Introducing Big Hugs...

Welcome to the first Group Post for the December PTI Release.  Today's stamp set and dies are SO adorable!  If you know me....you know I am a hugger.  So this Big Hugs set just makes me smile!  I have a couple of different cards to share today and I hope you like them!

This first one is a CAS card using a stamp and a die.

I stamped the sentiment in black ink onto the Soft Stone card base.  Next, I cut the die out of Stampers Select White after using a blending tool and some Berry Sorbet ink to make a little ombre effect.  I attached the die cut on the card with some foam tape for dimension.

This next card uses just stamps.  I stamped the big "hugs" in Versamark and then heat embossing with gold embossing powder....

Next I stamped "sending" in black ink.  I added in a white panel with black striped stamped to cover most of the cardstock.  I left a little white showing at the top and then added in a little strip of gold card stock to finish it off.

Lots of possibilities with this new set!  Check out the biggest "hugs" die in the full set when you see it!  SO cute!!  OK all the dies are cute but the big one is my favorite.  It has a little flower detail in each letter and is just so pretty.

The rest of the DT have cards for you to see too....
