We have friends that own two Westies and I usually make them a dog themed holiday card. This year I chose one of the sweet images from the 'Little Book of Muddy Paws' pad (from Hunkydory) for their card. There are also a couple of pages with accessories so I fussy cut a scarf and bone to add onto the panel.
For the bone, I cut a small slit in between the front paws and tucked the bone inside. Then I adhered the panel to a green cardstock panel. The row of snowflakes is a piece from Karen Burniston's Long Nature Rectangles 2 and cut from white pearl cardstock.
This card is a top folding 5 x 7", which would have meant I needed a 5 x 14" length of cardstock to create the green card base. Which obviously, I don't have. An easy workaround, is to add a tab to one end of either the front or the back of the cardstock.
Here I added it to the top edge of thebottom panel, so that measured 5 x 7.5". The extra 1/2 inch created the tab which allowed me to adhere it to the underside top edge of the 5 x 7" front panel. Then I just scored the front panel in the centre at 3.5" to create the easel fold.
I added both punched and die cut snowflakes, and the bumper (the part that keeps the card from collapsing) was decorated with Karen Burniston's Merry Christmas and shadow. The Shadow was cut from holographic mirror card stock for holiday shimmer & shine. It was popped up with foam tape. Inside I added a blanket stitched square with inked edges, a stamped sentiment and more snowflakes. That is where we will sign our name and I think they will get a kick out of the sentiment inside.
