Puppy Sympathy

 

SC1108 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I pulled out my Hunkydory images and chose this adorable pup for the focal point. I trimmed the pawprint papers, added a yellow cardstock layer to give the panels a bright highlight, and built the layout around the image.

The card is finished with the sentiment popped up on dimensionals and a touch of black Nuvo Drops on the corners of the image for a clean, balanced accent.

This will be another of my pet donation cards.

SC1091 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For today’s card, I pulled out a playful patterned paper from Whimsy Stamps. It’s one of my favorites, and I decided it was time to finally put it to use.  

Using the day’s sketch as inspiration, I created another pet donation card and incorporated a few dog bone accents to fit the theme.  

To add dimension, I popped up both the bones and the “Welcome” sentiment with foam adhesives. For the finishing touch, I added sequins that echo the colors in the patterned paper, tying the whole design together with a cheerful sparkle.

MMTPT906 - White Paws & Gentle Breezes

For today’s card, I chose an adorable dog image that was gifted to me by Denise (Card Crazy). She knows how much I enjoy using dog designs for my donation cards, and this one was perfect.  

I stamped the image and brought it to life with Copics, adding depth and warmth through the coloring. Beneath the design, I stamped a simple “Thinking of You” sentiment to complete the focal point.  

To frame the panel, I added a bright green mat that makes the colors pop. For extra texture and charm, I layered two different paw‑print patterned papers, each accented with the same green framing, to tie the whole design together.
