Oh my goodness! Are you ready for today’s total cuteness? Today is release day (Day 3) at Newton’s Nook Designs. I hope you have been checking out the daily posts since Monday. The whole design team at NND has been busy creating wonderful projects to give you some daily inspiration. You also have a chance to win each stamp set during release week so check out the details I have indicated at the end of this blog post.
For my cards, I used this cute Pug Hugs stamp set and Pug Hugs coordinating dies, stamping my images on Neenah solar white card stock with my memento tuxedo black ink. I colored the Pugs using my Copic markers and die-cut the images with its coordinating dies with my die-cutting machine.
Here is my first card:
Since Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, I just had to make a Valentine-themed Pug card! I created my own patterned paper by combining the hearts from the Pug Hugs stamp set and the Flirty Flamingos stamp set.
Don’t you just love those cute Pugs? This stamp set will be available for purchase on January 20 at 8:00 a.m. CST.
