Creating a special card for a special dog lover is sometimes hard to make, especially when they lose their friend. My family are animal lovers and have felt the pain of losing a pet that has won your heart. Often at a loss for words, I find I can express myself when I create a special card for my friends.
I find the products in the Playful Pets Suite (#154136) perfect for a variety of cat & dog cards. My granddaughter loves the “weenie dog”. She says it is just like her dog Raven and she loves Raven!
The images in the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper (#152489) contains a variety of species of dogs, cats and images that coordinate. The coordinating dies will cut out some of the images from the paper as well as the stamps. We all love to save on our paper crafting supplies….You not only save 10% on the bundle (stamps & dies) but during October you can also save 15% on the Pampered Pets Designer Series Paper! Take a peek at all the papers on sale through 10/31/2020 here.
I’m using all but the trim and trinkets in my card for my friend. Cut the sheet of paws into strips creating an edge for the Real Red mat. I ran the edges of these strips along my Memento Ink Pad to create black edges. I then colored the pup with my light and dark Smokey Slate Stampin’ Blends. Don’t you just love those paw print cut outs? I love using these as cut outs and as a stencil along a card edge.
What could make a card for a special dog lover more special?
Put the rear end of the pup on the inside of the card!
I stamped and cut out this image also. I then put on the inside of the front of the card. Did you notice it is partially cut off? I intentionally did this to make it look like it is peeking to the front.
