My card features the Paws for a Cause stamp set and coordinating Lucky Dog sentiment set. Both of these stamp sets will capture the hearts of anyone who has adopted a dog, works at a shelter or raises money for adoption awareness. All of the silhouettes and sentiments in both these sets are so, so sweet!
I stamped the happy dog silhouette directly on to patterned paper die cut with the Notebook Bracket die. The sentiment comes in a straight line but I used washi tape to mask off different parts and stamped it on three lines using two different ink colours. The Santa’s hat is from the Chubby Chum Pals stamp set.
I embellished the card with the Snowflakes dies. All of the patterned paper, including the sentiment strips, is from Teresa Collins’ Santa’s List paper pad.
