Hi Everyone,
My sweet brother-in-law celebrated his birthday this past weekend. I thought I would share the card I made for him. It’s a simple little card using Paper Smooches stamps. I love the Chubby Chums stamp set and it crossed my mind that the dog would look *adorable* if he were carrying a “happy birthday” sign. There was always the possibility that he might look a little odd but I decided to give it a go anyway and I have to say I *LOVE* this look. A few more ideas are now pinging through my brain (love this phrase, thanks Bev)! In fact, I am going to make another card right now using the same dog (as I have prepared a few and they need to be used!).
Oh, and here’s the card…
Happy Birthday
Materials used: Stamps – Chubby Chums, Hullabaloo, Party Posse (Paper Smooches); Cardstock – American Crafts; Designer Paper – 6×6 Paper Pad – Surprise! (BoBunny); Sugardot Stickers – Everyday Vintage (Prima); Copic Markers and Distress Ink.
On the inside of the card, I attached a white panel and a border of matching patterned paper just to finish it off.
Edited to add: Just finished another card. Yay me! lol If you think the eye of the little pooch looks a little odd, this is because the glossy accents hasn’t quite dried (can someone say impatient? lol) and was wanting to droop while it was standing up during the photography session. It has settled down now that it is lying flat.
Happy Birthday

Thanks for visiting today!
Happy Stamping!

Here I am, late again! Soooo sorry. You’ve made a sweet pair of little pup cards — love them. And I love the reds in them! Very party-like. Echoing the other ladies, the happy birthday sign actually being held by the party dog, is brilliant! My brain just asked why I hadn’t come up with something so clever!!! LOL. Keep ’em comin’ Kylie, just love seeing your cards! hugs
Oh Bev, you’ve so much going on so please don’t apologise. I feel so blessed that you would take the time to visit AND to comment as well. Thank you sooo much for the very kind words and big hugs to you!
Okay, a little “how darn cute are these!” escaped my lips when I say your fabulous creations here, Kylie! You’re responsible for my ‘inside voice’ transforming to ‘outside’ with nearly every card you make! Oh well, people who hear me may define me as loopy (they wouldn’t be entirely wrong *grin*), but such adorable-ness and talent should not, unspoken, go! I imagine your brother-in-law quite loved his PS doggie – and how brilliant are you to extend the stamp! Those little paws peeping over the sign’s edge are super sweet! Yep, you’re working even more and more magic with your PS goodies! Keep them a-coming…Hugs~c
Gotta say your comment made me grin ALL over my face, C! Nothing wrong with loopy – all the best people are! 😉 Thank you sooo much for your super sweet words, C! hugs!!
Happy birthday to Ben! 😀
Like Savannah, I just love the way you extended the pup. It’s such a clever idea! It makes the puppy look almost like he’s on his tippy toes. I also love the Bo-Bunny patterned paper. I’ve bought it recently and was on the lookout for some cool ideas and combinations that use it. 🙂
Thanks, Elle! He had a great day with the family. 🙂
Oh, I’m glad you liked it. Thank you. 🙂 It’s such a cute paper set, isn’t it? Can’t wait to see what you do as I know it will be AMAZING!
OHHHHHHHH! That little pup is just toooooooo cute! I LOVE how you extended his body to hold that sign! FAB idea– clever x10000000:) Super fun design! And I LOOOOOVE x100000 that you made two cards! Hope your brother-in-law enjoyed his very special day:)
THANKS so much for stopping by my blog and leaving love <3 You made my day 🙂
🙂 Thanks, Savannah! I was so chuffed with how it turned out. 🙂 He did have a lovely day, thank you! Hope your Travis did too. I often stop by your blog but I apologise that I don’t often leave a comment. I am going to try and remedy that as I know how much I appreciate when people comment here. 🙂 Thanks, Savannah! Have a wonderful day!
