Day 2- Weekend of Dog Days of Summer

July 31st is:
National Mutts Day
But I'm going to include it into my weekend of dog days of summer.
I have a few of them to share today. I find I need pet sympathy cards and I hate to make one on the spot.
The black dog is also by Gina Marie Designs, paw print by Paper Smooches and heart by Stampendous with black ink by Hero Arts and red ink by Stampin Up. I bought the die-cut from eBay. I inked the inside of the die cut with distress ink. The patterned paper is by Paper Adventures and green by My Mind's Eye.

Dog Sympathy

Pets are Family

 This card is a stamp from Gina Marie on a Spellbinders die-cut. The other die cuts from Cricut. The brown background is stamped with Stampin' Up background stamp onto kraft cardstock by Oriental Trading Co. Yellow background is a recycled card.

Woof Woof

Thanks for looking.

Red Graduation Cards

Graduation is near and I have a card to share. I die cut the grad cap and the white circle using my Cricut. The patterned paper is by The Paper Studio. The sentiment is a Jolee's sticker and the small squiggly stickers are by Paper Adventures. I used cardstock by Recollections.

This one isn't red but it uses the same supplies. The sentiment is a Cricut cut

Thanks for looking.

Scratch Cat Card

Today I have a cat card to share with a stamp by Inque Boutique. The patterned paper is by Paper Adventures {green}, Papertrey Ink {black polka dot} and American Crafts {Peach}. I die cut the peach die out using the Cricut. I used EK Sucess circle punches to cut out the image and the black polka dot circle. The black cardstock is by Recollections and I'm not sure about the sentiment but if I had to guess I would say it's part of a Die Cuts with a View stack. The button is from my MIL's stash and the ribbon is by Offray.

Thanks for looking.

Stretch Yours Stamps Day 2 Joy

I'm posting some more cards for the Stretch Your Stamps 2 class that I am taking. This technique is from Day 2 with Joy. I don't have the stamps they are using so I used THIS background stamp by Just Rite. My paint is by Ranger and then I inked the background with purple distress ink.

The sentiment stamp is a new one by Gina Marie from her Birthday Words Stamp Set and can be found at her discount website at Wholesalecraftingsupplies.com. I stamped the sentiment with brown ink by Stampin Up.

The patterned paper is old by Paper Adventure and the purple cardstock is by Bazzill. The flowers are by Oriental Trading Co {brown polka dot}, Creative Memories {big purple flower}, Making Memories {brown flower}, and Prima {small purple flower}. The center of the flowers is by Recollections. I cut the hole out with my cutting system by Creative Memories.

For this card I used brown cardstock from Hobby Lobby, a tag by Studio 112, and a sentiment stamp by Stampendous.

Thanks for looking.
