Hi Everyone,
My sweet brother-in-law celebrated his birthday this past weekend. I thought I would share the card I made for him. It’s a simple little card using Paper Smooches stamps. I love the Chubby Chums stamp set and it crossed my mind that the dog would look *adorable* if he were carrying a “happy birthday” sign. There was always the possibility that he might look a little odd but I decided to give it a go anyway and I have to say I *LOVE* this look. A few more ideas are now pinging through my brain (love this phrase, thanks Bev)! In fact, I am going to make another card right now using the same dog (as I have prepared a few and they need to be used!).
Oh, and here’s the card…

Happy Birthday
Materials used: Stamps – Chubby Chums, Hullabaloo, Party Posse (Paper Smooches); Cardstock – American Crafts; Designer Paper – 6×6 Paper Pad – Surprise! (BoBunny); Sugardot Stickers – Everyday Vintage (Prima); Copic Markers and Distress Ink.
On the inside of the card, I attached a white panel and a border of matching patterned paper just to finish it off.
Edited to add: Just finished another card. Yay me! lol If you think the eye of the little pooch looks a little odd, this is because the glossy accents hasn’t quite dried (can someone say impatient? lol) and was wanting to droop while it was standing up during the photography session. It has settled down now that it is lying flat.
