September 15, 2023, Doggone Good Friends CLR287 Stamps and PPRS-D287 Dies

Hey everybody! Another week is almost behind us and we've once again quickly landed on Friday... but that's not a bad thing! Leslie here, sharing an inspiration project featuring the super adorable new Doggone Good Friends stamps and coordinating Doggone Good Friends dies! I'm sure everybody has that silly 'ride or die' friend who would appreciate a card made with these products! I've once again employed the inlaid die cut window technique for this fun friendship card, and I'm thrilled with how it turned out!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from white cardstock along with a layering panel from a mango colored patterned paper. I adhered the patterned paper to the card base avoiding adhesive on the center portion where I planned to die cut an aperture for the inlay. Using a die from the Doggone Good Friends die set, I cut an aperture into the front flap of the card base, reserving the white cardstock negative space piece for stamping the focal image from the Doggone Good Friends stamp set.

I colored the image with alcohol markers and cut it with the coordinating Doggone Good Friends die. I stamped the first part of the sentiment on a scrap piece of white cardstock in black ink, trimmed it and adhered it across the top of the card front. I stamped the other two parts of the sentiment directly on the card front and added several clear iridescent gemstones which I colored with an alcohol marker. 

I cut layering panels and an embellishing strip for the inside from additional mango colored patterned papers, and adhered the focal image through the aperture onto the inside panel. Such a fun card!

Dainty Dragonflies

This morning on my way to work, I jumped as I closed the gate. Resting on the fence post was an enormous dragonfly. 

I'm not really that afraid of them, but it was just a shock to find him there and I didn't want to disturb him! 

Today's post features creations with the new Dainty Dragonflies set released in May 2017. Also available is the matching Dainty Dragonflies Die Set, making these beauties a snap to cut out. 

How many times can you get a stamp set and matching dies for less than $25.00? 

First up on the blog today with this set is Sharon. She's created a beautiful rainbow background, stamped with the There is Only One Happiness sentiment. The dragonflies have been stamped on acetate, giving them an iridescent shimmer.

 

Heidi's been stamping up a herd of dragonflies! This first card is paired with the By Your Side sentiment.

   

 

This gorgeous scene evokes images of a nighttime pond trip. Can you hear the frogs?

 

And Heidi goes with pastels for her final creation. These dragonflies are paired with the Circles Set sentiments.

 

These dainty dragonflies are much cuter than the large guy on my fence post! I hope you enjoyed our Tuesday post.
