A quick Card

 This card was quite quick to make once I'd stamped, coloured and fussy cut the dog. Searching for something recently I came across my set of Crazy Dog and Cat stamps which I've had for many years.  They'd not seen ink for such a long time so I stamped a few of them and had a nice quiet afternoon colouring and fussy cutting.  Once they were done I had to think of how I could use them and my first idea was to use a die cut background with just a single dog and a sentiment.  I then remembered that a kind friend had included some die cut bones as an extra with some others she sent,  so one of these was coloured and used as well.  I could make other very similar cards using the rest of my dogs and cats but I really don't like making more than one card the same so my brain is ticking over now working out what else I can use to make something different.  My die cut background was backed with a snippet of patterned paper and the sentiment was one which I produced on the computer.


Background die - maker unknown, sorry
Dog - from Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs
Bone - die cut using a Gummiapan die (courtesy of a friend)
Sentiment - produced in Word

  1. This is a really good background.. Well done for using your dog and let's see what you do next! I rarely make two cards the same, it's amazing we never run out of ideas.

  7. A lovely card and a great use of the bone. I'm the same - don't really like making the same thing twice.
