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.

True Friend Card | MFT SC 280

I finally was able to organize my craft room and thought I’d join the current MFT Stamps Sketch Challenge No. 280.

 

I am a dog-lover and I have a weakness for chihuahuas.  The new Lucky Dog stamp set from MFT Stamps is probably one of my favorite dog stamp set. The little chihuahua image is so adorable I just had to show it off.

 

Here is my rendition for this week’s challenge.  What do you think?
