Belated Birthday Card by Larissa Heskett

Late Birthday Wishes

Are you late for a birthday? Today we have a card by Larissa that is perfect for sending a belated birthday wish! 

This card features two favorite birthday stamp sets: Dog Birthday Party  and Birthday Postage Sampler. 

For the images on her card she used the cute pups with birthday gifts and cupcakes from the Dog Birthday Party Stamp Set. She also stamped the balloons and gift image from the Birthday Postage Sampler Stamp Set. She colored all the images using alcohol markers and added cute little pink cheeks and white dot details using a white gel pen. She cut the images out using their coordinating dies. 

For the card she cut out the postage edged background panel using the Framework Die Set. Then she chose a piece paper filled with little rows of gifts from our Birthday Time Paper Pad. She cut this out using the large stitched rectangle from the Basic Frames Die Set. These die cuts are sized to fit perfectly to layer together. 

Then she die cut the postage stamps using our Postage Stamp Layout Die Set. This die creates a whole panel of stamps and she used a scissor to cut them into individual stamps. She added the stamp prices and the word "party" from the Birthday Postage Sampler Stamp Set onto the stamp centers. 

She added the sentiment "missed your birthday" from the Heartfelt Woofs Stamp Set onto the pattered paper panel and added some black paint splatters over the top. 

Last, she assembled all the pieces together onto her card. She used a bit of dimensional adhesive on the small stamps and puppies. 

What a fun combination of birthday themed products! This cards would be paw-some to give to a dog lover for their birthday!

You're Paw-some Card by Samantha Mann

BUTT really... 

Today's paw-some corgi card by Samantha is sure to make you giggle! 

This hilarious card features the cute corgis with their butts facing us from our Corgi Beach Stamp Set. She stamped and colored three of them, giving them cute pink cheeks and adding accents with a white gel pen. She cut the corgis out using the coordinating Corgi Beach Die Set. 

These fun corgis go perfectly with the custom sentiment she created. She inked up a gorgeous green background using distress inks. Then she used our Essential Alphabet Die Set to cut letters out of the background to spell "BUTT REALLY" and added black cardstock behind the cut outs to make them pop. Then she added the sentiment "you're paw-some" from our Heartfelt Woofs Stamp Set underneath the big words to complete the funny message. She embossed the sentiment in white onto a black banner that was die cut using our Banner Trio Die Set. This fun banner has fold lines that allow you to pop the banner up for some extra fun and dimension too. 

To finish out her adorable card, she stamped a few dog themed elements from our Welcome New Dog Stamp Set to add to the fun puppy theme. She used the leash, dog dish, bone and tennis ball and colored them all using fun bright colors. Then she used the Welcome New Dog Die Set to cut them out and added everything to her card front. 

We know that the recipient of this card will definitely crack a smile when they receive it!
