Easy Puppy Card Using The Stitched Stockings Bundle
Create a playful all-occasion card by using the Stitched Stocking Bundle dies in a completely unexpected way. Simple shapes, patterned paper, and googly eyes come together to make three adorable puppies.
Supplies Needed
- Pecan Pie Cardstock: 5-1/2' X 8-1/2" (Scored at 4-1/4")
- Very Vanilla Cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4" (Optional - for inside card)
- Everyday Essentials Paper: 4" x 4" (Dog Pattern 2)
- Everyday Essentials Paper: 2" x 6" (Dog Pattern 1)
- Everyday Essentials Paper: 2" x 6" (Dog Pattern 2)
- Everyday Essentials Paper: 2" x 6" (Dog Pattern 3)
- Basic Gray Cardstock: 5" x 5" (for die-cutting)
- Basic Black Cardstock: scrap (about 1" square for dog nose)
Instructions
- Fold the Pecan Pie cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base.
- Adhere the Very Vanilla cardstock inside the card and decorate as desired.
- Using the Basic Gray Cardstock, die-cut three of the 1-7/8" squares using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the three squares onto the 4" x 4" Everyday Essentials paper. Using the Pecan Pie Ink Pad, stamp the Framed Violet's sentiment on to the "open square" at an angle as shown in the sample.
- Adhere the 4" x 4" piece onto the front of the card as shown on the sample.
- Using the three 2" x 6" pieces of Everyday Essentials paper, die-cut one of the long label dies and 1 of the square dies that creates 4 triangles.
- For one of the Everyday Essentials paper patterns, cut one end of the label die to 1-1/2" and adhere to one of the Basic Gray die-cut squares to create the face. Adhere 2 of the rectangle pieces to create the ears. Using a 1/4" hole punch, punch a circle from the Basic Black cardstock and add as a nose as shown in the sample. Add 2 wiggle eyes to finish. (Each paper pattern creates enough for 2 dog faces; set the remaining pieces aside to use on another card.)
- Repeat this process for the 2 other Everyday Essentials paper patterns so that you have a dog on each of the 3 Basic Gray Squares to finish.
Notes
Worker Bee (for Confident Cardmakers)
Worker Bee projects are designed for the crafter who has a bit more time and enjoys creating a handmade card that features a technique or tool. In many cases, a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is required for die-cutting and/or embossing.
