Colourful Pop Up Dog Card


Hello my crafty friends. Three months ago we adopted a sweet rescue dog who is quite a picky eater. Considering she started her life on the streets in Thailand, this came as a surprise and a hurdle. She was underweight not because the foster family wasn't feeding her enough - it was because she is just not that interested in eating. Go figure!  My friend Debbie has given me some great tips though, and Willow eats most of her food by the end of the day. 

I wanted to send Debbie a thank you card, so pulled out the new Label Charm Pop Up by Karen Burniston and my new Grace & Lucy Puppy stamps from Picket Fence Studio's. This is the card I came up with, turning the orientation of the Label Charm to be a top fold card and adding a large circle with a hand made tab instead of the second label as it's designed. I have those details in my YouTube video:  


Below is what the card looks like opened ...


... and a side view. I stencilled the paw prints using a YNS stencil and blending brushes, but had a few issues with the stencil moving around. Should have taken the time to tape it in place, but in the end I was ok with the random look of the colourful paw prints & hearts.


The large ink blended circle is where I wrote my personal message then sent this card on it's way.
