We have so many fluffy puppies in our family that when I saw the JessicaLynnOriginal Shih Tzu Stamp Set<\/a><\/span>, I knew it was a “must have” for me (note she also has an slew of other AKC breed sets that are on my “wish list” like the “West Highland White Terrier”<\/a><\/span> and the “Yorkie Yorkshire Terrier” sets<\/a><\/span>). In our extended family, we have three Havanese, an Affenpinscher, a Havapoo, and two Mini Poodles.<\/p>\n

<\/a>For this card, I decided to combine three of the images from the\u00a0 \u00a0with the dies from the Diemond Dies Sending Love Die Set<\/a><\/span> that I designed (FYI: a part of the proceeds of every die I designed is donated to no kill animal shelters). The three stamp dies from the die set were the perfect size to frame the three pups I Copic colored and fussy cut.<\/p>\n

I used the following Copics to color up these pups like my Havanese, Bandito; my brother’s Havapoo, Cookie; and my aunt and uncle’s Affenpinscher, Naco:
\nSpotted Havanese: W0, W1, E11, E23, E25, R24 and R27
\nWhite Havapoo: W0, W1, W3 and R22 and R24
\nBlack Affenpincher: W1, W3, W5 and W7
\nI also used my favorite Fiskars Spring Loaded Scissors<\/a><\/span> to fussy cut all the pups so that just their heads would be popping out of the stamp frames and for the spotted Havanese and the Affenpinscher I shortened their ears from the original stamp images.<\/p>\n

I used a pale blue card stock for the card base, and die cut the stamp frames from white card stock that I popped up with foam tape. I also lined the areas of the windows with some peach and coral patterned floral patterned paper from the 6 x 6 Crafts Sensations Pastels & Whites paper pack. For the sentiment, I die cut the “sending love” sentiment from the same card stock that I used for the card base three times. Stacking and gluing the die cut sentiments gave them a bit of dimension and made them feel substantial. I offset them in the lower, middle and right parts of the card front, lining up the “g” and “l” for what I thought was a nice, swooshy look (that’s a technical term – LOL). Lastly, I added a handful of clear silver sequins in three sizes for a bit of sparkle.<\/p>\n

The inside of the card, I used one of the stamp dies to create a couple of heart embellishments with the same peach and coral floral patterned paper and some darker coral card stock. For one of the hearts, I also used the surrounding stamp die to create a stamp embellishment. The inside sentiment is a wooden stamp from My Sentiments Exactly that I picked up on clearance last week at Hobby Lobby. It says “Love begins with a wet nose and ends with a tail!” Unfortunately, since I moved my stamp when I was re-stamping for a darker impression, I had to cover the smear by re-stamping it on a separate piece of card stock and die cutting it out with a Kat Scrappiness Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangles Die<\/a><\/span> that more or less fit the sentiment. Whew – card salvaged!<\/p>\n
