Birthday Barks Card by Zsofia Molnar

Birthday Barks!

Today we are celebrating a birthday with a cute puppy card by Zsofia! This adorable card is perfect for sending a birthday greeting to a dog lover. 

This sweet card features the image of three dogs from our Birthday Barks Stamp Set. This trio of dogs are ready to celebrate a birthday and are so cute with their party hat, cake and noisemaker! She colored the dogs in neutral shades of brown and gray and then added pink and brown tones for the cake and birthday accessories. She cut the image out using the coordinating Birthday Barks Die Set. 

She also added fun bits of gloss to the image. Here is a close up so you can see all the amazing detail:

For her card, she used our Confetti Hot Foil Plate with sparkly gold foil to create a fun strip of sparkle up the card. She then cut the panel out using the zig zag edged frame from our Frames & Tags Die Set and added pink ink blending over the top of the panel. She then added the image of the dogs over the top, adhering it with some dimensional adhesive. She added the Happy Birthday message using our Birthday Greetings Hot Foil Plates and then cut the greeting out using our Speech Bubbles Die Set. She added this to the top of the tall dog image to complete the card. 

This amazing card is sure to make the recipient feel special on their birthday! We hope you enjoyed this fun card by Zsofia today! You can find more of Zsofia's creations and say hello to her over at her blog, Safsafdesign.

Bark for Another Birthday Card by Diane Morales

Bark for Another Birthday!

This card by Diane is perfect for sending a birthday wish to a person who loves dogs! 

To create this cute card she started by stamping and coloring the tall stack of dogs with birthday presents and balloons from our Birthday Barks Stamp Set. She cut the image out using the coordinating Birthday Barks Die Set.

Then, she chose to make a fun slimline card for this tall image. She used the large scallop edged rectangle from our Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set along with our Birthday Woofs Paper Pad to cut out the fun background of patterned papers. So fun! Next, she used the die with three round windows from the same Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set with white paper to create a shaker window frame, filling the shaker windows with pretty iridescent sequins. She used one of the circles that cuts out from the frame de to add the sentiment "Bark for another Birthday!" to the card center. 

This is such a fun way to use multiple paper designs on one project and would be a great way to use up paper scraps too!

Birthday Barks Bookmark by Amanda Wilcox

Birthday Bookmark!

Today we are featuring a a fun birthday themed bookmark by Amanda that is perfect for a dog lover!

To create this fun bookmark she used our Bookmark Die Set to cut out the fun bookmark shape. She added a stripe of fun foiled paw prints to the the bookmark using our Paw Prints Hot Foil Plate with silver foil! So fun! 

To decorate the bookmark she used the cute image of pups from the Birthday Barks Stamp Set. This image is sized to fit perfectly on the bookmark! She colored it in fun bright colors using copic markers and cut it out using the coordinating Birthday Barks Die Set to add it to her card. She also stamped the sentiment, "Bark for another Birthday" from the Birthday Barks Stamp Set, cutting it out using a banner shape from our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set and tucked it behind the top of the dog image. 

To add some special personalization to her bookmark, Amanda added the recipients name! She cut  out another bookmark using our Bookmark Die Set. Then she cut out the letters to spell the name using our Essential Alphabet Die Set and adhered them to the bookmark. To make this bookmark shorter she used one of the edge dies from our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set to add the decorative edge to the bookmark. Then she adhered the two bookmarks together with some ribbons! So fun!

We love how this turned out! What a great way to customize a project and make the recipient feel special!

Dog & Cat Birthday Shaker Cards Cards by Larissa Heskett

Shake Up Some Birthday Fun!

Today we are sharing a duo of run birthday shaker cards by Larissa. One for dog lovers, and one for the cat lovers! 

For both versions of this card she used our fun new birthday themed paper pads. On the dog card she chose the pattern with rows of dogs wearing birthday hats from our Birthday Woofs Paper Pad. Then she found a similar print with kitties wearing rows of birthday hats from our Birthday Meows Paper Pad. She cut each of the papers out to fit just inside the scalloped frame panel from our Frames & Flags Die Set. Then she made each card into a shaker by stitching an acetate window onto the front and filling it with sequins!

Here is the dog version:

Here is the cat version:

For the sentiments, she used messages from our Birthday Barks Stamp Set and Newton's Birthday Delights Stamp Set. She stamped each message onto a stack of circles that were die cut using our Circle Frames Die Set. 

Do you need a card for a dog lover? 

Or for a cat lover? 

Either way, these cards will definitely do the trick! 

We hope you enjoyed these fun projects by Larissa today! To say hello to Larissa and see more of her creations, you can visit her over at her blog, Larissa Heskett Designs.

Cat and Dog Hot Foiled Cards by Jennifer Jackson

Hip Hip Hooray! 

Hello! Jen here today and I'm sharing a couple more cards using our new Dog and Cat birthday themed products along with our new Hot Foil Products! 

The first card features those kitties from our new Newton's Birthday Delights Stamp Set. Isn't it cut how the kitty faces are peeking through the scoops of ice cream!? I colored the image using watercolors markers and cut it out using the coordinating Newton's Birthday Delights Die Set. 

For the card, I decided to add some sparkle so I used our new Confetti Hot Foil Plate and added the thick stripe of confetti to the background using gold hot foil and my hot foil machine on a piece of pink cardstock. I love how this looks! 

Next, I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from our Birthday Greetings Hot Foil Plates with teal foil onto a light teal cardstock. After it was foiled I used our Banner Duo Die Set to cut it out into a small rectangle shape. Then I layered everything together, framing the pink panel with a piece of darker pink cardstock for a bit more added color. 

For my second card, I used the fun stack of pups from our new Birthday Barks Stamp Set. These cute doggies make me smile with their stack of birthday fun! 

I colored this image using copic markers and then used the coordinating Birthday Barks Die Set to cut the image out. This time I added a bit of silver sparkle using our Paw Prints Hot Foil Plate with silver foil onto a blue paper. For the sentiment I again used the Happy Birthday sentiment from our Birthday Greetings Hot Foil Plates with teal foil. This time I used a lime green cardstock. After it was foiled I used our Banner Duo Die Set to cut it out into a small rectangle shape.I also added a bit of pattern up the side of the card, using a plaid print from the new Birthday Woofs Paper Pad.

Isn't fun how you can combine all of our new products together to make fun and sparkly birthday cards!? Don't forget to head over to our shop this weekend and get your new goodies on sale!
