet stamps. 

To finish off each tag I punched a 1/8" hole in the top corner of each tag and then threaded a little sheer organza ribbon through the hole and tied it off with a twine bow.

I wanted to make the stitching stand out a bit more against the patterned paper so I used a white gel pen to trace the stitched lines on the heart.

I think these will be a great little extra to tie onto some gifts for my family for Valentine's Day this year!  I hope I've inspired you to make some cute little tags of your own.  ;)  

Make sure to stop back by tomorrow.  The amazing Francine will be sharing her debut post as part of our design team.  :)
