- Timid Tiger Cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"
- Basic White Cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4"

Fold the Timid Tiger cardstock in half at the scoreline to create your card base.
Adhere the 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card. Decorate as desired.
Adhere the Timid Tiger Floral Charm paper to the Pretty Peacock Floral Charm Paper, about 3/4" down from the top; adhere to the front of the card.
Stamp the sentiment onto the 3/4" x 3" piece of Basic White Cardstock using Basic Gray ink. Adhere to the card as shown in the sample.
Stamp the collar image onto the 2" x 4" piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock using Basic Gray ink. Stamp the heart image onto the scrap of Basic White cardstock using Basic Gray ink.
Run the stamped Lost Lagoon and stamped Basic White cardstock through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and die-cut using the appropriate Pet Love Dies. Tie the die-cut heart onto the collar using Baker's Twine and adhere the collar to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.
Run the scraps of Basic Gray and Timid Tiger through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and die-cut the mouse and fish scale (or bone and ball if preferred.) Adhere the die-cuts to the card as desired to finish.
Worker Bee (for the Confident Cardmaker)
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.
