Top Dog Dies - Hello

Hey there, Top Dog Dies fans!

I'm up on the Top Dog Dies blog today with a lovely "hello!"

I layered up some pretty stuff using the...

Top Dog Dies Hello Die Set

and the...

Top Dog Dies Gift Tag Die Set

The stitched tag is FABULOUS and frames up the new hello die perfectly!

Both the Top Dog Dies Hello Die Set and the Top Dog Dies Gift Tag Die Set are must-have dies for a card-maker's stash!

Top Dog Dies - New Signature Dies

Hey there, Top Dog Dies fans!

Today, I'm sharing a couple of the new Top Dog Dies Signature Dies..they make glorious card fronts!

Here are the dies I used on the first card...

Top Dog Dies Signature Chelsea Die

Top Dog Dies Isabella Fan Die

I trimmed about a half of an inch of the top portion of the die cut to allow a peek-a-boo effect of the paper layer underneath.

The sweet scallops all around three sides of this die give it such a sweetness!

Here are the Top Dog Dies I used on this card...

Batty For You - Top Dog Dies

Hey there, Top Dog Dies fans!

I'm having a ball creating Halloween cards using some fun Top Dog Dies!

I used these two dies on my Halloween card today...

Top Dog Dies Halloween Trio Die Set

Top Dog Dies Vintage Frame Die

The bat from the Top Dog Dies Halloween Trio Die Set is so fun to work with...it is the perfect size to be featured as stand alone or clustered together, too!  I adhered the bats with foam adhesive over a few layers of Authentique Spirited papers and that awesome Top Dog Dies Vintage Frame Die!  Did you notice their sparkly Pretty Pink Posh sequined eyes and the thread "webs" they are flying through?!  The stamped bats and sentiment are from a fantastic Reverse Confetti stamp set called Spooky Sentiments.

Hey there, Top Dog Dies friends!

How fun are these new dies?!  If you are a dog lover, then you've hit the jackpot with this set from the new August release at Top Dog Dies!

Top Dog Dies Dog Days #2 Die Set

I couldn't use just one or two of the darling dogs...I needed a whole kit ' n caboodle!

The scene I created using some gorgeous Glitz Carpe Diem collection and The Twinery Baker's Twine reminds me of a city dog walker with all of the ritzy pooches walking side by side!
