You're Paw-some Card by Samantha Mann

BUTT really... 

Today's paw-some corgi card by Samantha is sure to make you giggle! 

This hilarious card features the cute corgis with their butts facing us from our Corgi Beach Stamp Set. She stamped and colored three of them, giving them cute pink cheeks and adding accents with a white gel pen. She cut the corgis out using the coordinating Corgi Beach Die Set. 

These fun corgis go perfectly with the custom sentiment she created. She inked up a gorgeous green background using distress inks. Then she used our Essential Alphabet Die Set to cut letters out of the background to spell "BUTT REALLY" and added black cardstock behind the cut outs to make them pop. Then she added the sentiment "you're paw-some" from our Heartfelt Woofs Stamp Set underneath the big words to complete the funny message. She embossed the sentiment in white onto a black banner that was die cut using our Banner Trio Die Set. This fun banner has fold lines that allow you to pop the banner up for some extra fun and dimension too. 

To finish out her adorable card, she stamped a few dog themed elements from our Welcome New Dog Stamp Set to add to the fun puppy theme. She used the leash, dog dish, bone and tennis ball and colored them all using fun bright colors. Then she used the Welcome New Dog Die Set to cut them out and added everything to her card front. 

We know that the recipient of this card will definitely crack a smile when they receive it!

Wish You Were Here Card by Samantha Mann

Wish You Were Here!

Today we are wishing were were at the beach with this gorgeous card by Samantha! She created a stunning beach scene by creating layers of sand and waves using our Land Borders Die Set and Sea Borders Die Set. She added colors to the die cut layers using distress inks in vibrant colors! Then she added textures on them by adding water splatters and white and colored ink splatters! Love that look!

Once the scene was created she filled it with furry friends! On the shore she used the image of the dog wearing an inner tube and scuba gear from our Dog Days of Summer Stamp Set. In the waves she added the corgi from our Corgi Beach Stamp Set. Behind another wave she added the kitty in the back with the scuba mask from our Newton's Summer Vacation Stamp Set. The original image has him looking into a fish bowl but she cut it apart and tucked it behind a wave! So creative! She colored all the images using gorgeous bright colors and carefully fussy cut them out by hand! The wish you were here sentiment from the Newton's Summer Vacation Stamp Set is added on in the top corner.

This amazing scene would be perfect to send summer greetings to a friend that you miss!

Have a Corgeous Summer Slimline Card by Andrea Shell

"Corgeous" Summer! 

Today we are headed back to the beach but this time we are featuring some of our favorite pups, corgis! Andrea used those cute corgis from our Corgi Beach Stamp Set to create a slimline card that is filled with summer fun! She started out by coloring two of the corgi images, one with a grass hula skirt and one riding a surfboard. She cut the images out using the coordinating Corgi Beach Die Set.

For the background panel she stenciled a seashell pattern using our Seashells Stencil. She then cut it into a long scalloped shape using the long frame die cut from our Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set. She added the square stitched frame with three windows using our Slimline Frames & Windows Die Set and used two of the stitched square interior cuts that you get when you get cut out the frame and created beach scenes on them. She used our Hills & Grass Stencil and our Waves & Splashes Stencil for the waves and land on the backgrounds.

To finish it out, in the center she added the sentiment "Have a corgeous summer" from the Corgi Beach Stamp Set.

Thank you, Andrea, for the "corgeous" summer inspiration!

Live, Love, Aloha Card by Samantha Mann

Live • Love• Aloha!

Are you in the mood for summer fun? This card by Samantha is perfect for a summer greeting! She created a delightful scene combing a bunch of NND products! To start out she colored the kitty with the ukulele from our Aloha Newton Stamp Set and the cute corgi wearing a hula skirt from our Corgi Beach Stamp Set. Don't they work perfectly together!? After she colored them in gorgeous vibrant hues, she cut the images out using the coordinating Aloha Newton Die Set and Corgi Beach Die Set.

To set the scene, she created two little islands using our Circle Frames Die Set and inking the die cut shapes with distress inks. She added a curve of waves in front using our Land Borders Die Set, again adding lovely distress inks to the shape. in the background she stenciled a leaf pattern using our Tropical Leaves Stencil and some green inks. To add on more leaves and flowers she stamped images from our Toucan Party Stamp Set (cut out with the coordinating Toucan Party Die Set). Plus, she added seashells from our Manatee-rific Stamp Set and a couple of tiny starfish from our Purr-maid Newton Stamp Set.

The finishing touch is the "Live Love Aloha" from the Aloha Newton Stamp Set, embossed in white onto a black banner.

What a gorgeous tropical scene! The colors are so vibrant and perfect the the tropical setting!

Just a Little Note Card by Andrea Shell

Just a Little Note!

Today Andrea created an adorable card that's perfect for sending a note to a friend who likes dogs! She created this card combining elements from several different stamp sets. She started with the corgi from our Corgi Beach Stamp Set and combined him with the typewriter from our My Type Stamp Set. She colored both images and cut them out using the coordinating Corgi Beach Die Set and My Type Die Set. She added the "Just a little note" sentiment from the Garden Mice Stamp Set, which ties the images together perfectly. For the striped background she used our Serene Stripes Stencil.

The fun layers were created using our two favorite shape sets! The postage edge frame is from the Framework Die Set.  The rounded rectangle and flag are from the Frames & Flags Die Set and the stitched circle is from the Frames Squared Die Set. These three die sets are essential for layering and work great together!
