Playful Puppies

Just a note: this is my second blog post of the day. Please make sure you scroll down to see this week's Get Sketchy challenge!

For these two projects, I got to play with some adorable new stamps from DeNami Design. It is called Playful Puppies, and it is a Petit Four set which means you get four adorable little stamps to mix and match on your projects!

For my first project, I made a brightly colored card featuring a little hound from the set. These stamps coordinate so perfectly with DeNami's other stamps. For this card, I paired it with the Dog House. (oops-there's another sneak peek for you!) I also stamped Happy Birthday from the All-Occasions Sentiment set. I finished my card off with some fun details: a punched border from EK Success, striped ribbon from American Crafts, and an oversized button from DeNami Design.

On to my second project: a tiny gift bag with tons of style! This project features the little poodle from the Playful Puppies set. I was inspired to create a super-girly look for this. I paired the image with a computer-generated sentiment ("Pamper yourself!") and a rhinestone-studded collar/ribbon. These stamps also look great with DeNami's current stamps, such as the Paw Print. I personalized the tissue paper by randomly stamping the paw print. It was the finishing touch for this little bag! Can't you just picture this as the perfect gift bag to hold some sparkly nail polish or a spa gift card?
