Dashing Dachshund Cards with Vanessa and Tina

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a fun card using the Dashing Dachshund set.
I love this cute dog image! Here I used an interactive slider card base die from Lawn Fawn to extend my scene. 

I first stamped the houses from Charming City onto my background and inked everything with the same ink. Then I added a strip of white cardstock to the bottom to create snow. Next, I stamped all my images -  the bike from Paris Afternoon, the tree from Seasonal Trees, the scarf from Critters on the Go, the lights from Scenic Route, and the dogs. I colored everything with Copics, die-cut the pieces with the matching dies, and adhered the images to the card. 

After I had assembled the slider card, I mounted the piece to a red rectangle that was die-cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I created a card base with two die-cuts of the Frilly Frames Stripes Dies and adhered the slider piece to the card. Finally, I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of red cardstock, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder, and adhered the strip to the card with foam tape before adding snowflakes with a white gel pen.

I hope you've been enjoying the dachshund inspiration all week! Have a lovely weekend!

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina, and today I am experimenting with a bit of mirror stamping! As soon as I saw the adorable Dashing Dachshund set, I knew I wanted to give this technique a try. And I was pleasantly surprised by how fun it was!

To obtain a mirrored image I stamped the cute dog, his hat and sweater onto a white silicon mat with my usual Copic-friendly ink. Then I transferred these images to a piece of Neenah Solar White paper by simply placing this onto the mat and rubbing over the area where the images were stamped on the mat. When you lift off the paper you can reveal your mirrored images. Which I then fussy cut and set aside while I stamped everything again in my Misti. I also used the cute Santa and packages from the Reindeer Games set.

To create the background I added a few trees from the Seasonal Trees set, which is a great set to have in your stash since you can use it all year round. All the coloring was done with my Copic markers and as always on my Christmas cards, I added tons of snow with a white gel pen! Some fine white glitter makes the trees extra sparkly. 

For the sweaters, I first colored them with a green Copic marker and then stamped a pattern with the smallest snowflake of the Dashing Dachshund set in a contrasting dark pink color. As an extra touch, I added a white dot with my gel pen to the middle of each snowflake. Contrasting blue and white borders finish their ‘custom made’ pullovers.

I die cut three snowbanks from white Neenah paper and inked up the edges with Distress Oxide Prize Ribbon. This color was also used for the sky portion of my card panel, and I splattered it with white paint droplets to give the illusion of snowflakes. Before assembling the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Reindeer Games set directly onto the smallest snow bank.

Next, I could adhere the trees and snowbanks to my card panel before gluing it to my card base. Lastly, I added all my images with some foam tape. The doggies are in such a rush to reach Santa that their hats are flying in the air! They remind me a lot of our dogs Mira and Lena who love running around too!!

If you haven’t tried mirror stamping before, I hope this card will inspire you to give it a try! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
