Don’t you just love that Scottie Dog … heck with Christmas, he is an all occasion pup!! The banners or flags as some people call them, create so much fun on a card, they’re just happy.

Here are the measurements for today’s card …

  • Layer #1: Parakeet Party: 4” x 5-1/4”

Simply Sunday: Christmas Scottie Card

Posted in Christmas, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Yesterday I announced my newest Stamp Class … Christmas Scottie. The Scottie is so adorable and I just LOVE punches because they make your cardmaking a touch quicker! I teamed up the Christmas Scottie with a quick and easy technique I shared at my Halloween Class … The magic of markers to dress up a plain black and white piece of designer paper.

Join me now as I share how easy this Christmas cutie is to make ….

I began with a Basic Black base and a piece of 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Real Red which will mat our designer paper which measures 3-3/4″ x 5″. Before you adhere your designer paper to the mat, you will be coloring it with your markers; I used Real Red and Garden Green. The designer paper is the Rustic Harvest Designer paper found in the Mini Catalog.

My sweet little Scottie Dog is punched out from the Metallic & Shimmer paper found in the Mini catalog… although you could use Basic Black. I then punched the bow out of Real Red and attached it to my puppy. I mounted my Christmas Scottie onto a piece of Vellum Cardstock that I had leftover from another project (it’s around 2″ in diameter). Don’t you love how the vellum makes the dog stand out more! This piece was popped up with dimensionals.

The greeting comes from our stamp set and was stamped in Garden Green ink to coordinate with the Garden Green stripes that we added to our designer paper. Don’t forget that you save 10% when you bundle the stamp set and punch. And the “eye” on my Scottie is actually one of the metallic dots on the specialty paper … cool right!?

I want to thank you for joining me today for my debut of Christmas Scottie. This will not be one of the cards in my class, but you know you’ll leave with totally cute cards (and a treat for your puppy!) plus there is always something “sweet” as a treat for you too.

Have a good day ~

Here is a list of supplies I used to create today’s card ….

Amazing Scottie Dog Card …

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! It was a stormy Saturday by me, but my craft room is in the basement … so I was safe! lol Hope you were too.

I’m thrilled to share today’s card with you. If you are a puppy lover … then you are going to love this simple, fun Amazing Scottie Card! It was created by one of the design team members in the group that I belong to and I just fell in love with it …

We start with our cardbase in the landscape / horizontal position. You’ll attach the Gingham Cottage Designer Series paper onto the black mat, and then secure that to your cardbase. Using the “Deckle Rectangle” die, cut out a piece in Basic White for our greeting.

Stamp the sentiment from the Amazing Phrasing stamp set on the rectangle using Calypso Coral ink. Bend the stamp so that it curves before adding it to the clear block. Then, add the white rectangle to the card front as shown …

Punch a dog using the black cardstock scrap and the Scottie Dog Punch. Cut a small piece of gingham ribbon and add it to the dog’s neck using mini glue dots to hold it on the back. Add the dog to the card using black Stampin’ Dimensionals, and one little gem to the collar for our scottie dog!

You can find the Christmas Scottie Bundle in the July – December Mini Catalog and the Amazing Phrasing stamp set in the Sale-a-bration catalog. See … just because it’s in the mini doesn’t mean it’s just for Christmas! It’s a mission to show you how to maximize the value of your stamping supplies!

Thank you for stopping by this Monday. Have a wonderful week.

Here is a list of the products that were used to create the card. Don’t forget … It’s Sale-a-bration, and you can earn FREE products with qualifying purchases.
