February New Release Blog Hop Day 1

YESSSS!!! I'm so happy to be here today and with some sassy and fabulous new products for you to enjoy!!!

Let's get right to showing off the new goodies!!

I am SO EXCITED about this first set as it's been a long time in the making! Introducing Dog Hugs - the canine lover's version of our original Cat Hugs Stamps!!!  

This is a large 6x8 set featuring this adorable line up of pups exactly 5.50" wide fitting the horizontal width of an A2 card base. The set also features fun accessories for the dogs to hold in their sweet little paws and fantastic coordinating sentiments for lots of cardmaking occasions like thanks and birthday. This is also a great set when you want to give someone a card from "all of us" like in an office setting or even from class to a teacher.

This entirely hand illustrated set is extra special when used with its coordinating die set which does a couple of different things - it's really like three die sets in one. 

In our Dog Hugs Die Set, there is a coordinating die for every accessory in the set. Then, there are two additional dies; a die which will cut along the top border edge of the dogs and a set of paws dies. These two pieces can be left wired together for use at the same time. The paws dies are especially cool because they make cuts all around the paws so that the dogs can actually hold their accessories!

Next up is our Snarky Shadow Hello Die & Stamp Bundle!

You will receive both the stamp and die with your purchase which is great! This is truly a fun set to play with. First, stamp the hello word in any color you like and then stamp its coordinating shadow in a complementary color. It's easy to line up with a clear block or stamping tool like the MISTI. The shadow really makes this word POP! Then, you have a whole bunch of sentiments to pair with this word for so many different card making occasions and of course, all of the sentiments are done in a sassy or snarky tone. This is a great die and stamp set for making a quick and easy set of cards!

This might be my most favorite cover up die in our collection of all time!! Our Cover Up Die Mod Circles is so pretty! It's classic and classy but so modern and fresh featuring circles that are linked and overlapping. This is a fun die to use to create a faux layering look!

This Fabulous Word Die....well, it's fabulous of course and pairs well with so many of the new stamps and dies in this release.  It really stands alone to create a simple greeting and is perfect for all the fabulous ladies in your life!

Our new Sassy Pants Stamps is a set of sentiments done in a snarky or sassy tone! I have been waiting for the perfect time to release this. Ask the DT, they've had this FOREVER!!!! I am so excited to release it today because it mixes and matches so nicely with so many of the dies and stamps in this release and it can be used for so many different card making occasions like thanks, birthdays, friendship and love to name a few. 

This might be my personal favorite in this release! Our Sassy Girl Dies and Stamps work together to make the sweetest little face and I love that her hair is in a messy bun because that's typically the look I sport on an everyday basis!!  WAIT until you see this set in action!!!

The stamps contain lots of sentiments and accessories that really bring the dies to life. It includes flower stamps for her hair, a headband or bow and two different sets of lashes that are FABULOUS!!!

Here are a couple of projects I made using these new supplies.

Here I started with a 4.25" card base and I stamped it with the scribble lines stamp in our Cozy Plaid Stamp Set to make this trendy plaid. Then, I die cut the face from vanilla card stock and added some sponged distressed inks to get a warmer skin tone. I added in her blush using a mini blending tool which worked great.  Then, I die cut her hair from kraft paper and added in some flicks with my Copic markers to get a more realistic hair look which I then topped with a sparkly crown. To finish her face I stamped her lashes and die cut her lips. The sentiment was created with our Border Builders Die Set and I just think this is perfect!

What I like about these supplies so much is how different you can make the faces look by where you place the eyes and lips. In the above example, her face is a little chubbier, like mine, because I put her lips a little higher up. See how different she looks in the example below?

Here is used all the same supplies to make my face but this time I added flowers to her hair which I LOVE!!!!! I stamped them and die cut them in matching colors and used the same technique on her hair as I did in the first project. I love the way this turned out. This time I used a sentiment from our Sassy Pants Stamps. See how perfect these sets are together???
