Using Valentine stamps for a Birthday Card

Howdy everyone! I know it is time to make Valentines, but today I have a card where I used a Valentine stamp for a children’s birthday card.  I am always happy to add one of these to the stash!  


I did paper piece this dog by stamping onto both patterned paper and white cardstock.  I added a touch of coloring to the dog, but carefully trimmed out him out in white and adhered him to the patterned paper.  I also added blue stickles to the heart.


The background was made with star dies.  I used the embossing sandwich with my die cutting machine so the shapes showed up but they did not cut.  I like this look to keep the card more clean and simple.


Supplies:  Just for Fun Rubber Stamps Cat/Dog Hearts and Sweet Birthday Wishes, Versafine Black Ink, DCWV Citrus Stack paper, Blue stickles, Nicole Star dies, MFT Die Namics Pierced Square dies.

Thanks so much for visiting today!

Such a cute idea using your Valentine heart with a dog inside. Your turequoise and yellow is such a pretty colour combination.
