I have collected lots of heart dies through my years of card making. If you don’t have heart dies there is a nice set in the new Occasions catalog on page 6(Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies).

Happy Tails and Gala Gingham DSP

The above cards pairs the Happy Tails bundle with the Gingham Gala DSP available in the new Occasions catalog. These cards would make good Valentine’s, Birthday or anniversary cards.
They take a little longer and use more materials than yesterday’s simple stamping card.
Materials used:
Card bases- petal pink, balmy blue and white cardstock cut on the 81/2 inch side at 4/14, then folded
at 1/2.
Layering piece-1. Gingham paper cut at 4x51/4 (save the scrap for next Card).
                         2. Layering oval cut out of Whisper White scrap
Stampin  pads-petal pink, highland heather and balmy blue
Oval layering Framelits
Happy Tails stamps
Dog Builder Punch
Scrap Whisper White cardstock

Directions:
1. Cut out the card base, Gingham paper and oval
2. Glue Gingham layer to front of card base
3. Stamp dog on scrap of Whisper White. Stamp spots on dog.Punch out.
4. Glue oval on top of the Gingham paper and use Stampin dimensionals
to glue dog on top of oval
5. Stamp sentiment and stamp hearts on the oval
Don’t stress if you don’t have everything. Instead of an oval use a shape you have or just cut a square.
Use inks you have to match the Gingham paper. If you don’t have the colored card stock use white as I did on the purple one. Assess what you have and have fun.
If you are interested in getting the Happy Tails stamp set or bundle with the punch you can go to my website to purchase it or any other products your interested in.
Have fun stamping. Remember to save that Gingham scrap and I’ll show you what I did with it tomorrow.
