Banner Dog Birthday Card


Using several dies by Karen Burniston, I created this birthday card for a friend. It fits perfectly in a standard A2 envelope and will mail for a single stamp. The Banners Crosshatch dies have alternating crosshatch and straight edges, and the cute dog is from the Doghouse Tiny House Add On. 


I made the dog a little more festive with a party hat and balloons from the Birthday Charms set. I chose soft colours and subtle prints for the card, which actually carries a punch inside! 


Back in November I had purchased several new Funny Bones stamps from Riley & Company and this is one of them. I thought it would be cute to have as a fun surprise inside a card. I used a 1 x 4" strip of white cardstock, scored at 1/2" as a hinge to connect the front and back banners.



I am going to include a running tally on how many cards I make this year, not counting the ones I don't share on my blog.  I donate 25 Birthday Cards each month to my Mom's old nursing home and don't often take photos or post the majority of those. A couple of times recently, I was asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since a lot of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. 
2023 Tally: 17 cards
