Sending Hugs!

Good morning, friends!! It’s Laurie with you to share a card made using brand new products that are available NOW!!! I am in love with everything from this release but especially the new Thin Alpha Dies and Ears to You Stamp Set!!

The elephants in the Ears To You stamp set are absolutely adorable! There is a few different poses to choose from along with different elements to create your scene. I chose this cutie holding what I can only assume, is a handmade card :). I coloured her up with alcohol markers as well as a couple leaves and used the co-ordinating dies to cut them out.

I used one of the Stitched Rectangles Set 2 dies to use as the base of my scene. I masked off a straight line in about the middle of the panel and gently blended some light blue ink to create a bit of a sky.

I die cut the letters to spell “hugs” out of some paper from the Pastel Dreams Paper Pad as well as white craft foam. I love using this, especially on thinner die cuts where cutting thin strips of foam adhesive would just take too long! I used a portion of a sentiment from the Forever In My Heart sentiment set. It actually says “sending hugs” but obviously, we’ve got the HUGS covered! I used the smallest of the Sentiment Strip Dies to cut it out. I decided to trim one edge off to make it look like a flag.

I adhered the “hugs” with liquid glue and used foam adhesive for the sweet elephant. I decided to layer the stitched panel onto a piece of the same striped paper that I used for the dies. And that entire piece was popped up onto a side fold, white card base. To add a pop of colour, I used some of the new Spring Meadow Enamel Shapes, in a bright, yellow colour.

And that’s all from me today! I hope you get a chance to check out this amazing release. Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!

Laurie
