It’s a Dog’s Life

Calling all of my dog lovers! Stampin’ Up! offers some fun products to celebrate our furry friends! I recently hosted an in-person class It was called It’s a Dog’s Life. We made three cards using a variety of products. Today, I’m sharing these cards with you.

One of these great products is the Doggone Friendly background stamp. It features the faces of a variety of dog breeds.

For the card at the top, I paired the Doggone Friendly stamp with a sentiment from Quiet Reflections to create a pet sympathy card. Here are a few quick details about the featured card:

Copper Clay card base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
Copper Clay panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4
Two pieces of DSP from Take to the Sky measuring 5 1/4 x 1
Basic White panel measuring 5 1/4 x 2 1/2
Stamped both dogs and sentiment with Copper Clay

To create the card above, I stamped the Doggone Friendly background stamp with Night of Navy ink on white card stock and used the 2 3/8 inch circle punch to capture the dog faces. I layered the circle on a Night of Navy die circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. The sentiment comes from the Layering Leaves stamp set and is stamped with Melon Mambo. Additional products include the Fun Patterns Embossing Folder, Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper, Glossy Dots Assortment (Melon Mambo), Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blends, and white Baker’s Twine.

Here’s another fun card using some other Stampin’ Up! product including the Country Birdhouse Dies, Pets & More Stamp Set, and By Your Side all-inclusive kit. This card design was inspired by Mary Bush; I just love the idea of using the bird house for a dog house!
