Hot Dog Stitched With Whimsy

It’s always exciting to receive new product, and a box arrived on my doorstep yesterday. The January-June 2021 Catalog has so much to love, I couldn’t get it all at once. But, I have a feeling the Hot Dog Stamp Set and Stitched With Whimsy Dies will become fast favorites.

Puppy Love

I couldn’t wait to give the Stitched With Whimsy Dies a roll through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. This die is the second to largest, and fits perfectly on a 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″ piece of Basic White Cardstock. The dies are debossing tools, so rather than completely cutting, they leave a detailed, stitched impression in the paper. You can see all the sizes in my Product List below.

After admiring the whimsical stitching, I backed the white layer with Real Red Cardstock, 1/8″ larger, giving it a 1/16″ border. Then, I glued both to a Smoky Slate card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Next, I stamped one of the smiling dogs from the Hot Dog Stamp Set, cut him free, and colored him with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. His smile is contagious, isn’t it?

In addition to cute pups, this stamp set also has some fun sentiments to coordinate. I stamped, “I love you, that’s the long and short of it,” on Peony Garden Designer Paper in Petal Pink. I liked the texture of this paper, rather than using solid cardstock. Then, I cut the heart with a Be Mine Stitched Die, and backed it for thickness.

The heart and pup were attached with Dimensionals, and my card, using exciting, new, product was complete. I’m already planning my next card with the Hot Dog Stamp Set that I’ll post on Wednesday!

I was inspired by the colors at TGIF.
