Over the past few weeks I’ve been getting shipments of new product from the soon to be released 2014-2015 Annual Inspirations Idea Book. I can’t wait any longer to share some of the fun new stamps, paper, etc!!

I love making 3×3 cards!! They are perfect to throw in a gift basket, punch a hole in the corner and attach to a gift bag, or just to send out as a regular card!! I started by using the Dot Embossing Folder on White Daisy Cardstock. I love the fun, HOSTESS EXCLUSIVE, Cuddly Salutations Stamp Set* that this adorable Dachshund comes on. I stamped the image in Archival Black Exclusive Ink™ and colored it using the new ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Markers*. I added a circular layer of Seaside B&T* and then added the sentiment from the same stamp set using the same ink.

I ventured way outside my comfort zone on this card, and trimmed apart a couple of the stamped images on the Cuddly Salutations Stamp Set. The dot-dot-dot was attached to another image, but I wanted to be able to use it freely without having to mask the stamped image each time I used it. So I snipped it apart. That’s the great thing about polymer stamp sets….{if you are very careful} you can snip the images apart making them more versatile.

This stamp was perfect for the CASology Cue Card Challenge.
