Pop-Up Pet Sympathy Card

Good morning friends

It's Saturday and that means a new challenge at the Crazy4Challenges Blog. It's also a new month! Our October Hostess is Kathleen Adams, and our Guest Designer is Joseph Nguyen. You will enjoy seeing Joseph's creations this month!

Here is Kathleen's challenge for this week:  "Today is World Card Making Day! So make a card! It can be any shape and any theme you want to make."

Of course I made a Pop-Up card using dies by Karen Burniston, but unfortunately not a happy card to have to make.


Friends of ours said goodbye to their sweet furry boy, and I wanted to let them know we were thinking of them. Elvis was such a good dog, and one of the few dogs that our Mr. Cooper liked to hang out with. I used a journal card for the card front, penning the sentiment with a black marker then going over the lines with a brown marker.

Inside, I used the House Pivot Panel die, turned upside down with hearts die cut from the centre of three panels.


I had the patterned paper and dog stickers in my stash, and pulled out the (retired) Pet Accessory dies for some elements too. Because Elvis was black with a white chest, I also used the cute dog from the Cat and Dog die set, cutting it from black and white card stock.



I backed the centre heart opening with red card stock, and added die cut hearts above and below the other heart openings.







Below is a 'front and inside' shot for those that like them for their Pinterest boards.
