Doggone Friendly Stamp Set Three Ways

 Hello Craftin' Friends!

Have you ever had the experience where some tasks are just really difficult to get completed? This blog post is one of those, because I had difficulty when recording the video Tuesday night, and I've been fighting illness all week. But I love these cards!

The Doggone Friendly Stamp Set is so fun to use. The doggy faces that cover the stamp are all so cute...and friendly! Their happy faces make me smile every time I use this set.

Now, I know that background stamps are a little different, and you  may not be sure about how to use them. That's why I created these cards and this video tutorial. 

The first card uses the stamped image cut into panels. I added two mats, then added a sentiment from the Layering Leaves Stamp Set to complete the card. Panel cards are also very effective done with Designer Series Paper Panels.

For the second card, I stamped the dogs, then die cut a section of the large image to create my focal point. I used the Everyday Details Dies and the In Color 2023 -25 Designer Series Paper to decorate my card. The sentiment is from the Darling Details Stamp Set and I cut it out using one of the Stylish Shapes dies.

My third card has a window and the stamped image of the dogs peeks through, The sentiment for this card is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set.

Materials used to make these cards are available in my online store. Please use Host Code WRHPHZ9S for orders less than $200. If you try these ides with an alternate background stamp, be sure to share your cards in the comments. I would love to see what you do!

Cheerful Daisies Stamped DSP for Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights

 Hello Craftin' Friends!

Today in the craft room I was making a card to share with my Granny's Craftin' Cannucks Team. I challenged everyone to stamp their own Designer Series Paper and then make a card with it. As I was working, I decided to make a Thank You card for Kylie's International Blog Highlights Gallery. I hope you'll love the card and decide to vote for me to be in the Blog Hop at the end of the month!

As I was making the card, I had a little problem getting my DSP cut to the right size, so I had some extra boxes. There's a saying amongst stampers that there are no mistakes, only creative opportunities. So I took my cut pieces and added a couple to the inside of the card and one on the envelope. 

I had trouble getting a photo without shadow today in the craft room. My apologies for that, but what do you think of the idea of adding boxes inside the card and on the envelope? I have to admit that I love the look.

The gallery is available to see on this page. Please hop over and like my card!

Happy Crafting!
