Hello friends!! Sheesh! It’s almost Christmas! How did it get here SO fast?! Today I am actually preparing for my own family dinner gathering, so I will be very busy with cooking and spending time with my family today. But I have scheduled a post to share with you using a darling Puppy Love digital stamp:
I thought this little pup was SO CUTE! I love the little shirt with the hearts on it! So, if you are moving past your Christmas creations now, here’s some inspiration to share with a Valentine/Love theme! 🙂
For the image, I’ve printed it out and added the sentiment from the digital set underneath him. I’ve used a scallop rectangle die to make an “Out of the Box” technique by cutting out the top of the heart balloon. I colored the image with Copics. I layered the image panel onto a piece of Chrome Silver Mirror Cardstock.
For the red layer behind that, I’ve taken a larger piece of white cardstock and added some 1/2″ Tear Tape around the edges. I then used a larger sized scalloped rectangle die to cut it out with. I peeled the release paper and added the Cherry Sparkle Flocking. I’ve also added this to the tiny hearts on the shirt as well as the Pink Spirit Flocking but using the Nuvo Precision Glue Pen for the adhesive. I’ve attached all of these layers onto a white A2 sized top folding card base.
Upon a closer look at the image, you can see where I’ve added the flocking on the hearts in his shirt as well as the flocking at the top over the scallop rectangle panel.
For the balloons, I have covered them with some Nuvo Crystal Drops Morning Dew. It dries clear, but while it was still wet, I’ve sprinkled on some Ultrafine Waterscape Glitter very carefully and lightly and let it dry. I think it adds a bit more sparkle to the shiny balloons! After it dried, I used some silver ribbon to make bows and then attached them with some glue. I also decided to add some more of the Crystal Drops on his nose!
I love how this turned out with the flocking and glittery shine! Hope you’ve enjoyed my card too!! I thank you so much for stopping in today and I wanted to take the time here to wish you all a VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!!! See you soon!

Vicki, you started your Valentine collection with a marvelous card! There are many wonderful embellishments on it and I love the adorable doggie in its fantastic shirt with flocking on the hearts. The balloons are striking with the glitter and Nuvo drops, and I love the effects of the gorgeous chrome silver mirror CS. The white CS panel shows in the mirror. The panel that you added the red flocking to is fantastic. I’ve never used flocking before but your card inspires me to do so. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and thank you for being so kind to me! I greatly appreciate it. Big Hugs!
