Before we jump into today's project, I wanted to let you know that I sometimes use affiliate links to share my favorite products. Don't worry, these links won't cost you a dime – they're just little crafty helpers behind the scenes that help support me if you use them to make a purchase! Let's dive into today's creative journey together! Hello, friends! Today, I am sharing my last project using the December 2024 release, and this card just might be my favorite! For this card, I am featuring the You Hold My Heart In Your Paw Stamp Set, the Dogs/Cats Know Good People Stamp Set, and the Rectangular Seamless Stamp: Feed Me Set! These stamps come together perfectly to create this sweet card! Let's get into the details for how this card came together! Below is a list of Picket Fence Studios Products used to create this card: You Hold My Heart In Your Paw Stamp SetDogs/Cats Know Good People Stamp SetRectangular Seamless Stamp: Feed Me SetOpaque Copper Paper SplatterPick Me Sequin Mix First, I stamped out the dog image from the You Hold My Heart In Your Paw stamp set in black ink and colored the image up with Copic Markers. I fussy cut the image out and set it aside. Next, I grabbed an A2-piece of orange cardstock and distressed the edges with Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink. I then put the Rectangular Seamless Stamp: Feed Me Set in my MISTI, and repeatedly stamped out the pattern in Crackling Campfire Distress Ink. I set the panel aside. I then cut both a piece of kraft cardstock and a piece of light orange cardstock into 3.75" x 5". For the kraft cardstock, I distressed the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Using the same Vintage Photo Distress Ink, I stamped out the small paw print with a heart stamp multiple times on the panel. When done, I splattered the panel with Opaque Copper Paper Splatter Watercolor and let it dry. For my sentiment, I wanted to customize the "my   was right about you" stamp from the Dog/Cats Know Good People set, and customize it by inserting the "dog" stamp in the blank space the sentiment provides. I stamped out the sentiments in watermark ink on brown paper, and then heat embossed the sentiments with white powder. I fussy cut the sentiment out and set it aside. For assembly of my card, I adhered my orange Feed Me background onto an A2-size card base. I then took the light orange 3.75" x 5" panel and adhered it slightly offset behind my paw print panel of the same size. I adhered this unit to my card. I then adhered my dog image and trimmed off the excess of the image that hung off the left portion of my card. Using foam tape, I adhered my sentiment to my project. I finished off the card by adhering a few of the embellishments from the Pick Me Sequin Mix. My card was complete!

Life Is Better With A Friend

by Brenda Noelke on Dec 16 2024
Hello, crafty friends and happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! Brenda here today sharing a card featuring the adorable pup in the You Hold My Heart In Your Paw Stamp Set from Saturday's December release!! I began by stamping the pup from the You Hold My Heart In Your Paw Stamp Set onto white cardstock with Momento Espresso Truffle ink. I colored it with Copic markers, then fussy cut it out. I used a white gel pen to brighten the white highlights on the eyes and nose. For the background, I stenciled the Fetch Stencil Set onto a panel of white cardstock. Cream Puff Paper Glaze Glass from the Felines Sampler was applied through the bones layer and Chocolate Frosting Paper Glaze Luxe from the Canines Sampler was used with the paw print stencil. Once dry, the panel was die-cut with the third largest deckle edge die in the Beyond Basics: A2 Vintage Rectangle and Cover Plate Die Set. A panel of burnt orange cardstock was die-cut with the largest die in the Beyond Basics: A2 Rectangle and Cover Plate Die Set. I used the largest rectangle die in the Beyond Basics: A2 Stamp Cover Plate with Postmarks Dies to cut the bottom layer from brown cardstock. All the layers were layered and adhered together using liquid glue. The pup was also adhered with liquid glue, letting the ear hang off the top of the card. The sentiment, from the Life Is Better With A Furry Friend Stamp Set, was stamped onto white cardstock with yellow and orange dye ink. It was die-cut with the second largest oval die in the Basic Die Cutting Die Set 1 and popped up with foam tape. A trio of hearts from the Pick Me Sequin Mix finishes off the card. That does it for me today!! Be sure to check out the rest of the December release in the shop!! Have a great week!! Brenda
