Good morning! This weekend I realized I need a couple of birthday cards for my adorable twin nephews, so I pulled out a mix of older and newer supplies from Simon Says Stamp, and made these cute puppy theme cards! I was so happy with how they turned out!
For these cards, I wanted to use the adorable new Round of Appaws set, but create birthday cards. So I pulled out a couple older birthday sentiment sets - Big Old Birthday and Best Year Yet. I started off by stamping and building my sentiments, using Artichoke ink for the large main sentiment, then stamping the additional ones in black. Next, I stamped the 3 puppies twice each, and several of the paw prints, and die cut with the coordinating dies. I grabbed the balloon from Best Year Yet, and stamped it in a placement directly next to the sentiments so I could pop the one puppy over it so it would look like it was holding the balloons. I paper pieced the balloons with Sage cardstock, then covered them with Glossy Accents to make them a little more realistic and shiny! I added some simple grounding with my gray Copic markers, and a touch of pink to each of the puppies cheeks, and then mounted them all with foam adhesive. Finally, tucked a few of the paw prints on each card, and mounted those panels on Sage cardbases to finish! Here is a closer look at each of these cards:
