The new Simon Says Stamp’s Always There Release is filled with sweet details and so much cuteness! Today I’m sharing four cards — three adorable wedding cards featuring Pawfect Together and one bonus baby card featuring Fable Sitting Bear. The Pawfect Together stamp set, with coordinating dies available separately, is packed with charming canine images and all the fun wedding-themed accessories needed to create the cutest celebratory scenes. I kept everything soft and romantic with a peachy pastel palette and lots of layered details, texture, sparkle, and dimension.

All of the images from Pawfect Together were stamped with black Memento Ink — a perfect choice for Copic colouring since it won’t bleed. The dogs were coloured using three different combinations:
• E55, E53, E51
• E55, E57, E30
• C0, C3
The top hats and bow ties were coloured with 110 and BV17. For the soft peach accessories, I used YR0000, YR000, YR00, and YR01. Additional details like the cake plate and arch frame were coloured with Y28, while the greenery was finished with G000.
Pawfect Together Floral Ring Card
For the first wedding card, I created the background using light coral cardstock stamped with the new Mod Composite background stamp in Positively Saturated Peachy Ink and adhered it to an A2 card base. The gold hanging ring from the Hanging Leaf Ring Die die set was cut from gold foil cardstock and sheet foam, then stacked together for dimension.
The flowers and leaves included in the die set were cut from coral, ivory, and mint cardstock. The ring was adhered toward the lower portion of the card, with the balloon bunch popped up above it using foam squares. The sentiment from Pawfect Together was stamped in the upper area of the ring. The ring was decorated with florals and the adorable wedding couple tucked into the arrangement.
To finish the design, I added a tiny ribbon beneath the ring hanger, gold Prills to the flower centres, and touches of gold glitter to the balloons for a little extra sparkle.
Pawfect Together Wedding Arch Card
For the second card, gold glitter cardstock was adhered to an A2 card base. An ivory arch and sheet foam layer were cut using one of the dies from the Nested Domed Arches die set. The new Willowweave plate was die cut from fresh green cardstock and layered between the ivory arch and foam before being adhered to the glitter background.
The sweet wedding scene featuring the pups, cake, and arch from Pawfect Together was arranged with foam squares for added depth. The sentiment was stamped onto coral cardstock and adhered just below the pups to complete the design.
Pawfect Together Dancing Card
This final wedding card features the cutest dancing scene! White cardstock was embossed using the new Crystal Stars embossing folder and adhered to an A2 card base. The dancing couple, media centre and sentiment from Pawfect Together were popped up with foam squares for dimension.
To finish the card, I added several tiny stars die cut from silver glitter cardstock, stacked with foam for extra shine and detail.
Baby News Heart Card
For the bonus baby card, I created a shaped heart card using two dies from the Basic Hearts die set. The larger heart die was placed slightly over the fold of soft pink cardstock to create the hinged card base. The same die was then used again to cut an additional heart for the front of the card.
The smaller heart die was used to cut white cardstock, which was softly stencilled with the Willowweave stencil using Positively Saturated Bubblegum Ink. The sentiments are from the Oh Baby and Darling Baby sets. The die cut “baby” sentiment was from the same soft pink cardstock and stacked on a foam die cut for dimension, with the word “news” stamped beside it.
The adorable Fable Sitting Bear was die cut from medium brown cardstock with soft pink accents added to the ears, nose, and paws. The coordinating outline die was also used to cut sheet foam so the bear could be popped up beneath the sentiment.
FINALLY THOUGHTS
I absolutely loved putting these cards together! The Always There Release combines sweet imagery with beautiful backgrounds and dies, making it so easy to create cards filled with warmth and charm. Whether you’re creating wedding cards, baby cards, or simply celebrating special moments, this release is packed with inspiration.
