Heart Shaped Puppy Card by Samantha Mann

Heart Shaped Puppy Card! 

Today we are sharing an adorable heart shaped card  by Samantha that is filled with puppies!

Have you ever created a shaped card? Adding a shape gives your card an unexpected custom touch that is sure to surprise and delight the recipient! For this fun heart shaped card Samantha used our Heart Frames Die Set to create the shape. She added ink to the die cut heart and some paw prints using our Petite Paw Prints Stencil. For the fun white frames she used our A2 Card Layout 2 Die Set, cutting it once in white and then again with the heart so that it all aligned perfectly. 

Once the heart layout was complete she added in the puppies. She used our Puppy Friends Stamp Set to stamp these adorable puppy images and then colored them using alcohol markers. She added fun texture to the doggies fur to represent a multicolored fur on an Australian Shepherd dog. So adorable! The images were cut out using the coordinating Puppy Friends Die Set. 

She added the pups to her card along with the sentiment "You make Ruff Days Better" embossed in white. She added a tiny heart, also using our  Heart Frames Die Set with paw prints added using our  Petite Paw Prints Stencil. This adds the perfect pop of color! 

Here is a closer look at this beautiful card: 

So amazing! We hope that Samantha has inspired you to create a shaped card!

You Arff the Best Card by Amanda Wilcox

You ARFF the Best!

Today we are sharing another fun dog themed card by Amanda.

Today she features those cute pups from our Puppy Friends Stamp Set. She stamped and colored the three dogs from the set and cut them out using the coordinating Puppy Friends Die Set. She also added gloss the the puppies noses for a fun finishing touch. 

For her card, she started with a white card base. She then cut out a fun postage edged rectangle from kraft colored paper using our Framework Die Set. She stenciled onto this fun panel using our Petite Paws Stencil with white texture paste. 

Next, she cut out a bright teal frame using our new Frames & Tags Die Set.  This frame has three windows and they perfectly separats all the cute puppies on her layout.  In the bottom window she also adds the "You ARFF the Best", stamped onto the small tag that was also cut using the new Frames & Tags Die Set. 

This fun puppy themed card would be perfect for sending a thank you or happy hello to a dog lover!
