Hello, Ai Fans!
We are so excited to announce the release of two ADORABLE Valentine's Day stamp sets! They both feature some super cute characters you are sure to love. Our first set is the Lovable Animals Set which features an Owl, Cat, Elephant and Fox. This set comes with the dies included which allows you to cut out the animals' arms to hold lovable items. You will also find 5 sentiment stamps to create the perfect Valentine's Day card.
Our second set is the Sending Love Cubbies. I know many of you have fallen in love with our Cubbies sets, and this one will not let you down. It features an adorable bunny whose front apron can be cut out to hold fun goodies. The die set included cuts out bits of the mailbox so you can make it full of all kinds of happy mail.
Carol is here to showcase our new Sending Love Cubbies Set!
Hello Ai friends! Today I have a card using the oh so adorable new Sending Love set. This set has so many images that can be used together or separately!
I love the interactive features of the mailbox!
I stamped the images in Copic safe ink and colored them with the colors listed below. I used the coordinating dies (Yes! there are dies!) to cut them out. Notice the slit, cut by the die in the bunnies apron, where you can tuck in whichever little elements you'd like. Next, using an ink blending brush, I inked up a grassy piece with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks. I adhered the pieces in the mailbox and added a small brad to the arrow to attach it to the side. I adhered it all to a piece of Neenah I die cut with a Rectangle Double Stitched die. Some of it is adhered with liquid glue and other elements I used foam squares. This is all on a top-folding A2 card base.
I stamped the sentiment in black ink and die cut it with a Flag Double Stitched die. To create the red layer I set the die on a piece of red card stock and traced around the outside of it with a pencil. I used scissors to cut it and adhered it to the sentiment piece. Add a few foam squares to the back to pop it up.
This little bunny is so sweet and I had so much fun playing with the pieces and parts for this card. Thank you for stopping by and taking a look! Happy crafting!
