One last dog

I found this card the other day and realized that I have not posted a picture of it. I could resist since I think this little guy is so cute!

Most of the things used to make this card have retired but you could use any designer paper and any shaped image to recreate this card.  It is a simple design and so quick.

I used my stampin blends to color him. If you use the smokey slate blends just on the edges it give the appearance of shadows so he looks white. (of at least that is what I was going for) Let me know if you think that it was successful? The greeting is from another set that retired but you could use any greeting that you have. If I was to make this card again I would white heat emboss the greeting to make it pop a little more. I think it gets lost on the grey color card stock.

The collar is a soft highland heather stampin blend. This color is so nice and soft!

 Thank you for visiting my site and I hope that you have a wonderful day! Enjoy!

You are the Best!

How simple and encouraging this is sentiment! (from the picked for you stamp set) Letting someone in your life know that they are the best version of themselves.  That is all we can ask for, if you ask me!  I also think that the pets in our lives are the best as well.  They are so comforting when we need consoling and no matter what we look like or how we feel they love us!  That is the best! 

Only a few days left to order the Bella and friends stamp set. I think it is one of my favorite stamp sets of all time. I love the sweet faces on the dogs! I keep this card pretty basic. I used some of my scraps from the neutral designer series paper pack. If you like these designs make sure to grab them now because they are changing the designs in the new catalog.  I added a little pop by adding a few sequins and a doily.

After I stamped the dog with my momento stamp pad I used the stampin blends to color in my little friend. Who wouldn't love to get a card with that little sweet guy on it.  Have a great day and be your BEST!  Enjoy!

Dog pile

Do you ever stamp a bunch of one of your favorite images and then just color? I do this all the time and I am sure that I have asked you this before. I love the adorable little dogs in the Bella and friends stamp set. The images are so cute and so fun to color. They make great cards for any occasion and for both males and females. Just recently I finished coloring  a few of the images and decided that I should make them into cards. I also had a bunch of scraps on my desk and so I decided to make dog cards with my scraps.  The first card is pretty simple. I used the stitched shape framelits to frame the dog, mounting it on a scrap of neutral designer paper, and mounted it all on early espresso cardstock. I had just the birthday part from the thinlit and so I used the happy from the sunshine wishes stamp set to complete the greeting.

For this card I had another scrap from the neutral designer paper with a circle punch out and then I realized after I cut the dog with the stitched shapes framelits that it fit perfect!  Don't you love when that happens!  I used the saying from the happy tails stamp set from the occasions catalog. If you do not have this set you need it!  The dog is adorable and the greetings are so cute. They also offer a punch that if you purchase the bundle you can receive 10% off. I white heat embossed the greeting on the basic gray card stock and cut apart to adhere seperatly. This card came together so quickly and I think is came out really cute!

Don't forget that there is less than 3 weeks to take advantage of the Free saleabration items. If you would like to order or have any questions please feel free to contact me.  Have a great day!
