I saved my favorite for last. I am loving the new Dog Hugs stamp set. We released the Cat Hugs a few months back and we had to keep things even and released the dog version this time. It's just as fabulous and totally cute. I colored up the full image with Copic markers and then used the coordinating Dog Hugs Dies to cut it out. I love that there is the die that gives cut marks to the little paws so some of the images can hold onto things. 

I ended up cutting the completed image to create two cards. I used the Stitched Mats-circles to create a little round window for my first card. I stamped a sentiment from the Sassy Pants stamp set along the bottom in Midnight ink. I then layered it up onto a Rounded Rectangle of pattern paper. 

I then used the remaining piece of the colored Dog Hugs image with a Rounded Rectangle frame (layer up two sizes of the dies and run them through the die cut machine together. 

This time I added a sentiment from the Dog Hugs stamp set and gave the dogs hearts and flowers. In the background you'll see the cool Perfect Palette Die. I love those tiny dots peaking through the large circle cut outs. 

Here is the blog hop line up for today.

Color Throwdown 532-Dear Friend

Hi, everyone! It's time for a new challenge! Barbara is here as our hostess wtih this week's colors. Remember, we're using generic colors, so as long as you use the color values shown: coral, red, green, and kraft you'll be good...the color police won't come after you--this is all about having fun! And, feel free to incorporate any other neutrals you need in your design, as well. 

If you upload to a public gallery, please use the key words CTD532, and please use #ctd532 and #colorthrowdown on social media sites. Also, when linking up your card using the linky tool at the bottom of the post, please link to your specific post, not a generic link to your blog--all of the "rules" are in the right sidebar, so check 'em out to be sure. Importantly, though, no digital designs, only digital images that are printed off and colored will be allowed. Totally digital designs will be removed from the link up. 

I started with some gorgeous pattern paper from the Cheerful & Kind paper pad by Reverse Confetti. I then cut one of the smaller Scalloped Squares Confetti Cuts in Sand card stock. 

I am dreaming of Spring so I reached for the Banner in Bloom stamp set and colored up some flowers. I used the coordinating Banner in Bloom Confetti Cuts to cut them out and then added a sentiment along the bottom in Midnight ink. 

Now here is some great inspiration from the talented design team.  We can't wait to see what you create!

February is coming to a close and that means there is just a little more time to get in your cards for the Stock Your Stash Challenge over on the RC Blog. This month's challenge theme is Encouragement or Congratulations. 

I went with encouragement. I love this sentiment from My Rock. I stamped it in Abyss ink onto Polar White card stock. I added a strip of Paper Bliss paper to the top of the sentiment panel. 

I used my favorite Stitched Rays Cover panel in the background. I did some ink blending with Spun Sugar and Festive Berries Distress Oxide inks. I added some water splatters and clear sequins to finish it off. 

Some things to note about this challenge...

There will be a new Stock Your Stash challenge posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 1st of each month.

Ok. Today has me all giddy. I LOVE these sentiment sets. They are snarky and witty and so fabulous. It's fun to pair up with all your other LID stamps. I combined the Sassy Pants stamps with a previously released, beautiful floral stamp Corner Adorner. I have been playing along with the coloring challenge by Kathy from The Daily Marker. I have been practicing a bit with my Polychromos colored pencils. 

I stamped it in Versamark and then heat embossed with white embossing powder. I love the look of white on kraft card stock and these pencils really pop against colored cardstock. I love how this turned out, so the sentiment is totally funny and real. 

Also just released is the Shadow Hello Die combo. I love the bold font and the extra bit of detail with shadow stamp. I only added it to the last "hello" I stamped for emphasis, and the extra sentiment just makes this card. I love it. I hope you do too. 

Here is the blog hop line up for today.

Lil' Inker Designs/Feb Release Day 1

It's an exciting day around here. It's RELEASE Day for Lil' Inker Designs and there are some fun and fabulous stamps and dies just for you! There is a lot to love with this release!

Oh, wait....before I dive in, you can find all the release details over on Laura's Blog. check it out! You can find the shopping link HERE....but you'll want to wait to see what the team has to share. It's soooo good, trust me.

 All you have to do is leave comments along your way  today and every day, as you hop.  We'll pick one winner from a DT Member's blog.

 First up from me is this awesome new Sassy Girl stamp and die set. It was so fun to play around with, and you'll love all the different looks you can get with this set. I started by cutting out some of the die cut pieces from Sassy Girl Dies, the face and lips I cut from some Premium Polar White card stock and the crown was cut with some silver glitter card stock. 

To get the perfect skin tone, I used the Life Changing Blending Brushes and Spun Sugar with a touch of Tea Dye Distress Oxide inks. I then used a smaller brush to blend on some Festive Berries Distress Oxide to her lips and cheeks for a touch of blush. I stamped on her gorgeous eye lashes in Midnight ink. I cut her hair from some Dark Roast card stock. 

I am a huge fan of any of the cover dies. This month we are releasing the cool Mod Circles. I used it today to create a stencil and did some ink blending with it to keep my layers to a minimum on the background. I stamped the sentiment from Sassy Girl with Midnight ink onto a strip of white card stock. I then snipped it to cut out just the words I wanted. I used the new Fabulous Word Die to finish off my greeting. I tucked in some stars and sequins for a touch of sparkle! 

Here is the blop hop line up for today.

Color Throwdown 531- Hello Friend

Hello everyone! Amy Rysavy is our host for week's Color Throwdown challenge! This week's color challenge is definitely an out-of-the-box combo (for me anyway!) but I just LOVED how they all go together! The colors for this week are to use rust, purple, grey and white. Remember we just use generic colors (so any brand/type/whatever you have will work) and you can always feel free to add in neutrals (white/black/etc) to make your creation pop!

If you upload your creation to a public gallery, please use the keyword CTD531, and please use #CTD531 and #colorthrowdown on social media so we can find your gorgeous creations!  When linking up your creation using the linky tool below, please be sure to link your specific post, not a general link to your blog.  All of the "rules" are in the right sidebar, and you can always check there to be sure!

One last detail to remember, no digital designs.  Only digital images that are printed off and colored will be allowed.  Totally digital designs will be removed from the link up.

I pulled out a handful of my Reverse Confetti products for my card this week. I am loving stencils and my Life Changing Blending Brushes and my glass Media Mat by Tim Holtz. I used Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink with the Leaf Lattice Stencil. I then inked up the sweet little houses from Holiday Gnomes in Stormy ink and used the matching Holiday Gnomes Confetti Cuts to cut them out. 

I created a custom greeting with the "hello" word die from Thanks & Hello Label Confetti Cuts. I cut it twice from Premium polar White card stock and blended on the purple ink to make it pop. I used the word "friend" from With Love sentient set. I just masked off the other words allowing me to only stamp what I wanted. I added the rust color from the challenge with Rust card stock and the sweet little sprigs from Flower Wrap Confetti Cuts. 

Now here is some great inspiration from the talented design team.  We can't wait to see what you create!
