Puppy Love!

Happy Monday!

My first card of the week is this cute little dog stamp called

Bella & Friends

I stamped him at jaunty angles just for fun and really liked the end result.

He has been stamped using Memento

and just for a change I got out my water colour pencils and blender pen

and gave them all some shading.

I used some glycerine and pool party ink spot for my sky colour

using a hand made cloud template.

When I stamped the sentiment I split it up so I could pop a bit on each picture.

The name has been added using Make a Difference stamp set.

It was all stamped on Very Vanilla card stock and matted onto

Garden Impressions 6 x 6 inch dsp!

I am starting my week with some lovely fruity tea!

I love using my envelope punch board to make these cute little packages.

I have delved into my Garden Impressions dsp again for this one.

You just simply decide on the size of envelope you want,

cut the paper and follow the instructions provided

right there on your envelope board!

I finished mine off using Tabs for Everything stamp for sentiment,

Pretty Kitty for the little kitten and Bella & Friends for the bird.

I wrapped some linen thread for the closure.

I also invested in some Stampin' Blends, yes they are in stock again!!!

to colour my images.

I have a few bags of these graze bags I bought for a present for someone

and rather than pop them in a gift bag I wanted to spruce them up a bit.

So this is what I made.

He is a real animal lover, especially dogs

so the cute little Bella and Friends Stamp set was perfect for this.

I stapled a Grapefruit Grove piece of card over the top

of my cellophane bag and then covered in the new In Colours dsp.

I stamped the dogs in memento ink and coloured them

using Stampin Write pens.

The sentiments are from the same set.

I like how it looks and it makes it feel a little big special!

You've got a friend in me!

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing a sweet little card I made for a friend.

I have used two stamp sets and a bit of masking.

The stamp sets are called

Bella and Friends & Pretty Kitty

They are jam packed full of the cutest images and sentiments.

I stamped using memento ink and coloured with promarkers

and stampin write pens.

The striped paper is from the Tutti Frutti dsp

and I teamed it up with some Pool Party card.

I also added a tiny little bow made from some linen thread

I finished the inside off with one of the sentiment stamps and the little bird again.
