Happy Tails & Nine Lives - Stamp Review Crew

December 15, 2019

Welcome to the Happy Tails & Nine Lives Edition of Stamp Review Crew.

I love both of these bundles but I opted to create a card using the Happy Tails stamp set. I knew I wanted to dress this pooch up with a little pink scarf from the Let it Snow Embellishments.

This card also features a sneak peek of a new embossing folder (Basket Weave) available Jan 3.

Pet cards - TGIF Challenges Gingham Challenge - TGIFC213

May 23, 2019

Hello friends! Today the TGIF Designers are playing with gingham! And using the Gingham Gala designer series papers are a perfect choice for this challenge. Have you seen this gingham paper stack? It’s so cheery and packed with a small and larger gingham patterns in five bright colors. I decided to pair these papers with the Cat & Dog stamp sets from the Occasions catalog. The cat stamp set is called Nine Lives and the Dog set is called Happy tails. Each set has a coordinating animal punch.

The cat card is created with the smaller gingham check using the negative shape of the cat punch. Get more out of your punches using both the positive and negative shapes. The cat shape is super cute as a silhouette. The cat is adorned with a little paper flower built from the Bitty Blooms Punch pack. Simple and fun idea.

Happy Tails Dog lover card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

The dog card uses the larger gingham check for the background. The dog has been stamped in Versamark and heat embossed on Lemon Lime Twist card stock. The dog shape has been punched from Whisper White cardstock and used to frame the stamped image. Both cards use the same elements and similar layout.

The sentiment on BOTH of the cards comes from the Nine Lives stamp set and it works great for both cat and dog lovers.

I’ve used this Gingham Gala paper a ton! It’s available for $11.00 until the end of May. See more fun projects using these papers at the end of this post. Also, supplies for these projects can be found at the end of this post.

Happy Tails - Global Design Project CASE the Designer Challenge - GDP180

March 11, 2019

Hello friends. Welcome to this weeks Global Design project. We are casing this super cool project made by Stesha Bloodhart. I love Stesha’s style, she has a great attention to detail and always pulls in such cool texture. I opted to case the basic layout from this card of Stesha’s and used the Happy Tails bundle to create my card.

My Aunt’s long time fur pal recently passed away. He was a great dog and lived a full and happy life. He was a service dog for a number of years and came to live with my Aunt when he retired from service. I made this card for her and tried to personalize the dog to look like her dog Tank. He was a yellow lab that always wore some kind of bandana. He loved his bandanas. The happy Tails stamp set does not include a bandana so I drew one and hand cut it out to fit him.

The dog has been colored using a combination of Crumb Cake and Daffodil delight Stampin’ Blends and then punched out using the Dog Punch.

I had to decorate the card inside with one of the great sentiments from the set. Here’s a glimpse of the inside of the card.
