Fun Handmade Card for Dog Moms

How cute is this handmade card for Dog Moms? It’s the little touches on this card that make all the difference – the stitched die cuts, the pop of red in his collar, and that fabulous plaid Designer Paper!

How cute is this card? If you have are a dog lover, this card will warm your heart.

It came together quickly thanks to the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Rectangle Stitched Dies, but if you don’t have those, it’s easy to just cut the cardstock as normal. I pulled the color combination straight out of the Well Suited Designer Paper and I think it fit this card really well!

Below you’ll find the Tutorial (including one you can download) on how this card was made:

2. Cut a piece of 4” x 5-1/4” Basic White Cardstock and adhere to inside of card base.
3. Using a half-sheet of Smoky Slate cardstock, run it through the Cut & Emboss Machine and using the Stitched Rectangle dies, cut out a 3-3/4” x 5-1/8” stitched rectangle and a 1” x 2-1/2” stitched rectangle.
4. Using the Basic Gray ink pad, stamp the dog dish randomly on the large Smoky Slate rectangle and adhere to front of base card. Stamp the sentiment on the smaller stitched rectangle and set aside.
