Doggone Birthday Card with Yan

Hey crafty friends! It's Yan here, and today I’m sharing a super cheerful birthday card packed with adorable pups, presents, and balloons. This one was so much fun to put together, and let me walk you through how I made it.

​To set up the scene, I stamped the adorable dog using the Doggone Birthday Stamps and filled the surrounding area with presents and balloons from the Party Pets Stamps onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Coloring these cute little images with Copic markers is always my favorite part! Once finished, I lined up the matching dies for both sets to die-cut everything flawlessly.

​COPIC COLORS:
Dachshund: E30, E31, E35, R30, R43
Presents, Party hat, Balloons: R43, RV11, Y11, Y19

​Next, I used the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies to cut out a frame from a fresh piece of white cardstock. On the card base behind it, I gently blended Distress Oxide Ink in Salvaged Patina to create a soft, bright sky for my scene. I also die-cut two fluffy clouds using the Tropical Trees Background Die to pop into the background.

​For the greeting, I cut a sweet stitched label frame using the Icing Rectangle Frame Dies and stamped the sentiment directly in the center. ​To bring everything together, I assembled all the colored images, frame, and sentiment onto the card using foam tape. Adding that extra layer of dimension really brings the party scene to life!

​And that’s it! A fun, dimensional birthday card that’s sure to bring a big smile to any dog lover’s special day. Happy crafting, everyone!

Doggone Birthday Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm happy to be back on the blog with this interactive birthday card featuring some cute pups having fun partying, and as very often I started off by stamping all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies and colored everything using my alcohol markers in browns and neutrals for the dogs and a yellow + green + aqua + turquoise color palette for the balloons, banners, and presents.

As always, here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: Doggone Birthday for the dog in the center, Party Pets for the other dogs, party hats, small presents, flying balloons, Heart Bouquet for the balloons on both sides, and Balloon Rides for the banners.

I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and next worked on my interactive panel, starting by cutting a large Stitched Rectangle panel out of a Rainbow Bright starry blue paper. I mixed broken china oxide ink with water, used a slim brush to add splatters to my panel, and did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I created the whole interactive feature using a Summer Splash green paper, and you can check this Christmas Card blog post which includes a process video showing how to build such an interactive card.

Once my interactive panel was done, I attached the images using liquid glue on the interactive tab for the flying dog and balloons, as well as 1 mm and 2 mm foam squares for the balloons, banners, presents, and other dogs. I love those little guys so much; they're just so stinking cute with their happy faces!

I purposely left a space right between the balloons for my sentiment, I white embossed "Have a doggone birthday" from Doggone Birthday on yellow cardstock and used a Rounded Rectangle Mat die to turn it into a small banner that I attached to my panel using liquid glue. I attached my panel to a 5.5 x 4.25 inches white panel using 1mm foam tape, and then to a white card base to finish my card.

And that's it! I hope that you like this lovely, colorful birthday card. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Doggone Birthday Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today’s card features the very sweat Doggone Birthday stamp and die set. It’s a smaller set yet has all the elements you need to create festive projects!

I really wanted to show off this cute little party dog by creating several layers, so after I prepared my white card base, I browsed through my paper stash to find a fun combo. To start, I die cut a panel from a bright green striped paper (Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones) with the outer die from Frilly Frames Chevron.

For extra layering I used two sizes of the Limitless Labels 1 dies, cutting the largest from a grey sheet (Subtle Grey Tones) and the smaller from white card stock. To give this latter piece added interest I ran it through my die cutting machine with the Moroccan Circles embossing folder. Both the grey paper as the embossing brings so much extra detail to this simple card design!

After gluing all these panels to the white card base, I stamped and die cut my images. As I mentioned before, this set can be matched with lots of other sets but also works great on its own as I show in this project. I love the little party hat and the bones with bows! So cute!
All the coloring was done with my Copic markers.

My sentiment consists of two parts. First portion is a stamped ‘Happy Birthday’ (Punny Fruit Greetings). I couldn’t stamp onto the embossed panel, so I cut another smaller piece with the Limitless Labels 1 dies from white card stock and stamped onto this paper in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Next, I glued this to the bottom part of the embossed panel.

I spelled the word ‘YAY’ in two colors with letters of the Balloon Alphabet stamp and die set. After securing some green thread to the back of the letters, I mounted them to the white panel with foam tape. I made sure to hold the ends of the thread in place with a piece of tape, adhering them to the card base where I could hide them by putting the adorable doggie in place. Lastly, I added the two bones as presents and a few Iridescent Jewels. 

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Doggone Birthday Card with Amanda

Hey hey there, crafty friends! It’s Amanda here with you on this lovely day! What’s your feelings on slimline cards?! I honestly love them, but don’t make them too often! But, when you have all these adorable Doggone Birthday party pets, a slimline card is perfect!

To create this card, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 3.5”x8.5". I blended Catherine Pooler Mint ink across the entire panel. I then stamped the dots from the Background Basics 2 Stamps with In The Park ink in the upper right and bottom left corners of the panel. I did the same thing with the diagonal grid stamp, but in the upper left and lower right corners.

I then trimmed another piece of white cardstock to 3.25”x8.25”. On this piece, I masked off the bottom 3/4” with masking tape and then ink blended Cotton Candy across the entire panel. I glued the panels together.

Then, I started stamping the Party Pets and Doggone Birthday party animals. I colored them in with Copic markers and then die cut them out with their coordinating dies.

I put 3D foam squares behind all the images and sentiment and adhered them to the card. I added a little shadow for each little pet with an N1 and N2 Copic marker. I also glued a few Onyx Black Jewels on the card for a finishing touch.

And that’s the finished card! I had so much fun coloring these little guys in!  So many adorable pets! I hope you find some time to get crafty today!

Doggone Birthday Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here. Today's card has a birthday theme with a cute image from the Doggone Birthday stamp set. The card also features a more masculine color palette with shades of yellow, brown, and blue which is a departure from my usual pink heavy card designs. It's refreshing to change it up once in awhile!

The Sunny Studio supplies needed to recreate this card are the Doggone Birthday stamp set & it's coordinating dies plus the Perfect Gift Boxes stand alone die set. 

Here are the Copics I used to color the images: brown - E31, E33, E35; teal - BG70, BG02, BG07; yellow - Y21; shading on bone - W1, W3; rosy cheeks - RV23

I started with a kraft card base measuring 6 inches by 3.5 inches. I added a white panel trimmed a bit smaller than the card base. I used a paper punch to angle the corners of this panel.  

When I had my stamped images colored and die cut and the gifts assembled, I played around with the arrangement while keeping in mind where to stamp the greeting. This is usually how most of my cards get created. I have a general idea of the design prior to starting, then after all my design elements are ready, I play around with composition before adhering everything in place permanently. 

It's all part of my creative process!
