Good evening! Today I'm sharing a special request card that I created for a friend of mine! She wanted a birthday card for her granddaughter's 2nd birthday, and asked if I had one with a hot dog on it, since that is her favorite thing ever right now. It was kind of specific, so I didn't happen to have one laying around, but I DID have a hot dog die from a release a while back from Simon Says Stamp that I hadn't used yet, so I dusted it off to make this special card!
I used the Frankly set to create the hot dog. Since it was for a 2 year old, I knew she wouldn't want all the condiments on it, so I did a bit of custom work on the base to trim it down with scissors so it wasn't so wide. This way it didn't leave all the room to hold the extras, but could just be a hot dog and bun, with some ketchup and mustard of course! I die cut all from white cardstock, and ink blended with Cookie, Gingerbread, Allspice, Honey, and Brick inks. I stamped the dots with Cocoa ink. I stamped and heat embossed the large sentiment, then die cut it, and paired it with a couple sentiments from Reverse Birthday Sentiment strips. I used Simple Stories Pink Lemonade pattern paper scraps to build a fun background, and a Chunky Scallop Rectangle over the top to layer, and added Glossy Accents to the ketchup and mustard before adding the sentiments over the top. Finished off with some coordinating Enamel dots! Here's more photos of the finished card:
