Puppy Love Cards with Cathy and Bobbi

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a card featuring the adorable new Puppy Love Stamps that will be available in the upcoming new release!

I started this card by cutting 2 strips of patterned paper from the Subtle Grey Tones Paper and adhering a strip to the top and bottom of an A2 card base. The top strip is 1/2" x 5 1/2" and the bottom strip is 1” x 5 1/2". (This saves on paper since I have a wide cardstock piece on the card front)

Next, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies and cut the piece to 5 1/2” long. I inked it with Spun Sugar and Saltwater Taffy Distress inks and splattered a little watered down white acrylic paint with a paintbrush. I matted this piece on gray cardstock and adhered it to the card front approximately 3/8” from the top edge of the card and slightly overlapping the paper pieces.

I die-cut white glitter cardstock using a Heartstrings Border Die and adhered it to the bottom of the inked cardstock piece. I stamped a sentiment from the Lovey Dovey Stamps in gray ink, die-cut it using the coordinating dies and adhered it to the center of the inked cardstock.

I stamped the images from the Puppy Love Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. To finish, I die-cut hearts using the Stitched Heart 2 Dies from white cardstock, inked them with Tattered Rose Distress ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder for a little shine.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Hello Sunny friends, Bobbi here! I hope you’re having a “pawsome” day because today I’m sharing the new Sunny Studio Stamps  set called, Puppy Love stamp set and coordinating dies. This little mighty set offers puppy cuteness and sweet hearts. I used this set to make a 5″ X 7″ card and coordinating smaller, note card.

To create the card, I used one of my favorite Sunny dies called, Bursting Hearts die. I cut it out of black cardstock and since my card is an A7 size, I ran it horizontally across the top of the card. I little strip of gold cardstock finishes the bottom edge.

I stamped the two dogs from the Puppy Love set and colored them in black and gray. I colored the heart in pink, I attached the pup in the middle with some foam tabs to make him stand out and stamped the phrase from the same set in the white space below.

I cut out some hearts from pink cardstock and added them back into the Bursting hearts design to create a focal point on the puppy in the middle. I let the last hearts fall off the edge of the front panel for interest.

For the coordinating smaller note card, I used a white card base and attached a mini mat from the Mini Mat 2 and Tag dies to the front. I added faux black stitching around the edge, the other puppy in the middle and some shadowing below him. I used Luxe Glitter cardstock to fill the heart and stamped smaller hearts colored in pink around the puppy.

Introducing New Puppy Love Stamps For Valentine's Day

Merry Christmas!  I hope you all are enjoying a fun and relaxing holiday with your loved ones today. This week our team will be transitioning from Christmas to Spring, featuring a new mini stamp set called Puppy Love that is perfect for Valentine's Day, however as my cards will illustrate this set is not limited to only a single occasion. Let's jump right in, shall we?

Card No.1: This mini set comes with two heart toting dogs with 4 mini hearts and one punny "You're Pawsome!" greeting. For my first card I paired the Puppy Love dogs with the doghouse, food bowl and bone from our Puppy Parents Stamps and the greeting from our Meow & Furever Stamps. To start I created my own handmade pattered paper by repeatedly stamping the bone onto a piece of kraft paper, drawing faint pencil lines on the diagonal with a clear grid ruler that I could erase away when I was done. 

I then trimmed the bottom of my panel and added a stitched edge using the die from our Slimline Basic Border Dies set. To frame my pups I cut a scalloped circle from red cardstock using the Scalloped Circle Mat 2 Dies and Stitched Circle Large Dies. Finally I cut a straight scalloped edge to match to adhere along the bottom using those Slimline Basic Border Dies. 

Card No.2: Next up is a grid style card alternating the dogs from the new Puppy Love Stamps with the cats from our Meow & Furever Stamps. To form my square card base, I layered a piece of red cardstock with a white stitched panel cut using our Stitched Rectangle Dies. To elongate the rectangle die into a square shape, I had part of my die fall off the cutting plate to not cut all the way through on that one side and then ran it through a second time doing the same thing on the opposite side.

To make my card feel cohesive, I chose to keep a very simple color palette by coloring all my images in tan, brown, pink and red tones using my Copic Markers.  To fill the ninth space in my square grid, I added a red Scalloped Heart die-cut to the top right corner which I heat embossed with the punny sentiment from the Puppy Love Stamps.

Card Set No. 3: Next up is a set of two dog sympathy cards using the new Puppy Love Stamps, together with the sentiments from our Pet Sympathy Stamps. To start I inked up two 4.25 x 5.5 inch white cardstock panels with Picked Raspberry distress ink. I then randomly stamped the four mini hearts from the puppy love set to once again create my own handmade patterned paper that perfectly compliments the dogs and other hearts which I also colored with Copic Markers.

Version 1: For this card I cut a scalloped frame for my simple scene using our Mini Mat & Tag 1 Dies. To form the grass and sky behind my dog I cut the grass border from our Picket Fence Dies from a piece of masking material, keeping both the positive and negative portions. This allowed me to use one side to the ink the grass and then the other side to ink my sky using distress inks. I was carefully to only ink near the middle so that it would fade out to white along the edges of my scalloped mat.

Version 2: For this card I alternately cut a scalloped frame using our Mini Mat & Tag 2 Dies. For both cards I added sweet sentiments from our Pet Sympathy Stamps which come with greetings for both cats and dogs (and other furry critters) using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

Here's a closer look at the new Puppy Love Stamps and Puppy Love Dies. While these are available in our store now, the rest of our Spring Release will be shared with our Sneak Peek Week starting on January 9th and available to purchase on January 13th. 

 

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and will continue to check back each day this week to see more fun ideas using this cute set by the rest of the team. :)
