Happy Saturday, peeps! My card today is a little out of my norm, but I needed a card quickly and just sort of threw this together! A sweet church friend is a dog lover....I mean a REAL dog lover, and her birthday is coming up. The challenge at JUGS is to use stencils, and the Seize the Birthday challenge is to use red as the main color:
I pulled out the retired Happy Tails and its matching punch, some star stencils I received as a gift, and here is my quick card:
I remember experimenting with red inks on red cardstocks but I forget what I ended up thinking was the best color...this was Cherry Cobbler, and I don't really like the muddy effect it created, but I needed to get this in the mail, so I'll have to experiment again! Anyway, I stamped my pup on Crumb Cake and punched him out:
The sentiment on the front of the card is a from Lawn Fawn's Upon a Star:
and on the inside, the sentiment is from Spellbinders, along with some paw prints from Happy Tails:
I hope she likes it! And just to show you how special my friend is, she volunteers for an organization called Canine Partners for Life. They train service dogs for people with disabilities and are seizure-prone, and besides the regular trainers, they use people like Sue who raise and foster puppies to be service dogs. They also use prisoners who train them as well. It's a pretty cool setup! She brings her dogs to church and sometimes we can hear them as they are napping and dreaming, LOL! Check it out at their website!
Thanks so much for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

It may have been a quick card but you put a lot of thought into it to make it special for your friend, LeAnne. That dog is adorable and I love the stars with the sentiment. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
ReplyDeleteCute as can be!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the perfect card for that dog loving friend! The paw prints on the inside are cute!
