Living My Dream: Pretty Pink Posh Blog Hop - "One Stamp, Five Ways"

Pretty Pink Posh Blog Hop - "One Stamp, Five Ways" - Playful Puppies

Hello crafty friends! Today is day two of a star filled Pretty Pink Posh new release blog hop! I think it's pretty clear that ALL designers LOVE PPP as she has so many great talents participating in this two day hop. You should be about half way through the second day, but if you missed the first, you can start hopping here on the PPP blog. Every couple of months PPP comes out with a new product release that is always a stunner. Here is an image of the entire release which can be purchased in a bundle for 10% off.

I've created several cards for you today for a "one stamp, five ways" post using the new Playful Puppies stamp and die set. I am only sharing three of the five cards today as Paulina will be showing the other two on the PPP blog soon, but I have included sneaks below. I also blogged a couple cards a few days ago when the release went live that I'll show below. So here we go!

Card 1:

My first card uses the Stitched Notes die for the white frame. I watercolored some watercolor paper blue and green for the sky and the ground. I used the Stacked Edges 1 Die for the grass. I splattered some watercolor on the papers when they were wet so there are splotches. I stamped all of the dogs from the Playful Puppies set on cardstock and colored them in with Copics. I added shading with colored pencils.

I placed the frame over the background. I arranged the dogs from the Playful Puppies set and the bird from the Happy Mail set on the background. I die-cut two of the HUGS circle frame die and then cut the word Hugs out of both. I layered them over the bird and the background. I added some Sea Glass Jewels and some Blue Lagoon Tonic Nuvo Drops to finish it.

Card 2:

hugs 1

For the background of this card, I watercolored some gray polka dots on white watercolor paper. I then outlined them with a fine tip black marker in a messy doodled manner. I die-cut the Hugs die out of watercolor paper. I painted the inside pieces with black watercolor and then I layered them over the background inserting the painted pieces back where they went.

I stamped the two dogs and the three hearts on white cardstock with MFT Natural Ink and colored with Copics and colored pencils. I added some pink Jewels for the cheeks and black Nuvo Drops for the eyes. I used some of the new jewels around the HUGS die in Metallic Rose and Silver.

Card 3:

get well soon

I used the Storybook 5 die for the background of this card. I die-cut a stitched rectangle from white cardstock and then die-cut the die from the center. I watercolored a piece of watercolor paper a deep green and used that under my shaker window. Inside my shaker I used Jewels in several colors including the new Metallic Rose and Metallic Gold. I also used yellow, green and blue jewels.

I die-cut the word Get Well Soon and placed that over the window. I stamped the dogs and bones on white cardstock and colored with Copics and colored pencils. I arranged all of the items over the bottom window. I added some more of the Metallic Rose and Gold jewels over the top of the card.

Card 4 and 5 Sneaks:
